NHTSA Complaint #10552587 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

SIMILAR TO OTHERS GRINDING NOISE , CLUTCH IS SLIPPING . VERY BAD IN THE BEGINNING , GRINDING NOISE IS COMING JUST BECAUSE THE CLUTCH IS SLIPPING . IT IS VERY ANNOYING TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE CITY OR ON THE HWY , WILL YOU PASS SOMEONE WITH A SLIPPING CLUTCH ? WILL YOU TURN SOMEWHERE QUICK LIKE RIGHT ON RED ? NO . IS THAT SAFE ? NO FORD HAS ITS OPINION , SOUNDS LIKE SOON ALL CARS WILL HAVE A SLIPPING CLUTCH SOON AND THAT IS NORMAL AFTER TBS UPDATE ITS LITTLE BETTER BUT NOT ENOUGH . YOUR CAR IS LEARNING THE WAY YOU DRIVE !!!! MMMMM HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU SEEN A DRY CLUTCH DOING BETTER AFTER IT SLIPS , NEVER !!!! 2014 FORD FOCUS NOTICED THE PROBLEM AT 700 MILES . OIL LEAKAGE MAYBE THE PROBLEM , MANY PEOPLE SAID THAT IT IS FINE AFTER SEALS REPLACEMENT IN THE BEGGING BUT NOT AFTER . I AM VERY MECHANICALLY INCLUDED GUY AND I AM THINKING THAT THERE IS SOMETHING IS WRONG ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SHAFTS OR CRANKSHAFT , NO MATTER HOW MANY SEALS THEY WILL INSTALL , IF THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE ARE BENT, NOT MACHINED CORRECTLY OR HAVE A PLAY THE SEALS WILL ALWAYS LEAK . IN THE RESULT THE OIL WILL CONTAMINATE THE CLUTCH . *TR
