Consumer Description

THIS 2008 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD SLIPPING WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN 4TH GEAR FROM 30000 MILES WHEN I TOOK TO DEALER THEY SAID UNTIL IT HAS A COMPLETE FAILURE THEY WOULD NOT TAKE DOWN AND INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION.IT IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND I SOLD CAR TAKING A SIGNIFICANT LOSS. AT 58,000 THE 4TH GEAR COMPLETELY FAILED CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN OVER 30-40 MPH .IF THIS HAPPENED ON A EXPRESSWAY A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.I'M AM SURE I AM NOT A UNIQUE FORD OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND A RECALL ON THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE. *TR
