I was traveling at 70 mph when I heard a noise, the transmission quit working, I had the vehicle towed to the dealer. He called and said the snap ring popped out of the servo case causing the transmission to fail. They repaired it and said it was fixed, started home and got 15 miles when it blew again. Had it towed back and they tried to repair it again but said they could not , needed a new tranny. I questioned them that a 51,000 miles, the part should not have failed, they could not give me an answer. I took it some where else to be repaired. The person said that there is to much pressure that it blew it out. I feel that the part was defective. **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768335.

With no warning the automatic transmission on our Escape failed completely at 44,130 miles. So far, no financial assistance has been offered by Ford or the repairing dealer dispite attempts by me to get relief for the $2700 repair bill! we have had a loud noise coming from the drivetrain since about 18,000 miles and had it checked at 25,000 by our local Ford dealer. The dealer insisted that it was only tire noise. . . Which while very sceptical, we accepted with the caveat that when we eventually replaced the tires, the noise would be gone our we expected the vehicle to be repaired at no charge. Since the transmission's very premature failure, we have revisited the powertrain noise as we now suspect its source may have caused the transmission failure. Both front wheel bearings have been changed, the wheels and tires have been substituted and the very loud noise continues. Two Ford dealers have inspected the vehicle and no one yet has an idea of what the source of the noise is now! this truck is a true lemon and I think Ford should be stepping up to the plate to fix and pay for this problem as well as all or most of the transmission repair!!!!.
