I recently bought a 2008 escape with 99k mi. It had a crack on the cover of the tranny pump and leaking fluid. The car shifted and drove perfectly before i changed the tranny pump. Now it will not shift into any gear. Will not even push while in neutral. I let the car run to reach temp and checking fluid shows full.  Is it possible to install the new pump incorrectly causing this problem ? Or should i check other things ? 

Is anyone else disappointed in the Quality of the Interior Trim (Plastic)of their 2020?? The one we looked at on the Dealer Showroom floor, the Black Interior had a Glossy finish to it. Expected the same when ours arrived. The Black is Dull, like flat black. The Dealer said they detailed the one on the showroom floor with Armour ALL. Well I use 303, quite using Armour All years ago. After two coats of 303 which made it shin but after sitting for a day, its still dull. Dealer showed us several others on the lot, and he was correct......DULL!! The Active-X seats have no luster to them either even after detailed.  Very Very disappointed in the Interior Quality. Our 2017's SE Interior was by far way superior. Also our 2017 SE had a Digital Dash standard. Now even with our upgrade to a SEL, its an extra cost for the Digital Dash. We then compared the Paint thickness to our 2017 as it did not have that smooth, flowing look.....what a huge differance! We paid extra for the Rapid Red which is a tricoat and is supposed to be thicker. Well after checking over 30 spots ends up 1/3 less thick than our 2017. This is our third Escape and probably the last. My daughter and a friend where very interested in the 2020 till they saw the issues with ours. Ford keeps cutting corners on Quality but keeps raising the price. They are screwing themselves.

2005 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 It is not charging properly, while running every once in a while I will see voltage goto 14.2v using a multimeter on the battery posts, but is not consistently showing that while the vehicle is on, even with revving the engine up. Most of the time it will just show the battery voltage ~12v. Does this seem like PCM or Alternator issue?

I recently have seen spots underneath mid section of 2012 Escape.  It is gasoline. Took it to 2 shops. One says leaking from filler hose but need to order the whole filler tube costing 222 for part.  Another mechanic says no it's leaking at neck of gas tank( that yellow plastic part) says need new tank.  I found a filler hose ( just the hose) on a website for $40 so not so sure if being told the right info.  I'll put in pic.  What do you think?

There is a hissing noise coming from passenger side floor board when the defrost is on in the heat setting only. When I turn setting to the vents, the hissing goes away. When the setting is split between defrost and vent, the hissing is still there. Ran the AC and fan through defrost and vents and no noise. 
  Any ideas what it could be? 

I just purchased a new 2020 Ford Escape SEL 2.0.  The SUV is great but the single horn is terrible.  I live in north NJ and unfortunately have to use my horn a lot to wake up the idiots on their cell phones. Please help, my dealer has no solutions.
