While driving in traffic the vehicle lost drive power and would not engage into gear. No warning lamps or dashboard signals. The safety of other drivers became clear as I had to move the car (while coasting) from lane to side of road. The dealership called this a catastrophic transmission failure of the pump and suggests a full transmission replacement. My incident could have been far worse if on highway or heavier traffic. This failure contributed to unsafe conditions. I-??m reporting this because I-??ve read about many other instances of the same transmission problem on the same model and make and year.

Premature transmission failure with no warning at all while traveling at 75 miles per hour on the highway and an accident was narrowly avoided. Car was towed to dealership and they did confirm the transmission has failed and needs to be replaced. It appears this is a known issue yet they will not do anything to help the consumer except tell them it failed and they have to replace it for $6000 dollars. After much research there are hundreds of complaints on this same issue on this exact vehicle and the transmission is failing people while driving without warning - this is going to get someone injured or killed as there is no warning of potential transmission issues - just fails while driving out of nowhere and on vehicles that should not be having transmission issues yet. Ford is doing nothing about this but they know of the issue - they just leave the cars out there so someone can possibly get hurt. This is a huge safety concern and I cannot believe there is not a recall on this vehicle. This needs to be investigated in full and the consumers taken care of as you cannot knowlingy put faulty transmissions in cars and let the consumer get injured or even possibly killed.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving at 60 MPH, the vehicle hesitated upon depression of the accelerator pedal. The contact was uncertain if any warning lights appeared on the instrument panel during the failure. The hesitation continued as the contact exited the highway and coasted the vehicle into a parking lot. The vehicle was then towed to her residence. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where they replaced the transmission; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was contacted about the failure and informed the contact that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

While driving 75 mph down the highway the transmission failed with no warning lights or symptoms. Car wouldn't change gears and thankfully was able to exit the highway without an accident in a highly congested area. After pulling off the highway car would not move or go into reverse then transmission light came on. Only owner of vehicle and it was bought brand new from the dealership always being serviced by Ford. Dealership has advised the transmission failed though this should not happen at this mileage and the repair is a new transmission. This appears to be a known issue with this make and model of vehicle yet is continuing to happen. A faulty transmission that goes out with no warning while driving is a huge safety issue. Thankfully I was not hurt but Someone is going to get hurt or killed.

Transmission fault: engine suddenly reved high and didn-??t move. Weird noise coming on and off. No prior warning or notifications with transmission

- Algonquin, IL, USA

My transmission went out at 107,500 miles while going 85 on the highway after leaving work. I was pressing the gas, but my car would not accelerate. My car was at almost 5000 RPMs and making a terrible noise. I was able to coast into a parking lot. My car was struggling to shift from neutral to reverse and was making a loud revving noise even when idle. I was almost read-ended when my transmission went out and caused others to change lanes quickly to avoid hitting me. I was lucky that I did not get stranded in the middle lane of the highway. I had my vehicle towed to AAMCO who confirmed it was my transmission. The service representative I spoke to said that he drove my car around the block himself and got stranded in the middle of the road. He confirmed my transmission was reading multiple error codes and that it would need to be rebuilt. It is still currently being repaired, but they estimated it would be around $3300 to rebuild the transmission. There was no check engine light, and the only light that was on was a low tire pressure alert due to the sudden cold weather. On the way to work that day (about 8 hours prior to the incident), my car was making a loud noise but driving fine. Once I left work, I continued to notice the abnormal noise. I stopped at a red light then accelerated to turn at the intersection. Once I turned, I made it about a quart of a mile before my car stopped accelerating. I am waiting on the official findings from AAMCO to determine what the exact issue with the transmission is.

I have had a 2014 Ford escape titanium 1.6L turbo, but I have had two transmissions (6F35) fail for the exact same reason. The torque converter is shooting metal into the transmission causing an internal failure. This has resulted in me having to pay for yet another transmission costing me at least $6,000 from the repair and then for acquiring a rental vehicle. I've been told by my repair shop that this is a common issue with this transmission. The failure both times has happened when I have been driving at a high rate of speed on the expressway and I suddenly lose the ability to drive the car and I have to coast to safety. The first time this happened I did experience a warning from my on board system but the second time the failure happened and nothing came up on the dash. I currently have an extended warranty through endurance that is not paying for this repair. This will be the second claim that I have made then I will have to pay out of pocket. I think there seriously needs to be a recall or some sort of redesign done on this torque converter.

I was driving down the road on my way home from the store my car suddenly stalled on me. I would have been rear ended had I not been able to pull over on the side of the road because a car was right behind me. I was fortunate to be able to not hit ant trees or mailboxes on the side of the road or that there was not a deep ditch! It could have been a bad wreck with deadly injuries. The engine was still running even though it loss power. There was no warning. The engine light never came on. I tried getting back on the the road, the car would barely go and was making a grinder /wining noise.Still on engine light or warning. I managed to get to my drive way, then the gear slipped and the car jerked bad! I was able to get it in the driveway! I had it towed to a automotive shop. The technician determined I have transmission failure! I am having to get a new transmission!!! I the car has 58,000 miles on it when it happened. It-??s my understanding that this has happened to other people with 2014 Ford Escape.

The valve for the eco system is stuck open which causes car to stall while driving and loses power on a flat surface(most do that uphill) and revs engine rpms way too high and tranny slips. I have a aftermarket warranty that is bumper to bumper but seems everytime i take it to garage the warranty company claims the parts aren't covered. I can't afford this repair which is going to cost me $600. The company doesn't even pay for the diagnosis which is another $90. Ford investigation needs to recheck their results over

Driving on the highway I lost braking power the brake vacuum pump ceased up and broke the bolt in the cam shaft that had to be drilled out and replaced then that caused more damage to the cam and bottom end of the motor for the motor to throw the following codes: p0365 p0369 p0012 p0299 b1215 p0234 U3008 U3003 U0300 p1594 U0140 U0154 U2300 U0422 B1B36 With all these codes I did the following and am now without a vehicle thanks to FORD. This vehicle only has 58000 Miles is single owner and was well maintained till this incident now I am told the motor has to be rebuilt as the cam and bottom end are the issues with this vehicle and this has happened to a lot of people and could have cause a crash or deadly accident as no brakes and now no vehicle. The three sensors were replaced and brake vacuum pump and bolt that drives the pump from the cam along with new spark plugs and valve cover gaskets plus oil change and filter plus new battery and tires along with front rotors calipers brake pads and rear rotors and brake pads. I blame Ford for this as this is a well known issue with 2014 to 2019 models of Ford Escape Titanium 2.0l Eco Boost Engine with turbo. Garages all over the US and Canada have been just replacing the engines due to poor engineering on Fords part and I believe Ford should be held responsible to the engines replacement as it is not even 60000 Miles and I try to take good car of my vehicle only to have none now to drive. Ford Should be held Responsible.
