Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT MY 2014 FORD FOCUS DURING MY FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE. I STARTED TO NOTICE THE CARS CLUTCH SLIPPING IMMEDIATELY. AFTER PERSISTENTLY TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR A YEAR, FORD FINALLY ADMITTED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND THAT THEY WOULD GET ME IN THE LIST FOR A NEW CLUTCH. THEY (I ASSUME INTENTIONALLY) PROLONGED THE PROCESS JUST LONG ENOUGH TO ESCAPE THE LEMON LAW. WITHIN A MONTH OF HAVING MY CLUTCH REPLACED I STARTED TO NOTICE IT SLIPPING. I HAVE NOT HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED AGAIN BECAUSE I FEEL THERE IS NO POINT. I NEED TO SELL MY CAR AND GET A NEW ONE THAT I FEEL SAFE DRIVING, BUT I AM UPSIDE DOWN ON MY LOAN. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM FORD AGAIN.
