The automatic transmission in my 2010 ford escape started "flaring" between 2nd and 3rd gears last september a month after i bought it. "flaring" is a term used by ford to describe when the transmission delays shifting between gears and the engine revs until it finally shifts. The dealer has worked on it several times and the problem continues. This has not really been a safety issue until two weeks ago. It started…

My 2010 ford escape has slammed violently into gear while being driven a total of 5 times. The first time this happened, my wife was driving and she thought someone had hit her from behind and she actually hurt her neck because the jerking was so violent. Three of the 4 other times that this has happened have not been as violent but it just happened again about 2 weeks ago (at about 11,000) miles and it was very…

I am concerned that the vehicle has other problems that they are not fixing with the…
