Problems with 2006 Ford Escape POWER TRAIN

Had a winter spell that brought about 6 inches of snow. when i left for work i got stuck at a stop sign and found myself unable to go forward or backwards. i therefore employed standard winter driving tactics slowly changing back and forth from reverse to drive in a rocking motion to get the vehicle unstuck. after freeing the vehicle i then proceeded to drive towards my work but the vehicle wouldn't stay in gear. now the vehicle won't go into a moving gear except for every once in a while and only for a few seconds before it slips back out of gear and won't move. can also hear a loud grinding / clacking noise coming from up front around the transmission.

Well, my vehicle has been maintained and up kept since day one, and before that my mother. the shifting solenoids are starting to go, which means the tyranny will eventually go. it searches to find gears and has never been beat on. this is quite a nuisance, constantly pulling over and starting it up again just to shift. never has been low on fluids either. the main problem with the escapes is the transmission and although mine is not under the recall, as all others are, i feel that i have been outdone by ford [xxx] me over. honestly the worst transmission issue i've seen with any model from ford, or much less chevy and gmcr or toyota. my corolla lasted longer than this one, over 200000 in fact! the fact of it is, this one didn't even make it to 200000. wtf this started out of nowhere, no warning, nothing. turned the vehicle on one day and it just didn't want to shift. jw i'm looking at a 4000 dollar bill to fix it while others have had this issue as well. i didn't even pay over 2500 for this thing so for it to be acting this ...

Similar to earlier models 2001-2004/5. took the car in to be checked out for cross country trip and daughter was told the sub-frame supporting the engine was rusted and car was unsafe to drive.

After driving my 2006 ford escape on the freeway reaching speed over 60 miles per hour it will stall. starts up and when placed in gear to drive it stalls and shuts off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford escape. while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was able to restart after several attempts, but would stall after it was placed into gear. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the coils failed and were not getting signals from the power train control module. the pcm coil and plugs needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 61,127.

While driving my vehicle it went into overdrive without me accelerating. this often occurred whether my foot was lightly pressed on the (foot) pedal or off the pedal. the vehicle lost its ability to forward drive, whereby i had to allow the car to glide of to the should of the road. when the vehicle was finally off the road i would experience difficulty shifting the gears - sticking as i tried to put it in gear. it is a manual drive 2006 ford escape. this [stalling] occurred after several trips to the mechanics before my vehicle was rendered completely immobile i.e. unable to reverse or forward drive. the mechanics, at the ford dealership, diagnosed my vehicle with transmission problems, that would require a total transmission rebuild/replacement. i have not received a recall notice, but i know that my vehicle is among the model 2001 - 2009 ford escapes that have experienced transmission troubles/recalls in last 6 months. since ~january 2016, the vehicle was towed by the dealers and remains there, to date, with no mention of recalls on this make/model/year vehicle. i contacted ford corp. customer services toll-free # (1) to inform them of the problem, (2) to ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 ford escape. while driving 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning and stalled. the contact experienced the same failures listed in nhtsa campaign number: 15v606000 (power train), but the vin was not included in the recall. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 97,000.

Without warning transmission completely fails. no indication of problems, just dropped the transmission on the way to work. thank goodness there was no traffic behind us or we were in an intersection. just completely stopped pulling while traveling down the road at 45 mph. transmission rebuilt. since then and still currently the charging light stays on constantly. has been in the automotive repair shop for a month and no one can find a problem or match the codes with an apparent problem. on it's way to a second shop for another opinion. idles high both in park and in gear, constant vibration inside the vehicle (steering wheel, dash, console etc.). dash/speedometer makes humming noise in the afternoons. alarm has randomly gone off twice and interior lights would not go out on their own - had to turn off manually. "right rear door ajar" or "lift gate ajar" messages were displayed, but the doors were fine. message did not reset when re-closing the doors, just reset eventually on its own. gas mileage has dropped to 15 mpg. radio volume will not come down. get louder if you touch it. this problem ...

Driving down the freeway and my vehicle shuts off without warning. there is a loud knocking and shuttering noise like my whole engine is going to drop onto the freeway. i get to the shoulder and put it in park. as i try to start the vehicle again the engine/motor starts shaking yet again with a loud knocking noise and wont turn over. i had to get my car towed. my children were extremely scared and being on the freeway this issue is very dangerous and has been complained about multiple times.

I bought the vehicle on september 4,2015 all these problem started 1 month after. manuel transmission gets to rough at times when being shifted into 1st gear and reverse gets stuck and hard to shift, might be part of the recall no# 15s28 the engine oil seems to use 1qt a week, recently had a changed oil but continues to use the same every week, mileage is at 132467. the air bag for passenger light continues to light up and goes off when driven. a banging noise when driven on the road at rear shock absorbers are located, the shocks are still new.

I am one of many who have had their transmission go out on their 2006 ford escape - i was driving home with my son - stopped at red light - light turned green and vehicle would not move - had to call tow truck http://www.carcomplaints.com/ford/escape/2006/transmission/transmission_failure.shtml

The service engine light came on plus the wrench light. the vehicle told me to pull over safely. it would not go over 20 miles per hour. i had it towed to the ford dealership and was told it was the throttle body. i did research online where other escapes were having the same issue. the north carolina consumers council stated this online- "we have been informed that ford has issued an extended warranty for defective throttle body assemblies and sensors for 10 years or 150,000 miles from the data of original purchase. for vehicles past this time limit, the warranty is reported to be valid until january 31, 2015." since i am over the mileage i am having to pay for the part. *tr
