NHTSA Complaint #10980501 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR IT STUDDERING AND NOT SHIFTING RIGHT. IT HAS STILL SHUDDERED ONCE IN A WHILE WHILE GOING FORWARD COASTING AND TURNING BUT NOT AS BAD AS WHEN I TOOK IT IN. I LOVE MY FOCUS BUT AM SO UPSET THAT IT NOW HAS A MAJOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR, GETTING OIL CHANGES ECT WHEN DUE. GANLEY FORD IN BARBERTON NOW HAS IT AND IS TAKING IT APART TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A CAR THIS NEW. IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS AND DRIVING AT ABOUT 40-50MPH. THE NOISE WAS LOUD LIKE A RACE CAR, VIBRATION NOISE. I TOOK IT IN TO FORD THE FOLLOWING DAY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I MOSTLY DRIVE ON STREET, NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. IT WAS IN DRIVE GOING FORWARD THAT THE NOISE ISSUE OCCURED, GETTING LOUDER THE WARMER THE CAR WAS.
