THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED AFTER HAVING CAR FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. TOWED TO DEALER FOR WARRANTY WORK AND THE SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. YESTERDAY, WAS TRAVELING AND, AS BEFORE, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL (GEAR INDICATOR ON DASHBOARD LOOKED LIKE A SLOT MACHINE) AND WHEN I COASTED TO A STOP (MORE THAN ONCE ON A TWO LANE ROAD WITH NO EMERGENCY LANE), IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF, IT THEN HAD TROUBLE STARTING, AND WHEN IT DID RE-ENGAGE INTO GEAR, IT WOULD RANDOMLY GO OUT OF GEAR AND WE "LIMPED" HOME GOING LESS THAN 25 MILES AN HOUR HAVING TO STOP A HALF DOZEN TIMES HOPING THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION WOULD RE-ENGAGE LONG ENOUGH FOR US TO GET HOME. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE IT WOULD DISENGAGE AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR EVEN ONCE I STOPPED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IN THE RURAL AREA WHERE WE RESIDE, THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE TIME WHEN IT DISENGAGED, WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR, ON A CURVE OF A TWO-LANE ROAD WITH NO EMERGENCY LANE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE FIESTA HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS SINCE 2011 WHEN MY PROBLEMS FIRST BEGAN. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT APPEARS TO BE SYSTEMIC TO THE VEHICLE IN MANY CASES. AT THIS POINT, IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
