2005 LAND ROVER FREELANDER Power Train Problems

HARD SHIFT 1ST AND 2ND GEARS AND MAJOR POWER LOSS CANNOT EXCEED 35MPH DUDLEY WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY IT WOULDN'T EXCEL

I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR SHIFTS INTO EXTREMELY LOW GEAR (MAYBE 5 MPH), F4 FLASHES, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE, HILL DESCENT CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT UP. ONCE I CAN MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I CAN TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT LESS THAN 5 MINUTES AND THE CAR STARTS WITHOUT ANY OF THE LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 42,000 MILES WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED - ONE MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS, I'VE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES BECAUSE IT IS NOT DEPENDABLE. THEY CHANGE A SENSOR, IT'S OK FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS, THEY CLEAN OFF PARTS AND IT'S GOOD FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF MONTHS THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT RUNS FINE WHEN IT IS WORKING! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS,...
