Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2002 ford escape and was driving on the freeway when the overdrive off light started flashing. i pulled over ,but was not able to reengage the overdrive. continued the commute home and the transmission started shifting roughly, and then the check engine light came on. i was able to drive it to the dealer, where they told me i would needed a new transmission. i took it, ,,(by this point the vehicle wasn't driveable and had to have it towed to a transmission shop near my home. they stated that i would need a new transmission, and that this seemed to be a common occurrence for ford escapes. they said that a vehicle at 90000 mileage should not have the extensive kind of transmission damage that this vehicle did.*ak
