2017 FORD FOCUS with 5900.0 miles
Stopped at traffic signal, began acceleration and vehicle became sluggish and clunky, revved high and would not shift properly. Shifted in and out of gear with periods of prolonged hesitation. Transmission fault service now warning sound and display. Came to a stop at the next signal and car lurched forward in several jumping motions and was difficult to control before coming to a complete stop. Car has 5900 miles when this occurred. Car towed to dealer where purchased, service "cleared codes, performed adaptive learn and test drive, code P2701-tcm states to remove clutch and inspect for wear" which was not done. Service found vehicle now is "operating as designed" at this time. If code returns tech will remove clutch for further diagnosis. Picked up vehicle and within 20 miles driving same code returned and symptoms were worse than 1st time, now with 5980 miles on vehicle. The vehicle was in motion when these problems occurred and was very dangerous while driving as there was no control over acceleration, shifting or stopping. Vehicle was towed back to the dealership for service at time of writing this description.

2013 FORD EXPLORER with 69000.0 miles
Vehicle is a 2013 Explorer xlt that was purchased new. It has 69k and is outside the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty. My wife commutes to work and drives the kids to school. We do not tow or haul anything with it. A few days ago she was pulling out of the driveway and hit about 20mph when it lost power and wouldn't accelerate (like it was in neutral). She pulled over and tried to turn around, but there was no reverse. Was able to get home with help from a neighbor. If this had happened on the highway or at an intersection the results could have been very different possibly resulting in injury or death. I drove it and the check engine light was on and "terrain management system fault light came on. It through a few codes P0756, P2701, and U3003. Had it towed to dealer and they ultimately are saying the codes mean that there is a mechanical failure of the transmission and it needs to be replaced to the tune of $5,800. I called Ford customer service and they have yet to do anything. I find it appalling that a 3 year old car with under 70k had a total catastrophic failure of the transmission and i'm expected to cover the entire cost.
