Consumer Description
I OWN A 2012 FORD FOCUS SE THAT CONTINUES TO DISPLAY ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS INCLUDES DELAYED ACCELERATION, JERKING, AND BUCKING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THIS ENDANGERED BOTH MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THE OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. MY FORD FOCUS HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO INCLUDE THE DEALERSHIP PURCHASED FROM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED BOTH UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND STILL DISPLAYS ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I AM HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IF EVEN AFTER I CONTINUE TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS MY SAFETY AND WHAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY PLANS TO DO. YOU ASK FOR A DATE AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENED BUT IT HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2012. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE SAME LINES I HAVE HEARD FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS REGARDING MY VEHICLE.
