NHTSA Complaint #10485453 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

I'VE EXPERIENCED SHUDDER AT TAKE OFF, WHILE PULLING ONTO ROAD TRANSMISSION CAN'T FIND GEAR LEAVES ME IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION, RPM SPIKE AND DROP WHILE SHIFTING AND A VIOLENT SHUDDER AT SAME TIME, CHATTER NOISE WHEN SHIFTING, LIST GOES ON.....AFTER THE FOURTH VISIT TO ANOTHER DEALER PARTS FIXED WERE CLUTCH BECAUSE IT WAS BEING STRIPPED, CLUTCH SLAVE, AND A WHOLE OTHER LIST OF PARTS. WEEK LATER PROBLEM CAME BACK PARTS FIXED WERE CLUTCH, CLUTCH FORKS, CLUTCH MOTOR AND MORE. WEEK LATER AND SIXTH VISIT FOR SAME PROBLEMS TOOK THE SERVICE MANAGER FOR A RIDE. HE EXPERIENCED MY PROBLEMS AND WERE NOW GETTING A FIELD SERVICE TECH ON IT. SERVICE MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME IF I'M ON A DECLINE WITH THE NOSE DOWN AND GIVE IT A LITTLE GAS I WILL ALWAYS GET THE SHUTTER AND IT'S STRIPPING THE CLUTCH, THAT'S A CHARACTERISTIC. ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTING AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE RPM FLUCTUATE AND SHUTTER IS ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC THE TRANSMISSION IS TRYING TO FIND A GEAR. BY NO MEANS WAS THE SERVICE MANAGER ON THE SIDE OF FORD JUST STATING WHAT'S THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE DOING. I HAVE A CASE OPEN WITH FORD HAVE WRITTEN A LETTER INQUIRING ABOUT THE BUY BACK IF I DON'T GET THE RESPONSE I WANT I'M TAKING MY CASE TO COURT. TALKED TO AN ATTORNEY AND THAT'S MY BEST CASE OF ACTION. JUST ALL AROUND NOT A SAFE CAR. AND THE SAD THING IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE FORD MOTOR COMPANY STARTS TAKING THE CONSUMER SERIOUSLY. HERE'S COMES ANOTHER EXPLORER PROBLEM. *TR
