Description of the problem	Since i bought the car new in 2013, it has hesitated and shuddered badly, especially when beginning to move from a stop and when shifting from first to second gear. People who ride in the car always ask me what's wrong with it. I have taken it back to the ford dealer repeatedly, but the service manager has always claimed he doesn't feel anything out of the ordinary. He says it's just the automatic transmission shifting gears. Once i got so exasperated i took it back and took the service manager for a ride in it myself. It shuddered and hesitated badly during the entire ride. He still claimed he couldn't feel anything unusual. Twice when i have been driving it, the car has shifted itself from drive into neutral and the vehicle has coasted to a stop, totally without power. When i took it back to the dealer after these occurrences, the service manager has said that it is simply impossible for a car to shift itself from drive into neutral. I have responded that it very clearly is possible for a car to shift itself from drive into neutral, because the car he sold me has done it twice now when i have been driving it. The last time we spoke, i pointed out to the service manager that his dealership sold me a car i can't drive on the freeway for fear of losing power doing 70 miles an hour with a large truck right behind me and being run over. I also pointed out that they sold me a car that i can't in good conscience allow my wife and kids to drive. I asked him to make it right. He replied that the car is perfectly safe and that it is completely up to me if i choose not to drive it in freeway traffic, at high speeds, or let my wife and kids drive it. Clearly, ford and its dealers have no intention of 'doing the right thing' here. I trust that nhtsa finally will.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
