Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At about 11,000 miles i had the first incident while in normal traffic going about 45 mph. felt like the transmission slipped. no power during 1st and 2nd gear change. a few days later the same thing happen while entering the interstate. while trying to accelerate there was no power, nearly hit by semi-truck, couldn't get over 60 mph and the check engine light came on. i slowed back on the accelerator and light went off and power slowly came back. took vehicle to ford at 12,000+ miles, kept it for several days. said it was a computer module, changed it, picked vehicle up and not 2 miles down the road the same thing happened again. didn't have the time to take it right back in not to mention there rental car experience was equally horrible. it's in their shop now 3/10 and i'm at 22,000 miles and it happens every time i accelerate. it's a very dangerous problem. now they say they think it's something to do with the torque converter and have ordered parts. i'm also having a problem with it not starting after driving, getting out and getting back in within about 30 minutes. we'll see next week what the outcome is! *jb
