My vehicle started making a faint whistling / winding sound when being driven. Then my car would not drive any more while it was in the drive position . The rpm needle kept jumping as if it was being driven. I was pulling into my driveway when all of a sudden my car would not go. I stopped , stuck in the middle of the driveway. I turned the car off, waited for a min or 2 then turned the car back on, after that the car finally shift into gear, and I was able to park my car. The light finally came on saying tranmissions failure service now or something to that affect. So I took the car to Ford seeing how I was still under factory warranty, finally after a month , got my car back. They didn't replace the transmission just parts of it from what I was told -mans a hose for my heater. Now a few weeks later, my car is making the same noise.
