NHTSA Complaint #11171213 — 2013 FORD ESCAPE

AT 60,900 MILES THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. NO WARNING SIGNS, NO ENGINE LIGHTS, JUST LOST POWER AND DURING DRIVING AND PULLED OVER PUT IN PARK AND THEN ENGINE JUST REVVED AND WOULDN'T GO. TOOK TO FORD DEALER AND DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION JUST 900 MILES OVER WARRANTY. CONTACTED MANY CHANNELS WITHIN DEALER AND FORD BUT KNOW ONE WOULD HELP HAD TO PAY $4500.00 OUT OF POCKET TO GET REBUILT AT THE FORD DEALER. NOW WITH 37,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AGAIN AND THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING, FORD WILL DO NOTHING AND THEY SAY I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION AT THE AMOUNT OF $4500.00 AGAIN. SAME SYMPTOMS THIS TIME, NO WARNING JUST FAILED. THIS TO ME IS CRAZY I HAVE TO BE ON MY 3RD TRANSMISSION WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS 99K MILES. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AND ISSUE WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS AS THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS EXACT ISSUES. ALSO THE MANY TRANSMISSION SHOPS I HAVE SPOKE TO HAVE SAID THEM SAME THING, LOTS IF ISSUES AND VERY COMMON TO FAIL EARLY.
