The wrench light on a Ford Escape means there's a powertrain issue, causing the car's performance to be limited. If the engine or transmission has a problem, the light will come on, and you should get the vehicle checked promptly. Older or high mileage cars are more likely to experience powertrain failures, leading to potential overheating of power components. Ignoring these warnings may result in the vehicle running in safe mode until the problem is fixed.
