2013 Ford Fusion Power Train

The car is experiencing jerks between gear shifts. Almost hit another car due to this car movement when it shifts between gears

The ability to stop quickly. Car jerked forward causing me to veer off the freeway. If I had not veered off, I would have ran into the back of the car in front of me. (Unaware of any problems with vehicle as the vehicle is stored more than driven) I brought the vehicle home and parked it because of the clucking noise. The recall repair on the vehicle did not fix the problem. Now the vehicle has a transmission failure just approximately 11,000.00 after the recall repair was closed out.

Automatic transmission issues. When putting car into reverse, the car pauses and then jumps into gear very hard. When driving down the road above 2k rpm, the car will drop into first gear, pegging the rpm gauge and throwing you forward. Only way to resolve is to pull over and cycle power. This happened multiple times with cars almost hitting me.

While driving, the clutch is beginning to slip in from 1st- 3rd gears. I feel as though this could be a safety issue if the transmission gives out all together in traffic. This problem has been inspected and confirmed by manufacturer. There were no warning signals prior to the failure and they began to appear around 130,000 miles. Ford has a recall for the SAME models with the EXACT same issue (recall number 18s07), but not with my 2.5 L engine. This seems completely unfair as I have the EXACT same transmission and obviously it will have the EXACT same issues. Therefore, I would like a total coverage for the repairs as it has already been identified as a manufacturing issue of Ford.

Just before the December holiday, my car was making a notable noise. My local mechanic has diagnosed it to be a transmission failure at 99k miles.
