There was a previous recall on the transmission shudder issue. This issue was resolved through a complete rebuild of my transmission, but this issue that should no longer even exist, due to new parts is still there. This is not something that should be happening. I think that my car should be replaced due to Ford's ongoing issue. I think they are using either used parts, or they know the parts needed to fix this issues are faulty as well and continue to do this to customers.

When I went to warm up my car the check engine light is on and the transmission doesn't work right. It takes a while to engage the gear and won't go past 30 mph. It shifts very rough. It has been doing this for a while now every two days now. I have done the tcm adaptive learning service in forscan and I have updated the PCM and tcm and ABS modules to the latest calibration. After the tcm adaptive learning it shifts fine but the dtc's will come back on in a few days. The dtc's are P2831, P2833, and P287B. I don't know what else to do? the battery and battery cables are fine.

The vehicle shudders in first gear and changes hard to second gear. The vehlcle was checked and was diagnosed with clutch problems, in which the company which had the car knew about.

I bought this vehicle late January of 2020, I was aware of transmission problems with this model but was assured that those problems were taken care of. Bought the vehicle and after my first trip longer than 1 hour I got an engine light and later a transmission overheating light. When driving the car at 55 miles per hour the car will act like I was flooring the gas pedal and will not do anything when I tried to increase the speed. The Ford dealership said it would cover the issues at first but now they are saying is not part of their warranty. The clutch needs to be replaced and the car is stuck in third gear. It will only start on the second try. The car has 53K miles and bought at 50K miles at 9K dollars.
