NHTSA Complaint #10748830 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

WHILE DIRVING OUR 2012 FORD FOCUSE WHICH WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD START TO SLIP AND CHATTER. IT TOOK LONGER TO ACCERALATE TO SPEED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP ON 19AUG2012 AND THEY CALIBRATED THE TRANSMISSION. WE DROVE THE CAR UNTIL IT STARTED AGAIN TWO MONTHS LATER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP ON THE 22 NOV 2013 TO A DIFFERENT CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE A SEAL ON THE CLUTCH WHICH WAS ALLOWING FLUID TO DRIP ON CLUTCH PLATE AND ALLOW TO SLIP WILL DRIVING. DROVE THE CAR AND IT WAS WORKING BETTER. BUT OVER TIME THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND THEN GOT WORSE. TOOK THE CAR BAKE IN BECAUSE ON THE 9AUG2015 I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLIP AGAIN THEN IT OVER HEATED AND HAD A MALFUNCTION. I HAD LOST ALL MY GEARS ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. THEY REPLACED SOME PARTS AND WHEN 2 DAYS OF GETTING IT BACK IT IS STARTING TO SLIP AGAIN. I AM CALLING DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE UNLESS THEY FIX THEIR TRANSMISSION.
