2008 FORD EDGE Complaints

WHILE YOU START TO DRIVE FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF LOW AND THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND CAR WILL BE AT A CRAWL WHILE TRYING TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION SAFELY. WHILE BACKING UP, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SLAM IT INTO REVERSE WHERE YOU HEAR A LOUD BANG AND THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKS AS IF YOU HAVE HIT SOMETHING. WHILE ACCELERATING TO GET ONTO THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO LOW GEAR, STAYS IN LOW AND CAN'T GET UP THE SPEED TO GET ON THE FREEWAY SAFELY. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT FIRST SPORADICALLY, THEN WHEN I WOULD GET HOME, TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT WAS AS IF THE COMPUTER HAD RESET AND IT WORKED FIND. AS TIME WENT ON, IT OCCURRED MORE FREQUENTLY AND TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT AN OPTION. I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND NO MORE PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED. MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY 102K MILES, BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING AROUND 58K MILES.
