Description of the problem	The truck jolts when shifting gears to reverse and drive, i feels like a car ran into me from the back. It has caused me to bump into another car in front of me when i was sitting in traffic, as i accelerate the gas pedal it either stalls or jolts very hard, thank god it there was no damage to the other car nor mine. Ever since this happened, it has been big problem when driving on the road, and now the truck doesn't pick up speed very quickly ever since this happened, when i get to 20 mph it stalls or jolts after 3-5 seconds. My shift stick is all messed up now, when i put it in reverse, it looks like its on neutral and park looks like its on 3rd gear. Service mechanics have almost crashed my car because of this issue, and ford has said they can't guarantee a proper repair!! Then why sell it if you can't repair it properly so i wont have problems in the future. This vehicle needs to be recalled for safety issues.
