 Description of the problemI was driving approximately 40 mph yesterday when all of a sudden the car started de-accelerating and came to a complete stop on the road. Fortunately i was in the far right lane and was able to pull into the median. The car was still on and all of the other power was on but when i pushed the gas, nothing was happening. I had an error light pop up that said "parking assist not available" and then another one about "hill assistance" or something like that. I had not attempted to use either of those functions. I turned off the car for a few minutes. When i turned it back on a bit later i was able to go another mile back towards home and then the same thing happened again. Luckily i was close to home so i waited again and was able to make it home. I brought it to the dealership this morning (had to stop twice on the way here for the same reasons as yesterday). They said the transmission module has to be replaced. I asked if this was a known issue and the service person said yes, it is and that some people received recall letters. I did not receive one. It's going to take about a week to fix and is covered under warranty. Apparently ford is extending the warranty to 100k but i haven't seen that in writing yet. This is incredibly frustrating and scary. This car is only 2. 5 years old! When i looked it up online and saw that there is a class action suit, i was shocked and dismayed. I'm worried i'll continue to have problems and that it will have no resale value.
