NHTSA Complaint #10874725 — 2015 FORD FOCUS

FORD NEEDS TO ISSUE A FORMAL RECALL FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS IN ITS FOCUS MODELS. THERE IS A WIDE-SPREAD ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING AND FORD IS AWARE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE!! I HAVE GOTTEN TWO "TRANSMISSION FAULT" ALARMS AND CANNOT SAFELY PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. THE CAR STUTTERS AND SKIPS. FORD IS NOT DEALING WITH THIS. THEY MAKE FOCUS OWNERS WAIT 6-8 WEEKS FOR A PART BUT THAT DOESN'T REMEDY THE ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT OTHER FORD FOCUS OWNERS WHO HAVE RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PART CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM. FORD DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT THESE AUTO TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY. THEY ARE HAZARDOUS. I CANNOT ACCELERATE OR PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT THE FOCUS' TRANSMISSION STUTTERING AND SKIPPING. IT IS NOTSAFE. PLEASE MAKE FORD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE FOCUS AUTO TRANSMISSION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THEY NEED TO BUY-BACK THESE VEHICLES.
