Description of the problem	On the highway, as i hit 40 mph, the engine didn't upshift and disengaged with the drivetrain. When i pressed the accelerator, the engine revved, but there was no power to the wheels. After a couple of failed attempts of shifting to neutral and back into drive (while on the highway), i turned the overdrive function off and the engine engaged with the drivetrain again. I was able to drive home safely. Today, the same problem is happening. I called the local ford dealer and they can't get me into the shop for a week due to a high volume (their words to me) of transmission problems. I have found numerous complaints on the web indicating the same problem by other owners. I'm not sure if they are filing a complaint, but it appears that this is a larger issue potentially due to poor quality parts in the transmission.
