Consumer Description

2009 FORD ESCAPE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR UNDER ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 5,000 TO 6,000 RPMS WITH NO ERROR LIGHTS COMING ON. DEALER WAS ADVISED OF THE PROBLEM AND STATED THAT IT WAS LOW ON TRANNY FLUID. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED TWO DAYS LATER AND IS NOT FIXED YET. THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS QUITE POSSIBLE.*TR
