Description of the problem	Whenever i put my suv in reverse it jolts and it feels as if my transmission has fallen out. I also notice it does the same when i try to put in "drive" some times. My car is well maintained and i have always bought ford trucks. I'm scared to drive my children in the car at times because my truck has a mind of it's own and decides when it wants to accelerate and when it doesn't. Please give some insight. I've seen many message boards and it seems as if this is a problem across the board for this make and model.

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?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
