Description of the problem	My vehicle downshifted from approx 60 mph- 20mph immediately and unexpectedly in rush hour traffics. I temporarily lost control of the car and if i had not been able to get it back under control and almost ran off the side of the road rt. 7 traveling north towards winchester and almost was hit by a tractor trailer in the right lane it lurched. I decided to turn off n aback road to see if this was just a,fluke and it seemed to do its and off, but not as roughly, revving up and down and shifting up and down, then wa fine until i turned onto rt. 81 north towards inwood, wv. The vehicle continued to have was seems to be continuous revving and shifting problems, i drive it home and had my best friend follow me slowly to the parsons ford dealership to be looked at. There is a transmission/computer programming issue that ford is aware of. I had this issue in the first 1000 miles that occurred once in front of my house on bac creek valley drive, upon parking the vehicle, turning it off and restarting the problem disappeared. I commented on it during the 30,000 mile maintenance and chalks it up to a glitch during the normal break-in period of the vehicle. The last incident almost resulted in a potentially fatal condition, here i almost caused an accident with an 18-wheeler and other vehicles. I do not want my wife to drive this vehicle and feel it is unsafe and should be immediately recalled before anyone gets killed as a result. Based on a research ford has upgraded the transmissions in the 2015 line of the ford focus line, and should replace the vehicles.
