Tl*the contact owns a 2007 ford escape. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. When the failure occurred, the steering column locked and prevented the contact from controlling the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they repaired the torque converter. The failure recurred several months later. The dealer is currently diagnosing the vehicle to determine the cause of the failure. All of the remedies to date have been insufficient in correcting the failure. The failure mileage was 21,731 and current mileage was 22,000. The transmission was jerking and shifting hard. When coming to a stop it made a sound like twisting metal and the brakes popped and jerked, when accelerating in a curve. There was no response from the vehicle when the accelerator was applied. The vehicle also pulled to the left. The consumer also stated the vehicle stalled while driving 70 MPH. The overdrive light illuminated for no reason, the automatic door locks did not work properly, they would lock and unlock at will while the consumer was backing up. Updated 02/05/09.
2007 Ford Escape transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 44 of 44, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was pulling out onto a main highway and my car jerked as I pressed on the accelerator and next thing I know I am in the middle of the highway and my car does not go forward, just stops and still running while two huge trucks are coming from both directions, thinking quickly, I thought the car may have reverse. Well, thank god it did and reverse I went. I had to drive home in reverse and call chapman ford to come and pick it up. My vehicle is still there and they have to take out the whole transmission. I am very shaken and am too scared to get back into the car. I have never felt like this before and have always bought a ford for safety reasons, but this has made me feel very, very unsafe.
