SOURCE: 2005 ford escape. The ABS light is on and 4x4 flashing

You need to remove your tyres and clean the abs sensors well enough.

You might also change your brrake pads if they have gone bad.

SOURCE: P0750 and P0755 codes on a 2005 Ford Escape, 6

All I will tell you is, that any time you have transmission
issues,you have to stop using the vehicle immediately

It doesn't matter what the situation is with transportation
or appointments,your vehicle has priority over everything

If not, your going to end up pulling it out & your repair bill
will start at $1,500 & go up

Both those codes, as I suspect you know, appear to be
shift solenoids & you don't exactly have a premier trans
to start with,mazda I believe

I would suggest a trans repair shop

Engine light flashing on and off, runs rough when accelerated. really runs rough. can;t drive very far afraid it will break down. I live 20 min from the nearest parts store.

Hi Sherri,

A flashing (check) engine light might be due to a direct engine misfire. This may be a Type A misfire due to the flashing engine light. This can be severe and can cause "mechanical damage" to your car. It can ruin your catalytic converter, though you might also want to have your spark plug and spark plug boots checked to see if they should be replaced as well.

It would be best to bring your car to a mechanic and have it checked.

Thanks,
Lyza

Flashing engine light on ford freestar,engine is running very rough at higher rpm

A flashing engine light usually indicates a misfire or several misfires. If the ignition components (coils, wires, distributors...) some how become exposed to moisture it is possible to get a rough running engine due to misfire(s) cause by arcking.
