Consumer Description

ON MARCH 5TH, 2013 I WAS TRAVELING HOME AT 65 MPH AND THE CAR JERKED FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AND NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. TRAVELED ANOTHER 20 MILES AND AGAIN IT JERKED THIS TIME THE CONTROL MODULE/TRANSMISSION LIGHT (WRENCH ICON) CAME ON AND THE CAR BEGAN TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. AFTER A FEW SECOND STARTED IT BACK UP AND RESET THE COMPUTER. WAS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE FREEWAY AND MAKE IT THE NEXT 30 MILES HOME AND ANOTHER 10 MILES THE NEXT DAY TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO ISSUES. I WAS INFORMED ON MARCH 6TH THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 FORD FOCUS HER IN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS 78,000 BUT ENTIRE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT 58,000 MILES (UNDER WARRANTY DO TO A TIMING FAILURE AT 65MPH DESTROYING THE MOTOR!!! *TR
