I'm not sure but I feel like there might be an issue with my ford escape transmission. I bought the car in not even 2 years ago and now I'm being told that I either need new transmission or to have mine rebuilt and this doesn't seem right'.how is that a car that is barley 3 years old, and bought brand new needs a whole new transmission. I am concern because I have a child and I am currently pregnant and my car is slipping in out of gear while driving.
