NHTSA Complaint #10542661 — 2013 FORD FOCUS

TRIED TO TELL DEALERSHIP ABOUT STUTTERING OF CAR WHEN IT IS SHIFTING, RESPONSE WAS NOT ENOUGH MILES ON IT, NOTHING WAS CHECKED OUT. ALSO CALLED DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT THE STUTTERING, HAD THE FEELING THEY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. OIL CHANGE AT 5000 MILES, WAS ASKED ABOUT HOW I LIKED THE NEW STANDARD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WAS NOT IMPRESSED, WAS TAKEN OUT ON THE ROAD, HAD A LOUD SCREECH IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, WAS TOLD SOMETIMES A SOMETHING GETS LOOSE AND AIR GETS UNDER IT AND IT SCREECHES**.2ND OIL CHANGE, HAD ENOUGH OF THE RUN AROUND, MADE SOME NOISE AND GOT THE CAR CHECKED OUT ON A COMPUTER, LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY FOUND A BAD CLUTCH, THEY ARE REPLACING IT AT NO COST TO ME, PROBLEM IS I DON'T WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, & I FEEL IT IS A " LARGE RED LEMON "& I WANT IT REPLACED WITH A GOOD DEPENDABLE NEW CAR, I DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE. THANK YOU, WOULD LIKE TO THINK THIS WOULD HELP MY CAUSE. *TR
