Description of the problem | Cause of failure is believed to be transmission failure (mileage 96,649). Customer was driving the vehicle (city street; approximately 35mph) and then suddenly the engine started revving (similar to the car being in neutral) and the vehicle speed started to slow down (due to the transmission not providing forward momentum). The vehicle was pulled over to a side street so it could be parked and safely removed from vehicle traffic. The vehicle is being assessed by the dealer we purchased it from (ganley chrysler dodge jeep ram, 310 broadway ave, bedford, oh 44146). I have read that other owners of 2014 ford escapes have had similar problems and concerns with their transmissions. I would like to know if ford is going to issue a recall regarding this transmission. |
