Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND WITHOUT WARNING MY 2006 FORD ESCAPE LOST MOMENTUM. THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME COULD NOT REALIZE MY CAR WAS STOPPING BECAUSE I WAS STILL USING MY GAS AND NOT THE BRAKES. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS A CENTER TURNING LANE THAT I WAS ABLE TO USE AND AVOID A REAR END COLLISION. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION. LONG NIGHT TURNED INTO A LONG WEEK AND A RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FOR $3,220.70. MY FORD ESCAPE HAS 52,214 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST TOLD ME THAT THE BEARINGS FAILED AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOKED LIKE SILVER PAINT. SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS (MAZDA) TRANSMISSION. *TR
