Transmission Solenoid problems of the 2014 Ford Escape

Wastegate solenoid needs replaced, we have replaced so many parts on this vehicle and had to have the transmission replaced as well. We should not have this many problems with a vehicle that's only 5 years old. We also had to replace the transmission shifter cable after it left our vehicle completely disabled in a town an hour away from our home. We've also replaced the coolant bypass solenoid. These are all known issues and should have been covered by a recall but our vehicle, even though it matches the recall specs exactly, our VIN # was not listed on the shops oasis sheet so we've paid for all of this out of our own pocket. Ford needs to do the right thing and reimburse everyone that has had to deal with these issues and pay out of their own pocket for a known issue that have been recalled on several of their vehicles already. The recalls obviously need to be expanded to reflect the true numbers.

Car stalling, cutting out, missing a gear and shifting very hard, while driving. This went on for a while before the check engine light came one. Dealership had to replace coolant bypass solenoid, said it was recalled on vehicles like mine but my VIN didn't show a recall even though the engine, year, make, model, build date, build location were all identical to the recall. Vehicle still shifted very hard, like it was missing a gear, advised by dealership to have transmission rebuilt. Spent just under $4,000 to have both repairs done. Had repair completed in August 2019 after dealing with the issues for nearly a year and being told that was just the way the car drove because of the turbo charged engine. No codes ever populated so was told everything was as it should be. Only when the check engine light came on, would they even acknowledge that there was an issue and even then tried to say it was just the solenoid as no codes were coming up for the transmission issue that had been going on for years! I've been told Ford knows about the transmission issue and has the code cleared out with their software so it never shows when taken in for service. Not sure if that's true or not but still frustrating to have so many issues with a car that's not that old.

My 2014 Ford Escape drove fine until my husband drove it to work and was trying to back into a parking spot. The car wouldn't go into reverse. Later that night when he left work the car started shifting rough so had the car towed to prevent more damage. Was told by the dealership that I needed a new transmission at 116,000 miles. So I have been working with Ford to see if they will pay all or at least half. Now 17 months later I have just given up on the run around with the home office for something that should have been a recall for bad parts and just paying for the fix. Either replacement toward planetary disk with solenoid damage. Or new transmission.

I purchased my 2014 Escape eco boost used in mid 2015. It was 1. 5 years old with 74k miles. In December of 2017 the transmission completely stopped shifting with no warning or indication previously. I stopped to get gas one night and took back off and it slipped in second gear and never reengaged. There were no warning lights or code indicators showing on the dash and there was nothing in the way it was driving and shifting previously to make me think there was an issue. It literally just happened all at once. The repair consisted of a complete rebuild. The pressure control solenoid, tcc solenoid, bushing and bearings were replaced totaling an out of pocket $2900. 00 on a vehicle that was less thank 4 years old. Upon further research I have found that this seems to be a common issue with the eco boost and there is even a recall on the 2008 Escapes. As well as some of the 2017 models.

Just purchased a certified pre-owned 2014 Ford Escape se. A yellow check engine light appear. Trouble code p26b7 (dealer specific). It looks like there have been numerous issues with the bypass coolant solenoid or coolant leaks. Also, steering wheel controls only occasionally work.
