Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2015 AND EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY WILL HESITATE WHEN DOING THRUWAY AND CITY DRIVING. WHEN THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED AT THIS PROBLEM (THAT IS WHO I USE TO SERVICE THIS CAR) ON MANY OCCASIONS, THEY SAY IT IS JUST THEY WAY THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AND IT IS NOT A SAFETY PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THERE ARE ALLEGATIONS THAT FORD KNOWINGLY SOLD THE FOCUS WITH DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSIONS.
