Description of the problem	Previously, due to the transmission shifting into reverse while the gear selector is in "d" drive, i backed into a female pedestrian hitting her and almost running her over. There are still scratches from her rings on my back bumper. Ford has performed numerous tsb's and recalls to "fix" the issue. Upon the most recent tsb and recall update, i was promised it would take care of any issues, including an issue where the vehicle would shudder and search for a gear before engaging and spinning out from a complete stop. After driving it for 30 miles, i noticed the engine running rough, shaking, and slowing down while in idle. I stopped for a refuel. I got back in the vehicle and calculated my mpg's as i always do - only 19mpg, which ford says is "within spec" as long as it is not more than 8mpg off. (the on board mpg calculator shows 22. 7mpg - always incorrect). It should be 26city, 36hwy. I placed the gear selector in "d" drive (as was also referenced in the on board screen). Once pressing the accelerator, the vehicle's in dash screen flashed that i was in "r" reverse and the vehicle lurched backwards. I braked, then the engine revved and went automatically back into "d." i drove 2 blocks, at a speed of 40 mph in "d," it again switched to "r" revving the engine, then slowed to a stop. I pulled over, turned the engine off and waited before turning it back on. The drive home, it would jump between gears "searching." i let it sit overnight, and today it has not exhibited these actions. I'm uploading a photo showing the car doing 35 in the "r" position with the rpm jumped up to 3500. I was actually going forward. In "r," car should not go over 20mph. This is evidence that it switched mid "d" drive. Also, the tires are starting to form pits and has a circumference of separation/splitting which dealership said is "fine." this is causing a vibration and whirring noise.

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?
