Description of the problem	On several occasions when shifting into reverse the vehicle was extremely hesitant & eventually would lunge backwards while making a loud "clack" as it jumped into gear. Another time i started my car & it lunged into park as if it was never in park completely before i shut off and exited the vehicle prior to this. We all know you cant take the keys out of the ignition w/o it being in park,so explain this! After numerous complaints to my dealership they find a problem(a factory defect,not one caused by me)they replaced parts and now only a few months later i am having the same problems all over again. Only now my problems are worse. While driving instead of shifting my car just revs real high & goes nowhere. This lasts anywhere from 15-45 seconds & then stops. It also is hesitant when shifting from gear to gear. I have my car serviced regularly and dont drve it hard,i should not be experiencing these problems at all!!! I am a very,very unhappy ford owner. I paid $38,000 cash for this vehicle the day i bought it & have had nothing but problems since,only regrets. *jb
