What could be wrong with my 2008 Ford Escape?

Added (1). First off, I know very little about cars, so I will try and explain the issue as best as I can. I noticed yesterday after travelling uphill behind a slow vehicle it had trouble getting back up to speed. Later that day, a light came on my dash (wrench symbol). It has trouble accelerating where the speedometer only goes to 40, and then slowly drops. While the RPM is like 3 when trying to accelerate. I'm taking it to the dealer on Monday and they will need to scope it. Does anyone have any idea wh

Added (2).. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? My fear is the transmission. I know Ford had a recall on there Electric Power Steering (EPS), could it be related?
Any advice and insight would be helpful.

This car was bought used at a reputable dealer, there's no warranty anymore. It was purchased about 5-6 years ago.

Well anything really. I depends on the description of the problem…

  • My mechanic put 5w30 oil in my ford ranger instead of 5w20. What could go wrong? Took my 2007 2.3L ford ranger in for an oil change, and they put 5W30 oil in it instead of the 5W20 that is shown in the book. Will this cause any problems, should i call them and have it changed/?
  • I have a 99 ford ranger that won't start. What could be wrong with it? None of the lights work, lock buttons won't work, absolutely nothing works. I tried jumping it and that didn't work. The truck doesn't make the clicking noise when i try to start it. I know nothing about cars. I just want a general idea of what could be wrong. I don't like going to mechanics without a vague idea of what could be wrong. I've had mechanics do a lot of stuff that didn't need to be done and it costed way to much
