Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2008 FORD ESCAPE (USED) AND APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND 38,000 MILES, I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHEN I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT IT MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SURE ENOUGH, FOUND A LARGE PUDDLE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE FLOOR OF MY GARAGE. I HAVE TO REFILL THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WEEKLY DUE TO THE MASSIVE AMOUNTS ITS LEAKING AND AM LOOKING INTO GETTING THIS FIXED NOW. *TR
