NHTSA Complaint #10694974 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

I PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN EARLY 2014. I HAD THIS CAR NOT EVEN TWO YEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE CAR SHAKES, RATTLES, AND STALLS AS I'M DRIVING. THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM FORD STATES THAT THIS IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE CAR. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID ON MY CAR IS LEAKING AND CONTAMINATED. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WOULD BE ALMOST EMPTY IN 24 HOURS. IN ORDER TO USE MY CAR FOR A DAY, I WOULD NEED TO REFILL MY CAR WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID SO IT WILL AT LEAST MOVE. THE CAR AT TIMES WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE POWER-SHIFT STRUGGLES TO CHANGE GEARS AND AT TIMES WON'T ACCELERATE. THIS PROBLEM MAYBE NOW BEGINNING TO AFFECT MY ENGINE. THE FOCUS WON'T EVEN START AT TIMES. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE RADIO WILL GO ON/OFF AND WITH TIME, SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. THEIR ARE ALSO REPORTS OF CAR WILL ROLL BACK ON HILLS WHEN IN DRIVE AND IT DOES. THE FORD FOCUS 2012 HAS TOO MANY DESIGN AND MANUFACTURER PROBLEMS NOT TO HAVE A RECALL OR LEMON LAWSUITS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO SIMPLY BE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER MODEL (NOT 2013 OR 2014 MODELS, SAME REPORTS) OR FULL REIMBURSEMENT. *TR
