Consumer Description

MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE HAS A REALLY BAD HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS, IT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS ON HILLS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. VERY HORRIBLE SHUDDERING AND VIBRATION IN FRONT END. CLUNKING AND CHATTERING WHEN DRIVING. SLOW RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. I FEEL LIKE MY CAR HAS TO SEARCH FOR THE GEAR SOMETIMES. RPM WILL RISE AND LOWER WEIRDLY WHEN SHIFTING. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR YET BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE JUST LIKE THE OLDER FOCUS'S. THIS WAS ALL IN MOTION UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I'VE TRIED TAKING TO DEALER BUT THEY SAY NO RECALL YET!!!! IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME, FEELS TO GET WORSE.
