Description of the problem	posting date: july-29, 2018 (sunday) vehicle : 2014 ford escape titanium 4x4 (4-cylinder turbo engine, automatic transmission) vehicle loses transmission power. Three weeks ago i came out of a freeway and tried to make a right turn on a fast moving local road. I made the turn and pressed the accelerator but the car would not move. The engine revved up but there was no motion. I had to immediately turn on the hazard flash lights to warn approaching vehicles behind. Finally i pressed the accelerator "slowly" and the car did move and pick up speed. There were no further issues that day. I had sensed "bumpy gear shifts" and "jerky accelerations" even before the above incident. I instinctively "knew" that things were not right but did not know exactly what it was. Two days ago my wife called me at work and said that after backing out from the garage, the car was not picking up speed. The "check engine" light had also come up. She somehow limped slowly back into the garage. When i returned home, i tried it too. I found that only the "rear drive" was working. The "forward drive" hardly worked. Often while in "drive" mode, the car rolled backwards on our mildly sloped driveway! Using "the lowest gear" i somehow put it back into the garage. Yesterday i got it towed to the nearest ford dealership. Being a saturday, they could not do anything more. They said they will look into it tomorrow (monday). I consider this to be a major safety issue. I am lucky that i did not lose complete power on the freeway and nothing bad has happened so far to me or my wife. Reading about others' experiences on the internet on the same model year vehicle, it seems that they might have faced much more dangerous situations. Please investigate this problem seriously and notify the vehicle manufacturer.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
