2002 Ford Escape O/D off light blinking. Please help.

Asked by MarcieB Jul 29, 2014 at 08:28 PM about the 2002 Ford Escape XLT AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2002 ford escape and I am getting a flashing o/d off light. I have not even put
25,000 miles on it since I bought it. It has almost 178,000 miles on it. The tranny was
slipping a couple of months ago and I took it to the shop while I still had extended
warranty on it. They said the tranny checked good. Evidentally they were wrong. It revs
up to between 3k to 4k rpm before it shifts out of 1st. Seems like it is missing 2nd. any
help would be great.
