Ford Escape, Mariner, Mazda Tribute defective transmission cooler

Ford Escape, Mariner, Mazda Tribute defective transmission cooler Tube. Duration : 5.28 Mins.

Carquestions investigates transmission fluid leaks on a 2008 Ford Escape / Mariner, Mazda Tribute and discovers what would best be described as a "defect in materials or workmanship" or in other words a manufacturing defect. This defect is most likely to occur close to or after the 3 year warranty has run out. Ford's 5 year extended powertrain warranty won't cover it and the cost to repair it can be 0 to 0 since the air conditioning will need to be evacuated and recharged since the transmission cooler (the part that has been found to be defective and leak) is combined with the AC condensor.
