Automatic Transmission Cooler Problems of Ford Focus

Message occurred on 8/8/2019 �transmission over heating pull over and allow cooling�. I was driving in stop and go traffic on clements ferry road, charleston so pulled off the road at truvalue hardware. I had been going into palmetto Ford to satisfy recalls outstanding. There was concern when I took my car into palmetto Ford when parts were available for other recalls. After the first repair for recall, I returned for the next recall and mentioned that the car had begun jerking when pulling onto roads and trying to accelerate and only began after the first recall repairs. There were a few times when the car just sat there not moving until the jerk would happen. Mr. Mount at palmetto Ford said that was how the transmission worked to change gears. I was still concerned and took the car to o'reilly for diagnostic reading. Attachment 1 is a copy of the message on o'reilly's diagnostic screen. The technician said he had never seen that message before.

I own a 2000 Ford Focus 2000 se 4 dr sedan. It was bought as new car 11/1999 and currently has 39500 carefully driven miles. Earlier this autumn an amber dashboard warning light came on as I was driving. At first opportunity to decode its meaning from vehicle's manual, I learned it was the 'automatic transaxle/cooling' warning light on ztec equipped models (like mine). I took it to Lincoln Mercury deal (where I have had my Focus repaired often): 'baron Lincoln Mercury' in flushing, new york where they performed a computerized check of symptoms. I was told service writer there were 'codes' which indicated solenoid and gear ratio problems in 2nd and 4th. I wasn't sure what all that meant but seemed like good idea to take advice and schedule another more detailed inspection for possible repairs; the earliest opportunity was around 10 days from that day and I took it. I should mention that the light had not continued to remain 'on' following the 1st time. I took my car to baron on a Saturday morning and on Monday following it, I saw same light to come 'on. That day I called local aamco dealer and agreed to have car looked at there the next morning where their computer found same thing. I agreed to let aamco open up transmission for diagnostic work-up and that afternoon was told that needed repairs totalling approximately $2700. I agreed to let aamco perform work after having first contacted the same service writer at baron Lincoln-Mercury who informed me that they very seldom did transmission work and that if they did it'd cost around $2700. Since aamco's specialty is transmissions, it made sense to proceed. I am a two time Ford customer ('96 and '2000) and won't permit the idea of buying another to cross my mind.
