Has anyone's transmission mechanically failed?
I ask because I am a little harder on my truck than most but I know they are pretty durable even in New York City driving. Just wanting to know how guilty I should feel for offroading with it. I haven't found anything on the internet showing the transmission has mechanical weakness.

Haven't even read of one failing.

The only ones I've heard of being replaced were back in the "dark ages" of like 2008 and before when no dealers had any idea what was going on, I doubt any were true mechanical failures either. That being said, it would be interesting to hear from someone that had one with an actual failure.

Right, I don't think the transmission changed. I just think dealers and Ford didn't know how to diagnose some of them. Some of the ones I heard back in the day people were like the sky is falling and replacing transmissions and I look at it and think "did anyone even bother to check the blend door"?
As far as the 4wd, that is the weak link, but the price of it is low enough that if it goes out I can easily fix it and be money ahead on this vehicle over another. I just don't want the main transmission to go or any of the components inside like the motor, etc. |

The Escape "AWD" system has had problems, PTO overheating mostly, from the get-go. The latter systems have no driver input as a result. Useless.

No statistical evidence to back up his statement.
Why would anyone listen to someone who has such poor logic: "Because the Prius has a temperature gauge, it is prone to overheating. Therefore, thousands of Prius vehicles are stranded on the highway!" |

When you feed the troll he becomes more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Some say he can live for years just feeding off your pure delicious contempt.
