Description of the problem	This is a big, big, deal related to dangerous safety issue. Reference bulletin:ford tsb 6-14-10, issued july 24, 2006 (supersedes ford tsb 5-23-7 issued november 28, 2005) my car suddenly lost control surging and unable to shift and no reverse gear. Have had off and on problems for the past year resulting in about $2000 of service to figure out why car acting up, surging, inability to shift, at times no forward or reverse gear. One time drove 25 mph to get home 20 miles and police stopped me because suspicious driving. I told him i was have transmission problems. Transmission as it turns out is perfect. Pcm is malfunctioning intermittently because of engineering problem of pcm shorting out. Towed to ford dealer and said needed $2-5000 transmission. Towed home and suddenly started working. Investigated this bulletin that the ford dealer was not familiar with and they accepted my information describing the bulletin to them. Why has this problem not risen to the recall status given the extreme danger on the highway driving and loosing all control of the car causing a very dangerous perilous situation to me my family and others on the road?
