2002 Ford Escape XLT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O/D light flashing on reverse.
Sudden surge in RPMs with foot on the brake.
Rough shifting.
Sudden surge in RPMs upon creeping forward or parking. All intermittent problems - never constant.
Ford put a rebuilt transmission in the other day, picked up thevehicle yesterday pm & the same problem this am! Brought back to Ford dealer.
I have Ford extended warranty so I did not have to pay for the transmission (only a deductible).
What can be the problem now? Ford computer will not read the code on O/D flashing light this am.
Very sad, I miss my Escape.
General comments?
I really like my Escape & I'm anxious to get it back in good working condition.
