NHTSA Complaint #11012856 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

SOMETIMES IT WON'T GO IN REVERSE, IT STUTTERS, SHUDDERS, STALLS (WHICH IS NOT GREAT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC OR MAKE A TURN) WON'T GO INTO GEAR (SHIFT). BROUGHT IT IN FOR TCM RECALL AND THEY FIXED AND EXTENDED ORIGINAL WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES BUT NOW IT'S PAST THAT, MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP. TOOK IT AGAIN TO DEALER BECAUSE OF TRANS AND THEY WANTED $170.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I'M ON A FIXED INCOME AND JUST DON'T HAVE THE EXTRA. I HAD IT "FIXED" BY A MECHANIC FRIEND AT HIS SHOP AND HE SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION! IT HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE! FORD NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON THIS!
