Having Odd Electrical/Transmission? Problem!

Feb 19, 2011 1:09PM PST

I have an 08 Ford Focus. I got in my car and started the engine, and drove down the street and felt the transmission shift hard, I then realized that the transmission light has come on, along with the low fuel light, I had lost my speedometer, and all of my digital gages (odometer, fuel economy, etc.) Just a few seconds later, the transmission shifted hard again and everything went back to normal, and then my doors locked. It doesnt happen all the time, but I can tell when it is going to happen because my automatic locking doors dont lock... Can someone help me figure out what is happening?
