Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE, THE CAR LUNGED AND I HAD NO CONTROL. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED IN THE FORWARD GEAR. FINALLY THE BRAKES DID WORK. THIS TIME THE LURCH WAS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT THE CAR ACTUALLY STALLED OUT ON ME. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND STARTED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND THE CAR HAD NO GET UP AN GO. RAN VERY SLUGGISH WITH NO POWER. TOOK THE CAR TO AUTO SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD IT WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. CALLED FORD DEALERSHIP WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD COST $6200.00. CAN NOT AFFORD THIS, BUT IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS WELL AS UNSAFE FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTERS TO DRIVE FOR THEIR LEANER'S PERMIT. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS????
