Why is Your 2001 Escape’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Escape’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Ford Escape transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Ford Escape transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that your Escape isn’t working at all.

2001 Ford Escape Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ford Escape? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Escape’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my Escape's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Ford Escape’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Ford Escape transmission fluid leak? Yes. Ford Escape transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who fixes Ford Escape transmission leaks? When your Escape transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I still drive my Ford Escape 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 Escape to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
