NHTSA Complaint #11688257 — 2014 FORD ESCAPE

Vehicle hesitates when shifting mainly from secon to third gear and hesitates to accelerate. The rpms go up but not going any faster and then jerks. If I was to try and pull out onto a highway there is no way the car will accelerate fast enough. Took it to the dealer to see if they could check a previous recall item to see if it was maybe defective and they would not look at it unless I paid 220 dollars for a diagnostics even though the recall was for the transmission shifting cable bushing. This has been happening since I bought the car about a year ago which wa previously owned by an elderly person that got it from the dealer with 35000 miles on it and it now only has 50000 miles on it and the dealer could not tell me what else was fixed on the car. I have read about the same issues with tje same transmission that I have amd the dealer does nothing to help. It is the 6f35 transmission. There are no warning lights on and no codes popping up. The transmission fluid has been changed and was not dirty along with the filter. I am afraid that when I go to accelerate my car will not go fast enough and hesitate and possibly cause an accident. I have read many of the same complaints about this vehicles transmission had I known about them before I got the vehicle I would not have bought it as the dealership is not helpful at all. This happens everytime I drive the vehicle especially going from a complete stop to going.
