I had this same problem. I took the car back several times to the dealership. They claimed that they couldn't duplicate the condition. On the 3rd time, the car was past warranty, and they did find that it was slipping into neutral. I showed that my history of returning the car during the warranty period, and they agreed to replace the entire transmission. I of course had to pay for new fluids, but it was worth it.

Why does the 2001 ford escorts have two d's on the shift panel?
The " D " with a circle around it ( next to the neutral " N " position ) is the overdrive position . That is the normal position when driving the vehicle , it allows the transmission to shift into the fourth gear ( an overdrive gear ) when you are crusing at a higher speed . When it shifts into overdrive your engine won't rev as high , your gas mileage will be better etcetera
Anyone with problems with 1997 Ford truck overdrive?
I have a 1997 ford e 350 van with automatic transmission when the transmission shifts form 3rd gear to overdrive at about 50-55 mph it falters and bucks and I have to let off on the gas so it can pick-up speed, when I have overdrive off and put on overdrive when 3rd gear shifts to overdrive at 50-55 mph it shifts smoother but if I give too much gas again it bucks and falters till I let off gas so it can retain speed slowly.

First of all...auto or manual? Also, why was the question asked as if overdrive is it's own gear? Check your fuses first, but with lack of detail there is no definite answer at this time.
Do you need overdrive at city driving?
Overdrive is the normally allowed position , but unless you are going fast enough it will not shift into overdrive because it acts as the " top " gear ( on my Explorer I have to be going 50 miles per hour / 80 kilometers per hour before it shifts into overdrive )

What is the problem if after your 1988 mercury grand marquis shifts out of second gear the car is very choppy after that when you accelerate?
If a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis shifting out of second gear gets choppy after acceleration then the overdrive band may need servicing. An overdrive band that is sticking can also cause this problem.
What is wrong if a 1986 Chevy Astro shifts into first and second but when it hits third it sounds like you are flooring it will not shift any higher?
If this is an automatic transmission, which I am assuming it is it will not work the same as a standard. Only drive it in overdrive or 1st gear.
