"While driving escape at approx 70mph the overdrive sensor ses light came on and engine was making a whining noise. stopped and borrowed a scan tool from a local garage we know. codes p0741 and p1744 for tcc were found. drove home approx 40 miles."

"Code p0741 (torqur converter clutch circuit performance stuck off) comes up. transmission slams when putting into drive or reverse and then almost stalls."

"Check engine light has been on since the beginning of 2014, always for the same code p0741. car does not drive properly at highway speeds as the torque converter does not lock up as intended. this in turn causes much lower fuel economy than the vehicle is capable and advertised to get. (23."

"The transmission torque converter failed on the 2014 Ford Escape. Transmission is causing safety issue by not properly accelerating when gas pedal is pressed. This slowed movement could cause traffic crashes. Engine revs to high RPM but torque converter does not engage properly."

"The contact owns a 2014 Ford Escape. The contact stated while at a stop light, there was a loud abnormal noise coming from the vehicle with the Transmission Fault Service now message displayed on the instrument panel with DTC: P0741 (Powertrain Control Module)."
