MY 2008 FORD ESCAPE HAD EXPERIENCED MAJOR TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. THERE APPEAR TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT FAULTY TRANSMISSION OIL COOLERS FOR 2008 ESCAPES. I UNDERSTAND THAT A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED BY FORD TO ITS SERVICE TECHNICIANS; HOWEVER, THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM THAT CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. IN MY CASE, THE COOLER DEVELOPED A LEAK SHORTLY AFTER 37,800 MILES OF USE. THE LEAK CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION OIL TO DROP BELOW AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I NOTICED THE SLIP WHEN ENTERING ONTO A HIGHWAY (US RT 22). THE SLIP CAUSED A MAJOR DELAY IN THE ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST RESULTED IN MAJOR ACCIDENT. I HAD MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED. ALTHOUGH THE PART APPEARS TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TRANSMISSION IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S 5YR/50,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. INSTEAD, THE PART IS COVERED UNDER THE VEHICLES GENERAL 3YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE COST OF MY REPAIR WAS $930. FORD APPEARS TO BE AWARE OF THIS COMMON OCCURRENCE AS EVIDENCED BY THE TSB BUT THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL. ALTHOUGH A CRASH AND/OR DEATH WERE NOT MY END RESULT, IT EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE AND ENSURE THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 FORD ESCAPE, ON CHRISTMAS EVE, IT BEGAN RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH WITH BANGING, CLANKING AND GRINDING NOISES, BUCKING, AND JUMPING, WITH AN APPARENT ODOR OF GEAR FLUID ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE., AND THE ON DASH BOARD COMPUTER SYSTEM DIDN'T REPORT ANY PROBLEMS, WHEN CHECKED. WE DROVE IT HOME AND THEN TO A TRANSMISSION REPAIR PLACE, WHERE THEY TOOK THE TRANSMISSION APART . THE TRANSFER CASE WAS FILLED WITH METAL SHAVINGS AND THE GEARS WERE COMPLETELY STRIPPED. THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BAD AND ALSO HAS TO BE REPLACED. WE WERE INFORMED THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR THE ESCAPE TO BE DRIVEN ANY LONGER IN THIS CONDITION, AND PARTS WERE ACTUALLY BANGING INTO ONE ANOTHER AND COULD HAVE FALLEN ONTO THE GROUND. WE ARE HAVING THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED, AND A USED TRANSFER CASE IN GOOD CONDITION IS BEING INSTALLED IN IT. THIS VEHICLE IS CALLED AN ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE, BUT THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM HAS NEVER BEEN ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING, AND HAS JUST 51,287 MILES ON IT. *TR

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will update the HPCM software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 22, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S33.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A damaged or missing bushing may prevent the vehicle from shifting into the intended gear, and cause the vehicle to move in an unexpected direction. Additionally, the vehicle may roll after the driver selects the 'Park' position. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash or injury.

The bushing that attaches the transmission shifter cable to the transmission may degrade over time and cause the bushing to detach from the transmission. The condition could allow the driver to move the shift lever to Park and remove the ignition key, while the transmission may not be in Park, with no warning message or audible chime.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the vehicle is exited without the transmission being in Park and without the parking brake being applied, the vehicle may unexpectedly move, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shifter cable bushing, free of charge. The recall began September 20, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2001-2008 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner vehicles manufactured March 31, 2001, to September 1, 2009. The affected vehicles are equipped with either a 2.3L or 3.0L engine and have had their CD4E transmission replaced with remanufactured one that was rebuilt between June 11, 2015 through July 15, 2015. These service repair part transmissions have a shift lever bolt that may not be properly tightened. As a result, the shift control lever could disengage from the transmission without warning.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the shift lever disengages from the transmission, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the gear selection indicator may show that the transmission is in the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not actually be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmissions and either tighten the manual shift lever bolt or replace the manual shift lever assembly. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2015. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 15S28.
