Carrier/rack problems of the 2001 Ford Escape

When vehicle is at a stop with the brakes applied at either a red light, stop sign, or traffic, the car jerks to move forward. This does not happen all the time, it has been doing this since the beginning of the year. Ford dealership replaced an abs ring that was cracked. They said, this is causing the vehicle to move forward because the abs is trying to engage.

I purchased a 2001 Ford Escape from commonwealth motors in richmond, va. After purchase the dealership was to inspect an issue with the reverse lights as they wouldn't go out. After the vehicle was brought back I noticed a piece of rusted metal fell from around the door panel. I looked underneath & discovered massive corrosion & rusted crossbars, frames, gas tank, shocks, etc. Everything under the vehicle was rusted. So, I contacted the dealership and expressed my concerns and was told that the vehicle runs so I should be happy. Well, I felt my safety was in question so I began some research. What I learned was the vehicle was not purchased from "carmax" as the owner stated, but that it was purchased from "carmax auction". So I contacted them and luckily got a copy of the bill of sale. To my disbelief the bill of sale states this vehicle has frame damage. So I equipped with this bill of sale, met with the owner again. He said the car doesn't have a frame, thus this was an error. He would not agree to reason and told me I purchased it "as is". As the days went on more and more began to fall apart. Less than 60 days after purchase, the transmission shifted because the brace was rusted away causing the components within the transmission to crack so I had to get it replaced/rebuilt. Mechanic says the transmission was hanging down & amazed it hadn't fallen out. The corrosion was so bad he had to weld a new brace to hold the new transmission but it is welded to the front bumper bar because nothing else will support its weight. The subframe cradle cracked 2 days before recall 14s02. I don't have another vehicle so I had to get it fixed. Is it possible other parts are are built with the same material as the subframe? my car is like a cavity that was left untreated. It was purchased in ohio where it resided for years. I feel lost. I have before and after pics.

Vehicle had a recent recall 14s02. Ford installed a bracket to correct the issue. The problem is that the whole car is corroded. I recently had an inspection done and was told that I would not pass inspection as the frame was completely separated from the rear control arms. So, I took it to a frame shop to learn that my car should be condemned. That there is no amount of repair that will fix this. That it is beyond repair at this point and I should not drive it. I was told that per the recent recalls for corrosion this should be reported. It is a definite defect and based on the year of the vehicle this should not be happening. They suggested that something more complex is wrong here. Even the work performed by Ford isn't going to hold up because it's too badly rusted and there's nothing to hold it together.

Briefly, the transmission fails to shift upon acceleration above 50 mph, this has caused 2 near collisions on I-95, tire split open & roof rack blew off while driving (dot number: a3083jj390 tiresize: a3083jj390).
