1 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2015

We own a 2006 Ford Freestyle and are only the 2nd owners of this car! we bought it in 2011 and are at our boiling point with it! the previous owners had to get the transmission rebuilt, we had owned the car for less than a year and had to get the transmission rebuilt again at almost $4,000! now 3 years after we fixed the transmission we are back at the same juncture where our transmission is causing us a problem again! I took it in because it was overheating and I ended up having to have the radiator and a portion of the water hose replaced at almost $1000! two days later I'm driving and as I pull off from a light I notice the car does a pretty heavy jerk forward! I thought I hit the pedal too hard so I didn't think much of it! but on my way back home each time I take off at a light my car is heaving forward and then it starts jerking a little violently and finally as I'm heading to the shop it starts stalling out and feeling like it's not catching gears to change! I have checked against other complaints for this same car and apparently this is a common issue, unfortunately, it looks like it's time for Ford motor company to step up to the plate and stop making your faithful car owners go for broke fixing an issue that is clearly a manufacturing issue/defect! they need to look into all the complaints and issue a recall and fix this problem once and for all free of charge! most people do not have thousands of dollars sitting around to fix their transmission every 3 years! we need our car fixed immediately as this is our only family car! please fix this issue for us!!!!!.
