It will not shift in to gear

This vehicle is at 48800 miles and I started to receive the following warnings/errors on my dashboard when the problems began: "hill hold assist not available", "service advancetrack", ABS fault and airbag failure sign lights remain while I was driving the car. After these warnings I lost power steering assist and pulled over and restarted the car. However the warning signs did not clear and I lost ABS, traction control and airbags. I have contacted with a Ford dealer to diagnose the problem. Error codes they got from the car were C0031 and U0401. The first one is related to a short wire in the ABS wheel speed sensor at the driver side front wheel and this part was replaced at the dealer. However, after replacement all the mentioned warnings/errors remain and U0401 code remained. Dealer does not know whether these are just from communication error from the computer or these parts are actually defective. I am not able to use the car right now. In any case, all of the affected systems are not related with drivers driving habits, storage conditions and other things related to the usage of the car and seems like a manufacturing problem, even if it is a communication error or wiring problem. And the affected components are vital so if there is a production error, this should be resolved as soon as possible.

Madison, wi, West beltline hwy, headed West bound in middle lane, Jan 21, 2017, 11:00am: At 60 mph on 6 lane hwy car suddenly slowed to a crawl. A wrench icon appeared on the driver's dash panel with statement "check owner manual". as car slowed to a crawl (but did not shut off) was able to maneuver in traffic safely to the breakdown lane w/O control of car other than steering (auto steering continued to function). I pressed the accelerator but no response. This was repeat of a similar incident on Jan 11. Turn off car, waited 1 minute and did a re-start (much like my desk top pc. Immediately drove to middleton (wi) Ford dealer who had worked on car previous week (Jan 13-17) for same failure (a bent wire found). During the Jan 13-17 period the dealer in a road test experienced the same failure. Left car with dealer for a 8 days while out of town. Dealer could not repeat failure. Apparently discussed with Ford hq. Was told the file would be kept open and the bring it in again if it failed. My wife now calls car the "death trap" and refuses to ride in it!
