Transmission Stuck In Gear Problems of Ford Fiesta

This is my first new car and I thought I did a good job on my homework with the Ford Fiesta 2011 but I'm starting to have problems at 47,800 miles. First it was a recall on the "air bag" which I returned and the problem was fix as they stated. Secondly, I started notice from time to time the car would hestiate or get stuck in gear especiallly coming around corners. At one point the car was driving very sluggish and I express my concern to Ford and it was brought in immediately. The mechanic and myself took the car out for a test drive and as he drive he stated "I had to much air in the tires". . . . . . ( ?). On 7/8/13 the check engine came on and I'm thinking what could be the problem at 40,000+ miles once again I called Ford and immediately the car was taken in for service. I was told it a sensor issues and they would have to order the part but the car was safe to drive. Once I received my vehicle back I notice the check engine light was not on and the car was driving extremely sluggish and it seem to have no power. The car was taken back for service on 7/16/13 to have the sensor removed and it was placed w/ " rear oxygen sensor" as they stated. Looking back, once the sensor was replaced the car was not the same. It was little over a week the car was back at Ford due to wheezing, high pitched and faint sounds. The car performance was poor!!!! Ford stated the transmission. It still baffle me at 47,880 I'm having a transmission problem. . . . . . . I drove a rental provided by Ford until they fix my vehicle and I was given a call everyday rearding my vehicle. I pick up my vehicle on 8/2/13 and it stated " the tech removed and replace tranny" it doesn't say it new or extended warranty therefore I question the work that has been done on my vehicle?.

This vehicle, bought new in September, 2010, had loud sounds coming from the engine area. Ford has put 2 new transmissions in it. The 3rd repair attempt was diagnosed as a problem that "engineering has to come up with a solution". Ford, on two of the 3 repair attempts, sent out a field engineer to inspect the vehicle. The first engineer (on the 2nd repair attempt) said to put another new transmission in the vehicle, (the 2nd new transmission to be put in the vehicle). This still did not solve the problem. The problem, according to the service manager (on the 3rd repair attempt, 2 at one dealer, and this 1st attempt at another dealer, - third overall) said "it's the clutch. We took other cars out, and with the laptop, we were able to duplicate it on every one of them. " the duplication he was speaking of involves the transmission and it's clutch system, just introduced this model year of 2011 by Ford. It is the 6 speed automatic transmission, with a dual clutch. The situation is that when you come to a sudden stop, the transmission does not downshift to a lower gear fast enough. When you try to accelerate, after a sudden stop, the vehicle seems stuck in a higher gear. The car momentarily stalls before taking off. This is very dangerous when trying to cross lanes of a highway at busy times. We do not feel safe in it. We were told, in an email, by a Ford customer service manager, "as I explained to you on the phone the Ford engineers are aware and are researching a solution to your vehicle's concern. Your vehicle is safe to drive so you may continue to enjoy it while waiting to be contacted by (name wittheld) service manager at the dealer and myself".
