Ford Escape Problems (A/T tranny)

**resty89** · August 5th, 2010 10:39 PM

Hi guys,

I am really newbie here and really looking for some help.

I bought a second hand automatic Ford Escape 2003 xlt a month ago and I must say that it is really a good buy... but... Yesterday when my wife is driving it, she called me and told me that the car has a big problem;

- ayaw humatak
- tried to switch the 4x4 pero namamatay pag tinatapakan ang gas
- tumutunog yung transmission pag tinatapakan yung gas - parang nag slipped
- as in sobrang hina ng hatak forward and backward

kakapalit lang po ng ATF nito 2 weeks ago for the same reason, mahina humatak, hindi makaahon (sukat exit) at kapag pa atras hirapan din..

ano po yung the best na gawin? I know na syempre pa check but of course I need all your inputs para naman po meron akong idea. sana hindi malala yung problema nito..

pasensya na po sa new thread, i was unable to find specific thread related to Escape's common problems.

thanks!

I'm no expert, but maybe there's a leak in the tranny? I mean, fluid, so it could be leaking out of somewhere, since you mentioned you just changed it.

maybe you used the wrong ATF?

Thank you guys sa mga reply nyo!

*hajabah - fluid leak? I have checked it under and no signs of fluid leak...

*mda_ -wrong ATF? i hope so but its hard to imagine coz before changing the ATF, the car has already the same problem

*adapilado - thanks dude! i will definitely register on the link!

Guys thank you sa inputs nyo! i really do appreciate it.

I tested the car this morning and seems ok naman pero kapag umiinit na yung makina parang feel ko na humihina yung hatak at lumalabas yung na mention ko na problem

... hayyyy..

IMHO, Baka type of fluid ang problema mo dito bro.... Kasi sabi mo pag uminit humihina ang hatak.... Ang oil kasi pag uminit ito ay numinipis kaya nagkakaroon ng loose compression sa engine....

Type of fluid - baka nga sir tama kayo ni mda_, merong type of fluid nga na naka required dun sa manual, I am not sure kung anong type yung nilagay dun sa shop, itatanong ko bukas para ma check ko rin sa manual kung tama ba yung ginamit nila. Tapos isa pang nakita ko dun sa manual nya na naka bold leters eh yung fluid level, para daw makuha yung tamang level nya eh kelangan mga 30km yung tinakbo ng makina then saka kunin yung fluid level kase iba daw pag malamig at iba nga pag mainit. eh for sure hindi naman tumakbo or umandar ng matagal yung escape nung pinalitan ng ATF. So siguro check ko rin yung level based dun sa manual.
Hayyy hopefully ma solve na ito..

Salamat!

Wow! bago ito sa pandinig ko.. ATF3.. at least meron akong masasabi pag pina check ko sa shop, im going to bring the car today ATF change, meron namang warranty yung shop. So from what you guys are saying it seems that the problem is not really that big, at least I can smile now!
