Consumer Description

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP YESTERDAY AND MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. I PULLED OVER QUICKLY. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT KEPT JERKING FORWARD WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FOR ABOUT A MILE UNTIL I GOT UP TO 50 MPH AND THEN IT DID THE SAME THING. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. THE COST TO REPAIR IT IS $325. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AT 74,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO. THE PART NEEDED IS ON BACK ORDER WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO DO A RECALL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE AND WILL NEVER BUY A FORD VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR
