2002 Ford Escape. Vehicle will not go into reverse when reverse is selected intermittently. Reverse is selected and if left in the selection, it will take 3-5 minutes to engage. Sometimes it doesn't engage at all, and if you can pull forward, then it might go into reverse. This occurs several times a month. Ford can not duplicate it. It is impossible to back away from a dangerous situation or to back out from a pull in parking spot.
