Description of the problem	We were running some errands on 3/4/11. It was raining . Different times i notice a little bit of hesitancy when leaving the malls & pulling away from stoplights & stopsigns. On 3/5/11 we were backing out of our driveway & proceeded to put in drive, van kind of chug a lug and went maybe 30 ft & stop. Restarted van and it would do this all over again. Finally after about 5-6 times ,went around the block & parked it in driveway. Mileage is 80,939. We had trouble like this in jan 2011. Had it towed to lynch ford, dealer charged us $150. 00 & could not find anything wrong. Maybe because it was inside the dealership & got dried out. Mileage approx 77800 back in march 2010, the transmission was doing the same type of thing chug a lugging & then stop. Had it towed to a local shop who then had to tow it to the ford dealer. Ford did have a recall issue on tcm , replaced it,the cowl panel & new key fobs. We had to pay for labor due to ford motors fault what supposedly didn't cover. Mileage approx 65,000 not sure on this. At this time. I believe it is the same trouble again.
