Transmission Fluid Leaking problems of the 2016 Ford Escape

Just as my car reached 61,699 miles, the transmission fails. On March 29, I was driving on ridge rd in oak ridge, NJ and stepped on the accelerator going up a very slight hill to maintain my speed of 40 mph, but the car just started slowing down to a stop and would not move forward. As a matter of fact, it started roll backwards down the hill and I had to immediately step on the brake. The direction I was going in was on a single lane road and there were cars coming behind me. The engine was still running but the car would not engage or move. The engine was revving but no movement. In fact, the car started to go backwards into the other cars behind me. I immediately stepped on the brake to avoid hitting anyone but was not able to move the car out of the road. Someone came out of their home to help me back my car into his driveway while I called a tow truck. My car is still in the shop at fette Ford in clifton, NJ. They wouldn't even help me with financial assistance being that I was only 1,699 miles over the warranty. Is it normal for a transmission to go bad immediately after the warranty? I am an essential worker. Also, my car was in the shop on 3/2/20 before this happened for what they call the works where they check � tire rotation and pressure check � brake inspection � vehicle checkup � fluid top-off � battery test � filter check � belts and hoses check after a certain amount of miles. They did not properly seal the oil plug because oil was leaking out of my car after I left them and I hadn't noticed until my husband told me. I would think they should have been able to catch anything wrong with the transmission. It was very busy the day I went in for the works and it took hours to get that done.

I've had this car for a little over 3 years and have been on time with every single normal upkeep and maintenance service. It currently has 87,000 miles on it, and while driving home from work, I felt the car shudder when I tried to accelerate, the gears slipped several times, and the engine would alternate between revving when I was barely touching the gas, to not going anywhere at all when I had the pedal to the floor. I had to have it towed and was told that it had major transmission issues. Mechanic said that there was a gasket that failed and caused a transmission leak. And thanks to the design transmission fluid is not something that I can check myself.

I just bought this 2016 Ford Escape in October, 2018. It made it until Mar. 2019. No warning light, nothing. It has 78,000 miles and the transmission blew. They are telling me at the jensen Ford dealership that it will cost 6,508. 00 due to all that is wrong with the transmission. When it gets hot it leaks transmission fluid badly. It took only 2 days and no warning and it blew. Now I can't pay for it, Ford will not pay for it and I believe they should.
