Consumer Description
THE FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH THE OPERATOR AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. ALL FORD FOCUS/FIESTAS WITH THE DPS6 TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY RECALLED AND REMOVED FROM UNITED STATES' ROADWAYS. THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE REIMBURSED THE COST THEY PAID FOR THE VEHICLES AT THE EXPENSE OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE INCONSISTENCIES IN ACCELERATION AND MAINTAINING GEAR ARE ENDANGERING LIVES. THE LONGER THESE MODELS STAY ON THE ROAD, THE MORE LIKELY THEY ARE TO FAIL. SINCE FORD IS NO LONGER REPLACING/REPAIRING THESE ISSUES, PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO DRIVE DEFECTIVE CARS THAT CAN FAIL WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE CLUTCH SYSTEM REPLACED 5 TIMES IN ONLY 62,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION IS NOW SLIPPING AGAIN BUT FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR IT FURTHER. I AM NOW DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.
