#72 of 81 Escape hoot by 2hills

I have had my 2010 into the ford dealership and had a snubber installed in the transmission as per TSB11-7-23. We took the car on a road trip the next day and had a lot of stop and go traffic and the "hoot" has gone away. I hope this is a permenant fix because its nice not hearing that noise any longer. I love my escape again.

Well I have been driving my 2010 escape now for about 3 weeks and do not have the hoot, but the transmission is noisier than it used to be, probably the snubber has something to do with it.

Just had the "subber" fix for the hoot noise done on my Escape AWD and so far so good. The noise is gone. If it comes back I will post it.

#75 of 81 "Snubber" fix for the "Hoot" noise. by emar4

I meant "snubber". It took six hours to put in the piece. They had to take the transmission apart. It is supposed to keep the transmission chain "taut" so that it doesn't make the noise.

#78 of 81 Faulty Transmission Escape '10 by normak2

I just had the transmission in my '10 Escape rebuilt. It had 24,000 miles on it when it began to have just a slight hesitation when going at highway speeds. They checked the fluid and said it was awful so scheduled for a rebuild. Said it would take a week. Well, guess what...parts were back-ordered from Ford. So well over 2 weeks later, I finally have my car back in the garage. Also had to have the module for the heating/cooling system replaced. Also the alternator pulley had to be replaced due to a rattle. All of this at 24,000 miles. I am disgusted. I also had to get to my 3rd loaner car before I had one that was decent.
 
My fear is what else will go wrong with this car? I'm retired and never expected to have to have these challenges so soon in the ownership. It was a one-year-old Ford lease car. (one "owner" only) so presumed it would be in good condition. Feel let down!

Odds are, if it was a lease car turned in within a year, it was a buy back or lemon, or the owner just got tired of the problems and turned it in on another one, which is costly to do. Or, could have been a repo. Anyway, they don't make 1 year leases routinely - I think you got someone else problem. These issues are NOT normal for an Escape. I've had 9.

Did you ever resolve your clicking noise problem?
