Auotmatic transmission failure with no warning and no warranty or recall from Ford. Car has 53000 miles . Driving along at 30 mph and it was like the car was put into neutral. Complete trans failure with no warning not a safe thing to happen on the highway or anywhere else for that fact. I am a devoted Ford person but at this point also very upset and would have to consider buying another brand .
