Model Year	2006
File date	25/10/13
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Three familiar issues: * transmission slams!!! Into reverse * when approaching a stop light/sign the transmission downshifts with a thump. * vehicle will surge forward shortly after placing in drive (under 15 mph). It will hesitate back and forth about 3 or 4 times. Had it at a dealership to reflash/reprogram in november 2013. Paid $100 for the test and was told the solenoid body failed. I declined the offer of a $937 plus tax repair bill. Ford should fix this issue at no cost to their customers. Transmission issues in a vehicle with only 54,000 miles does not speak to ford's commitment to quality. These complaints have been noted for years. Needless to say the above three issues persist. *js
