Description of the problem	This car started giving me problems shortly after i bought the car. At the time the dealership told me that it was normal function and that the car was expected to shudder slightly and to run it for a 1,000 miles to allow the car to adjust to my driving. When the shudder slowly became worse, i finally took the car in for service. Since that first time, i have had the transmission replace 3 times and i cant ever count how many "software" updates. Each update i get the same run around about driving it for 500-1000 miles to allow the system to reset. That is crap, and it never works. Additionally, the last two updates i had to contact them... Really if there is an update needed shouldn't they be contacting their consumer? The worse part is the the two times it acted up i was out of town when the car started acting up. I had to invest in aaa, just because i can't trust my "new" car. My biggest concern is that this problem could very easily cause a serious accident. It causes the car not to accelerate as it should: for example you go to pull out onto a road with plenty of time, but the car spudders and doesn't pick up speed or merging onto the express way and it doesn't accelerate as it should? I work in the transportation industry, i happen to work in their safety department and can tell you that i would never allow one of our trucks on the road that performed like my car does. (or should i say doesnt') it is a safety to me and the motoring public. There are multiple complaints and ford has done nothing but extend warranties to make up for the shotty product they have put out to market. In any other industry i could return a product that was crap, but with cars - you are just stuck! I have been fighting this battle for two years now. This is outrageous and someone needs to do something to hold ford accountable before someone is seriously injured or worse

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.
