Description of the problem	I was at the rocky mountain national park when my car wouldn't start. I have a aaa membership so they came and jumped my car. We drove a couple miles bought a new battery but it was was not shifting properly . We called our ford dealership in wisconsin that we always go to and they told us the transmission control module will prevent car from starting , drain your battery , and not allow car to shift properly. The drive down the mountain was very scary the car would not shift right and jerked the car violently. The drive on the highway was not much better, we had semi's almost hit us. Flashing lights at us because we could not speed up. We called around no one had the part we needed. With it being the weekend some ford service shops weren't even open. We were told not to shut car off because it might not start again so we drove all night long for 26 hours home at 50 mph because we could not go any faster. The speed limit was 75 mph and several times we had cars get right on our bumper and switching lanes at the last second. Finally my husband put our hazard lights on so other drivers would realize we were unable to go fast. It was a scary and nerve racking experience. The ford fiesta has a really bad transmission that has broken on us before and ford keeps extending the warranty but that doesn't give us peace of mind when traveling. I have to worry every time i travel that this car will break down. In fact i have rented cars 3 times to travel because i don't trust my ford. This vacation i decided it was a waste of money to rent a car for a week and i took my ford and it let my family down for the last time. This car should be recalled because it is not safe. You have to make sure that you have a lot of room to pull out at intersections because it shifts so slowly and does not take off like most cars. Please help get this unsafe car off the road. Thanks
