Questions About 2018 Ford Escape’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Escape towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Escape is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Escape's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 Escape’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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford Escape? Yes, your Ford Escape can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Escape ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
