Consumer Description
THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS, LIVING IN A HILLY STATE, THIS CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS DOWN HILL WHILST STILL IN A FORWARD GEAR. IN LIGHT OF FORDS RECENT QUIET RECALL FOR OTHER FOCUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES, THEY STILL HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THE FACT THAT THE CAR ROLLS QUICKLY BACKWARDS WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED AND BECAUSE OF THE SHUDDERING TRANSMISSION, IT CANNOT GRIP AND GO FORWARD. IF I HAD WANTED TO DRIVE WITH BOTH FEET I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A MANUAL. I AM SADDENED BY THE FACT THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION IS WAITING FOR FATALITIES RATHER THAN ORDER A LARGE CORPORATION TO WITHDRAW THEIR DANGEROUS PRODUCT. I THOUGHT YOU WORKED FOR ME AND ALL AMERICANS TO KEEP US SAFE ON THE ROAD? PROTECTING THE PUBLIC WHO HAVE BEEN SOLD AN UNSAFE VEHICLE??? I WOULD WAGER EVERY FOCUS SOLD SINCE 2012 IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE LOG MY COMPLAINT WITH THE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS YOU HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT THESE FORD TRANSMISSIONS. THANK YOU. *TR
