OT, but since you seem to know about Ford fixing problems with their products, what's up with Ford resolving the issues with the new 8 Speed in the Edges/Nautiluses slamming in gear going from park to drive. Dealers have been told "Do nothing, keep checking Oasis, we are working on it." Been a while now since the "working on it" was pushed out.
TSB has been released with revised software for Edge/Nautilus 8F57 shift concerns:

Summary
This article supersedes TSB 19-2288 to update the Title, Issue Statement, Action Statement, and Service Procedure.
Issue: Some 2019 Edge/Nautilus vehicles equipped with an 8F57 transmission may exhibit a harsh upshift and downshift, harsh engagements when shifting from PARK to REVERSE, PARK to DRIVE and/or REVERSE to DRIVE with no DTCs present. These harsh engagements may result in an engagement clunk from the driveline. The vehicle may also exhibit a 4th to 5th gear upshift flare. This may be due to various powertrain control module (PCM) software parameters for harsh engagements when shifting from various shifter selector positions. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to reprogram the PCM.
Action: Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all the following criteria:
• 2019 Edge/Nautilus
• 8F57 transmission
• Customer complaint of one or more of the following symptoms with no DTCs present:
- Harsh upshift or downshift
- Harsh engagements when shifting from PARK to REVERSE, PARK to DRIVE and/or REVERSE to DRIVE
