I stopped at a red light and started to go when the light turned green and half way through the light the trains slipped out of gear and wouldn't engage until the rpm went down. This is only one of many times this has happened and after doing some research I'm not the only one. I hope Ford does the right thing and recalls this problem before somebody gets killed and a recall would be nothing compared to a death and a lawsuit.
Automatic transmission would slip while accelerating, and jump out of gear. Dealership examined vehicle and determined that transmission needed to be replaced. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
