Transmission Noise problems of the 2013 Ford Escape

The vehicle was in motion on a 55mph road at night time when the transmission decided to stop working! no prior notifications went off on the car before it stopped working. After I managed to roll to a safe spot I shut of the car, let it cool, then turned it back on. When putting the car in drive it went in reverse! there is a �cat scratching� like noise happening in the transmission. All of this happened only two month after buying the car. This should not happen to a car!! I have seen recalls on transmissions just like mine however mine did not meet the required date because it was build 2 months before the other 2013 vehicles.

I was driving home from work and without no warning signs when I went to go at a green light it just didn't want to go and was making a whining noise. Had to have it towed. Have gotten 3 different technicians from 3 different places and said that the transmission needs replaced. I have been doing a lot of research and have found that Ford has had transmission problems from around 2010-2016. Why has there not been a recall, especially since the repair cost is $4000-$6000.

Had regular oil change on 4/15/13 and about a week after. While coming to a stopped the vehicle just stalled without warning. Had to come to come to complete stop to put car in park and restart. Ran vehicle health report--nl. Went to dealer who did oil change and said they never heard of this car doing it . If happened again call roadside. 05/29/13 at 545pm car stalled again no warning. Called crown Ford set up appt for mon. 06/10. 6/7/13 558am car again stalled at about 35 mph no warning had to put in neutral apply brake to restart since I was on road with no shoulder and mid curve. Keep appt for mon. At about 423pm that day started car and engine fault noted on start tried to drive out of parking garage. Car was missing and barely moving. Transmission made loud clunk noise. Coasted car down parking garage so tow truck would be able to access it. Towed to crown Ford. Offered vehicle health report I ran stating it was powertrain issue. They declined needed it. Checked and replace map sensor. Picked up on 6/11/13 and 06/12/13 stalled again early in the morning about 600am and then I was advised to bring back to dealer. Stalled again on way to dealer approximately 1130 am. Advised service dealer they ran diagnostic for the next week which all came back normal. Service manager drove on 06/17 and stated problem reproduced and would replace throttle body. This was done and I picked up on 06/21. 06/23 at approximately 204 pm car stalled again. . . Restarted after putting in neutral unable to come to a stop vehicles behind us. . . Restarted when restarted engine missing again when pushed gas the transmission seemed to make a clunk noise and stalled again. The vehicle without notice stalls and is a great safety issue and after last stall the rpm seems to rev up some. This is a major defect and life threatening defect. Vehicle randomly stalls & now revs rpms.
