Description of the problem | 2014 ford escape 1. 6l 80,000 mi. Just like hundreds on this site and most likely thousands across the us - transmission failure while driving with no warning. Extremely dangerous and possibly deadly yet nhtsa and ford refuse to acknowledge recurring problem with a faulty transmission recall. A 5 yr old vehicle with a yearly avg of 16,000 mi. Should not require a transmission replacement at a cost of $5000 to the owner. My only hope is people use this site to research vehicle purchases and avoid making the same mistake as me and thousands of others. There are two types of ford escape - ones that have had premature transmission failure and ones that soon will. |
