The contact owns a 2007 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The vehicle then started to jerk violently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for inspection however, the technicians were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 30,000. The current mileage was approximately 31,000. Updated 04/30/lj.
When I was driving home, after stopping at a red light and starting to accelerate, my Escape rumbled a bit, then was running fine. A few moments later, when I was about to go over train tracks, it suddenly stopped accelerating. Thankfully I was able to coast over the tracks safety and off to the side of the road, but other then the slight jerking a little earlier, there were no warning signs. I tried to see if reverse would work, and that did not either. Thankfully my vehicle was still under warranty-the entire transmission system had to be replaced. There was only about 21,500 miles on the vehicle! and I regularly get maintenance. I have been driving it for about 500 miles and everything seems okay (although my mpg seems to have gone down some).
A piece in the shifter assembly is defective causing the key to get stuck in the ignition, and instead of Ford replacing that one piece they suggest you replace the shifter assembly which is at least 400. 00 vs maybe 50. 00.
Transmission went at 20,000 miles, replaced 2 abs sensors, GS pedal sticks, frontdisc brakes warp.
