Went on a spring break trip to Arizona. Left the escape in a parking lot for a week. Had a great trip and came back expecting to go home and relax. Got in the car and drove 3/4 of a mile down the road. Stopped for a traffic light. Light went green and got on the accelerator to get going and the engine just held and revved while in drive, all of a sudden i heard a noise that resembled a large frying pan hitting the ground and the vehicle started to move. Got out and looked underneath it, and nothing there. Started driving and it sounded like someone was wailing on the side of the block with a ball peen hammer. Pulled into a parking lot and checked everything over and nothing was obviously broken. Went back to the hotel that we left it at while on vacation and got a room.
Took it to the Ford dealer the next morning and the mechanic diagnosed it with a broken transfer case. Had to leave the it in another state for repairs for a week and get a rental car to get home.
