Consumer Description
WHILE NORMALLY ACCELERATING FROM STOP, VEHICLE REACHED 4000 RPM THEN SHIFTED VERY HARD, DRIVER AND ALL PASSENGERS EXPERIENCED A JOLT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DIAGNOSIS REVEALED CODES P0732 & P0734 - CD4E TRANSMISSION. THE SHOP MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN BOTH GEARS 2 & 4 AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED/RE-BUILT. AN "IDENTIFIX - DIRECT HIT" DOCUMENT WAS PROVIDED SHOWING 60 CONFIRMED FIXES REGARDING TRANSMISSION REPLACE/REBUILDS ON 2008 FORD ESCAPES UNDER THE SAME ISSUE. UPON REVIEW OF THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I AM SEEING MULTIPLE INVESTIGATIONS AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME/IDENTICAL ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES FOR THIS CONCERN AS I AM CURRENTLY FACING A REPAIR BILL OVER $3000.00 ON A VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED LESS THAN 8 MONTHS AGO. *TR
