That's the one and only issue we had with ours. There seems to be a low speed noise around 10mph/1500 rpm affecting some owners. For us it was transmission related and ended up with a new transmission. For some it was related to vibration in the park release cable. It seems many have build...

Check and see if one of the splash shields underneath came loose. The splash shields are those fiberboard things underneath - like the large one in front you need to remove to change oil. My 2014 Focus had this odd thumping sound at 50mph+. It turned out the rear driver side splash shield...

Rust proofing is kinda useless IMO Minnesota is heavy on the road salt. Our 2013 Escape has 190k mi / 315k km. There's a little rust around the bottom edge of the driver door and little on the edge of the hood however no perforation. My old 2005 F150 at 250k mi/ 402k km when I got rid of it...

Here is the link to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls#vehicle Here you can enter Year Make and Model The TSBs are under "Manufacturer communications" One tip I will add. Since the BS and the 2020- Escape are mechanically similar I found...

I have a 2.0 EB in wife's now daughter's 2013 Escape with 190k on it. It makes no such noises. Same with the 2.7 EB in my 2018 F150. You need to try another a dealer and/or call Ford customer service in regards to the dealer who said they would charge you to investigate a potentially...

I According to them, this happens on late model F-150s with 10-speed autos and is expected. In the other 'noise' thread, @Midgiesbronco also said it sounded like the transmission pump. Well I have a 2018 F150 with a 10 speed and it makes no such noises. When they replaced the transmission in...

We ordered Jan 9 and took delivery April 16 BB+BB and tow package. This was before the chip shortage really started to hit the fan. So your sales consultant was probably about right in saying fall sometime.

If you have your window sticker at the very bottom you will find the “born on” date. Our is 3/19/21.

The people loading and unloading don’t really care. Not their job. The same transmission has been in use in the Escape for a little over a year with no major issues. I don’t believe it’s a design defect. There is likely a defective internal part that made its way into a batch of...

We drove it around quite a bit during the long weekend. Yes - completely resolved the major noise issue as previously described. In fact seems to be quieter and shifts better overall. There still is an intermittent driveline noise around < 10 mph-ish when holding 1st gear. Sounds kinda like...

We put about 1400 miles on before bringing it in. Probably okay to drive around locally. Maybe avoid long road trips.

If it sounds like this it’s very likely your transmission. I just had mine replaced under warranty. Thanks to BSideBootLeg over on the ‘On this episode of is this noise normal thread” who captured the exact noise I was hearing perfectly. Dealer might try and tell you it’s the shift cable...

The Ford service “hotline” is an internal line used by the Ford techs to consult with Ford main service department or engineering for repair issues. I always suggest when taking a vehicle in to insist on a ride along with the service writer or tech. This way everyone is on the same page...

I don’t believe more problems occurred. Probably two separate unrelated (?) noises that coincidentally overlapped with one another. The new transmission fixed the main low speed noise that was clearly not normal. During testing the new transmission the tech picked up on another drivetrain...

That never came up in our discussions however I suppose if some internal part totally failed it would leave you stranded somewhere.

Update - there might be some helpful info here for some. Picked up the BS today 1 day short of it being in the shop for 4 weeks There might be 2 different noises some are hearing. 1 might be a normal variant one is not normal and transmission related. I think mine has been gone through as...

These things are frustrating to say the least. Myself and family have owned exclusively Fords for many years. A few minor things here and there however really not much in the way of major issues. Pretty soon Ford will have more into the warranty claim than what the vehicle is worth. They...

It's getting to that point. So the new transmission fixed the main problem as previously described. Was hoping to pick it up yesterday and ride off into the sunset in the Bronco and live happily ever after. Get a text indicating a new noise/problem developed while testing the new...

I don't know the specifics of my case. To my knowledge it's been described exactly how it has been described previously on this thread. Went for a ride along with the service writer and he immediately agreed "it's not normal" The video you posted is exactly how mine sounds - dead on the...

I'm hoping they have it finished up today. Supposedly Ford is requiring testing and validation before they release it. Fine by me. I have three other vehicles to drive plus the loaner they gave me. Prefer to not have to bring it back. Perhaps a batch of "Monday morning" or "Friday...
