NHTSA Complaint #11234488 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

FORD HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, AS WELL AS REPLACING THE TCM. BUT I CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES. CAR SHUDDERS DRAMATICALLY UNDER INITIAL ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS. TRANSMISSION SOMETIMES DOES NOT ENGAGE UNDER INITIAL ACCELERATION, CAUSING THE CAR TO SURGE FORWARD WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE. THE FORD FOCUS HAS SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL WHEN ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING THROUGH A WIDE TURN AT LOW SPEED AND THEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE NO FAITH IN THIS FORD FOCUS WHEN MAKING TURNS, AND WILL NOT CONDUCT A TURN THAT REQUIRES PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND RELYING ON THE CAR'S (IN)ABILITY TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID IMPEDING THAT ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
