Transmission problems with Ranger

I bought an automatic 2013 Ford Ranger in March and had nothing but problems. I rely heavily on this vehicle as a tool of my trade. Firstly, the transmission would not go past second gear. It was initially diagnosed as the transmission computer, but it got worse and was towed to a dealership. Then I was told the transmission would have to be sent away for a proper diagnosis. I was eventually told it had been repaired. But, just a few days later, driving at 60km/h it abruptly skidded to a halt in the middle of a busy road.

Ford Australia customer service chief Stephen Kruk tells me the transmission has been repaired under warranty. A loan car was supplied while the vehicle was off the road.
