Description of the problem	My vehicle began to exhibit signs of a failing transmission at 60,000 miles. Shifting was difficult, particularly between 1st and 2nd gear. A few times, it failed to shift from park to reverse at all. I had ford look at it, and they recommended replacing the transmission. When i took it in, i was around 60,500 miles, 500 miles over my power train warranty. They quoted a $7,000 fix. I had owned the vehicle for less than 2 years, and it was less than 4 years old. While i had records, including a claim number, for another ford customer with the same transmission (in the fusion) and same issues, they covered 2/3 of that customer's repair and refused to cover a dime of mine. After being dismissed, ignored, and ultimately placated several times by ford representatives, i finally was forced to take it to a third-party mechanic, who replaced my transmission at 61,000 miles for $4,000. Despite having a refurbished transmission in my vehicle now, i still experience transmission issues from time to time (difficulty shifting, hard shifting on freeway, etc.). In the end, this transmission is faulty at best, as ford's only transmission model without a recall yet. While ford indicates they have no official documented issues with the 6f35 transmission, a simple google search reveals that transmission failure is the #1 issue reported by consumers with the ford escape. As a young professional working in research, i recognize that internet searches can be misleading. To be thorough, i checked over 20 different ford consumer pages and of those pages, every single one showed a significantly higher report of transmission issues than any other issue, with the average mileage of these issues occurring around 50,000

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
