Consumer Description

THE 2006 FORD ESCAPE HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS DUE TO A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I TALKED TO A MECHANIC FROM FORD AND HE SAID THAT THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE, ON ALL ESCAPES, THERE ARE POSTINGS ONLINE WHERE PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT THEIR ESCAPE. MY ESCAPE ONLY HAS 65000 MILES AND IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE, THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CANT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM SO THEY HAVE TO JUST REPLACE IT. A FORD MECHANIC ONLINE SAID THE CASING WELD INTERNALLY IS FAULTY MAKING THE TRANSMISSION LOOSE PRESSURE. OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE POSTED THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR TRANNY ON THEIR ESCAPE, I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT IT NEED BE RECALLED, ITS COSTING MY FAMILY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM,WHEN FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECT ON THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *TR
