Transmission Failure problems of the 2011 Ford Fiesta

My car transmission doesn't work properly, the info screen displays transmission troubles ,I tried to accelerate the car on drive and goes to 10 mph and doesn't change gears. This happens when I first turn the car on, going on a city street, after the car is turn on for more than 10 or 15 minutes then it works better but the message on the info screen still shows transmission failure, or trouble shuts.

The car constantly surges forward at dangerous speeds and won't slow down even when slamming on the brakes. This has happened over the years but is happening much more in the past year. This is a very dangerous problem. There were several occasions when I narrowly missed slamming into the car in front of me. I've also been thrust into a busy intersection. You must force Ford to recall and replace these dangerous dps6 transmissions before someone dies. They and you have known about this problem for many years and have been putting more than a million car owners and others at risk. Please do something now! while it has been happening over the years, the most recent near collision was in a busy intersection in chicago on July 8, 2019. Thank you. The transmission failure warning has gone on numerous times over the years and causes the car to slow to 5 mph until the computer is reset.

Driving on the freeway going normal speeds the "transmission failure" message popped up on my dash and the car started viscously jerking. The car had trouble stopping as if the brakes couldn't function properly cause the transmission was out. My car would fiercely jerk forward when I was coming to a stop that I then noticed I had to stop further back than normal in fear of the car jerking forward to hard and hitting the car in front of me. When I finally parked and was ready to go to a well lit area the car started up perfectly normal and the transmission failure message was gone. Took it to Ford and they couldn't understand the severity of the issue due to the fact that the car basically "fixed itself. " I then asked them if it is going to take someone getting into an accident for them to recall the transmission on this car and they only told me "there's nothing they can do about it". They saw an issue and told me it would be approx. 3 thousand dollars to fix the car is only 2 years old. Ford also told me the car isn't safe for me to drive on the road. Yet they don't see that as a reason to not recall the cars to get it fixed since I'm positive my car isn't the only one that has done this. I guess myself almost getting into and accident and causing injury to myself and others is not a good enough reason for them.
