NHTSA Complaint #11166783 — 2014 FORD ESCAPE

THE VEHICLE TREMORS AND SHUDDERS WHILE DRIVING. IT STARTED JUST A LITTLE OVER 100,000 MILES. IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING ACROSS A RUGGED OR BUMPY ROAD, BUT IT'S THE ENTIRE VEHICLE THAT SHAKES. FORDS DIAGNOSTIC WAS CONCLUDED WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION FAULT LIGHT OR CE LIGHT ON ACKNOWLEDGING AN ISSUE. THEY KEPT FOR DAYS AND RAN SEVERAL TESTS. THE MECHANIC COULD TELL BY DRIVING IT A FEW TIMES THAT IS HAS WHAT HE CALLED THE 'TRANSMISSION SHUDDER.' IF HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS AND MENTIONED HOW COMMON IT WAS ON MY MODEL, THEN WHY IS IT NOT UNDER A RECALL? AFTER RESEARCH, I HAVE READ OTHER EXPERIENCING THE SAME COMPLAINTS. ALSO, WHY AFTER DRIVING 12,000 MILES AFTER THE DIAGNOSTIC NOT A SINGLE LIGHT HAS INDICATED AN ISSUE. IT JUST CONTINUALLY SHAKES AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TRUST FOR IT TO TAKE MY FAMILY AND I ANYWHERE. IT'S MY DAILY DRIVER BUT I ONLY LIVE 4 MINUTE SFROM WORK AND THAT'S ALREADY RISKY TO ME.
