NHTSA Complaint #10683252 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

THERE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH MY FORD FOCUS AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT I PERSONALLY KNOW THAT HAS THE CAR. SINCE THEY WENT TO THE DCT TRANSMISSION THE CAR HAS BEEN HAVING MANY ISSUES. IT IS A THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF ANYONE DRIVING IT. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE CLUTCHES IN THE CAR BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BLOWN ITS COMPUTER THAT DOES ALL THE SHIFTING SINCE HAVING THE CLUTCHES REPLACED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, AND PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. THANK GOD I WASN;T ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THAT HAPPENS. UPON ACCELERATION THE TRANSMISSION BUCKS AND DOESN'T GRAB TRACTION LIKE IT SHOULD. I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE THE PERSON WHO NEEDS THEIR CAR TO MOVE TO AVOID AND ACCIDENT, STEPS ON THE GAS, AND THE CAR HESTIATES BECAUSE OF THIS OBVIOUSLY FAULTY TRANSMISSION, AND GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE ASKED MY DEALERSHIP TO MAKE GOOD AND JUST BUY THE CAR BACK AND GET ME INTO A DIFFERENT CAR, BUT THEY WON'T BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AUTHROIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO DO THAT, AND FORD SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS DAFE. IT OBVIOUSLY ISN'T. *TR
