Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing transmission pump failure, often linked to issues with the torque converter seal, which can lead to a complete loss of movement in the vehicle. This pump failure may result in the transmission clutch burning out, necessitating urgent attention. Additionally, owners have noted symptoms such as strange noises from the transmission, a burning smell from the fluid, difficulty shifting gears, and the illumination of the transmission warning light on the dashboard. In severe cases, these issues may require a transmission rebuild or replacement to resolve the significant damage caused by the pump failure. It is crucial for owners to monitor these warning signs and seek professional assistance promptly.
