NHTSA Complaint #11269358 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2014 I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS. SENSORS. EVERYTIME GIVEN A DIFFERENT EXCUSE FOR THE SAME SHUTTER AND ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING. THIS LAST TIME THE CAR COMPLETELY HAULTED FROM GOING 45MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD, TRASMISSION LIGHT FLEW ON, RPMS WOULD REV UP, BUT CAR WOULD BARELY CREEP. I WAS ALMOST SLAMMED INTO FROM BEHIND BEFORE I COULD SAFETY MOVE TO THE SLOW LANE AND TRAVEL TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT. YES THE CAR WAS STILL ABKE TO NAVIGATE, BUT THAT DID NOT MATTER WHEN VEHICLES WERE COMING UP ON ME DRIVING 45+MPH TO MY VEHICLE THAT STALLED OUT. I CALLED FORD. IT TOOK DAYS TO GET THE CAR BACK AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING WORSE THAN EVER! TRANSMISSION IS CONSTANTLY SLIPPING. A NEW CONSTANT SHUTTER HAS NOW DEVELOPED. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES BEGIN TO MOVE FROM A STOP LIGHT, BUT DECIDE TO SUDDENLY DROP TO A CRAWL AND THE RPMS GO HIGH THEN AS IT CORRECTS THE RPMS NO LONGER ADJUST AND THE CAR NO LONGER FEELS IT IS AUTO SHIFTING CORRECTLY. ISSUES OCCUR DURING DRIVING, ON HIGHWAYS, AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS. WHEN GOING A STEADY SPEED WHEATHER IS IT 25 OR 65 THE CAR CONSTANTLY SHUTTERS ALL THE TIME NOW. THE TRANSMISSION OR CLUTCH SLIP ANYTIME ANY GIVEN DAY. IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. WORSE MORE DANGEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND NO HELP FROM FORD.
