2018 Ford EcoSport Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Ford? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your EcoSport’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my EcoSport's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 EcoSport’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Ford. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Ford EcoSport leak transmission fluid? Yes. Ford EcoSport transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Ford EcoSport transmission leak? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for EcoSport transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Ford EcoSport if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your EcoSport to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
