NHTSA Complaint #10523162 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

THIS CAR HAS HAD THE PROBLEM WITH ROUGH SHIFTING AND ROLL BACK ON HILL ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASED IN MAY . I REPORTED INCIDENT TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY DID NOT DO ANYTHING BUT LATER IN MAY 2012 RECEIVED THE SERVICE NOTICE FOR REPROGRAMMING. IT HELPED IT BUT DID NOT FIX IT AND THIS PROBLEM RETURNED AND ACTUALLY GOT WORSE. WE JUST TOOK IT TO OUR DEALER FOR SERVICE ON 6/21/13 AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A CLUTCH ASSEMBLY PACK THEY REPLACED. ONCE AGAIN THE CAR IS DRIVING BETTER BUT STILL NOT WHAT I CONSIDER NORMAL (SMOOTH SHIFTING/ACCELERATING) FOR ANY CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT ISSUE WILL RETURN WITH TIME. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION ONCE AND FOR ALL. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO HAVE A RECALL? *TR
