2016 Ford Escape

MY 2016 FORD ESCAPE HAD A TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, APPROX. GOING 45 TO 50 MPH. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT OF GEAR AND LOST POWER. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD STALL AND THEN SUDDENLY GO INTO GEAR WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING MY ESCAPE TO JERK FORWARD. I PARKED MY ESCAPE AND HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS "BURNED UP" AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I HAD A REBUILT TRANSMISSION IN MY ESCAPE, COSTING ME $3,700 IN REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK THE RPMS REVVED UP. THE TRANSMISSION FAULT WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT, PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 84,400.*DT*JB

2016 FORD ESCAPE DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. I WAS BACKING UP OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE LIGHT ALERTED ME THAT THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED, I GOT OUT AND CLOSED IT AGAIN BUT IT WILL NOT STAYED CLOSED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION THE LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGE. MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL OF 2013-2015 FORD ESCAPES WITH THE SAME LATCH DEFECT.

HERE I SIT WITH A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH LESS THAN 72,000 MILES GETTING IT'S TRANSMISSION REBUILD!!! AFTER SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET?? THIS IS VERY SORRY ON FORDS END. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS TRANSMISSION. IT GAVE ME VERY LITTLE WARNING. MADE A NOISE, LESS THAN HALF A MILE JUMPED TO 5,000 RPMS THEN THAT WAS IT... DEAD ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS TO GET PARTS FOR THIS TRANSMISSION #1 DUE TO THE AGE #2 DUE TO THE VIRUS. FIX THIS ISSUE FORD!!!!

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AND JERKS IN TRAFFIC AND LOSSES POWER. NO TO LITTLE MOVEMENT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. ALSO YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE THAT IS A NON FACTOR AND YOU ARE IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING! MY CAR NEVER GAVE ME ANY SIGNS OF A BAD TRANSMISSION UNTIL OUT THE BLUE ONE DAY AND A TRANSMISSION VAULT LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH! MY FAMILY AND I WAS VISITING MY SON AT HIS COLLEGE TOWN OF BEVERCREEK OHIO WERE HE ATTENDED WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY AND THIS HAPPENED ON THE WEEKEND. I WAITED UNTIL THE WEEKDAY TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FORD GAVE ME A CASE #CAS27510020. MY SON DROPPED IT OFF AND MADE THE APPOINTMENT AND RENTED A CAR AND DROVE BACK TO CHICAGO. THE CAR IS AT GERMAINE FORD AND THEY CALLED HIM BACK AND SAID $4 THOUSAND OVERHAUL OR $8 THOUSAND FOR REPLACEMENT AND I STILL OWE A YEAR OR 2 YEARS WORTH OF PAYMENTS TOTALLY UNFAIR. A CAR SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 85,000 MILES OFF HIGHWAY AND NORMAL DRIVING! P.S FORD HAS BEEN SUED FOR THERE POWER SHIFT TRANSMISSION FOR BAD TORQUE CONVERTERS , WHO'S TO SAY THEY ARE NOT USING THOSE SAME TORQUE CONVETERS IN THEIR 6SPEED AUTOMATIC SELECT SHIFT TRANSMISSIONS.

2016 FORD ESCAPE WITH LESS THAN 80 THOUSAND MILES WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE RANDOMLY ONE DAY. ENGINE WOULD REV. DEALERSHIP STATED THERE WAS METAL IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME THE CAUSE AND THAT IT WOULD COST 7 THOUSAND DOLLARS. FORD DOES NOT RECOMMEND TRANSMISSION SERVICE UNTIL 150 THOUSAND MILES AND THEIR WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 60 THOUSAND MILES BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE A CAR PAYMENT AND NO CAR. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THEIR SHOTTY PRODUCT.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH NO WARNING. DRIVING HOME ONE DAY, GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR HAD A DELAY IN ACCELERATING AND WOULD THEN SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD. TRIED TO MAKE IT HOME WITH THE CAR, EVENTUALLY A "TRANSMISSION FAULT" MESSAGE CAME UP. NOW CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, ONLY 4 YEARS OLD AND I CAN'T USE IT TO WORK OR ANYTHING, WE BARELY GOT HOME. I'VE READ THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WHO AND WHAT IS BEING DONE TO RESOLVE OR TO MANDATE A RECALL?
