Vehicle maintained according to manufacturers recommendations. My 2014 Escape started to stop shifting gears and accelerating. The car did this a few seconds then seemed to drive normally. I drive it in forward and reverse when I got home from the loss of acceleration incident. Reverse caused a thunk sound. After that the car seemed to drive normally. As the manual calls for a trans flush at 150,000 miles, I had that service performed. Mechanic said no signs of trans wear. Trans module looked alright. I drive 30 miles to work, mixed city and highway driving. Problem reoccurred. Barely able to drive through an intersection. Pulled into a safe spot and turned vehicle off. Waited a few minutes and the car seemed to drive well. About 5 minutes later, I get to work and the car will not drive. No warning lights. No codes. It is now at an independent trans shop as the 5 Ford dealerships I called were booked out 4 weeks for service appointments. The vehicle will be looked at in 2 days. Will update later.
