3 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Transmission slips. When trying to enter the freeway, there is no pull, I've nearly been hit twice because of this. Told the dealership and they said they couldn't duplicate problem so they wouldn't fix it. Everyone I know who owns this same year and model has experienced the same problem. One person complained enough that the dealership said yes there was a recall on a part in the trans. Mission,and they replaced it. I can't get g. M. To verify this. Also, the trunk lid has no hydraulics to keep the lid up and if the wind is blowing just right, it slams shut. It has hit me in the head twice and once on the bridge of my nose and also, it has come down on my brothers nose. I sure hope you can help.
