HARD SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS FROM 30 MPH TO 60 MPH. HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMETIMES. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING THE FREEWAY OR NEEDED ACCELERATION OR REDUCTION IN SPEED IN TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. HAVE HAD FORD UPDATE COMPUTER WITH NO RESULTS.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET. THE WRENCH LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON , CRUISE CONTROL TURNED OFF AND LOST POWER AND SPEED. I HAD TO PULL OFF INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND DRIVE DOWN THE SHOULDER TO A REST STOP. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR FOR 5 MINUTES AND THE TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. AFTER READING OTHER ISSUES LIKE MINE I'M THINKING IT MAY BE THE THROTTLE BODY OR TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS.
