I've had transmission problems since purchasing the car. Two days ago the car would not go into reverse and the engine light came on - it was stuck in the garage at this time. I was finally able to get the car to reverse and the light went off a few hours later. Yesterday the car, again, would not reverse and the engine light came back on. This time it was stuck in a parking lot. After many attempts, some of which lead to the car not starting at all, the car finally turned on, and reversed after roughly half an hour. This morning I took the car to webb Ford in highland, in for repairs as the transmission has a 100,000 mile warranty. The dealership said they are backed up for over 2 weeks and would not even let me leave my car. The nest closest dealer in calumet city, il is not taking transmission work at all. Now, after leaving work, my car will not go over 15mph without jerking and chugging and it seems that I have no way to get the transmission fixed even though it's under warranty because no one will take my car.

Country Ford stated that they fixed the issue. I called them the same day that the issue was still on going. They stated that it might have been the reset of the computer. I'm very concern the issue was not fix because the needed part wasn't available at the time. The car still stalls when it's at half a tank and completely stalls when it's at a quarter tank. This is not safe to be driving down highways or in a busy city. I am concern with with my health and life it suddenly shots off on a busy road.
