Automatic Transmission problems of the 2006 Ford Escape

The 2006 Ford Escape has transmission problems due to a manufacture defect. I talked to a mechanic from Ford and he said that these transmissions are defective, on all Escapes, there are postings online where people are saying the same thing about their Escape. My Escape only has 65000 miles and it has the same issue, the Ford dealership says they cant pinpoint the problem so they have to just replace it. A Ford mechanic online sayed the casing weld internally is faulty making the transmission loose pressure. Other people online have posted the same thing happening to their tranny on their Escape, I would like to suggest that it need be recalled, its costing my family to repair the problem,when Ford is responsible for the defect on their faulty transmission.

For the third time in the past two months the gear shift on my 2006 Ford Escape will not move out of park. The dealer has replaced the gear shift assembly, checked the grounds, now is back in the service department. I truly believe this is a factory defect and not a one time issue.

SUV stalled could only get SUV to run from neutral. If moved gear shift from park to drive car would stall. Dealer replaced valve assembly-throttle air.
