2010 explorer pcm / transmission problems

2010 ford explorer pcm problems
Purchased a 2010 FORD EXPLORER ,Eddie Bauer,in August 2012. Vehcile ran fine until June 2013 when we started having problems with the service engine light staying on and the transmission not shifting correctly( powertrain malfunction light comes on). The vehicle has been to the dealership at least once a month with these same problems. Finally on 19 December vehicle was left with the dealer. Supposedly they found electrical problems and replaced a solenoid for the second, possibly the third time. I was told it needed a new PCM , but dealer could not obtain one until mid february. Vehicle was picked up on 30 January after dealership called and said it was fixed. After picking up vehicle, returning to work and then leaving for lunch on 30 January both the service engine light and the powertrain light came bak on after 10 minutes of driving. Returned to dealer and was told about the PCM not being available until mid February and that a "like pcm " was used as a replacement . The vehicle shift hard at random times, the engine and tranny both seem to be working hard , high revs, after 2 days the powertrain light has gone out, engine light is still on though. Any comments I do not believe the vehicle should be driven with these problems , but the dealership(Clinton Ford) says they were told by Ford manufacturing it would be okay to operate. Any suggestions, or other people who have had these problems .
