Description of the problem | 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 would trade it in and never get another ford again. Incredibly frustrating. I've had a honda accord with 200k+ miles and this never happened. Along with my toyota highlander. Ford needs to do something and recall this issue along with reimbursements because this is insane. |
