★ Top Answer
If your Ford Escape is having trouble going in reverse, it could be a problem with the transmission. Look out for issues like a broken band, a faulty gear selector switch, a malfunctioning TCM, or a shift solenoid failure. The TCM is a device that gathers information from the transmission and interprets signals from various parts of the vehicle (such as the throttle position sensor, turbine speed sensor, and fluid temperature sensor) to help with gear shifting. The cost to replace a transmission control module can range from $500 to $900, with parts typically costing between $450 and $700, and labor fees around $50 to $200. You may also consider purchasing a new TCM online and inquiring with a mechanic about their hourly labor rates.
