What is your question?
The car shut itself off without any warning on an intersection after continuous high revving with a stuck gear. Struggled to start but when it did a loud squealing sound occurred and shut off again. I pressed the fuel reset switch and it started but the engine ran different and would not move at all. After a week a loud knocking/rattling sound occurred after starting and still won't accelerate. (It also did have a transmission problem with gear 2) Could it be that, time chain cassette, worn engine or what?

If that Mountaineer has a 4.0L V6, then yes, you most likely have a timing chain issue. When the vehicle gets that far out of time it will severely effect performance. There's also a chance you could have a transmission issue on top of it, but it would be hard to tell until the engine was running correctly. Strongly recommend finding a good shop that knows that 4.0L SOHC motor and the 5R55 transmission very well.
