Consumer Description
I CAN SPEND THE REMAINDER OF MY DAY REGURGITATING ALL THE ISSUES THOSE THAT HAVE PROCEEDED ME HAVE DETAILED OR SAY THIS. I PURCHASED THE 2012 FORD FOCUS TITANIUM (WITH EVERYTHING) IT'S A GREAT CAR ON THE INSIDE AND THE ENGINE FOR A 4 CYLINDER KICKS @$$ SINCE 2012 IT HAS HAD MAJOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT (NOT JUST SOFTWARE UPDATES X3) 4 TIMES.... THAT'S RIGHT 4 MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES, 1 NEW TRANSMISSION AND SEVERAL REBUILDS. THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE WILL ENSURE I NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN...!!!! FINAL STRAW CHRISTMAS 2015 DRIVING DOWN THE STREET LOOKING AT THE LIGHTS ENJOYING THE COLD WEATHER, HOLIDAYS, ETC. CAR SLAMS (I MEAN LITERALLY WE WERE THROWN FORWARD AND OUR SEAT-BELTS LOCKED IN PLACE) AND THE AWESOME SYNC SCREEN DISPLAYED "SEEK IMMEDIATE TRANSMISSION REPAIR"... FAMILY AND I SPENT THE REMAINDER OF THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY IN A RENTAL. ONLY TO BE TOLD "GLAD THAT DID NOT HAPPEN TO YA ON THE HIGHWAY HUH, IT WAS ONLY THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL UNIT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED" IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY!!! WTF?
