Transmission Solenoid Problems of Ford Freestar

I reported to the dealer I bought the vehicle from the 2nd week I owned it that there was a wrench light on and it was flashing. They told me to come to the store and they would look at it,they discovered a solenoid had blown and they replaced it. They told me it was fixed but if it were to come back on that I should get back to them. The light would come on and off randomly,sometimes weekly,other times bi weekly and I called them each and every time. They sent me to a garage in biddeford that only replaced a spark plug and they called it good. I have been driving the van this way since June and despite the fact that the problem was brought to their attention,it now remains unresolved. I went to drive it 2 days ago,wrench light was on when I left,on the way home,the wrench light and engine light were on and it wouldn't shift. I couldn't go above 40 and prayed to make it home. I have no money for another car and would love to get a resolution to this soon. I am in a severe time crunch and can't afford not to have a car.

With no warning, the van began running rough and the rpm's would increase but the speed would not. Ford dealership diagnosed loss of 3rd gear, problem with valve body & solenoid. No financial help from either dealership or Ford. (no warranty) took van to transmission specialist, diagnosis: water from radiator leaked into transmission (manufacturers defect?) it will need new transmission and possibly radiator. Repairs have not yet been made.

The failure did not persist however; the contact was concerned that the failure would recur. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 106,050.
