Description of the problem	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 recall. What about the safety of the drivers? Who will hold them accountable?
