Ford EscortFord Escort ZX2 is a hot-looking compact coupe with a rakish design. Yet its handsome interior reveals a roomy back seat and surprisingly large trunk. ZX2 provides responsive handling and good road manners and its engine delivers decent power. At the same time, the ZX2 is a practical car, with plenty of room in the back seats for friends.
Has anyone else had problem with their transmissions? I bought a 2000 Ford ZX2 used, 1 year old. It had about 16,000 miles on it. I soon found out the transmission was shot! Ford put a rebuilt transmission in it under warranty. Recently it started thumping! I asked around and was told the transmission was going out. It's got about 68,000 miles on it right now. It makes the noise when I'm stopped for a minute then go again. It's loud when I'm in overdrive, so I'm not using overdrive right now, just using drive. If anyone's heard of a recall or something for this problem, I would appreciate the information. I'm laid off and can't afford to fix it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ya im in the same situation i have a 1999 Ford Zx2 Manual, and in the past week my transmission shot, clutch droped, battery died completly without anything on... I love my Zx2 but it has to many problems and all ive heard from these zx2s is that they have nothing but transmission problems... Not a single zx2 that i have seen hasnt experinced some kind of transmission problem.... to as of why im not sure but all i know is im almost at the point of giving up on the car.... I need about 4 grand in repairs... and its only worth around 3
