Description of the problem	My transmission has been acting erratically for the past 30 days. At first the vehicle would lose acceleration and then the rpms would jump 2000, after a couple seconds i would hear a loud thump as the transmission reengaged; the speedometer also registered 0 a couple times when this happened. Other times the transmission would refuse to leave first gear or i would lose power while in first gear for approximately 10 seconds. The worst issue happened when i was driving the vehicle at approximately 35 mph when the transmission shifted into 1st gear and locked up my rear tires! Thankfully i didn't get rear ended, or worse, been driving on the highway; there is no way i could have controlled the vehicle at high speeds and could have seriously injured myself or other drivers. Unfortunately these transmission issues are intermittent and do not generate error codes. I've been to two ford dealers, the first could not replicate the issue and the second was able to determine the issue is caused by a faulty electronic control assembly in the transmission; they had to search service bulletins in order to figure out what is happening. While this seems to be a common complaint with ford owners, 2013 vehicles are not included in the recall and they want to charge me $1412. 75 to fix the issue. In addition, this is a major safety issue.
