Transmission Gear Slipping problems of the 2013 Ford Escape

Tl- the contact's daughter owns a 2013 Ford Escape. The contact stated that when his daughter would drive at various speeds, the vehicle would stall and shut off without warning. After the failure occurred, the contact would be able to restart the vehicle and continue normal driving. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic where she was informed that belts and clutches inside of the transmission were slipping, causing the failure. The vehicle had not been taken to a dealer and the manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 104,529. Jo.

I purchased the car with 60,000 miles I put 6,000 in 7 months and now my transmission is slipping. I was almost rear ended when it dropped out of nowhere. There are transmission recalls on similar Fords.

Transmission slipping in forward and reverse when car starts up from stop on city road.

Less that 85,000 and transmission is slipping. Mechanic reports that he sees at least 1 Escape or explorer a month with transmission issues. Slippage happens at low speeds and during highway travel.

131,000 miles transmission started slipping and as of 7/15/2018 transmission is gone this seems to be very common with the 1. 6 liter engine I had taken it in when it started to slip and Ford dealer ship started they could not find anything wrong with it until warranty was up and transmission is completely out now I'm stuck with a loan and a vehicle I cannot drive very disappointed with Ford I wish I would have known they changed the motor and tranny 3 times in 2013 very dissatisfied should be a recall on these transmissions.

All 2013 Ford Escapes have bad transmissions and when it slips it causes the timing belt in the engine to fail causing the engine to fail.
