I was able to get the vehicle home slowly. I tested the vehicle on the side streets and it performed. Assistance was going to take a long time and I suffer from a medical condition that makes me fragile in the heat. I restarted my vehicle and the vehicle shuddered to a side-street, where I idled for five minutes and called for assistance. My car shuddered off, completely and I lost power steering just as I completed the maneuver. I was able to get into the right lane with my hazard lights on. I moved the vehicle into "sport" mode, in case I had bumped the selector, but it made no difference. The vehicle revved, getting fuel, but there was no forward movement, no shuddering, nothing. I lost acceleration merging from the center turning lane. I left the neighborhood and turned left into traffic on a five-lane road. Car shuddered reversing out of the driveway. My vehicle was not in the vehicles recalled for transmission services. The vehicle does not even have 100k miles. This seems to be a defective transmission, and Ford is not willing to help. The vehicle is no longer under warranty, and I am expected to pay for repairs. Once I made it to take vehicle back to the Ford service center, and they are now saying the transmission on the vehicle needs to be replaced. At every stop light, the vehicle was obnoxiously loud. I got off of the highway, and took city roads as a precaution to get to the service center. On the way to getting the vehicle to be inspected at the service center, the car would not go over 70 mph and I could could hear the car running very loudly (like a roaring sound).
The car drove fine, and I did not have any issues. There was no warning prior to this incident. Three months later, while driving about 30 mph, I recieved an alert on my vehicle saying, "powertrain malfunction / reduced power" and "malfunction indicator lamp - regulatory". The issue was resolved under warranty by a Ford service department by replacing the half shaft. Had issues with vibrations coming from front passenger side of the vehicle causing the entire vehicle to shake.
All scheduled maintenance completed for the vehicle on time, and always serviced at a Ford service department.
