NHTSA Complaint #10730749 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ON COMING TRAFFIC HAD A GREEN LEFT ARROW ALLOWING THEM TO TURN THEM IN FRONT OF ME. ONCE THE TRAFFIC CLEARED, I STARTED MY RIGHT TURN. THE CAR STUTTERED AS I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME APPEARED TO ALMOST HIT ME AS MY ACCELERATION WAS ALMOST NOT EXISTENT. I PRESSED THE GAS FURTHER AND FINALLY AROUND 5500 RPM, THE CAR SEEMED TO 'ENGAGE' SINCE IT LURCHED AND THE TIRES CHIRPED A BIT AS THEY GRABBED THE PAVEMENT.
