Description of the problem	I tried to pull off at a very busy intersection and nothing. I came very close to getting into a crash. I am now told from the dealership that i need a new transmission and transfer case. I've taken very good care of my vehicle since i purchase my 2004 lincoln aviator lux with 80,000 miles on it and always had it serviced at the dealership. I thought i was making a good decision when purchasing a lincoln. I'm a single parent and wanted a reliable vehicle. Worst decision i ever made!!! First it started with the gear shift getting stuck and needing replaced. Then i had to replace all coil packs. The air condition started making a funny noise when you turn it on but hasn't been fixed because the dealership can never get it to duplicate but happens to me all the time! Next both wheel hubs. The second one breaking on the interstate while in the middle of no where pennsylvania. Thankfully i noticed a weird noise and pulled over immediately because the tow truck driver (i had to wait on for 2 hours) said had i even drove 30 more feet i would have been in a possible fatal accident with both of my children in the car at 70 miles/hr. Last week both control arms 3 days later leaves me stranded in traffic at a very busy intersection with the car behind me only coming inches from hitting me after i release the break and press the gas hear a loud noise and nothing happens! Did i mention this happened on my way to work! Again waited for 45 min for a tow truck. Now i have a estimated of $4850 to replace the transmission and transfer case. This vehicle has been a nightmare!!!!!!! I thankfully wasn't in any serious accident but came very close twice. I have no clue what i'm going to do now because i don't have the $4850 and if i did i think i would rather sue ford! Last but not least i still owe $6850 on my loan! This is so unfair!
