NHTSA Complaint #11101797 — 2014 FORD ESCAPE

I PURCHASED MY 2014 ESCAPE ECO BOOST USED IN MID 2015. IT WAS 1.5 YEARS OLD WITH 74K MILES. IN DECEMBER OF 2017 THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED SHIFTING WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION PREVIOUSLY. I STOPPED TO GET GAS ONE NIGHT AND TOOK BACK OFF AND IT SLIPPED IN SECOND GEAR AND NEVER REENGAGED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODE INDICATORS SHOWING ON THE DASH AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY IT WAS DRIVING AND SHIFTING PREVIOUSLY TO MAKE ME THINK THERE WAS AN ISSUE. IT LITERALLY JUST HAPPENED ALL AT ONCE. THE REPAIR CONSISTED OF A COMPLETE REBUILD. THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID, TCC SOLENOID, BUSHING AND BEARINGS WERE REPLACED TOTALING AN OUT OF POCKET $2900.00 ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS LESS THANK 4 YEARS OLD. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE ECO BOOST AND THERE IS EVEN A RECALL ON THE 2008 ESCAPES. AS WELL AS SOME OF THE 2017 MODELS.
