NHTSA Complaint #11060970 — 2016 FORD FOCUS

I WAS DRIVING IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, DUE TO A BROKEN STOP LIGHT, FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES..WHEN THE DISPLAY INDICATOR BEGAN ALARMING, AND SAID "TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING, STOP SAFELY" THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS WARNING INDICATOR TO TURN ON, AND THERE WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO STOP RIGHT WHERE I WAS. I HAVE ALSO SMELLED BURNING COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND NOTICE THAT AT TIMES MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR IT SEEMS TO SHUDDER AND STAMMER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE GEAR SHIFT ALSO WILL NOT GO INTO DRIVE AND INSTEAD GOES INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING.
