TCM issues 2013 ford focus

When I first got my car in 2022 , the check engine light came on and my car would almost stutter/jolt when shifting gears . They replaced my transmission as it was covered under NYS lemon law . I got a bunch of maintence done last year and I had them check up on my transmission because it had been shifting weird again and they noticed no issues . They did new breaks , coiler packs , fluids etc and my car was driving smoother . As of two weeks ago , there was about 4 times my car hesitated about 5 seconds when I pressed on the gas to accelerate. Now the awkward jolt when switching in low gears is back and the check engine light is back on . I’m nervous I will need a new transmission again cause it’s similar symptoms to last time … I have been doing so much research that this is a reoccurring problem for my car and am hoping if it’s an issue Ford can work with me even tho I saw the most recent 150,000 mile or 10 year warranty on my car has expired. Calling the dealership tomorrow but I use my car for work , as in , I drive around and transport people . I am a job coach . If I need a new transmission I will not be able to afford to fix my car and may have to leave my job . Any advice or words of wisdom with this POS car ?
