Description of the problem | I was driving down the road and an "info" light came on saying "transmission fault - service transmission now". Then check engine light came on. Took car to a transmission repair company and they said it's a torque converter issue and i need a whole new transmission for $4,500!!!! This car isn't that old and i'm seeing this is a very common issue with 2014 ford escapes. In motion on city street. |
