Description of the problem	In 06/2014 my van transmission light came on then went out. I thought it was nothing as time progress i notice that my van was slow and hard shifting. I took it to the nearest transmission auto shop and they told me it was my internal transmission failing. I put it in the shop and the repair cost 1200. 00 to fix. It got it out worked fine for a few days then started back slow and hard shifting again. Took it back to mechanic they said they don't see anything wrong with it. I did this several and had no luck with it. 08/2014 i started having more noticeable electrical problems like dash board lights come on now and then radio resets it self sometimes it wont work at not even the dvd player. The doors wont lock alarm goes off when it wants to and power sliding wont close. So i only drove the van around time limiting my trips contacted ford no help there. Then winter comes in all of sudden my van works great dash board lights working dvd and radio working fine most importantly my van transmission was shifting properly but then on warmer days it starts to act up again. On 02/16/20015 my children and i was on our way to get groceries for the winter storm that was coming,the lost power and died luckily was close to home that i could pull over start it again and make it home safely. Then today it will not start up at all. Im a single mother of five young daughters and my oldest daughter and i are both disabled. We depend on this vehicle to get back and forth to our doctors appt. Im planning have a mechanic check my pcm and to see if its water damage. But i've notice several fellow ford owners are going through similar problems. I don't know why ford not willing to own up to their life threatening mistakes.
