My 2012 Escape does NOT have front and rear under shields as in this video. It has only a front shield. Also, in the video, all retaining bolts on the shields are easily accessible. One bolt on my 2012 is far to the rear, really high up, and almost impossible to get to unless the car in on a rack.

The first 1 1/2 minutes could be reduced to about 15 seconds. Use Haynes manuals. Not sure about web-based content, but the manuals seem to "assume" too much. Could be far more explicit in detail.

How do o replace the transmission interlock? There is no indication on Haynes manual

I will never buy a Ford again. This is crazy. From now I have to make sure that there is a dip stick to check engine oil as well as transmission fluid.

My Escape 2011 will be flat towed behind my motorhome. I believe there is a technical bulletin for these cases? Can you explain ? Thanks

Am I able to use Mobil 1 transmission fluid? The bottle said it can be used by ford vehicles, I have a 2011 Ford Escape.

If you need a manual to show you how to open the bonnet, you probably shouldn't be servicing your own transmission.

Probably best to do every 30K. But, since this is for 2017 and it's now 2023...

[traceyjones]

Car is supposed to be hot and running .
