Consumer Description

THE 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT LURCHES AS SLOW SPEED OF LESS THAN 20 MPG AND IT HUNTS FOR A GEAR WHEN PASSING OTHER CARS (50 TO 60 MPH). THE TRANSMISSION IS TWO THREE SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS SHIFTED ELECTRONICALLY AND IT DOES NOT WORK. I WOULD IMAGINE THERE HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO CATCH THE CAR WHEN IT LURCHES IT WILL RUN INTO OTHER VEHICLES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT I THINK NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS FORD NEEDS TO GET AN ENGINEER THAT UNDERSTANDS HOW TO PROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEND SOME TIME WORKING WITH THE SHIFT POINTS. *TR
