Scotty,
During the last two long distant drives in my 2018 Escape it begins to "vibrate" going up "mountains" at speed. I notice it only after driving 300+ miles.
The first trip from the "flat lands of Ohio" to Ft, Benning Ga. it seemed that when I took the curves it became much more pronounced. On the downhill side it operated normal. I pulled off for 30 - 60 minutes, check the tires and whatever fluids I could and nothing out of the ordinary was evident. I continued the trip, another 300+ miles and the episode repeated. This occurred over and over unless I was on flat terrain.
After arriving back I took it to the dealer since it was still under warranty, after $250 and a week, they couldn't find anything wrong.
Fast forward to the latest trip, "flat lands of Ohio" to United States Military Academy, West Point NY and the "issue" was apparent again.
Vehicle details:
2018 Ford Escape Titanium with Tow Pkg
Miles now 53, 217
Tires new 15,000 miles ago
Transmission fluid and oil changed prior to latest trip.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated,

Next time don't post your personal data on this forum.
I can just about guarantee what your problem is. It's the transmission starting to go out. What happens is when they get hot and they get strained and there's a full load on them then they start acting up. I see it all the time on those. And of course the dealer never wants to admit anything because that's a small fortune repair and they never want to fix those free. If I were you I would take it to a transmission shop and get their opinion and if they say it's a transmission Ford would have to fix it if it's still under warranty
