Description of the problem | I purchased my 2014 ford escape in april 2017. I also purchased the ford protect 75000 mile extended warranty. From time to time i would notice a hard shift or slip. I was getting close to my warranties end and brang the vechile in to the dealership from which it i had purchased it from. They said they updated the pcu (which after researching is fords recommended fix). Couple weeks past and its still doing the same thing. Warranties over not my problem is what im told. Both from the dealership and ford. I have a recall from ford do to shifter cable bushings being faultly. Were your car could roll away due to being in the wrong gear. But the kicker is they have not yet provided a part and you can get it fixed and be reimbursed or always use your parking brake. Which im sure is great for hot rotors and breakpads. And this is not the only problem i have. My vechile now has quite a few issues. Which include stalling when backing up shifter stuck in park (finally when it does release slams into reverse) randomly draining battery because car is in power saving mode not starting because if hill assist mode? Backup cam intermittently not working touchscreen displaynot working or black. All these problems seem to be common among 2014 escape owners when reading online forums for both owners and mechanics. Yet ford states that even with the recalled issue. No consumer complaints or injuries have been filed. I will be document every occurrence from this day forward. |
