I was on my way home coming down farrow rd. And my car stalled out, so I slowly pulled in the median turn car off and back on. When I got ready to pull out of the median the car wouldn't go no faster than 5 miles and hour. So I had my friend help me pull it out of the road and take me home and tow my car to the house. When I got it home there wasn't any acceleration, rpms wont move at all, car has power and cranks but when I put it in drive it won't go anywhere. It stalls and cuts off, even in neutral no acceleration. Everything lights up and cuts on but no acceleration. From my photos below you will see I have replaced alternator, throttlebody, the red and black wiring on the back of the intake I've checked all my hoses there was no splits no cuts no vacuum leak and every time I get a reading on it it gives me a different code please read and reply if this is a recall I need my car fixed immediately

Transmission is faulty. Shortly after I bought this car used at 91000 miles I had to replace valve solenoid and reprogram computer done by ford dealership. This worked for about 2 to 3 months at which point the transmission started acting up again. It would stall and then shift really hard when coming up to speed which resulted in a jerking of the car. Also would jerk when trying to come to a stop. I had a few close calls which almost resulted in an accident since I can not speed up without it jerking and I couldn't slow down fast without it jerking and wanting to jump forward. I have put an aftermarket inline transmission filter in and have to change the filter and fluid every 2500 to 3500 miles. When I do this it helps for a short period and then it acts up again. I know this is only a temporary fix and I will either end up in a crash or having to replace the whole transmission eventually.

This vehicle has had a surging and stalling issue ever since it was purchased. It would come and go throughout the years but got much worse recently. When stopped at a light for instance the idle speed becomes low and sometimes stalls. It will surge making slow turns and surge when put into drive. It will surge forward when turning into a parking spot and in many other instances. If you are in drive and put it into park the RPM will also surge as high as 2500. Since I have been reading up on the issue I noticed that there was a letter sent out to owners of my model which I did not receive. The problem was supposed to be addressed for free per r12n03. Of course the coverage ended on 03/31/2013. I did not receive this notice and should still be able to get this repair done for free. It should be a recall.
