Escape

  • 3,750 miles
The contact owns a 2011 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while reversing at a low speed in the driveway, the brake pedal was depressed and a loud grinding noise was heard. The vehicle then lunged forward when shifting from first to second gear, causing a clanking noise. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the tsb chip was replaced, and the PCM was reprogrammed. The contact was also informed that this was a common failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, as the contact also filed a complaint with them. The approximate failure mileage was 3,750.
