2016 Ford Escape

CAR GOT STUCK IN REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO PUT INTO PARK IN A PARKING LOT. FOUND OUT THE BUSHING ON THE SHIFTER CABLE WENT BAD. WITH FURTHER RESEARCH UP TO 2014'S ARE ALREADY BEING RECALLED. I FOUND THAT YOU CAN ONLY BUY THE FULL CABLE KIT AND NOT JUST THE BUSHING. SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS PRETTY DANGEROUS NOT TO BE ABLE TO PUT YOUR CARS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT ONLY 90K MILES FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS BUILT IN 2016 IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY! THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES IT STRUGGLES TO MOVE UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP WHEN IT JOLTED REALLY HARD. IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM THE BACK. AFTER THAT JOLT THE CAR WAS MAKING SOME GRINDING NOISES. WE BARELY MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT AS THE CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO MOVE IN A BUSY STREET.

CAR BECAME STUCK IN PARK DUE TO A FAILURE OF A RUBBER BUSHING THAT SECURES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS OCCURRED TO WHEN I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY, I STOPPED TO CLOSE THE DRIVEWAY GATE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO DRIVE. CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK, TOW TRUCK FEE, FORD DIAGNOSTIC FEE WAS OVER $300 DOLLARS FOR A $7 DOLLAR RUBBER BUSHING. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO THE POTENTIAL ROLL AWAY IF THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL IN GEAR WHEN BUSHING FAILS.

MY ESCAPE HAS EXACTLY 88,000 MILES IN IT . I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING. I WAS DRIVING 50 MPH AND THEN IT DROPPED TO 10MPH JERKING ME HARD. THEN IT REVED UP ON ITS OWN AND STARTED GOING LIKE 60 MPH. I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT WAS GOING IN REVERSE THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG I CANNOT BELIEVE I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSED ONE. THE JERKING OF THE CAR WAS SO HARD I WAS AFRAID THE AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY. MY THREE YEAR OLD FORD IS RECEIVING A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT IS NOT COVERED.

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO PICK CHILD UP FROM DAYCARE AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN WHEN GIVING GAS. IT FELT AS IF IT WOULDN'T SHIFT. I TOOK IT TO CAR DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND AS ONLY 60,000 MILES IF THAT AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME MY TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND IT WILL COST ME $9,500 TO $6,000 I FIND IT FUNNY THAT THEY CALLED A RECALL ON FOCUS FROM THAT YEAR ON ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND NOW MINE IS OUT AND SOME HOW IT IS MY FAULT. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOW THERE WAS ONGING PROBLEM I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY THAT WHY I BOUGHT NEW THOUGHT I WOULD BE GETTING DEPENDABLE CARE FOR ME DRIVE MY CHILD AROUND IN. THIS HAPPEN IN TOLEDO, OHIO WHILE DRIVING I HAD TO HAVE CARE TOWED TO CAR LOT WHERE IS CURRENTLY SITTING BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX SOMETHING THAT FORD KNOWS IT HAS ISSUE WITH. I DON'T HAVE PROBLEM WITH PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS MY FAULT BUT THIS IS NOT IT ESPECIALLY SINCE I KEEP SEEING AND HEARING THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING ISSUE WITH FORD ESCAPES AND OTHER FORD PRODUCTS.
