NHTSA Complaint #10661058 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

IT STARTED UP AROUND 1500 MILES. THE CAR WOULD MAKE A SOUND AS IF I WAS DRAGGING PLASTIC UNDER IT WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR REVERSE. WHEN I GET ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR WOULD REV TO HIGH RPMS THEN IT WOULD SLIP LIKE AS IF IT MISSED A SHIFT. I HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE I COME TO A STOP AND THE CAR CATCHES UP WITH ITSELF AND LURCHES FORWARD WHERE I HAVE TO SLAM MY BREAKS. WHEN COMING OFF A STOP I REALLY HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT TO THE PEDAL TO GET THE CAR UP TO 25MPH. SEEMS TO BE A LACK OF POWER. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO FORD ALREADY, THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD TAKE UP TO 3 DAYS. IT WAS DONE THE SAME DAY. THEY SAID THEY HAD TO RE-PROGRAM THE SYSTEM. AFTER THEY DID THIS IT SEEMED TO ACCEL AND BRAKE A LOT BETTER. IT DID NOT FIX MY GRINDING/RATTLING SOUND IN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION LIKE I HAD TOLD THEM IT HAD. I TOLD THEM IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHUTTER OR CLUTCH ISSUE. EVERY WHERE I LOOK IT SAYS THEY ARE INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS ON THESE MODELS AND STILL NOTHING. ITS COMING TO A POINT IM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. *TR
