SHIFTING IS NOT RIGHT IT STOPPED IN MIDDLE OFTHE ROAD AND LOST OF POWER WHILE IN MOTION AND WONT MOVE OR SHIFT GEAR THIS IS AFTER THE RECALL AS PERFORMED DEALER WAS ON INTERESTED ON SELL NEW CAR AND CAR LEFT DEAL IN WORST CONDITION THEN IT ARRIVE IN WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSIS AND NOTHING WAS QUOTED ALMOST CASED A ACCIDENT IN A BUSY STREET AND HAD MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WITH ME CAR WAS PURCHASED A YR AGO AND SEATS ARE STUCK AND NO REASON OR SOLUTION WAS OFFERED OTHER THAN TO BUY A NEW CARCAR WAS IN MOTION AND JUST FROM OUT THE BLUE SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE HAD HIT CAR JUST?LOUD NOISE AND CAR STARED TO MOVE AGAIN AND ONCE AGAIN BEGAM TO FORCE AS IF?IT WAS ON PARK WJEN IT WAS INDRIVE WJEN IN?SPORT IT WOD SHOW CHANGE VERY SCARY NOWARMING JUST STOPPED

1ST ISSUE IS THE CAR STALLS RANDOMLY AND WARNING STATES, 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON,' WITH NO CODES THROWN. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE MOVING AND AT A STOP LIGHT. IT WILL START BACK UP AFTER SITTING FOR 5 MINUTES. HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE MONTHS. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR AND ALSO BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES FOR EITHER ISSUE.

IT WON'T GO INTO PARK IT WILL ROLL ON A HILL WITHOUT E BRAKE. WOULD DRIVE FOR A WHILE AND THEN STOP GOING RANDOMLY PUT ME AT RISK SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT COMES ON.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE BAD AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ONLINE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GOING BAD SO EARLY THE CAR JUST STARTED NOT CHANGING GEARS THEN IT WOULD DRIVE KEPT DOING THIS TIL I GOT HOME

AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINE AND THEN VIOLENTLY SHAKING AS IT THREW THE CAR OUT OF GEAR AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR. THEN ROLLED FOR A BIT AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP.

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR STARTED TO MAKE A WHINING NOISE, AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND THE CAR STARTED TO REV UP AND LOOSE POWER UNTIL THE CAR COULDN'T MOVE ANYMORE AND ONLY ROLLED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK WHEN I MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW ON ITS OWN. I PRESSED HARDER ON THE GAS TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD ALMOST REAR ENDING THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME. IT DID THIS ONCE MORE BEFORE I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE INTERSECTION MY CAR COULD BARELY ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO NOTIFICATIONS OR WARNINGS THAT POPPED UP. AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT UP THE HILL ON THE NEXT ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND THEN A NOTIFICATION POPPED UP SAYING TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED AND FORD SAYS IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER THAT CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY TRANSMISSION. I ASKED THEM ABOUT A SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE LOW COOLANT LEVEL WARNING LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST MOTIVE POWER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. CHRIS AUFFENBERG LINCOLN LOCATED AT 5840 MO-100, WASHINGTON, MO 63090, WAS CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO A DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO BECAME AWARE OF A COOLANT...

MY 2014 FORD ESCAPE BROKE DOWN THE FIRST TIME BEFORE CHRISTMAS 2019 AT 100,048 MILES. THE WARNING LIGHT WAS STATING THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS MY VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I ASSUMED THIS WAS RELATED TO THE RECALL FOR THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR THAN I HAD REPLACED PRIOR. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND DROVE IT FOR 3 MORE DAYS. I HAD DRIVEN IT ABOUT TEN MILES FROM HOME THE MORNING IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN. THE CAR GAVE NO WARNING SIGNALS OR LIGHTS. I WAS IN A 65MPH ZONE ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE VEHICLE HAD POWER TO THE ENGINE BUT NO ACCELERATION. THE RPM'S WOULD REV TO 4000 BUT NOT ACCELERATE. I QUICKLY WAS DOWN TO LESS THAN 10MPH TRYING TO MAKE IT UP A SMALL INCLINE. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE I...

ON JANUARY 10, 2020 WHILE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH ON PUBLIC ROAD WITH SLIGHT DECLINE IN ROAD AT THAT POINT, THE SUV SPONTANEOUSLY DISENGAGED FROM GEAR. WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PRESSED, THE ENGINE WOULD REV AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED BUT VEHICLE ACTED AS THOUGH IN NEUTRAL. THE DRIVER COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, SHUT OFF ENGINE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, RE-STARTED, PUT INTO GEAR, AT WHICH TIME THE SUV WOULD LURCH FORWARD ABOUT 15 FEET AND THEN DISENGAGE AGAIN. PROCEEDED DOWN THE ROAD THIS WAY UNTIL SUV COULD NOT ADVANCE AT ALL, NOW AT UPHILL. IT WAS TOWED TO CLOSEST REPAIR GARAGE WHERE DIAGNOSIS WAS COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE HAD EXHIBITED NO SIGNS WHATSOEVER OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, NO DIFFICULTIES SHIFTING INTO GEARS, NO HESITATION OF AUTOMATIC SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. MILEAGE AT TIME OF EVENT...

ON FEBRUARY 2, 2020 I WAS DRIVING HOME AND MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND RELEASED AS I HIT THE ACCELERATOR & THEN IT WOULDN'T SPEED UP AT ALL, WHICH IS WHEN I REALIZED MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS. I AM VERY METICULOUS WITH MY VEHICLES AND THIS NEVER SHOULD'VE HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME OR EVEN A SECOND TIME. I REACHED OUT TO FORD ABOUT IT, BUT THEY TOOK NO RESPONSIBILITY. THE FIRST TIME MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WAS AT ABOUT 79K MILES. THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO CONVENIENTLY CHECK THE TRANSMISSION OIL WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE IT INTO A SHOP.

CAR KEPT STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THEN COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AFTER GOING 40MPH. NO INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION ERROR. CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND STILL DOESN'T WANT TO DRIVE. SOMETIMES THE ACCELERATION ON THE VEHICLE IS TERRIBLE AND THE AC GIVES OUT AND I NEED TO CONSTANTLY TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO WORK. HAVING TO TOW IT TO FORD BECAUSE IT'S NOT DRIVABLE AND SPEND ALL THIS MONEY ON A CAR I'M STILL PAYING FOR, GETTING RID OF IT AND NOT BUYING ANOTHER FORD EVER AGAIN.

TRANSMISSION WENT AT 80K MILES, EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER. NO WARNINGS ONLY WARNING I GOT WAS WHEN IT WAS TOOK LATE. NO WAY TO CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID AS IT IS A SEALED TRANSMISSION. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $6K TO GET IT FIXED.

ON 12/31/19 WHILE DRIVING ON PCH THE THE WOULD NOT ACCELEBRATE IT'S LIKE IT IN NEUTRAL VERY DANGEROUS! HAD TO PULL OVER AND GET A TOW HOME. DOESN'T SHIFT GEARS RIGHT. 2018 IT WAS JERKING FIX THE TRANSMISSION NOW THIS. ONLY 71000 MILES ON IT. !

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 33 MPH WITH THE SPEED LIMIT BEING 45 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY BECAME CONCERNED FOR MY SAFTEY AND PULLED OFF ON A SIDE STREET STILL GOING 33 MPH AND NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. ONCE STOPPED, I HAD A DASHBOARD MESSAGE APPEAR SAYING "TRANSMISSION FAULT". IT WOULD NOT GO INTO MOTION AT THIS POINT AFTER PULLING OVER TO STOP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS ADVISED BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE FLUID WAS BROKEN DOWN PER THEIR TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN AND THAT THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE SYSTEM. HE TOLD ME I SHOULD HAVE CHANGED FLUID EVERY 30K MILES. THE COMPLAINT I HAVE AGAINST FORD IS THAT MY DRIVERS MANUAL STATES TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION FLUID AT 150K MILES. I AM NOW FACED WITH...

WHILE IN MOTION, ON EITHER A CITY STREET OR ON A FREEWAY. FROM EITHER IN A SLOW STOP AND GO ACCELERATION WHILE IN CITY TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THEN CATCHES IN A JERKING A EFFECT CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO PAUSE AND THEN CATCH. THIS IS ALSO WILL HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY IN THE EVENT OF A QUICK ACCELERATION TO AVOID CHANGE IN THE TRAFFIC OR SOMETHING IN THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING AND PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, BUT IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CROSSROADS FORD OF PRINCE GEORGE (4500 WHITEHILL BLVD, PRINCE GEORGE, VA 23875, (877) 331-9405). THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO USE ROLLING STOPS TO AVOID THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE DEALER'S PARKING LOT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE OXYGEN SENSORS AFTER PERFORMING A SMALL TEST DRIVE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. THE TOTAL COST FOR THE REPAIRS WAS OVER $4,200. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

AFTER PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE MY AUTOMATIC 2014 FORD ESCAPE. MY ENGINE REVVED, BUT I HAD NO ACCELERATION. IT SOUNDED AS IF I WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TRIED TO SHIFT GEARS, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED AS MY CAR NEARLY CAME TO A HALT ON THE BUSY HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE RIGHT LANE EVEN THOUGH IT PUT ME IN FRONT OF AN ONRAMP AND GUARD RAIL. I WAS BEGINNING TO LOSE ANY FORWARD MOMENTUM TO THE POINT THAT MY CAR WAS SLIPPING BACKWARD. I PUSHED THE BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY TURN OFF MY CAR, TURN IT BACK ON, AND ACCELERATE A FEW FEET BEFORE I LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN. I DID THIS 3 TIMES BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY PAST THE ONRAMP AND GUARDRAIL. I WAS ABOUT 15 MINUTES FROM MEETING UP WITH MY HUSBAND AND TWO...

2014 FORD ESCAPE-79K MILES- WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULDN'T GIVE POWER AND HESITATED WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF. ALSO PUTTERED AND EVENTUALLY DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE AT ALL. I HAD TO SHUT OFF THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT TO GET IT TO MOVE AND EVENTUALLY MADE IT HOME DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE DISASTER. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC THE NEXT MORNING, MECHANIC INFORMED ME THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL WAS FULL BUT TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. SAID THIS IS RARE FOR A FAIRLY UNUSED CAR WITH LOW MILES BUT COMMON PROBLEM IN FORD ESCAPES. I LEFT THE MECHANIC IN TEARS WITH A $125.00 FEE AND A $3,500 QUOTE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WORKING ON THOSE FUNDS NOW TO REPAIR THE CAR, WHICH IS NOT YET PAID OFF. IF IT WAS I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT INTO PARK, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND WAS TOWED TO ROMANO FORD (315-637-4491, LOCATED AT 5431 N BURDICK ST, FAYETTEVILLE, NY 13066) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 74,000.

2014 FORD ESCAPE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, IT LURCHED HAD WE BEEN ON A FREEWAY WE ARE CERTAIN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

WASTEGATE SOLENOID NEEDS REPLACED, WE HAVE REPLACED SO MANY PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AS WELL. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS MANY PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE THAT'S ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. WE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE AFTER IT LEFT OUR VEHICLE COMPLETELY DISABLED IN A TOWN AN HOUR AWAY FROM OUR HOME. WE'VE ALSO REPLACED THE COOLANT BYPASS SOLENOID. THESE ARE ALL KNOWN ISSUES AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY A RECALL BUT OUR VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH IT MATCHES THE RECALL SPECS EXACTLY, OUR VIN # WAS NOT LISTED ON THE SHOPS OASIS SHEET SO WE'VE PAID FOR ALL OF THIS OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET. FORD NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND REIMBURSE EVERYONE THAT HAS HAD TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES AND PAY OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET FOR A KNOWN ISSUE THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND PROVIDED TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 192100, P1744. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER PERFORMANCE CIRCUIT WAS HIGH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB GILLINGHAM FORD (216-398-1300, LOCATED AT 8383 BROOKPARK RD, PARMA, OH 44129) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT AN UNKNOWN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS ON BACKORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,000.

A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE LOOKED AT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT BAD - EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAVE 51,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. BASICALLY THE CLUTCH SLIPS WHEN I DRIVE. THEY TOLD ME TO REPLACE THAT IT WOULD BE ALMOST $5000 BUT THAT THEY RECOMMENDED JUST REPLACING THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION SINCE IT'S ONLY $900 MORE. I ASKED IF THIS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WHOLE THING GOES OUT COMPLETELY. NOW I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO EVEN DRIVE TO TRY TO GET A SECOND OPINION. PARTS OF A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT GO OUT ON SUCH A LOW MILEAGE CAR. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS MODEL AS NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID...

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 70,000 MILES WHILE TRAVELING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A STATE HIGHWAY. LURCHED 2 - 3 TIMES THEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE LIGHT WENT OFF. NO POWER AT ALL. FORTUNATELY THERE NO WERE VEHICLES BEHIND ME OR SURELY I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. WAS ABLE TO GET OFF ROAD. NEED TOTAL REPLACEMENT $3,700. 5 PAYMENTS LEFT ON ORIGINAL LOAN. EXTENDED WARRANTY AT DEALER WAS TOO EXPENSIVE.

MY FAMILY AND I (WIFE AND NEWBORN) WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NOTICED A LACK OF POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY THE FORD ESCAPE BEGAN SHIFTING UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY. THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, AND THE ENGINE WAS WORKING, BUT THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE. IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. WE COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE SHOP THAT RECEIVED THE FORD ESCAPE FOUND INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND QUOTED US FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE PRICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT IS OVER HALF OF WHAT THE VEHICLE IS WORTH! (ACCORDING TO KBB)

MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE DRIVING HOME FROM HER SISTERS HOME AND ABOUT 5 MILES IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC ON A 2 LANE ROADWAY CROSSING A BRIDGE WHEN SHE LOST POWER AN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REACH OVER A SPEED OF 10MPH. THIS IN TURN PUT MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN DANGER WITH TRAFFIC MOVING AT A RATE OF 40MPH DROPPING TO 10 MPH WITH RPMS JUMPING TO BETWEEN 6 AN 7 RPMS . SHE LUCKILY MADE IT ACROSS THE BRIDGE WHERE SHE FOUND A WIDE SPOT TO PULL OFF. WHEN I ARRIVED I CHECKED FOR FLUID ON THE GROUND THERE WAS NONE. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND REVERSE AND IT WAS ABUNDENTLY CLEAR IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE A SLAMMING/BOOMING SOUND AS IT TRIED TO ENGAGE. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS NO POWER BEHIND THE VEHICLE TO...

WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND/STUMBLES BETWEEN 1800 AND 2000 RPMS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BECOME UNSTABLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS ANY ISSUE. I THEN CONTACTED 2 OTHER DEALERSHIPS. I SUGGESTED THAT IT MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT LOOKING AT ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES. "THIS CAME DOWN FROM MANAGEMENT" THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SHARED. MY TEENAGE DRIVER IS DRIVING THE CAR AND I AM CONCERNED THAT AN ACCIDENT IS EMINENT.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS THE CAR HAVE TROUBLE STARTING BACK UP. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN WHILE DRIVING, AND RANDOMLY STOPS. TODAY 10/28/2019 I WAS ON THE EWAY GOING WEST OF 465 INDIANAPOLIS AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN NSTOPPED BEFORE I CAN EVEN PULL OVER. I SAT THERE FOR 5 MINS CAR OFF AND IT TURNED BACK ON. I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF N START BACK UP. ENGINE LIGHT BATTERY AND TRANS LIGHT HAVE ALL CAME ON AMD IT SHUTS OFF AND COME BACK ON LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED YET AUTO SHOPS CAN NOT FIND A DIAGNOSTIC FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR A MONTH

THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2014 CAR WITH 77,000 MILES NEEDS TO BE REPLACED PER MY FORD DEALER. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST TO A NEARBY EXIT WITHOUT HARMING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY TORQUE CONVERTER 'GRENADED' AND THEN BLADE PIECES BLEW THROUGH THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I ASKED IF THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A 5 YEAR OLD CAR TO NEED ITS TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT FORD SAID 'HONESTLY...NO, BUT IT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE' I THEN SAID 'YOU MEAN WITH ESCAPES?' AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID 'YES'. HE SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION TECH HAS REBUILT SEVERAL TRANSMISSIONS IN THE ESCAPE THAT WERE EVEN STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM YET THE COMPANY HAS NOT ISSUED A...

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR EXHIBITS AN ENGINE HIGH HEAR AND ENTERS SAFE MODE AND RAPIDLY DECELERATING. THIS HAPPENED ONCE AND WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER AS A BAD PART FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL 17S09. IT OCCURRED AGAIN JUST RECENTLY AND WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED (COOLANT HOSE PROBLEMS) AND DID IT AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. IN BOTH CASES THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT 50 MPH ON A BUSY ROAD AND WE WERE LUCKY TO EXIT THE ROAD TO A SAFE AREA. THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS RELATED TO ENGINE FIRES BUT THIS IS ANOTHER SAFETY HAZARD. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT THE RECALL ACTION BY FORD IS INADEQUATE TO CORRECT THE CONDITION.

WHILE SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE TO PARK THE BUSHING THAT ATTACHES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION DID DEGRADE OVER TIME AND CAUSED THE BUSHING TO DETACH FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONDITION DID ALLOW THE DRIVER TO MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER TO PARK AND REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY, WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN REVERSE. THERE WAS NO WARNING MESSAGE OR AUDIBLE CHIME. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED ON FLAT BED. THE BUSHING DEGRADED TO THE POINT WHERE IT FELL OUT OF THE CABLE HOUSING. DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARDS.

SEAT BELT WILL NOT RETRACK, PULL FACE, WILL NO GRAB IT, PULL ALL WAY OUT AND WILL NOT RATCH TO STOP YOU FROM MOVING, I WILL NOT CRASH CAR TO SEE IF WILL KEEP ME IN SEAT AND OUT OF WIMDOW, I FILL IF I DID, IT WOILD NOT WORK, POWER TRAIN MAKE A WINING SOUND, MY NEED OIL

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, I WENT TO DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AFTER PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS. THE RPMS DIDN'T GO UP AND THE CAR JUST SAT THERE WITH NO WARNING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK TO SWITCH GEARS BACK TO DRIVE AGAIN TO TRY AND GO AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND THEN THE RPMS WENT UP AND STALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT PARKING LOT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A SYSTEM GLITCH SIMILAR TO A RECENT RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES I TRIED AGAIN TO DRIVE IT AND THE CAR STARTED UP OKAY STILL WITH NO WARNING SIGNALS REGISTERING. DRIVING AFTER LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES THE CAR WOULDN'T CONTINUE DRIVING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING AND ROLLED BACKWARDS TOWARDS A BUSY INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO SANDS FORD OF POTTSVILLE (1456 ROUTE 61 S, POTTSVILLE, PA 17901, (570) 622-1991) AT THE SUGGESTION OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED, THE DEALER COULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,232.

TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE DIES AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND FORD HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. MY DAUGHTER ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING. IT IS REPREHENSIBLE THAT FORD IS ALLOWING THIS TO GO WITHOUT A RECALL. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIFE AT RISK DUE TO GREED

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I ASSUMED IT WAS GAS BECAUSE MY TANK WAS LOW. I PUT GAVE IN MY CAR AND MY CAR DID NOT START UNTIL 2 TRIES. WHEN IT CAME ON THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED MAKEING A VERY LOUD WEIRD NOISE. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR TWICE AND THIS HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME TWICE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT MOVED FORWARD TWO INCHES AND BACK TWO INCHES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,170.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS. I PUSHED THE REMOTE START AND THE CAR STARTED, BUT IT SHUT OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THE SHUT DOWN WAS DUE TO OVERHEATING. THE ENGINE WAS COOL AND THE COOLANT WAS TEPID AT BEST. THIS IS NOT AN OVERHEATING ISSUE. THE CAR WILL NOT RUN ON MORE THAN 2 CYLINDERS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE RECALL FOR THE COOLANT SENSOR. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS CHARGED TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE NO CHARGE SINCE IT WAS RECALLED FOR THE OVERHEATING ISSUE. THIS OVERHEATING HAS CAUSED MY TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER TO FAIL AS WELL. THE COST OF THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY FORD SINCE THEY HAVE KNOW ABOUT THE OVERHEATING ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME NOW.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AND EXTENDED WARRANTY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNINGTO THE OPERATOR WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MILES AN HOUR IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, LOSS OF LIFE WAS JUST NARROWLY AVOIDED DUE TO UNCOMING TRAFFIC. DOES SOMEONE GAVE TO BE DESEASED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS IS FIXED ON THESE VEHICLES.

THE TRANSMISSION QUIT AT 109,000 MILES. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN I STARTED TO GO THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK IN STEAD OF MOVING FORWARD. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A MOMENT I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MOVE BY REVVING THE ENGINE. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SAFETY OF A PARKING LOT. THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND I AM FACING A $3500.00 REPAIR BILL ON SOMETHING THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF AND REFUSES TO FIX. THEY RECALLED MY VEHICLE FOR DOOR LATCHES, BUT NOT A POWER TRAIN ISSUE THAT COULD GET SOMEONE KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHEN THE CONTACT SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE GEAR BECAME STUCK IN REVERSE. WHEN THE GEAR WAS PLACED BACK INTO PARK, IT SEIZED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AFTER UNPLUGGING THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED TWO MONTHS AGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NTB WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED DUE TO BUSHING FAILURE. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $500. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND REMAINED AT NTB UNTIL FORD DETERMINED THE NEXT STEPS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE AND THAT NHTSA WOULD BE ABLE TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. A CASE WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY DECLINED TO PROVIDE A CASE NUMBER. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,500.

PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK SHIFTER CABLE CAME OF TRANSMISSION SAYS VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL WHILE SHIFTER IS IN PARK TRANSMISSION IS ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL HAPPENED IN DRIVEWAY

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WAS MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINE. THEN AFTER TURNING CORNER, IT SHIFTED/SLIPED, THEN NO DRIVE AT ALL. MADE IT TO SIDE STREET, WHERE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY REVERSE OR DRIVE. ALSO, NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND STILL NO LIGHTS TO INDICATE THAT SOMETHING IS CURRENTLY WRONG WITH CAR.

CAR STALLING, CUTTING OUT, MISSING A GEAR AND SHIFTING VERY HARD, WHILE DRIVING. THIS WENT ON FOR A WHILE BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE COOLANT BYPASS SOLENOID, SAID IT WAS RECALLED ON VEHICLES LIKE MINE BUT MY VIN DIDN'T SHOW A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE, YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, BUILD DATE, BUILD LOCATION WERE ALL IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. VEHICLE STILL SHIFTED VERY HARD, LIKE IT WAS MISSING A GEAR, ADVISED BY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. SPENT JUST UNDER $4,000 TO HAVE BOTH REPAIRS DONE. HAD REPAIR COMPLETED IN AUGUST 2019 AFTER DEALING WITH THE ISSUES FOR NEARLY A YEAR AND BEING TOLD THAT WAS JUST THE WAY THE CAR DROVE BECAUSE OF THE TURBO CHARGED ENGINE. NO CODES EVER POPULATED SO WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS AS IT SHOULD BE. ONLY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WOULD THEY EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT...

THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT AT ONLY 88,000 MILES WITH NO WARNING. IN OUR CASE IT WAS ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WOULD CONSIDER IT AN UNFORTUNATE INSTANCE BUT WHEN GETTING QUOTES THE REPLACEMENT IS NEAR 6000 GRAND FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A PROHIBITIVE AMOUNT FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE AND AN "AFFORDABLE" ONE AT THAT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A LARGE ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF POSTS FOUND THAT THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AROUND THE EXACT SAME TIME. THEIR FORD ESCAPES TRANSMISSION GIVES OUT AROUND 75 TO 100K MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THAT IS A VERY SHORT TIME FRAME FOR A TRANSMISSION TO COMPLETELY GIVE OUT THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE EVEN THOUGH 100S IF NOT 1000S OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE OF FAILING TRANSMISSIONS IS NOT ISOLATED TO...

MY CAR COOLANT IS ALWAYS LEAKING HAVE TO FILL OUT AND FIX MOST OF THE TIME. THE TRANSMISSION WAS SUDDENLY FAILED EVEN ONLY 80000K MILEAGE AND SERVICE CENTER FOR REPLACEMENT COST IS $6000.THAT'S REALLY RIDICULOUS.

TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AFTER ONLY 77000, 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.. FOR SEVERAL YEARS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCEL THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO, NEARLY CAUSING OTHER CARS TO REAR END ME. WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL HOW THEY RUN; OTHER VEHICLES FROM FORD HAS THIS EXACT ISSUE FROM THE EXACT SAME EQUIPMENT, ,BUT THE ESCAPE WAS NOT ADDED TO THE LAWSUIT FOR SOME REASON; THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACING OUR TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE FAILING PREMATURELY UNDER THE LEMON LAW. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS MANY FORD ESCAPES ARE ALL HAVING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN SUCH A SHORT LIFESPAN. IT IS NOW SLEEPING AND JERKING WITH THE 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. DEALERSHIP IT WILL BE GOING OUT IN AT ANYTIME AND WILL COST 7500 TO REPLACE.
