Sorry to hear that you have problems so soon.
It could be any number of things, your best bet is to get the codes checked and post the results, then I'm sure someone can help you.

Is this during driving or just sitting and reving the engine? Yes there is a limiter that prevents the engine from over reving when the car is not in gear.
Hope this helps.

Now that's a pretty cool idea. + 1 for Ford (oh, and, now officially TATA)
