2010 Ford Escape Power Train

Transmission axle was leaking 2020 and it was repaired two times that I paid for. It started leaking again a few months ago we took it in and discovered that it's a bearing or bushing which was a known issue for Ford escape and their suggesting rebuild or replace. That the leaking that we had the seal replaced couldn't stop the internal damage that it would still leak because the transmission is faulty and has a known issue with either bearings or bushings.

The transmission slips and looses power when in trafic.

WHILE DRIVING THE POWER TRAIN WILL REVE UP LIKE IT MISS A GEAR AND THEN RESUME TO NORMAL, SOMETIMES IT WILL SHIFT GEARS ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING AND HIT REAL HARD, LIKE A CLUTCH; THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN DURING DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING ON CITY STREET ONCE AT ABOUT 30MPH THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 60MPH THE SECOND TIME. I SUDDENLY LOSE SPEED AND VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THE WRENCH LIGHT ALSO COMES ON. I CAN TURN VEHICLE OFF THEN RESTART AND IT SEEMS TO BE OK. IT'S HAPPENED TWICE IN A MONTH. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR UNDER FIELD SERVICE ACTION 13NO3. FORD REFUSED TO REPAIR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET A CODE OFF MY VEHICLE INDICATING IT WAS THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. SO I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN, HAVE IT TOWED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING SO THE WRENCH LIGHT WILL STAY ON BECAUSE IT GOES OFF WHEN I RESTART IT.

POWER STEERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON COULDN'T TURN STEERING WHEEL..WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY TRYING TO TURN OR STEER

AS I'M DRIVING THE CAR WOULD JUST STOP GIVING GAS THE WRENCH LIGHT SHOWS UP AND I HAVE TO CUT THE CAR OFF TO GET ANY GAS IT SAYS IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY BUT I FIXED THAT AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING THE WRENCH POPS UP AND NO GAS PRESSURE AS I'M DRIVING, AND I WAS READING UP ON THIS IT SAYS FORD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRAIN OR SOMETHING THAT IT CAUSES THE SAME PROBLEM, SAYS IT'S OFFICIAL NOT A RECALL BUT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PROGRAMING I JUST GOT THIS CALL LAST YEAR AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

I WAS DRIVING MY SON HOME FROM SCHOOL IN MY 2010 ESCAPE, I WENT TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND AS I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GAIN SPEED, MY VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE GAS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO STALL. A WRENCH APPEARED ON THE PANEL AND SO DID THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO MY FORD DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AGAIN AND THE PURGE VALVE AGAIN. I HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED IN 2015 FOLLOWING THE RECALL AND THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED IN 2016. MY COMPLAINT IS THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY FREE THE FIRST TIME, WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY THIS TIME IF IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING?

THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED ONE RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN AND NINE TSBS FOR THE POWER TRAIN; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF A PERMANENT REMEDY AND WAS WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

OUR 2010 DORD ESCAPE'S TRANSMISSION FAILED IN OCTOBER, 2017 WITH ONLY 41590 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WILE MOVING ON CITY STREETS. REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS REQUIRED COSTING US .$4,848.22.

VEHICLE HAS A POWER TRAIN FAILURE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AT ABOUT 70 MPH THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER AND LOSE SPEED RAPIDLY. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT PERSIST IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, IF WE PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, WAIT A FEW MINUTES, AND START IT UP AGAIN, THE POWER TRAIN LIGHT IS OFF.

TRANSMISSION - CENTER SUPPORT SNAP RING FAILURE AT 47,774 MILES ON VEHICLE. WHILE PARKED ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT FROM "PARK" TO "DRIVE" VERY LOUD CLUNKING SOUND UNDER VEHICLE AT SHIFTER/CENTER CONSOLE. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED 8/2016 ALL FLUIDS TOPPED OFF AT DEALER. A FEW DAYS AGO HEARD LOUD CLUNKING SOUND - CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID "NONE" COMPLETELY EMPTY (NO LEAKING ON GROUND) FILLED TRANSMISSION FLUID - SAME SOUND - IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO DEALER. DEALER ADVISED CENTER SUPPORT SNAP RING FAILED - INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL FORD DIRECTLY REFERENCE "FORD SPECIAL SERVICE MESSAGE #22547" AS THIS IS A "KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE". CALLED FORD DIRECTLY - CASE NUMBER WAS OPENED BUT NO OFFER TO ASSIST WITH TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. DEALER QUOTED $4,500 TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION $2,600 FOR REPAIR (REPAIR IS ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 2 YEARS) REPLACEMENT IS GUARANTEED FOR 3 YEARS. THANKS FOR NOTHING FORD!

I WAS WITH MY DAUGHTER ON OUR WAY TO TAKE HER BACK TO COLLEGE. WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING WESTBOUND ON 595 (A MAJOR HWY) MY VEHICLE FELT TO HAVE SURGED AND LULLED, SURGED AND LULLED A FEW TIMES AS I ACCELERATED PULLING ON TO 595 (AN ENTRANCE WITH A SLIGHT INCLINE) I CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE TO SAFELY MERGE WITH TRAFFIC ON 595 W WITHIN MOMENTS THE LITTLE YELLOW/ORANGE "WRENCH" LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY DASH AND SUDDENLY I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY ACCELERATION. MY VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO MY APPLYING GAS AND I WATCHED THE SPEEDOMETER RAPIDLY DROP BEFORE MY EYES FROM 68 MPH TO 16 MPH AS I DID MY BEST TO CROSS OVER SEVERAL LANES IN FAST TRAFFIC TO AN EXIT FOR 95 N WHICH WAS FORTUNATELY THERE. MY VEHICLE "LIMPED" (IDENTICALLY AS OTHERS HAVE SHARED) AND I SAFELY PULLED OVER ONTO THE GRASS WHERE I WAITED THE NEXT 1.5 HOURS FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW ME HOME AT 9:00 P.M. WHILE WAITING I BEGAN TROUBLE SHOOTING MY VEHICLES ISSUE BASED ON WHAT THE MANUAL HAD STATED AND WAS TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED TO FIND ALL THE INFORMATION REGARDING THE ETC AND TO LEARN THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED ONE OF THOSE WHICH WAS EXTENDED AND WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I HAD NOT RECEIVED THE LETTER AND SO I WAS UNAWARE OF THE "RECALL THAT WASN'T..." IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN FORD'S LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. NOW I AM LEFT WITH HAVING TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HOPING THEY ADDRESS THE REAL ISSUE AT HAND AND BE ACCOUNTABLE NOW AND STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES. MY FORD HAS NEVER LEFT ME STRANDED UNTIL NOW AND SADLY SO THIS MALFUNCTION/DEFECT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD FORD FOCUSED ON CUSTOMER SAFETY AND SERVICE SATISFACTION. I'VE OWNED 2 FORDS AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DO THINGS THE AMERICAN WAY. FORD WILL NEED TO STEP IT UP AND DO THEIR PART!

THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. WHENEVER IT DOES CAR ALMOST GOES INTO A STALL OF SORTS AND AM UNABLE TO GO ABOVE 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY. I KNOW THERE WAS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS BUT NO REAL RECALL THAT ENDED JULY 2015. THE WARRANTY EXTENDED FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. CAN I STILL GET THIS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY?

RECALL HAS EXPIRED ON MY SUV DUE TO IT BEING OVER 150,000 MILES. I DIDNT NOT RECIEVE A LETTER INDICATING THAT I NEEDED THIS UPDATE DONE TO MY CAR UNTIL AUG 19 2016 WHEN MY CAR STARTED TO LOOSE POWER WITH THE WRENCH SYMBOL BEING DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE ON AUG 20 2016 AND SPOKE TO REPRESENTIVE THAT TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE DONE AND SAID THAT I HAD 10 YEARS FROM THE TIME THE CAR WAS MADE OR 150,000 MILES TO HAVE THE SERVICE COMPLETED. I DID TELL HIM THAT MY CAR WAS OVER THE 150,000 BUT HE TOLD ME THAT THE SERVICE COULD STILL BE DONE DUE TO IT BEING WITHIN THE 10 YEAR MARK AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. SO ON AUG 21 2016 I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IN GREENVILLE SC WHERE NOW I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE SERIVE CAN NOT BE DONE BECAUSE I HAVE OVER 150,000 MILES. IT WILL COST ME $101.00 TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT PLUS THE AMOUNT TO REPAIR IT NOT TO MENTION I AM OUT OF THE MONEY IT COSTED ME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THAT LOCATION. IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THE SERVICE COULD NOT BE DONE I WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN IT THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I FEEL I SHOULD GET SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION SINCE I AM OUT OF MONEY AND NEVER EVEN RECIEVED THE RECALL LETTER. OH NOR HAVE I BEEN ABLE TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE WRENCH ICON INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

SUV STALLS, NO ACCELERATION. LIGHT LOOKING LIKE A WRENCH COMES ON WHEN CAR STALLS.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY 2010 FORD ESCAPE STARTED "FLARING" BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS "FLARING" IS A TERM USED BY FORD TO DESCRIBE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DELAYS SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS AND THE ENGINE REVS UNTIL IT FINALLY SHIFTS. . THIS HAS NOT REALLY BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. IT STARTED "FLARING" OCCASIONALLY BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS ALSO. THIS IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I'M NOT UP TO SPEED WHEN THIS HAPPENS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND. WITH TRAFFIC BEING HEAVY AT TIMES, I'M CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COULD REAREND ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE DEARER ALONG WITH THE FORD REPRESENTATIVE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS SO I DOUBT THEY WILL RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM EITHER. I'M FURTHER CONCERNED THAT IT COULD START HAPPENING WITH 1ST GEAR AND I COULD START TO ENTER A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN INTENDED AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATE WHEN IT WASN'T SAFE TO DO SO.

WHILE ACCELERATING, CLUNKING NOISES HEARD IN THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN AT 80 KILOMETERS AN HOUR, SPEED WAS SUDDENLY REDUCED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 KPH.. CAUSING A SUDDEN DECELERATION ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE VEHICLE.. IT COST ME OVER $1000. TO REPLACE THE PCM.. THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY ISSUE.. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART. THE MECHANIC AT THE FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THE PROBLEM EXISTS BECAUSE THE PCM IS PLACED IN THE MAIN ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND IN A COLD AND DAMP ENVIRONMENT, FAILS REGULARLY. THEY REPLACE THESE PCM'S WEEKLY.. SO IT IS NOT JUST A PROBLEM FOR ME, IT IS A MONEY MAKER FOR FORD. THIS NEEDS TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A RECALL ISSUE AND REPAIRED..

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES TOTAL LOSS OF POWER IN A RANDOM PATTERN, 2-5 TIMES A WEEK UNDER VARIOUS CONDITIONS INCLUDING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CLIMBING SLIGHT INCLINES, OVER BUMPS..ETC. RECOVER CAN TAKE A MINUTE TO HOURS. BASICALLY YOU CAN BE ON THE FREEWAY AND LOOSE ENGINE POWER FOR FORWARD MOTION, WHICH IS DANGEROUS. ALL FORD RECOMMENDED SOFTWARE AND THROTTLE BODY CHANGES HAVE BEEN INSTITUTED. DEALERS DON'T SEEM TO BE CAPABLE OR INTERESTED TO RESOLVE ISSUE

WHILE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR JOLTED AND THE ENGINE PROVIDED NO POWER THE THE WHEELS AND THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME THE CAR JOLTED AGAIN AND POWER WAS RESTORED TO THE WHEELS. WHEN CAR FINALLY STOPPED AND TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN REVERSE WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER TAKING THE CAR IN TO A FORD SERVICE STATION, THE TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO BE STUCK IN FIFTH GEAR AND CHUNKS OF THE TRANSMISSION WERE FOUND INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WHICH RESULTED IN THE NEED FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION..
