Description of the problem	Purchase this vehicle in 2011 once it was home within 3 months began having problems, i also purchase the ford extended warranty and took it back to the dealership. They explained they could not find an issue with the transmission. It jolts, lunges, and sometimes the transmission doesn't engage. I feel extremely unsafe trying to pull out at an intersection because the car starts to jolt and i have to slam on the gas in order for the car to go. It is horrible and i feel very unsafe driving; especially with my children in the car. Even if i am driving on the interstate i have to put the car into overdrive to stop the majority of the jolting, and that does not even guarantee it will stop. It has been a battle with the dealership. Had it independently checked by aamco and the transmission replaced, but the issue still occurs. Not sure what can be done. This vehicle needs to be recalled.
