Consumer Description

2007 FORD FOCUS PZEV MODEL. ONLY WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, WHEN TRANSMISSION IS PUT IN REVERSE, IT WILL SUDDENLY SURGE AND MOVE MUCH FASTER THAN THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR WOULD CAUSE. IT BEGAN HAPPENING WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR BUT ONLY SPORADICALLY, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT MORE NOW THAT THE CAR IS OLDER. IN THE PAST I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT ON TWO OCCASIONS AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG SO I AM JUST VERY CAREFUL WHEN I AM BACKING THE CAR UP. *TR
