Consumer Description

AFTER PURCHASING MY FORD MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. I REPLACED IT AND A YEAR LATER HAD MY RECALL REPLACED FOR MY COOLANT SENSOR. WHILE THIS HAPPENED I HAD NO IDEA MY COOLANT LEVEL WAS SO LOW BECAUSE MY WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON IN RETURN DAMAGED THE HOSE. SO I HAD TO SPEND $562 TO REPLACE THAT TO MAKE SURE THE RECALL WAS PUT ON CORRECTLY. WHEN I RETURNED TO PICK UP MY CAR I COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE IT OUT BECAUSE IT STARTED JERKING AND FEELS LIKE MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT AGAIN. THIS 2014 FORD ESCAPE HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. NOT TO MENTION AFTER SO MANY MILES OF DRIVING I HAVE TO TAKE OUT MY FUSE TO RESET MY BLUETOOTH RADIO.
