Automatic Transmission Cooler problems of the 2013 Ford Escape

I purchased my Escape with 50,000 miles on it, within a few months I had a low coolant alert- I was told at the dealership they did not replace the cap correctly after an oil change, they flushed the lines and couldn't find any leaks so the cap was replaced. I had a low coolant warning again and my coolant was replaced at home, and then another warning shortly after, again replaced, coolant clearly leaking from under car but no leaks could be identified. Then. . . Driving on the highway at 70mph "transmission fault" warning- pulled over. Car was shifting normally, restarted and the warning was gone. Took to dealership and was told they pulled the code: "for tcc judder, which is because the torque converter is slipping under any load, and there is a hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gears. " was told I needed a transmission overhaul (car has 64,000 at this point. ) brought the car home and in the driveway it started leaking transmission fluid. Opened a case with Ford and was told they "decline assistance" to help with repairs. Brought to 2nd shop for 2nd opinion and was told: transmission fluid was completely burnt, transmission overheated at some point, this caused the cooling tank to crack explaining the disappearing coolant problem I had been having since buying the car, no explanation why the transmission would over heat. Car serviced at Ford regularly and was not heavily driven. I have had the car for 10 months at this point and will be paying thousands for a new transmission that failed with low mileage.

My 2013 Ford Escape sel has the 1. 6l v6 engine and is saying that it is over heating and giving me a p1299 code. I have replaced the thermostat it still gives me this code. I can let the car sit for several days and turn it on and it will immediately say that it is overheating. I can clear the code out of the system and drive the car for several days to a week with no problems. This issue happen with approximately 98,000 miles on the vehicle. I have researched online and the 2013 Ford Escape 1. 6l engine has a recall on this issue but according to my VIN number my vehicle does not have this recall. Engine and engine cooling recall number 12v551000. I also have an issue with my vehicle hesitating. I will be driving and the rpms will bounce up and down then it will tell me there is a "transmission failure". After it sends that warning message the vehicle will run fine. I have had this issue since I have purchased the vehicle with approximately 40,000 miles on it at that time. The dealership told me there is nothing they can do about it that Ford recall it but there is no way to fix it. Again I have researched and they have a recall on this with the 2013 Ford Escapes but according to my VIN my vehicle does not have this recall. Electrical system:wiring recall number 15v813000.
