Speed Sensor Problems of Ford Fusion

The vehicle was in motion on I 85 in alabama traveling approximately 70miles per hour. I noticed the vehicle started jerking,the speedometer started fluctuating, until I lost speed control. The wrench light was on. My vehicle had 70,000 miles;driven approximately 20 miles a day. I made the decision to turn around and go home driving in the right lane with no speedometer or a speedometer that would start fluctuating while my car was jerking. I took the vehicle to my local Ford dealer. The diagnostic codes were 070/071/072. They told me no warranty and it would be $1,000 to fix the transmission speed sensor. Unfortunately I did not have $1000 to fix the problem. My car operated ok until a few days when it started jerking,speedometer fluctuated until it went to reading 0 mph. At this time I was on I 20 in atlanta. This time I was afraid of being rear ended when I was stopped at a traffic light due to not picking up enough speed. I feel this is a serious safety issue and Ford should be required to replace transmission speed sensors. Case in point concerning Ford dealer quoting $1000-I found someone to repair for under $100. I would have been able to fix my car the previous year. Dealer said they would have to spend 4 plus hours labor due to where the transmission speed sensor is located. Person fixing my car said the transmission speed sensor is external easily accessible. I'm very disappointed in Ford and the dealer in this very scary issue.

I started having issues with my car in 2008. My car then would not go any faster than 50 mph would not accelerate on the freeway on ramp , and could not go up hills. So I reparied it or so I though. Now bring me to last year 2014 I still experience all that pull when traveling but now my speedometer was going crazy and would just go up to 100 mph as I was sitting at a stop light/sign. Fast forward to August 2014 when I had the speed sensor changed. . . And now I'm in March 2015 and again my car pulls, me speedometer goes crazy. Well as I was driving with my two children in the car ages 5 years, and 7montj old. I was rear ended while pulling up to a stop sign!!! luckily it was just enough to scare my daughter and I was just a bit sore the whole day but things could have been worse! after reading up on the sure my issue I am having I just about had enough! Ford needs to take responsibility for faulty transmissions and faulty vehicles!!!.
