I contacted Ford Motors and opened a case re complaint and it was met yet again with a refusal.This car is still financed with Ford credit and I contacted them also but never got anywhere with them either. At the time of problem, my vehicle was at 93,200kilometers while the warranty goes to 100,000.kilometers! I then learned that even if this car is 2011, it could not go under the warranty since the car was purchased in December/Nov 2010. I contacted the dealership in Ottawa where this vehicle was purchased.

Afterwords, I learned that there was absolutely nothing that could be done other than a full replacement!! It did it 2 times after which I immediately called to have it towed to the nearest Ford dealership in Ste-Agathe,QC. I was frightened since at my place, there is a steep area not far from the parking area. That morning when the transmission went out, I had placed the automatic transmission to R and the car instead of going backward, it started to go forward.

That letter specifically said that the automatic transmission could revert to a manual transmission being dangerous while driving.!!! I never had any visual sign on the front panel indicating that there was a problem and furthermore, there were 2 recalls on this vehicle and the second one dealt with the ' colonne de direction' and the electronic component of the automatic transmission. When the seal of the transmission went off ( yes, I was told by my mechanic that the seal went out, all transmission oil went out and the Transmission burned out !! I started to pay for quite a few repairs, replacements etc since le last 2 years. This Escape 2011 was a real lemon and a VUS with a multiple and serious problems both mechanical and electronic. I have been a customer of Ford/Lincoln for a few decades. The company either the dealership took their responsabilities for this LEMON ! This car WAS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND OTHERS AND HAD TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROADS ! If anyone can help me to recover the money lost from this very bad company who is so eager to take our money but at the same is also eager NOT to respect their responsability as a manufacturer of cars. I have just read about the latest report on the 2011 Ford Escape and I am appalled to see that the Ford Company did not replace this car for me ( a lemon car) after some 40 years of buying cars with Ford and Lincolns. Since this car was not in a position to be back on the road, I had to return the car to the company.I have lost a good amount of money ( around $ 25,000.00), was out of a car for a full 4 months, went through a depreciation of my credit rating to the lowest (9) because this car had been returned and finally after 4 months was able to purchase a used car ( which I never did in the past and it is a 2009 year car Mazda 5) at 30% rate of interest. Moreover, when the car was at R, the car was moving forward and at D, the car was moving backward. After the transmission burned at around 57,920 miles, Ford refuses to meet their obligations i.e.
