Ford Escape 2015 Se 136000 miles
Car runs and drives great. Not had any problems till now. The obd port doesn't work. So I can't have the system checked. But I have changed the breaks and abs sensors. And still the same problem.

My BlueDriver claims that both rear wheel speed sensors have wrong part installed. I've read that i need to remove and clean, cross reference part numbers that are etched on them, also check wiring and anything else related to them. I haven't attempted this yet. First, i need to fix the battery drain issue and then emissions issues, then the abs will get its turn.
CommentElectrical, random no start trans position sensor low voltage
Ford Escape 2013 Se 2.0 4x4 220000 miles
Was driving and car shut off. Tried plugging in scanner and it had power but wouldn’t communicate. Ecm relay was clicking multiple times. Towed to shop. They replaced fuse box and now it will operate normal most of the time. There is a code for transmission range sensor that’s located internally. Opened up trans and replaced. No change. Car will randomly think it’s in D as soon as you insert the key to start it. Turn key off and on and will usually start. Sometimes have to turn key off and wait for the display to power off and then it will start. Also when shutting engine off it will engage starter for a split second and make contact with fly wheel to abruptly stop the engine.

Instead of putting it back together that night I threw all the pieces in a box and drove. The overdrive cable that connects to the shifter kept coming off. I took my truck to a transmission shop requesting that they check it by it wouldn't shift: and after having it a week and still not even lifted the hood I got it out of the shop with the same issue still but they re hooked my overdrive cabl… Read complete
