If your Ford Escape cannot operate in reverse a problem associated with the car's transmission is the culprit. Check for a broken band a gear selector switch issue, a faulty TCM or a shift solenoid failure.The TCM is an electronic mechanism that collects data from the transmission, interprets signals sent from other parts of the vehicle (i.e. Throttle position sensor, turbine speed sensor, fluid temperature sensor, etc.), and helps to regulate the gears shifting. The replacement cost of a transmission control module will be anywhere from $500 to $900. You can expect the parts costs to be around $450 to $700 while the labor costs will be around $50 to $200. Of course, you can order a new TCM online and ask a mechanic what their hourly labor rates are.
Is this a part of the recalls!! I checked so I know certain things r! Need to schedule car for recall fixes!
