Escape XLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

Just had to replace a transmission on a leased ford escape 2006.Although Ford covered the cost for the replacement it doesn't leave a good reason to want to but it after the lease is up.Ive heard of few vehicles needing a transmission after roughly 20,000 miles of driving.This was my first purchase of American cars in over 20 years and i am lamenting that decision.

well it sucks when you own a 2006 and the transmission goes and ford didn,t cover this
my warranty was 3 years 60,000 k and i was 27 months with 87,000 k
the warranty on this escape changed in July of 2006 to 5 years 100,000 k
but i got mine the end of nov 2005. but this suv is a 2006
ford only picked up $1750.00 dollars i payed the other half this suck.
ford should of covered this .

All I have to say is WOW!!!!! Just found out my transmission on my 2006 Ford Escape needs to be replaced or rebuilt. How in the hell can a car that isnt even 2 years old and has only 40,000 miles need to get a brand new transmission. This to me is an outrage, the only reason I bought a brand new car is so I didn't have to worry about shit like this!!!!!! No wonder Ford Motor Company is going bankrupt, they make cars with faulty and defective parts. I noticed a lot of other people have had the same problem with there Escapes. Ford must know there is something wrong with these transmissions yet they are still putting them into vehicles and this is the biggest load of bullshit ever. I will never purchase another Ford as long as I live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
