Consumer Description

THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CARS. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS, JUGS, VIBRATE REALLY BAD AND GRINDS TO THE POINT IS FRUSTRATING AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING THRU THIS. FORD SAYS THERE IS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A GOOD WORKING TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR. THIS CAR IS ONLY 18 MILES AND I DONT EVEN USE IT THAT MUCH AS EVERY TIME GETS WORST. THIS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER YOU START DRIVING THE CAR. YOU NEED TO DRIVE SLOW SO THAT YOU DONT FEEL THIS ISSUE. I REALLY HATE MY CAR FOR THAT REASON. IS REALLY GOOD IN GAS BUT THAT IS IT! HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/FOCUS/2016/RECALLS/ ALSO INFO HERE HTTPS://CALIFORNIALEMONLAWGROUP.COM/2017-FORD-FOCUS-NEW-LOOK-SAME-PROBLEMATIC-TRANSMISSION/ I AM POSSITIVE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I WISH SOMETIMES I COULD JUST RETUR OR GET ANOTHER CAR.
