2009 Escape Transmission Failure Purchased a 2009 Escape, 6cyl, auto trans to tow 4 wheels down behind a motor home. The transmission is being replace by Ford after only 8,000 actual miles on the odometer. The Escape was was towed about 2000 miles before the failure, on several differant trips between purchase in January and trans failure in July. Ford will put in a new transmission, but I am concerned that it will happen all over again as no one can tell me the reason for the failure. I towed in neutral, and kept the speed most times at 65 mph or lower, but occasionally over 65 when going down hill but not for a long time. When setting up towing, I shift directly to neutral from park.
Anyone have any ideas on this problem. |
