Incident: transmission failure. On 9 march my transmission in my 2003 ford escape (xlt) failed. There was no prior warning except as I drove that morning the car seemed not to want to go forward. After pulling over to the side of the road, the car transmission locked up and would not go forward or in reverse. I called a tow truck to bring the car to the nearest ford dealer. To date, the reason or cause of the failure is unknown.

Cable on vehicle accelerator pedal broke and car accelerator unchecked. I needed to"stand" hard on my brakes to get any contol of the speed. I was on the freeway and transitioning to another freeway when this occurred. The only way I could stop the car was to turn off the motor once I got near the shoulder and use the brakes and the emergency brakes to come to a stop. The power ford valencia ford dealer, where I purchased the car, found the broken cable and now tells me that ford does not cover this type of failure.

Transmission slipped into neutral and 2nd gear on its own. *ph the gear indicator stated the vehicle was still in drive, when the incident occurred.

My 2003 ford escape intermittently stalls when going into reverse. After the 2nd trip to the dealership they replaced the computer, it is still happening. Now it is happening in drive as well. I've had the car since december 2002 and it has stalled out a total of 11 times. The vehicle has 8000 miles on it.
I purchased a 2003 ford escape a couple of weeks ago. I drove it 8 days and 650 miles when the transmission went out. It was towed to the dealer and has been there for 6 days. I am requesting from ford an extended warranty on the vehicle which they are unwilling to provide. They are fixing the direct clutch which failed. I do not think an extended warranty is unreasonable. I know gm would provide one should the situation be the same.
