SOMETIMES IT SHIFTS VIOLENTLY AND JERKS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE FORWARD.  OTHER TIMES IT SEEMS THAT IT SIMPLY WON'T SHIFT INTO GEAR WHEN FIRST STARTED.  LAST MARCH I WAS WAITING FOR A TRAIN TO PASS SO I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK WHILE I WAITED.  TWO OR THREE SECONDS AFTER I PUT IT IN PARK, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE JUMPED FORWARD A COUPLE FEET.  IT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME SINCE THE TRAIN WAS MOVING AT 60+ MPH AND WAS ONLY MAYBE TEN FEET IN FRONT OF ME.  WHEN THE TRAIN PASSED I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND IT DIDN'T ENGAGE.  I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND MOVED THE SHIFTER THROUGH THE GEARS.  AFTER THIS IT WORKED AGAIN, BUT I WAS WORRIED.    I NOTICED TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE RADIATOR AREA THIS MORNING.  I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE ANYWAY SO I TOOK IT IN TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION / AC COOLER THAT IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.  I CALLED FORD ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T GUARANTEE WARRANTY SUPPORT, BUT THAT I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A FORD DEALER FOR THE REPAIRS.  BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ, THE WARRANTY IS NOT GOING TO COVER IT SINCE I HAVE 51,000 MILES ON IT.  THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT BIG O TIRES GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE FOR $512 FOR THE REPAIR WORK, WHICH IS MUCH LESS THAN WHAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN PAYING.  BUT IN THE MEAN TIME I HAVE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD DUE TO TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING ON COMPONENTS BELOW THE ENGINE.    I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT THESE EVENTS ARE SOMEHOW RELATED.  ESPECIALLY WHEN FACTORING IN ALL OF THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE FOUND EASILY WITH SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCHES.  UNFORTUNATELY, IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE BEING HIT BY A TRAIN FOR ANYTHING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.  FOR NOW I AM GOING TO WAIT UNTIL I TAKE IT IN FOR MY APPOINTMENT AT THE FORD DEALER.  CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT MAKE A VEHICLE SAFE TO TRANSPORT THEIR FAMILIES IN THEIR EVERY DAY LIVES. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2008","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"ESCAPE","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
