Description of the problem	I have had my car into the dealership 6 times with transmission troubles. The first 4 times i brought it in, i kept being told there was nothing wrong with my transmission. It works as designed. I kept having my car shuttering and lack of power, it was extremely noticeable when i needed to accelerate to cross traffic, at times i was afraid my car would not cross traffic in enough time because it would have a lack of power and then it would all of a sudden kick in. On 11/13/15, my car randomly downshifted and the check engine light came on. My car was having trouble engaging the transmission. A few miles down the road, transmission fault appeared on my information center on my dash. I stopped on the side of the road and shut my car off. Hoping this would possible let the computer re-sync itself. A few minutes later, i decided to see if i could get my car to a safer place since the shoulder i was on was extremely narrow with 50 mph traffic. As i started to move my car, i got approximately another 100 yards down the road and my information center on my car said my transmission was overheating and i needed to stop, at the same time, my car would no longer engage the transmission. I was able to coast to a safe spot on the side of the road. I called ford roadside assistance and they were not able to assist me. So i called my insurance company. I was stuck on the side of the road for 3. 5 hours waiting for a tow truck. I brought my car into the dealership. They were able to look at my car on 11/17/15. They said my car had some old fault codes they removed and that i didn't have the latest update. They said they updated my car and test drove it and everything was running fine. I picked up my car on 11/18/15 in the evening. On the evening of 11/19, my car did the exact same thing it did on 11/13/15. Needless to say my car is still sitting at the dealer.
