problem #1

Apr 212019

Escape SEL 4WD 2.L I4 Gtdi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,000 miles

Driving about 75MPH, accelerating up a hill. I think car tried to shift and it juttered a bit and then felt like it shifted into park. Tires squealed. Almost lost control. Transmission gave up and engine red-lined. Coasted to a stop. Displayed engine fault light. Waited a little while, started back up and drove fine. I tend to notice a little jutter around 3K RPM every once in awhile but this is the first time the dang engine seemed top drop out of the car at highway speeds...

Have very little faith in my dealer but going to try to get to the bottom of it..

Update from Jan 25, 2020: had the wrong mileage posted. 58000.. still no fix or able to find diagnosis.

definitely easy to hear a "growly" sound between 2400-2700 RPM. dealer can't hear it apparently..
