NHTSA Complaint #10713682 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

I HAVE OWNED MY FORD FOCUS FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR- IT'S A 2014 MODEL. I BOUGHT THE CAR AFTER I WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MY 2012 FORD FIESTA, WHICH I TRADED IN FOR A FOCUS AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY REBUILT BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR HAD SUGGESTED I GO TO A FORD FOCUS AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS DIFFERENT FROM MY FIESTA. HE CLEARLY WAS NOT HONEST WITH ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOW, I HAVE STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS FORD FOCUS AS EARLY AS LAST MONTH; THE SAME ISSUES THAT LED THEM TO REBUILD MY FIESTA TRANSMISSION, WHICH DID NOT END UP FIXING THE ISSUE. IT HAS BEGUN SHAKING AND GRINDING WHEN ACCELERATING. IT GRINDS WHILE IN MOTION AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND HAVE BEEN FINDING THAT SEVERAL REPORTS AND LAW SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH NO RESPONSE. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT IN HOPES THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT THIS. IT IS NOT OK THAT THESE CARS ARE BEING SOLD. *TR
