Got this from Ford: FYI 2/12 was the time frame they changed the transmissions they installed in the Ford Escapes built after that month. And those post 2/12 built Escapes ARE non-towable. My 2012 Escape was made in 1/12 and after I completed the recommended transmission fluid level decrease by the dealer, I have towed thousands of miles without an issue. Sorry about your pain, did you have the transmission fluid properly lowered on your vehicle, and do you follow the pre-tow tranny warmup for 5mins, and not exceed 65mph?
