NHTSA Complaint #10761208 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

THIS IS NOT THE ONLY ISSUE, BUT THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST DANGEROUS FOR ME... FOR THE PAST YEAR, THE CAR HAS LOST TRANSMISSION POWER WHILE DRIVING - I WAS ON HWY 40 AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED WORKING - TWICE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR CUT OFF - I WAS AT A NEAR STOP AND THE CAR STOPPED RESPONDING....THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY OTHERS. THE GAS PEDAL JUST STOPS RESPONDING AT ALL. THE TIME IT STOPPED WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, THE GEARS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO MOVE THE CAR INTO A PARK POSITION, IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT ALLOWED ME TO TURN MY CAR OFF, IN DRIVE. AFTER SITTING THERE FOR A BIT AND MULTIPLE RESTARTS, THE CAR ENGAGED AGAIN. FORD'S FIX? THEY CAME OUT WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT MAY TURN ON MY ENGINE LIGHT BEFORE A FAILURE. THIS IS NOT A FIX. I ASKED THEM IF SOMEONE NEEDED TO DIE IN THEIR CAR OR GET CRUSHED IN AN INTERSECTION FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING. I FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH FORD. SO FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY.
