Was driving on interstate without any issues as I was exiting interstate and stationary at red light vehicle begain to shake and vibrate making a grinding nose and vehicle stalled. Restarted vehicle and in motion was fine as I begin to slow down and stop to make left turn on to my road vehicle again begain to shake and vibrate and almost stalled again. Problem as been be diagnosed as bad transmission.
I was pulling out onto a main highway and my car jerked as I pressed on the accelerator and next thing I know I am in the middle of the highway and my car does not go forward, just stops and still running while two huge trucks are coming from both directions, thinking quickly, I thought the car may have reverse. Well, thank god it did and reverse I went. I had to drive home in reverse and call chapman Ford to come and pick it up. My vehicle is still there and they have to take out the whole transmission. I am very shaken and am too scared to get back into the car. I have never felt like this before and have always bought a Ford for safety reasons, but this has made me feel very, very unsafe.
