2014 Ford Escape Power Train

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AND PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER POWERED OFF THE ENGINE, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED DOWN THE ROAD. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME AT 10 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TOWED TO HARDY FAMILY FORD (1255 MARIETTA HWY, GALLS, GA 30157, (770) 445-8891) WHERE THE MECHANIC DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT AND STATED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,000.

THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2014 CAR WITH 77,000 MILES NEEDS TO BE REPLACED PER MY FORD DEALER. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO COAST TO A NEARBY EXIT WITHOUT HARMING MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE. THE DEALER SAID THAT MY TORQUE CONVERTER 'GRENADED' AND THEN BLADE PIECES BLEW THROUGH THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I ASKED IF THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A 5 YEAR OLD CAR TO NEED ITS TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT FORD SAID 'HONESTLY...NO, BUT IT IS SOMETHING WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE' I THEN SAID 'YOU MEAN WITH ESCAPES?' AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID 'YES'. HE SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION TECH HAS REBUILT SEVERAL TRANSMISSIONS IN THE ESCAPE THAT WERE EVEN STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM YET THE COMPANY HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. WHAT ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS? WHO WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE?

THE VEHICLE HAS 109K MILES ON IT AND IS CONSUMING TOO MUCH COOLANT. IT HAS UNDERGONE PRESSURE TESTING AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS OR CRACKS IN THE RADIATOR. THE ONLY SOLUTION THE MECHANICS CAN THINK OF IS THAT THIS MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2013 MODELS WITH COOLANT CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE ENGINE COOLANT LOW APPEARS ON THE DASH. WHEN IT APPEARS THE COOLANT IS IN FACT LOW AND EACH OF THE THREE TIMES IT HAS BEEN REFILLED. IT CAN USUALLY GO ANOTHER 1,000 MILES AND THEN COOLANT HAS DISAPPEARED AGAIN.

I WAS TOLD IN APRIL OF 2018 BY MY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW TRANSFER CASE. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH, I LEARNED THAT THE ESCAPE HAS HAD TRANSFER CASE ISSUES FROM THE MODEL YEAR 2002 UNTIL 2014 YET FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. I HAVE EMAILED AND POSTAL MAILED THE CEO OF FORD WITH NO RESPONSE. I DO NOT KNOW HOW A COMPANY CAN LET SOMETHING AS SIGNIFICANT AS THIS REPAIR GO ON FOR TWELVE YEARS AND NOT RECALL THE VEHICLE? EVENTUALLY THIS WILL BE A $3000 REPAIR ON A FOUR YEAR OLD VEHICLE. THAT IS MONEY I DO NOT HAVE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO MAKE A WHINING NOISE WHEN DRIVING ON ANY TERRAIN AT ANY SPEED.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, I WENT TO DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND MY CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AFTER PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS. THE RPMS DIDN'T GO UP AND THE CAR JUST SAT THERE WITH NO WARNING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK TO SWITCH GEARS BACK TO DRIVE AGAIN TO TRY AND GO AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND THEN THE RPMS WENT UP AND STALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES AS I TRIED TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT PARKING LOT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A SYSTEM GLITCH SIMILAR TO A RECENT RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES I TRIED AGAIN TO DRIVE IT AND THE CAR STARTED UP OKAY STILL WITH NO WARNING SIGNALS REGISTERING. DRIVING AFTER LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES THE CAR WOULDN'T CONTINUE DRIVING WHILE IN FORWARD MOTION AS I WAS PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS DOWN THE STREET. I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS OF BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE AS THE CAR STARTED TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, SO I PROCEEDED TO TURN ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRY TO MAKE IT TO THE NEXT PARKING LOT AGAIN AS IT WAS SLOWLY STARTING AND STOPPING WHILE IN DRIVE JERKING FORWARD. THE CAR MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER LIGHT AND THEN STARTED TO STALL AGAIN SO I TRIED TO CONTINUE TO FIND MY WAY TO THE PARKING LOT IN THE MALL AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE SIGNAL FOR TRANSMISSION WARNING APPEARED NOW AND I TRIED TO CONTINUE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE BARELY BUT WAS ABLE TO PARK TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I KNEW IT WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO TRY AND CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING AND ROLLED BACKWARDS TOWARDS A BUSY INTERSECTION. THERE WAS NO CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO SANDS FORD OF POTTSVILLE (1456 ROUTE 61 S, POTTSVILLE, PA 17901, (570) 622-1991) AT THE SUGGESTION OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SINCE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED, THE DEALER COULD NOT HELP WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,232.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION HAD TO TURN THE IGNITION FROM START TO OFF SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE STARTED. ONCE THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TOM WOOD FORD (3130 96TH STREET, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, 888-714-6941) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000. *TT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE ONCE AGAIN ON 10/6/19. *TR

TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE DIES AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND FORD HAS NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL. MY DAUGHTER ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILING. IT IS REPREHENSIBLE THAT FORD IS ALLOWING THIS TO GO WITHOUT A RECALL. THEY ARE PUTTING PEOPLES LIFE AT RISK DUE TO GREED

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I ASSUMED IT WAS GAS BECAUSE MY TANK WAS LOW. I PUT GAVE IN MY CAR AND MY CAR DID NOT START UNTIL 2 TRIES. WHEN IT CAME ON THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED MAKEING A VERY LOUD WEIRD NOISE. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR TWICE AND THIS HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME TWICE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT MOVED FORWARD TWO INCHES AND BACK TWO INCHES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,170.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WAS MAKING A HIGH PITCHED WHINE. THEN AFTER TURNING CORNER, IT SHIFTED/SLIPED, THEN NO DRIVE AT ALL. MADE IT TO SIDE STREET, WHERE CAR DID NOT HAVE ANY REVERSE OR DRIVE. ALSO, NO WARNING LIGHTS, AND STILL NO LIGHTS TO INDICATE THAT SOMETHING IS CURRENTLY WRONG WITH CAR.

CAR STALLING, CUTTING OUT, MISSING A GEAR AND SHIFTING VERY HARD, WHILE DRIVING. THIS WENT ON FOR A WHILE BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE COOLANT BYPASS SOLENOID, SAID IT WAS RECALLED ON VEHICLES LIKE MINE BUT MY VIN DIDN'T SHOW A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE, YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, BUILD DATE, BUILD LOCATION WERE ALL IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL. VEHICLE STILL SHIFTED VERY HARD, LIKE IT WAS MISSING A GEAR, ADVISED BY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. SPENT JUST UNDER $4,000 TO HAVE BOTH REPAIRS DONE. HAD REPAIR COMPLETED IN AUGUST 2019 AFTER DEALING WITH THE ISSUES FOR NEARLY A YEAR AND BEING TOLD THAT WAS JUST THE WAY THE CAR DROVE BECAUSE OF THE TURBO CHARGED ENGINE. NO CODES EVER POPULATED SO WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS AS IT SHOULD BE. ONLY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WOULD THEY EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND EVEN THEN TRIED TO SAY IT WAS JUST THE SOLENOID AS NO CODES WERE COMING UP FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS! I'VE BEEN TOLD FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HAS THE CODE CLEARED OUT WITH THEIR SOFTWARE SO IT NEVER SHOWS WHEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE. NOT SURE IF THAT'S TRUE OR NOT BUT STILL FRUSTRATING TO HAVE SO MANY ISSUES WITH A CAR THAT'S NOT THAT OLD.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT AT ONLY 88,000 MILES WITH NO WARNING. IN OUR CASE IT WAS ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I WOULD CONSIDER IT AN UNFORTUNATE INSTANCE BUT WHEN GETTING QUOTES THE REPLACEMENT IS NEAR 6000 GRAND FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A PROHIBITIVE AMOUNT FOR A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE AND AN "AFFORDABLE" ONE AT THAT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A LARGE ISSUE WITH HUNDREDS OF POSTS FOUND THAT THEY HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AROUND THE EXACT SAME TIME. THEIR FORD ESCAPES TRANSMISSION GIVES OUT AROUND 75 TO 100K MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THAT IS A VERY SHORT TIME FRAME FOR A TRANSMISSION TO COMPLETELY GIVE OUT THAT FORD IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE EVEN THOUGH 100S IF NOT 1000S OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE OF FAILING TRANSMISSIONS IS NOT ISOLATED TO A FEW INSTANCES, AND IN A MAJORITY OF CASES FAILS JUST AFTER (WITHIN 10 -20K MILES ) THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY EXPIRES AND SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN.

TRANSMISSION GOING OUT AFTER ONLY 77000, 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.. FOR SEVERAL YEARS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCEL THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO, NEARLY CAUSING OTHER CARS TO REAR END ME. WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL HOW THEY RUN; OTHER VEHICLES FROM FORD HAS THIS EXACT ISSUE FROM THE EXACT SAME EQUIPMENT, ,BUT THE ESCAPE WAS NOT ADDED TO THE LAWSUIT FOR SOME REASON; THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACING OUR TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE FAILING PREMATURELY UNDER THE LEMON LAW. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS MANY FORD ESCAPES ARE ALL HAVING FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN SUCH A SHORT LIFESPAN. IT IS NOW SLEEPING AND JERKING WITH THE 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. DEALERSHIP IT WILL BE GOING OUT IN AT ANYTIME AND WILL COST 7500 TO REPLACE.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AND EXTENDED WARRANTY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, THE CURRENT TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNINGTO THE OPERATOR WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MILES AN HOUR IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, LOSS OF LIFE WAS JUST NARROWLY AVOIDED DUE TO UNCOMING TRAFFIC. DOES SOMEONE GAVE TO BE DESEASED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS IS FIXED ON THESE VEHICLES.

WHILE IN MOTION I LOST ALL FORWARD GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION RESULTING IN ME NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

IN THE 2013-2014 ESCAPE, AWD, THERE IS A KNOWN FAILING PART AND THEY HAVE A SERVICE ADVISORY, SSM 46965, TO ADDRESS THIS BUT WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. MANY HAVE FAILED, INCLUDING OURS, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THEY GET TO CHARGE US $800 TO REPAIR. THIS FAILING PART IS THE "VISCOUS COUPLER" OR CLUTCH IN THE RDU OR REAR DIFFERENTIAL. IT IS A 1.5 HOUR REPAIR JOB THAT THEY CHARGE 3 HOURS LABOR TO DO. WHEN IT FAILS, YOU GET VERY LOUD POPS AND GRINDING NOISES FROM THE REAR END WHEN TURNING TIGHT TURNS IN A PARKING LOT. IF NEGLECTED, IT WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL COMPLETELY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE 2013 AND FORD CONTINUES TO MILK PROFITS OFF IT TO THIS DAY. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE RE-EMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD ESCAPE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS ACCELERATING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE SERVICE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY TOWED TO GIRARD FORD (LOCATED AT 450 W THAMES ST, NORWICH, CT 06360, (860) 889-2601). HOWEVER, DUE TO THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000. PIIR = Y.

2014 FORD ESCAPE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY REVVED UP THEN LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JS

MY FAMILY AND I (WIFE AND NEWBORN) WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I NOTICED A LACK OF POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY THE FORD ESCAPE BEGAN SHIFTING UP AND DOWN RAPIDLY. THE RPMS WOULD INCREASE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, AND THE ENGINE WAS WORKING, BUT THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND SLIGHT GRINDING NOISE. IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. WE COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THE SHOP THAT RECEIVED THE FORD ESCAPE FOUND INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND QUOTED US FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE PRICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT IS OVER HALF OF WHAT THE VEHICLE IS WORTH! (ACCORDING TO KBB)

2014 FORD ESCAPE 1.6L 80,000 MI. JUST LIKE HUNDREDS ON THIS SITE AND MOST LIKELY THOUSANDS ACROSS THE US - TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLY DEADLY YET NHTSA AND FORD REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE RECURRING PROBLEM WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION RECALL. A 5 YR OLD VEHICLE WITH A YEARLY AVG OF 16,000 MI. SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $5000 TO THE OWNER. MY ONLY HOPE IS PEOPLE USE THIS SITE TO RESEARCH VEHICLE PURCHASES AND AVOID MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE AS ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF FORD ESCAPE - ONES THAT HAVE HAD PREMATURE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND ONES THAT SOON WILL.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY 2014 FORD ESCAPE WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET IT WITH NO INDICATIONS IT WAS GOING BAD.

2014 FORD ESCAPE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, IT LURCHED HAD WE BEEN ON A FREEWAY WE ARE CERTAIN THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

FORD ESCAPE WITH 77,000 STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE TRAVELLING OVER 30 MPH, TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP WHO IS INDICATING THAT IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2014 FORD ESCAPE SE SHORTLY AFTER BEING SERVICED AT OUR LOCAL COGGIN FORD FOR A MAINTENANCE INCLUDING A TRANSMISSION FLUSH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO EXHIBIT PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASE FROM A USED DEALER AND EACH TIME IT WAS BROUGHT TO FORD WHO CLAIMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME. DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING BROUGHT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP IT CONTINUED TO HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WHICH SEEMED TO BE MISDIAGNOSED SUCH AS A WASTEGATE AND TURBO THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHEN THE INTAKE HOSE WAS SIMPLY NOT RECONNECTED AFTER RECALL ISSUES WERE SUPPOSEDLY ADDRESSED. THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SIGNAL THAT THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS LOW. WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT AFTER NORMAL OPERATION THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ENGAGE THE DRIVESHAFT ONCE THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. AFTER FAILING TO HEAR THE GEARS ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR WAS RELEASED FOLLOWED BY A LOUD THUD AND THEN THE VEHICLE JERKED EXTREMELY AS THE GEARS ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE THEN FELT AS IF IT WAS NOT FULLY CATCHING GEARS AS IT BEGAN TO OVER REV WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CONTINUE DRIVING. UPON THIS HAPPENING THE VEHICLE THEN ENGAGED A SAFETY MECHANISM WHERE THE VEHICLE ONLY ALLOWED FOR IT TO MOVE FAR ENOUGH FOR US TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT IT OFF. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME. THIS WAS AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK FROM FORD WHOM DID A DIAGNOSTIC STATING THAT THE RECALL ISSUES WERE TAKEN CARE OF AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS COMPLETED. BEING THAT THE PROBLEMS HAD BEEN SO REPETITIOUS WE HAVE LEFT THE VEHICLE PARKED AND NO LONGER DRIVE IT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE STILL OWE OVER 12 THOUSAND DOLLARS ON THE VEHICLE. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH A CAR PAYMENT FOR A CAR WE CAN'T EVEN DRIVE AND THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE IT'S PURCHASE.
