Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2006 Ford Escape

After about 2 years, 2008, car was dragging took it to Ford, was told nothing was wrong, it was some time later, 2016 /2017 that the transmission went out, had it replaced, less than 1 year it went out again, which Ford replaced, when the service person asked who did it, he just rolled his eyes. 3 years and 2 months later, more transmission problem, now theyare teling it the ptu unit which is causing oil to leak through the engine and now they want 5,000. 00 to replace it. A transmission shop was question and they said that year had lots of issue with the transmissions and when Ford replaced the transmission the ptru unit was put in wrong, that they were constantly fixing it, also that the hilltop Ford service department is the worse anyone could go to, also when I took my care to Ford, the engine light was not on, and when I picked it up and told what was wrong, they had on it the I wanted to find out why my engine was, I did not, it was not on, I was told that he had to put that or the charges would be more, I was already being changed over $200 when I was never told about the charge in the first place.

I have taken very good care of my 2006 Ford Escape with frequent oil changes every 2k. I have also had a transmission rebuild that was completed during warranty in 2010. No my car is in a shop with diagnosis that the engine is burned out and needs to be replaced. $4500 for a used engine replacement. I was driving on a highway with a car filled with children and with no indication lights coming on the motor completely died while I was moving 65 mph. I was very fortunate to pull over to the side of the road without a crash. The indication lights only came on as the motor was dying. I tried to restart the engine and it would start but then started to smoke immediately. When I have the car towed to a mechanic he said that there was very little oil in the engine. I had just added 2 quarts of oil about 400 miles before this incident and saw no leakage.

Since buying SUV trouble with rear windshield wiper, cruise control staying engaged, & turn over cold/hot start hesitation currently voluntary recalls. Ford says my SUV was only affected by the windshield wiper. At 22,000 miles went to original dealer for oil change put windshield fluid ? wasn't in port or reservoir. Bucking at 28,000 miles brought to other dealership during oil change. During visit told them about interior lights. Suppose to check automatic transmission filter/fluid/service based on manual, but wasn't done. At other Ford dealership had SUV 35,830 bucking problem again and interior lighting on panels not working. Was told those lights never worked or glowed? said bucking was a suspension pin in the front passengers side, only one was changed despite 4 wheel drive vehicle. ( was towed back to dealership next day 4 bucking ) Ford mentioned needing new breaks soon that there was vibration and shimmy from the break pads that I was feeling? had tires done 38,177 miles & brakes 38,550 with independent mechanic non Ford was told that all 4 suspension pins should have been changed simultaneously like my tires and that their is a class 1 leak from my differential/transmission-possibly just a gasket change 6-9 hours worth of labor. I contacted the Ford customer service repair center I would have to pay for out of pocket despite having made note bringing in issues when vehicle was under the manufacturers warranty it is currently out. With the sensitivities to the current market felt it wasn't in my best interest to pay for the extended warranty. If Ford closed who would do my work when they were suppose to do it during regular bumper to bumper full manufacturer warranty in the first place and didn't. Not to mention I still owe 2 more years worth of car note & insurance to pay off this vehicle. I don't have the money to pay for repairs that should have been covered by the manufacturer.

At 9 months pregnant, while driving home I suddenly heard a loud thumping noise. I was close to home so I brought it there and had it towed to a dealership. They told me that there was absolutely no oil in the car, even though I had my oil changed a month before. The oil light never went on and we did not see any leaking oil. I received a call from the dealer telling me that my engine had to be replaced at 46,000 miles! he told me that I should have been checking my oil every time I got gas (at 9 months pregnant!) and it was up to me to keep up with it, not the check oil light. He told me that I should not rely on those indicators. A new engine and $5000 later and now my car leaks oil. I have been bringing it in every month to fix the leak and it always starts again within a week. This has been going on for 2 years now. I have 1 more year left for my engine warranty and I have a feeling that they will find the expensive problem as soon as that time comes. I'm so upset and frustrated with this car and even more so with the service.
