Hello all,
I leased a 2012 Ford Escape last November because It was made to be flat towed.
I made a few short trips with no problems but, last week I took it from NJ to South Carolina and in the way back home a state trooper pulled over to tell me that the car was smoking.
once I opened the hood I found that the transmission was extremely hot and the car wouldn't start at all, as a matter of facts the transmission got stuck in park.
I removed all three shafts and towed the car back home. I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow morning.
Now, if this car can't be towed, then I don't need it. What can I do with the rest of the lease? Do I have any right to fight this with Ford Motor Company?
Please help!
