I have a 2022 Ford Edge with catastrophic internal mechanical failure of the 8F35 8-speed automatic transmission and torque converter assembly.

A month ago I rear ended somebody. I take full responsibility for this. However the crash alert did not go off. Yesterday I was driving down the road in the dark at about 6:00 AM, by myself, nobody else around and the crash alert went off for about two minutes saying that I was about ready to get into a wreck. Ford did look at it two weeks ago, they had one of their techs walk around it make sure that the crash alert would go off and apparently it did.
Rear power lift-gate sensor activates and causes lift-gate to close while reaching into of out of vehicle. Has occurred 20 + times.
