2013 Ford Escape Power Train

I NOTICED THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT ON I ADDED COOLANT AND IT LEAKED OUT NOT A WEEK LATER I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT! IM SO CONFUSED AND ANNOYED AT THE SAME TIME WHAT CAN I DO!!!!

2013 FORD ESCAPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO MALFUNCTION WITH VEHICLES TRANSMISSION. *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS ADVISED THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. *JS

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A STOP LIGHT ON A TWO LANE ROAD.

PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF. VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS INTO A TREE DAMAGING THE LIFTGATE, REAR BUMPER AND EXHAUST COMPONENTS. THE FORD RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE COVERED FORD ESCAPE 2013 MODELS MANUFACTURED IN THEIR LOUISVILLE, KY PLANT BETWEEN MAY 2013 AND SEPTEMBER 2013. MY FORD ESCAPE WAS BUILT IN APRIL 2013. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT CHANGED IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS BETWEEN APRIL AND MAY THAT WOULD EXCLUDE MY VEHICLE FROM THE RECALL.

ENTERING THE HIGHWAY I SPEED UP TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. I GET TO ABOUT 45 MPH AND LOOSE ACCELERATION POWER. WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING BUT HAVING NO ACCELERATION A STRONG THUD HAPPENED. SEEMED LIKE THE GEARS FINALLY CAUGHT...BUT STILL NO ACCELERATION AND THEN THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY REVVED TO ALMOST 8000 RPM...AND STILL NO ACCELERATION. I MANAGED TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED IT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES (ONE TIME IT ALSO STALLED COMPLETELY). EACH TIME THERE IS NOTHING THAT THE DEALER CAN TELL ME. IT SEEMS TO "REMEDY" ITSELF AFTER EACH PAID SCAN. THE VEHICLE SCAN DOESN'T SHOW ANYTHING. I'M VERY TIRED OF PAYING FOR SCANS THAT SHOW NOTHING. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY OWN CAR.

131,000 MILES TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AND AS OF 7/15/2018 TRANSMISSION IS GONE THIS SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THE 1.6 LITER ENGINE I HAD TAKEN IT IN WHEN IT STARTED TO SLIP AND FORD DEALER SHIP STARTED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT UNTIL WARRANTY WAS UP AND TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY OUT NOW I'M STUCK WITH A LOAN AND A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THEY CHANGED THE MOTOR AND TRANNY 3 TIMES IN 2013 VERY DISSATISFIED SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK INTO ANY OTHER GEAR, WHICH LEFT THE CONTACT STRANDED FOR HOURS. A LOANER VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED BY MCGRATH FORD (4001 1ST AVE SE, CEDAR RAPIDS, IA 52402, (319) 366-4000, 319-364-0181) AS OF AUGUST 27, 2018. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

POP-UP MESSAGES ON CONSOLE: "TRANSMISSION FAULT. SERVICE NOW. REDUCING POWER TO REDUCE ENGINE TEMPERATURE." ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NOT A PERCEPTIBLE DIFFERENCE IN DRIVING, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. RESULTS FROM DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR: "IT APPEARS THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS SLIPPING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, THE TRANS OVER TEMP LIGHT IS COMING ON AS A RESULT OF THE CONVERTER SLIPPING, SO ULTIMATELY IT WILL NEED THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. I KNOW YOU ARE JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AND THE REPAIR IS QUITE UNEXPECTED AND COSTLY. FORD HAS REPLIED BACK AND STATED THEY WILL ASSIST $1,569.12, WHICH WOULD LEAVE YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR $1,000.00 TOWARD THE REPAIR."

I BOUGHT THE CAR 09/03/13. ON 05/26/16, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK & ON A PARKWAY AS I WAS ACCELERATING TO 45 MPH, THE ENGINE REVVED TO APPROXIMATELY 6500 RPMS WITHOUT ENGAGING THE GEAR, THEN SHIFTED. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, I STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A THREE-LANE ROAD (40 MPH SPEED LIMIT). WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE ENGINE REVVED BUT DID NOT ENGAGE; I SLID BACKWARD. I BRAKED TO STOP FROM HITTING THE CAR BEHIND, LET THEM PASS, THEN TURNED OFF THE CAR, AS I SMELLED BURNING. I TURNED THE CAR ON & PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL EVENTUALLY IT ENGAGED IN FIRST GEAR & WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THERE WAS A LEAK FOUND TO BE DUE TO TSB 3B16-0043. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE DISASSEMBLED, CLEANED, AND REBUILT DUE TO HIGH AMOUNTS OF DEBRIS. EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CAR WOULD STILL SHUDDER INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE & WENT TO ACCELERATE. ON 02/12/18, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN WHILE I WAS IN MOTION AT APPROX. 25 MPH IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC. I PUSHED THE GAS, THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T RESPOND; THE ENGINE JUST REVVED. I WAS STILL IN MOTION, SLOWED DOWN, THEN PUSHED THE GAS AGAIN & IT SHUDDERED THEN SHIFTED. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY & PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I TESTED IT BY TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD; THE CAR SLID BACKWARDS. I DIDN'T PUSH THE PEDAL ENOUGH TO ENGAGE FIRST GEAR AS I DIDN'T WANT TO CAUSE DAMAGE. I WAS AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED A TEARDOWN, CLEANING, & REBUILD DUE TO DEBRIS. BASED ON BOTH TICKETS, I BELIEVED THE CENTER SUPPORT IS A DEFECTIVE PART; I LEARNED TODAY THERE IS A NEW RECALL, 18V471000, FOR A BUSHING THAT ATTACHES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE TO THE TRANSMISSION. UNKNOWN IF THIS IS THE CAUSE. CAR IS AGAIN SHUDDERING WHEN SHIFT R TO D THEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHEN THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER CABLE WAS FRACTURED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.

WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE, WHEN SETTING IN TRAFFIC SOME TIME THE CAR IT JUMP FORWARD INSTEAD OF STOPPING IT FEEL LIKE SOME BODY HIT YOU FROM THE BACK. LAST WEEK I FELT A STRONGER JUMP WHEN I WAS IN TRAFFIC. THE FOLLOWING DAY WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR DID NOT MOVE BUT WHEN I HIT THE GAS LIGHT IT CLICK AND MOVED. IS THIS THE SAME PROBLEM FOR THE LAST RECALL

THE VEHICLE IS A 2013 WITH LESS THAN 48K MILES ON IT. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP ON A HILL AND WITH A HESITATION THEN A SLIGHT JERK WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THAT HAPPENED OFF AND ON ONE DAY THEN CLEARED UP FOR ABOUT A MONTH. WHEN IT STARTED AGAIN IT WOULD ALSO HAVE SLUGGISH ACCELERATION LIKE IT HAD A SHIFTED INTO A GEAR THAT WAS TOO HIGH, OR WOULD WIND UP LIKE IT HAD SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. AGAIN, IT WAS INTERMITTENT LIKE IT WAS A LOOSE WIRE OR BAD CIRCUIT. THEN IT STARTED INTERMITTENTLY MAKING A KIND OF A GRINDING NOISE AND SHORTLY AFTER THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS TOAST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, BUT REMAINED IN DRIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED THAT THE GEAR WAS IN PARK. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO READJUSTED THE BUSHING CABLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT CALLED LINDSAY FORD AT 888-457-7005 (LOCATED AT 11250 VEIRS MILL RD, WHEATON, MD 20902) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V471000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE TWO DAYS LATER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE AND THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 96,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

EVERY TIME WE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE ESCAPE STALLS AND YOU NEED TO RE-START THE CAR. I'VE BROUGHT TO A DEALER AND THEY THINK ITS THE TORQUE CONVERTORS WHICH IS INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. SOME ESCAPES WITH THIS SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALREADY BUT WHEN I CHECKED WITH MY DEALER THEY SAID MY HAS NOT. THEY ESTIMATED THE COST OF THE FIX AT $4000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, IT INADVERTENTLY ROLLED AWAY. THE CONTACT GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE, BUT WAS DRAGGED BY THE VEHICLE DOWN THE STREET UNTIL IT STOPPED AT AN INCLINE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MULTIPLE BRUISES ON HER STOMACH AND INJURIES TO THE WRIST, HUMERUS, AND GREAT TOE, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (COUNTY FORD, 105 AUTO PARK DRIVE, GRAHAM, NC 27253, 336-226-6301), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OPENED CASE NUMBERS: [XXX] AND [XXX]. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000. *TT INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OURS IS A 2013 FORD ESCAPE WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT'S HARDLY BEEN DRIVEN FOR A SIX YEAR OLD CAR AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATION.UPON STARTING THE CAR IN THE DRIVE MODE, THERE WAS A PRONOUNCED "CLUNK" SOUND FROM BELOW THE CABIN SECTION OF THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD BEGIN MOVING FORWARD AND THEN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THIS SITUATION CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 1/10 OF A MILE. WHILE TURNING AROUND TO RETURN HOME, THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE REVERSE MODE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER AS IT APPEARED TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON A HIGHWAY. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE. COST TO REPAIR $4,300.00. SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE HAS TO BE A BASIC DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT HAVING READ SO MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. ADDITIONALLY AND IN RETROSPECT, THE ENGINE WOULD BEGIN RACING TO A HIGH RPM IN THE PARK MODE WITHOUT A FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS WAS A DISTURBING PHENOMENON.

PURCHASED NEW IN 2013 - 43,000 MILES CURRENTLY. FOUR EPISODES OF A JERKING MOTION BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 0 TO 45 IN 5 YEARS. I PURCHASED 5 YR AND 100,000 MILE WARRENTY. THE TIME RAN OUT 2 MONTHS AGO. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS A S FEATURE AND AS IT WOULD STOP THE JERKING WHEN IT WAS CUT OFF AND RESTARTED IT SEEMED TO BE A COMPUTER PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED ABOUT ONCE A YEAR AND ALWAYS "RESET" WHEN TURNED OFF. I WONDERED IF THERE WAS A SILENT RECALL OR OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS EXPERIENCE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IT IS RANDOM....LEAVING A STOP, OPEN ROAD STOP AND GO. I ACTUALLY CALLED FORD THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND THEY WERE SENDING A TOW TRUCK. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT AND I THOUGHT TO TURN IT AROUND IN THE DRIVEWAY SO IT WOULD GO ON THE TRUCK FORWARD. DROVE DOWN STREET TO TURN AROUND AND NOTHING....CANCELLED THE TOW. NOTHING LIKE IT FOR ANOTHER YEAR??? I FEEL THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE "S" (SPORT SHIFT) FEATURE. I HAVE NEVER USED THIS FEATURE AT ALL...AT AGE 75, I AM OVER THAT. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICE TWICE A YEAR SINCE PURCHASE. THE MANUAL SAYS CHANGE TRANSMISSION FLUID AT 150,000 MILES. THE SUDDEN AND VIOLENT JERKING WHILE IN TRAFFIC IS TERRIFYING TO SAY THE LEAST AND ALTHOUGH THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN ACCIDENT, I AM CERTAINLY NERVOUS ABOUT THE FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE.

I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND MY VEHICLE STALLED AND SUDDENLY DIED WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, IT WOULD WORK NORMALLY, AND DO THIS SPORADICALLY. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 85,000 MILES.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND DISPLAY "ENGINE MALFUNCTION". IT WOULD SPUTTER BUT NOT STALL. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING RETURNED THE SUV TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER, ON FEB 16, THE SUV DID NOT RESET AND THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY, BEFORE WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. NONETHELESS, THE MECHANIC SCANNED THE SUV AND CODES P2101 AND P2111 APPEARED. BOTH CODES REFER TO THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY AND IT BEING STUCK OPEN. FORD HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ETB AND THERE IS THEIR "CONSUMER SATISFACTION SERVICE #13N03 THAT ADDRESSES THE ETB FLAW. NOW FOR THE FUN PART: OUR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE #13N03 "SERVICE" THOUGH IT IS A VEHICLE THAT FITS WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE "SERVICE" AND OBVIOUSLY DISPLAYS THE EBT PROBLEM. INSTEAD OF HAVING THE NHTSA MANDATE A RECALL, FORD WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE THEIR CONSUMER SATISFACTION SERVICE...WHICH MEANS THEY DETERMINE WHICH ETB TO REPLACE FOR FREE AND WHICH ONES WE HAVE TO PAY. FOX IN CHARGE OF THE HEN HOUSE. HOW CAN I GET MY VIN INCLUDED IN THIS "SERVICE" PROGRAM? THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS WHEN IT LOSES POWER. WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE IN EVERY INCIDENT TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AMONG HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. (TWICE PASSING A SEMI!)

PARK TO REVERSE: VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SELF ENGAGED FROM PARK TO REVERSE. MECHANICAL DEFECT, AS A RESULT, THE SHIFT CONTROL LEVER COULD DISENGAGE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT WARNING. ON WED. 12/20/17 AT 3:10 P.M. ' I WAS LEAVING WORK I ENTERED MY 2013 FORD ESCAPE & STARTED THE VEHICLE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. NOTICED MY FRONT AND BACK WINDOWS WERE COVERED WITH SNOW. ENGAGED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER ON FRONT WINDOW, & REALIZED THAT THE SNOW WAS ACTUALLY FROZEN ICE THAT NEEDED TO BE SCRAPED. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK POSITION, LET UP ON THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. SCRAPER IN HAND, GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO SCRAPE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. WHEN EXITING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN PARK POSITION/MOTIONLESS. THE VEHICLE WAS MOTIONLESS FROM THE TIME I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO THE TIME I MOVED TO SIDE OF CAR ON DRIVER SIDE, TO SCRAPE THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WITH SCRAPER. I STARTED TO SCRAPE MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. AFTER 3-4 SCRAPES ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTING TO MOVE IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION WHICH WAS AWAY FROM WHERE I WAS STANDING. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR & GET INTO VEHICLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE, HOWEVER, THE DOOR MOMENTUM KNOCKED ME TO THE GROUND & I WAS DRAGGED BY THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION. I WAS LOOKING AT THE FRONT WHEEL AS I WAS BEING DRAGGED UNTIL THE CAR TURNED ENOUGH TO RELEASE ME FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHEN ITS BACK BUMPER HIT THE VEHICLE FRONT BUMPER BEHIND IT. THE WAS IDLING, AND THE VEHICLE WAS MOTIONLESS WHEN I GOT TO IT, IT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE DRIVING IN REVERSE BUT WAS STATIONARY IDLING AS IF IT WAS IN PARK POSITION AGAIN.
