Consumer Description
SINCE PURCHASING MY 2015 FORD FOCUS BRAND NEW IN JULY 2015, I WAS STONEWALLED BY TWO DEALERSHIPS OVER THE CLUTCH SHUDDERING/JERKING/JUMPING ISSUE BEFORE A THIRD DEALERSHIP (IN ANOTHER STATE!) FINALLY REPLACED IT. SHORTLY AFTER I HAD A FRONT COVER OIL LEAK THAT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN, ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS ON THE VISOR AND RADIO CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING, THEY FIXED MOST OF IT BUT THE PASSENGER VISOR LIGHT STILL DOESN'T WORK. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND IN THE RADIO, THEN THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE TRANSMISSION BLEW WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, THEN THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. A PUDDLE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS UNDER THE CAR AFTER IT WAS TOWED AWAY.
