Description of the problem	I was driving on a city street. I was stopped at a red light and could not accelerate past 33 mph with the speed limit being 45 mph. I immediately became concerned for my saftey and pulled off on a side street still going 33 mph and not able to accelerate any faster. Once stopped, i had a dashboard message appear saying "transmission fault". It would not go into motion at this point after pulling over to stop. I had the vehicle towed to a local ford dealership, where i was advised by my service advisor that the fluid was broken down per their transmission technician and that there are metal shavings in the system. He told me i should have changed fluid every 30k miles. The complaint i have against ford is that my drivers manual states to replace transmission fluid at 150k miles. I am now faced with high repair cost that does not line up with ford's recommended maintenance. Following the service manual got me a high cost repair and ford is not standing by their product. Additionally, this could have put me in a more dangerous situation if i was on the highway since i live in a major metro area of the country. If there is a faulty transmission going bad before their service schedule, they should recall them for the customer's safety.
