Transmission Fluid Leaking problems of the 2016 Jeep Cherokee

I started hearing a grinding/screeching sound occasionally that sounded like it was coming from the front drivers side wheel. It was not constant and was not necessarily while doing any particular thing except driving. Sometimes occurred while turning but sometimes occurred while being on on straight away. Took it into dealership and they looked it over and let me know that it was the ptu that was leaking fluid and shards of metal. Then I read online about recall: for 2014-2017 Jeep Cherokees where the ptu has not been previously replaced, the auto maker's recall number is w47 and the national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA)'s recall campaign number is 20v343. And unsure why my VIN # would not be included in this recall.

I was approaching a dip in the roadway and a sharp left curve on a highway so I slowed down to approximately 20 mph. When I was in the turn I accelerated and the engine didn't respond. I let up on the accelerator pedal and then attempted to accelerate again. By this time I had slowed down so much that I was concerned about being struck by another vehicle from behind. For the third time I attempted to accelerate and this time the engine responded. There was no check engine, check transmission or any other warning that something was wrong. I continued to drive the vehicle at highway speeds. About 40 miles after the previous issue, I attempted to accelerate to pass a vehicle and the engine again did not respond several times. At this point a check engine light illuminated and so did a service transmission dash board indicator illuminated. I then exited the highway and stopped at a red traffic signal. When I accelerated to proceed through the now green traffic signal, the engine revved up and the car moved at a very slow speed. It seemed to me as if the transmission was "slipping" or was in a much higher gear than it should be in. I had the Jeep Cherokee trailhawk edition with a v6 engine flat bedded to a near by Jeep dealer. This Jeep had only 800(eight hundred) miles on it. I was told by the dealer that a transmission hose had not been connected properly causing transmission fluid to leak out. I feel there should have been some sort of indication that the transmission fluid had leaked out. I believe that I shouldn't find out that the transmission fluid leaked out the way I did. I feel this is a very dangerous design. When I press down on the accelerator pedal I expect to be propelled forward. I was told by the dealer that the vehicle responded as designed. They said it was a "fail safe". This vehicle is designed with no transmission dipstick to check the level of fluid.
