Description of the problem	While driving car stalls while switching gears eventually jolts/jerks hard, wrench light signaling a powertrain issue appears in display. As i am doing research i realize this is a common transmission issue with fords. Definitely will not purchase another ford and will discourage everyone else i know from purchasing. Ford takes no responsibility for this issue in its vehicles. Completely unacceptable for a large company like ford.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
