Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE 2012 FORD FOCUS SEL ON NOVEMBER 18TH 2011 AND FIRST RECALL WAS JAN 02 2012 THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS A 2ND RECALL AND THE REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN BUT IM STILL HAVING HESITATION ON STARTUPS AND LOSES POWER AS WELL BUT HASN'T STALLED YET BUT I THOUGHT FEW TIMES IT WILL STALL OUT BUT IT DIDN'T. I HOPE FORD CAN FIX THE HESITATION OF THIS VEHICLE BUT IF NOT THEN I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN. ALSO THE SUSPENSION IS VERY HARD ON BUMPS. FEELS LIKE THERE IS NO SHOCKS ON THE CAR. VERY DISAPPOINTED ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. CRACKED WHEN I ONLY HAD 15,000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR
