 This is my 2nd Ford in 5 years and my 4th transmission.I had a Ford Fusion that had a transmission fail 1,500 miles past warranty and was stuck 250 miles from home.Ended up working a deal with a Ford dealer in Los Banos and bought a 2010 Ford Escape with 38k miles.3 months later the transmission failed.Got a new tranny from factory (no cost) and now a yr later it has failed again.Dealer looked up history and learned this will be the car's 4th transmission.There seems to be a lot of forums and posts about how bad Ford's transmissions are.Car is no good if the transmission doesn't work.Wish I limped into a Chevy or Honda dealer down in Los Banos.
