THE TRANSMISSION IN MY FORD STARTED TO "SLIP" AT 48,000 MILES. NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE TRANSMISSION JUST "STUCK" - STEPPED ON GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WITH THESE TRANSMISSION IN THE FORD. THREE MORE TIMES AFTER THAT I HAD SIMILAR SITUATION. TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THERE WAS NO FIRST OR SECOND GEAR. THIRD TIME THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED OPERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD - NO ABILITY TO MOVE AT ALL. FORD, EVEN WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY, WOULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CONTINUED TO SAY IT WAS A "CODE ISSUE." UNTIL THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, THEN IT BECAME A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. VERY UNSAFE. VERY CONCERNING. *TR

CAR STALLS SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING APPROACHING STOPLIGHTS AND LUNGES INEXPLICABLY AND RANDOMLY BOTH WHEN STOPPED AND WHEN MOVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN BUILDING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AND HAS BECOME A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AT SOME POINT, WE WILL END UP REAR ENDING SOMEBODY OR HITTING A PEDESTRIAN AT A CROSSWALK. WHILE BRAKING SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE SURGES IN THROTTLE, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO REACTION TIME AS THIS PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND FREQUENT AND AT SOME POINT IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
