Takata recall transmission started slipping and then it just went out. So had it fixed and it cost me over $ 2500. Now a year to date 07/ 08/2017 it started doing it again. This is ridiculous and can not afford it again. Oh of course when you take it in it won't do it. It happens when moving in the city between like 1st and 2nd. It doesn't happen all the time.

Transmission slipping in 2nd & 3rd gear. Car has only 62,000 miles. Transmission will be replaced this week at $2100. Contacted Ford consumer services but no response, but really no surprise there. After much research I have found that this has been an ongoing problem with this model. Ford refuses to take responsibility - I refuse to buy another Ford. I have driven a Ford since the day I got my driver's license but after this incident Ford has lost me as a customer.
Car has 44,000 miles and transmission already failing with the following codes: error codes p0732 and p0733. Transmission slips on 2nd and 3rd gear.
