 My 2009 Ford Escape has been plagued with transmission issues for a year and a half now.I experience shift flares, hard and harsh shifting, and even times when it can't shift out of first gear.It will also frequently slam into gear when going from P to D or R, causing the entire car to shack violently until banging into gear.After the TSB updates, i get much worse gas milage and the tranny issues have increased.Now i get hesitation in acceleration when coasting or yielding and pressing the accelerator.It's extremely dangerous when making a left hand turn and the car is unresponsive for a few seconds.I have almost had 5 accidents due to this.This car is extremely unsafe.
