Transmission Failure
2007 Ford Escape
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Ford Escape looks pretty good compared to other Ford Escape model years, but still has a trend of transmission problems, so it's not a model year we can recommend.
Also the base model Escape did not come with side airbags so it received a "Poor" rating from the IIHS for side impact protection. Other similar 2007 models like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V & Hyundai Santa Fe scored far better.

Bought the car new. Maintained car very well. Began having transmission issues and every time the dealer would patch the problem instead of fixing the problem. These transmissions are a known issue for the Escapes. I had taken it in 4x within the warranty period for transmission problems. Literally a few miles outside of warranty the transmission goes out completely.
I had the car towed to the dealer and since it was out of warranty they couldn't "help me". They quoted $4500 for a replacement. BS! I immediately got a lemon law attorney. It took about 8 months and the case was resolved without ever going to trial. Without going into detail I did very very well. Just keep good records and if you have more than 3 problems under warranty with the same issue it falls under lemon law in most states. I would have been more than happy if Ford just replaced my transmission. I paid a local shop only $2500 for a rebuilt and I still drive the car. Love the car, hate the transmission.
