Ford escape 2016, while driving on the street my car started smoking from the hood i stopped immediately checked for water, coolant water was empty so i filled water and i took to the mechanic shop they said its coolant reservoir
My 2016 ford escape broke down on the morning of friday, january 24th. no warning, no prior issues occurred. it was a complete shock. the warning light, 'transmission fault service now,' came on only when the car broke down. not only was it scary, but it was extremely dangerous. as a result, we had to tow the car to the anderson ford dealership (anderson, sc) where we purchased the car. unfortunately, the car's warranty had just expired. my car has 62.5k miles. the local dealership was of no help. even contacting the ford corporation brought very little if any relief. there's no doubt in my mind that this is a faulty part. i've not seen a recall, but i have noticed many similar issues have been posted. please help!
I've had this car for less than 3 years and have been on time with every single normal upkeep and maintenance service. i bought this car because i thought it would be reliable after i had my daughter. it currently has 86,850 miles on it, and while driving home from work, thankfully on back roads, i felt the car shudder when i tried to accelerate, the gears slipped several times, and the engine would alternate between revving when i was barely touching the gas, to not going anywhere at all when i had the pedal to the floor. i had to have it towed and was told that it had major transmission issues. my mechanic tried a flush, which had it working long enough for me to get 5 miles down the road, where it completely quit accelerating after i stopped at a stop sign. this car is in impeccable shape otherwise, has less than 90k miles on it, and is less than 3 years old. there is absolutely no reason it should be needing a completely new transmission.
Failure of the shift interlock cable. car will not go into park or reverse. vehicle was at a hospital parking lot and my wife thought it was in park removed the keys from the ignition, exited vehicle and the vehicle rolled backwards into the parking lot traffic. she immediately jump back in the car and applied the foot break, placed the emergency brake on and turned on flashers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford escape. the contact stated that while parked, the shifter cable bushing fractured without warning. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was repaired and the shifter cable bushing was replaced. upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 18v471000 (power train). the manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was 74,000.
I've had this car for a little over 3 years and have been on time with every single normal upkeep and maintenance service. it currently has 87,000 miles on it, and while driving home from work, i felt the car shudder when i tried to accelerate, the gears slipped several times, and the engine would alternate between revving when i was barely touching the gas, to not going anywhere at all when i had the pedal to the floor. i had to have it towed and was told that it had major transmission issues. mechanic said that there was a gasket that failed and caused a transmission leak. and thanks to the design transmission fluid is not something that i can check myself.
Car began to show hesitation when accelerating on highway onramp. the next day, transmission disengaged while at a drive through. car would not move at all. i then shifted into park and back into drive. car violently jumped and then began to crawl. was able to slowly move in an attempt to get it home. transmission again disengaged while driving causing rpm to shoot up. was able to push to parking lot and get it towed to local ford dealership. i have seen many reports online of this same activity and care is less than 4 years old. most owners have just passed the 60k mileage mark that the powertrain warranty covers. ridiculous - ford has already had recalls for other year models of the escape and for other vehicles in the same year for this same issue. the 2016 escape needs to be included in these transmission recalls!
I've owned the car for a little over 3 years. the other day i was at a stop sign and when i went to accelerate my car would move. the rpm went up but no movement. finally in slammed into gear so i could move and park. up until this day i had no issues that would make me suspect that my transmission was going bad. so i had it towed to the dealership and was told that i definitely needed a new transmission. when my husband spoke to the man he asked if it was common in that vehicle for the transmission not to last. the man told him yes that it is a faulty design on fords part and that they actually have another one at there shop for the same.problem. i am by no means hard in my vehicle and i dont feel that transmission problems should be something to worry about in a vehicle that is 3 years old.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 ford escape. while driving approximately 40 mph and attempting to accelerate, the rpms would increase; however, the vehicle did not respond properly. the contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and noticed that the transmission warning indicator was illuminated. the vehicle was towed to champion ford edinboro (located at 11941 edinboro rd, edinboro, pa 16412, 888-787-8756) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not covered under warranty due to the mileage. the approximate failure mileage was 74,887. *dt vin provided has no displayable records in carfax. *jb
While driving in highway, car began to increase acceleration suddenly and began to lose speed. transmission could not engage and vehicle would not move. stranded in highway. car was towed to ford dealer. mileage was 61,700 and ford refused cover under 60k powertrain warranty. transmission was rebuilt by dealer at a cost of $3,400.
At 84,000 miles, my car started jerking and hesitating as it was trying to go into 2nd and third gear...then the reverse wouldn't work at all. thankfully, i was almost home when this happened, as the car became undrivable. i would hit the gas and it wouldn't go anywhere....i have it at a repair shop and was told this is common issue with ford escapes and they are surprised that ford hasn't issued a recall. i have to replace the entire transmission at the cost of $5,500. i am not covered as the powertrain is only covered up until 60,000 miles. i am so disgusted that this is a common problem and i have to pay so much money. i am a single mother and this is not something i can afford, but i have to choice but to go into debt.
Torque converter bearing and seal leaking a quart of transmission fluid a day. replaced due to faulty seal and bearing. its' only a 2016. the seal/bearing/torque converter should not be already breaking down in 3 years.
Car got stuck in reverse when trying to put into park in a parking lot. found out the bushing on the shifter cable went bad. with further research up to 2014's are already being recalled. i found that you can only buy the full cable kit and not just the bushing. sounds like a lot of people are having this problem which seems pretty dangerous not to be able to put your cars into different gears.
Transmission failure at only 90k miles for a vehicle that was built in 2016 is absolutely crazy! the vehicle will not shift into gear and when it does it struggles to move under its own weight. the vehicle was at a stop when it jolted really hard. it felt like someone hit me from the back. after that jolt the car was making some grinding noises. we barely made it to a parking lot as the car was struggling to move in a busy street.
