Place a tReplace component after the source and as mentioned above configure that component. The output of that component will not have the escape/special character. Put a tLogRow component as the output to tReplace and you can check the result.
Once confirmed, put the real output component like DB output or flat file output
Cheers.

Have you tried with tReplace component?
While using it, please uncheck 'whole word' option.
Input Column: Column where this special character has to be removed
Search: The character to be removed (here it is "\"" )
Replace With: ""
Whole Word: Uncheck it ****

I had the same problem in a tmap and .replace(" \"", "") worked fine for me.
