Erica contacted the dealer and return back to me in 5 minutes stating the three out of pocket cost was my only options. No escalation was offer beside wirting a note to the as customer service dept. I request the name of te Ford zone manager for se michigan and she could not provide the contact. Transmission failure twice with less than 68k miles. The vehicle would lunge when coming to a stop. Upon take off from a stop, it would have very little power or high rpm's & move slow causing safe driving issues. Placing the vehicle in drive (from park position, the vehicle lunged forward. . . Rough, clumpsy the whole time we have owned. Very disappointed in Ford, Ford product adn Ford authorized dealer service work. This vehicle is a lemon and should be a law protecting consumers from such faulty Ford products.

I purchased a 2003 Ford Escape a couple of weeks ago. I drove it 8 days and 650 miles when the transmission went out. It was towed to the dealer and has been there for 6 days. I am requesting from Ford an extended warranty on the vehicle which they are unwilling to provide. They are fixing the direct clutch which failed. I do not think an extended warranty is unreasonable. I know gm would provide one should the situation be the same.
