Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2021 Ford Escape

This vehicle has had transmission slipping issues since I bought it. I had the pcm flashed and reset but it still jerks and slips out of gear all the time. The car actually stalled on me while turning through an intersection. This almost cause me to be t boned via a car crash. The transmission has already been replaced and still malfunctions. When it stalled there were no lights and the car would not go into neutral unless you pulled the emergency latch for it. This is a huge safety issue and from what I read a lot of people are having the exact same problem. Ford is just giving me the run around and my local dealer literally acted like he didn't know what I was talking about when I mention the new service bullentin. This transmission has clearly been an issue since the vehicle was new according to service records. The fact that Ford isn't reaching out to people is nuts to me. They are also saying it may be over miles for the work to be covered. I really don't understand that as the transmission was replaced with only about 75000 miles on it. That's not normal. They are not honoring any work on an item they built poorly.

Recall 23s27 (NHTSA 23v-380). I do not feel that Ford is offering owners a safe or effective repair, leaving serious risk of injury or death. 1. 7/2022. Recall 22s47. “engine oil and/or fuel vapor may leak and accumulate” which “may ignite resulting in an under hood fire, and increasing the risk of injury. ” 2. 8/8/22. Ford media to upi, “in the event of an engine failure” above issues may occur. 3. 5/26/23. Recall 23s27 acknowledges, “engine could fail prematurely,” leading to the above. 4. 5/26/23. Nhtsa part 573 safety recall report: cause identified. “isolated engine manufacturing issues have resulted in 2. 5l hev/phev engine failures involving engine block or oil pan breach. Likely driving “final solution” (paragraph 7). “in the event of an engine block or oil pan breach, the hev/phev system continues to propel the vehicle allowing the customer to continue to drive the vehicle. As the customer continues to drive after a block breach, oil and/or fuel vapor continues to be expelled and accumulates near ignition sources”. 5. 2023. “23s27 chronology rmisc-23v380-7289,” links recall 22s47 with 23s27. Vehicles which had undergone the repair specified by 22s47 still had issues, and Ford engineers confirmed block breach and correct 22s47 repair. “repair” for 22s47 did not fix the underlying mechanical problem. 6. 6/6/23. Autoblog: “per Ford, the “manufacturing issues” include poor machining of the engine crankshaft and contamination of engine block mating surfaces during assembly. ” “2. 5-liter engines . . . With defects “could be ticking time bombs. ” 7. 5/24. “software is now available to repair [affected vehicles]. ” dealers will “update the powertrain control module (pcm). ” this will not fix the problem. I respectfully request NHTSA investigate and compel Ford to provide the correct and proper mechanical repairs necessary to prevent block/oil pan breach in the first place.
