NHTSA Complaint #11282790 — 2017 FORD ESCAPE

THE NEXT DAY AFTER PURCHASE SEPTEMBER 2018, I NOTICED A SLIGHT SLIPPAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND TOOK THE CAR BACK BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON AND THE CAR WOULD PROCEED TO MOVE AT A LOW SPEED. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLES FLUIDS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE NEXT DAY THE ISSUE PERSISTED, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE MONSTER DEALERSHIP HANDLED THIS. THE ISSUE WITH FEELING THE TRANSMISSION JERK CONTINUED. MAY 2019 THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE APPEARED (CODES LISTED BELOW) IT WAS SERVICED BY A&B TRANSMISSION. WITHING 48 HOURS THE ISSUE RETURNED. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AFTER DRIVING SHORT DISTANCES. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS FROM MAY-JULY THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE FIXED AND CONTINUES AS OF TODAY. THE DELAY IN REPORTING IS THAT I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS HERE, PLEASE ADVISE I WOULD LIKE TO RESOLVE THIS. CODE P0741-00 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE/ STUCK OFF - CURRENT DTC - WARNING LAMP ON. CODE P1744-00 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE/ STUCK OFF - CURRENT DTC - WARNING LAMP ON. P1450-00 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACCUM - -PENDING DTC - WARNINGLAMP ON.
