We have a 2013 Escape. I swear it was designed by chicks hired for DEI.

It has cross-traffic detectors. We live in a rural area. It's constantly misidentifying the grass and trees at the side of the road as cross traffic. We have to turn the damned thing off on every drive.

The exterior lights are automatic, but the controls are completely hidden from the driver's view, so if you need to manually turn them on, you can't see them without opening the door and looking around the steering wheel. The little lights are illuminated but the control itself is not - you have to feel for it.

God help you if you want to dim the dash lights at night. Trying to find the controls is an exercise in dangerous futility.

Some of the displays are polarized, so if you wear sunglasses, the polarizations cancel out and they're just black.

It's AWD, but if either axle is on a slippery surface, it refuses to transfer the drive to the other one and you're basically stuck.

The wiring is very tasty for critters and there are multiple pathways which mice can get in. I had to retrofit metal screens in multiple places (4, to be exact) to keep the critters out of the car.

Did I mention the transmission just up and died one day, luckily with 100 miles still on the warranty?

It was an OK car when we lived in the city, I guess. I don't think I'll ever buy another car built after about 2002...
