Consumer Description
I BOUGHT MY 2012 FORD FOCUS NEW. FORD HAS REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION/SEALS/ CLUTCHES FOUR TIMES THUS FAR. I HAVE HAD TO SCHEDULE THREE APPTS WITH PAUL MILLER FORD IN LEXINGTON KY SINCE TRANSMISSION #4. THE FIRST & SECOND INSPECTION PASSED ALL TESTS, 'IT'S WITHIN PARAMETERS' WAS THE ONLY RESPONSE THE TECHNICIAN WOULD TELL ME. MY THIRD APPT, MY TRANSMISSION FAILED & NOW NEED YET ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. FORD SAYS MY VEHICLE 'SAFE TO DRIVE'. WILL TAKE 2-3 MONTHS FOR PARTS. FOCUS CONTINUES TO: SHIFT ERRATIC, RPM NEEDLE IN 6-7 RANGE, TRANSMISSION SLIPS, JERKS, HESTITATES, BOGGS DOWN, DELAYED ACCELERATION, SHUDDERS, SURGES FORWARD WHEN STOPPING, DECREASED FUEL MILEAGE, AND TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING. THE COVER FOR UNDER CARRIAGE IS COVERED/CAKED WITH TRANSMISSION OIL. HOW CAN THIS VEHICLE BE SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN CLEARLY TESTING INDICATES THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED.
