NHTSA Complaint #10715441 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS SHIFTING ODD. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE LOW GEARS. SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND WAS VERY HARSH. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO FORD THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 30000 MILES ON IT AND WAS SURPRISED BY THIS. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. DURING THAT TIME I HAD PUT ON 40000 OR SO. BROUGHT IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PART THAT WAS "RECALLED". I HAD THE SEALS AND EVERYTHING ELSE REPLACED UNDER THE 14M01 RECALL. THIS INCLUDED A NEW CLUTCH AGAIN. NOW IT IS MAY 2015, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ABOUT 20000 OR SO FROM THE LAST TIME I HAD ANY WORK DONE AND ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS OF MY LAST TO REPAIRS ARE BACK. I NEED ANOTHER NEW CLUTCH (THIS WILL BE THE 4TH IN THE CAR). CONSIDERING ALL OF MY DRIVING IS ON THE HIGHWAY THIS NOT GOOD. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.
