3 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2015

Car lunges forward while stopped at intersections. While on a highway in traffic rpms remained high after the transmission failed to downshift for approximately a mile. While attempting to accelerate the transmission doesn't shift up and just doesn't go. Rolls backwards down hills while trying to go forward and makes a clicking sound. Car has a really bad shutter when rounding curves and turning corners and occasionally follows with the car not accelerating. Has been to Ford to be checked once already and was told it had nothing wrong with it and has a second appointment next week. I've only owned the car for 9 months and have put less than 10,000 miles on it. Sometimes the car feels like it will stall out while trying to shift up. When the car is parked can hear clicking in transmission as it rocks excessively on level ground. Car also appears to have no power when pulling into traffic from a stop and has almost been involved in several accidents because of this.
