I bought this used 2011 Escape Limited, I’ve been working on it constantly since I’ve had it. This is what I can’t figure out doesn’t always but sometimes as I takeoff it feels like it’s stuck in low gear. Almost every time it does it I usually go for the shifter thinking I went 12 min and have it in low and then it will snap out of it start acting as it normally does.
At times I barely hit the gas and shoot out of a red light. Other times I’ll go to accelerate to get on the highway in it I feel a little sluggish occasionally if I step on the pedal a little hard feels as if it squats down and takes off and hit it jerk right jerk left or left and right, it might go left right left it’s usually two or three jerks before I have it straightened out. It’s only happened a handful of times, It’s got me little nervous I had a close call.
Now I finally got everything that I, couldn’t put off fixed. I was convinced I had a bad PCM it could be responsible for quite a few of my problems but I’m really not sure so if anyone’s got any suggestions I’m all ears thank you.
