NHTSA Complaint #10693650 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

HELLO I PURCHASED MY 2014 FORD FOCUS SEPT 1, 2014 DECIDED TO GET A FORD BEING THAT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT TOYOTA COROLLAS IN THE PAST AND A PLYMOUTH NEON THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME BUT PREFER COROLLAS ANYWAYS SOON AFTER I WAS DRIVING IT I NOTICED A JERKING, REVVING ON TAKE OFF AT FIRST I THOUGHT OK IT'S JUST ME BUT WHEN MY SISTERS NOTICED IT AND MY BROTHER WHILE HE TOOK IT TO THE STORE THAT'S WHEN I KNEW IT WASN'T JUST ME. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER UPON TAKE OFF WHICH MAKES ME REALLY UNCERTAIN AND AFRAID I DON'T FEEL INSURE LETTING ANYONE RIDE WITH ME. I DRIVE UP ORTEGA HWY A LOT SINCE MY SON LIVES IN MISSION VIEJO IT'S A VERY UP HILL RIDE THE CAR JERKS A LOT AND AGAIN HAS NO POWER I LITERALLY HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS FOR IT TO MOVE. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TWICE NOW TO GET CHECKED AND BOTH TIMES THEY PERFORMED A UPDATE ON THE ENGINE WAS WHAT I WAS TOLD AND THAT THE CAR WAS FINE. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY CAR I FEEL THAT I GOT RIPPED OF THEY SHOULD DISCONTINUE THIS CARS INSTEAD OF SELLING THEM THEY ARE VERY HAZARDS AND SHOULD NOT BE OUT ON THE ROADS. I AM CONTINUING MAKING MY PAYMENTS SINCE I DON'T WANT IT TO AFFECT MY CREDIT BUY I AM NOT TO HAPPY SINCE THE CAR I THOUGHT WAS IN GOOD STANDARDS IS NOT I WISH I WOULD OF KNOWN THIS WHEN I WAS BUYING THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THE KIND OF TRANSMISSION I KNOW THAT I DID TELL THEM I WANT A AUTOMATIC NOT A DUAL AUTOMATIC AND STANDARD TRANSMISSION NOT A HAPPY PERSON RIGHT NOW. VERY DISAPPOINTING. *TR
