Hi Everyone,
I own a 2019 Ford Escape Titanium, and I still owe about $4,000 on it. Last weekend, I started hearing a horrible grinding sound coming from the front end, along with some shaking while idling. Today, my mechanic told me they’re unsure whether the issue is related to the engine or the transmission.
To investigate further, they said they would need to pull the transmission, which would require about 12 hours of labor and cost around $1,000.
I’m really torn about whether it’s worth looking into this issue further or if I should consider selling the vehicle. Has anyone else experienced something similar with their Escape? I’m at a loss and could really use some advice.
