Consumer Description

MY 2015 FORD ESCAPE SE HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 5 MPH. THE INTERSTATE WAS BUSY AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY 3 DIFFERENT VEHICLES SWERVING TO GO AROUND ME UNTIL I COULD FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND THEY CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR ESTIMATE $5000.
