Problems with 2008 Ford Escape POWER TRAIN

I own a 2008 ford escape that has recently been diagnosed with a known recalled issue with the torque sensor. error code b2278. it has caused the electric power steering assist to turn off. my vehicle currently has no power steering due to this issue that has already been recalled. my vehicle falls under the model and year that ford recalled the part on, however the ford motor company is claiming they have no responsibility in the repair or replacement of the part. luckily i was at a slow speed when the power steering went out and did not cause an accident.

Suspension axle transmission front end while in motion loud clank metal sound. took to shop and was told drive it until it dies. too expensive to repair entirerepair of from axel suspension and transmission. i still have 15 months on my loan. no excessive driving and no hard use.

My vehicle will be in motion while driving and suddenly have a shifting problem. the vehicle will shake and stutter and looses power no matter how much you press your foot on the gas peddle. my engine light flashed on and off a couple times and then once my vehicle shifted, it would idle rough and act like it was going to die when i would stop at a light. this has been happening for several days now at different speeds on residential streets and the highway. the engine light has not come on since. i took it to have the error code read from the engine light coming on but it was only a generic code. one of the codes was for an airbag sensor. i do not know what is wrong with it.

I bought this used escape about 2 yrs ago, first yr over $400 into stabilizer bar sway bars front end repairs,,ok, second yr, guess what? yes transmission 3rd gear out...after doing reviews on here i'm not the only one. when one lives on social security and you live on $100 a week doesn't leave much for repairs,, yes i know you are going to some maintance but holly cow this transmission problem is not cheap. i have only put 9,223 miles on this suv since i had it. with as many problems as there is with the escape transmission one would think fords would get it right, with all the problems not even a recall. every place i have taken my car to i't like here comes a ole lady we'll tell her anything and empty her wallet, can't believe all the crap i was told with diff $$ making my head spin, who do you belive when fords let you down and don't stand behind their product. i have always been a ford person but not anymore!! i can't make payments and replace tranys on a fixed income. i am doing my homework now and it looks like chevy ...

The front wheel hub started giving me problems around 10 three 2018. then on 12 20 2018 the hood came undone and smashed my windshield. ever since i've had the vehicle since 2015 it had power assist problems in the steering.

When you take the transmission is sluggish on changing gears and after a change out of logan her into high gear is sykes working fine wine step on the brakes the truck starts bouncing feels like the front end is about to fall out from under the truck and i told you to the ford company and they said there's no any recall on my vin number but i have a part that is listed under the government site is good that's what's going on with my vehicle is a ford escape 2008.

2008 ford escape transmission is bad already lost 2nd gear was a recall but ford motor company will not recall because of expiration warranty i've only had my vehicle 1 year and 10 months i still owe ford should be responsible for this reopen the recall my ford escape is at a dealer ship in g-ville ohio i am on a fixed income disability my mom is also disabled i have a daughter with brain cancer i have to pay someone to take her appointments i really need my vehicle and i think ford motor company should reopen the recall and replace my transmission and pay for me to get a rental car

I paid for my 2008 ford escape and warranty just expired in july 2018. i've taken my car for service routinely with ford dealership and just received service the week prior. i explained i was going for a trip to az (400 mile roundtrip) and needed a full check and service. everything passed with flying colors. on my return trip up a hill, the wrench light came on and i lost power and limped home. i took it to the service department and codes were not coming up for the wrench light and after keeping it for additional day, the 2nd and 4th gears are out and it will take a week to fix. no warranty coverage and i just hit the 90,000 mile mark. unbelievable that a transmission goes out at a 90,000 mile. i'm so disappointed in the vehicle after paying so much for it and maintaining all services. no discounts were offered.

Vehicle lurches, stalls, jerks, lunges, slips and so on.

The transmission does not comply with the gear shifter. it feels like the parking brake is on and the vehicle will not proceed

Transmission wrench light came on internet said the band in transmission was at fault. i was in a parking lot when the light came the car was shifting out of first into second. it has been shifting hard for a couple months. i had the unit worked on last year to replace a band that has broken. it worked fine for awhile then started this hard shifting. i spent over 700$ to get it repaired. the car has 180000 miles on it.

I was driving home from work in my 2008 ford escape, when the vehical just stopped accelerating. the rpm would climb, but the vehical would not move. the wrench light on the instrument cluster came on. i was able to get the vehical off the highway. i noticed if i turned the vehical off and turned it back on, it would move until the transmission went into 3rd gear after that it would just rev up as if it was in neutral. i limped it the 5 miles to home and parked it. after some research i have found that this is a common issue with this vehical. something really should be done about this. it is sad that so many of these have less than 100,000 miles and are having major power train issues. my 2008 ford escape only has 55,000 miles.

When driving car will shut down with a warning pull over and turn vehicle off very dangerous no time to find exits does not matter where you are at!!

Car will accelerate after coming to complete stop. transmission shift bands broke. ford is charging 1537 to rebuild the transmission. the issue seems to be common with the 2008 ford escape. ford should have a recall on this part.

My ford escape 2008 model auto transmission with mileage of 98000 started giving trouble today and scary too. after turning on the car & once starts moving, i felt like something wrong with shifting gears from first to second (vehicle moves smoothly for few and after that i can hear the accelerator sound, and i see the wrench sign pops up on the dash board so i had to press the gas pedal up and down to move the vehicle, i drove my escape home and stopped the car and again i turned on that time wrench sign was gone and started moving the vehicle and the same thing repeated - wrench sign & the problem with shifting gears.
