How can I engage the all-wheel drive feature in the Ford Escape?

The Ford Escape features an automatic all-wheel drive system, meaning it primarily operates in front-wheel drive but can switch to all-wheel drive when necessary. This adaptation is managed by the traction control system, which engages all-wheel drive when slippage is detected and reverts to front-wheel drive when conditions stabilize. Detection of slipping is based on abrupt changes in tire spin speed - if the tires spin in a jerky, uneven manner, the system triggers all-wheel drive. Some models may also incorporate a weight sensor to indicate when the wheels are losing contact with the ground.

The Ford Escape is designed to operate in front-wheel drive under normal conditions. However, if the vehicle begins to lose traction or slide, its all-wheel drive system will automatically engage to provide additional stability and control.

This automobile is the most disappointing vehicle Ford has ever produced. It's as if a total disaster of a car was created, and this is the result. I have already lost $12k on it, and it's still not functioning. I am trying to find a way to recoup some of my money. If someone could kindly take it away, that would be much appreciated.

Hey Calvert, can you tell me the age of the car and which shop is handling the repairs? With the use of effective troubleshooting and diagnostics, the repair shouldn't take more than one or two trips, and definitely shouldn't cost anywhere close to $12,000.
