AFTER OWNING THE NEW VEHICLE FOR THREE MONTHS IT STARTED RANDOMLY SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL. AT FIRST, IT DID THIS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP (WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS, LEFT TURNS AND MERGING). IT NOW DOES IT THEN AND IN ADDITION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS - 50+. IT ALSO AT TIMES HAS ENGINE SURGES WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP. IT ALSO SURGES AND HESITATES AT 45MPH TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AT TIMES CAUSING SUCH A SPEED VARIANCE THAT IT WILL SHUT CRUISE CONTROL OFF, SLIP INTO NEUTRAL AND RAPIDLY DECELERATE BEFORE CORRECTING ITSELF. THERE HAVE BEEN 5 REPAIR ATTEMPTS AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THEY SENT IT HOME WITH ME UNTIL IT DOES IT "ALL THE TIME" OR BREAKS DOWN. *TR

IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A PARKED VEHICLE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 TO 50 MPH NONE OF THE AIR BAGS WERE SET OFF AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT HOLD THE DRIVER BACK AND HE WAS THROWN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL BENDING THE STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN. *TR
