Escape XLT 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,000 miles

The engine has to rev so high before it shifts! This is very annoying! Dealer tried flashing it, but still acts the same.

Escape XLT 3 Litre

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,874 miles

This was just the first time the transmission was rebuilt, was also done in sept of 2010, and is starting to have problems again. Ford is making me go through the can vap program to have the car declared a lemon.

problem #1

Escape Limited

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

When accelerating such as entering the freeway, the transmission would slip and then very roughly shift. And when coasting to a stop when you began to accelerate, it would hesitate and shift roughly. The dealer has tried to smooth it out, but has not been successful. This is our 4th time to complain.
