I was stopped on a side street waiting on traffic so I could pull out onto the main road. There was a break in traffic and when the break came I pressed on gas peddle car too off then stopped pulling car. I'm sitting in middle of a main street that is very busy and the car would not move, transmission just spinning motor racing and cars head towards me at high rates of speed. After police show up help me out a bit. I try going again and after bout 45 min or so. Car started fine took off normally got on to interstate and now transmission is slipping, jumping jurking. Tried reporting to Ford, but they say my VIN # belongs to a different year to call back with right info. Every I have says 1 year Ford has another.
