NHTSA Complaint #11287506 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. BEFORE I COULD GET IT DIAGNOSED I WAS ON THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I COMPLETELY LOST POWER. IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD JUST SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND I WAS GIVING GAS BUT GOING NOWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND CARRY ON. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ALMOST 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I SUDDENLY COMPLETELY LOST POWER AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BUT IT WAS FAIRLY TERRIFYING TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NOT HAVE POWER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR RESTARTED AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME. DURING THIS TIME I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A WARRANTY EXTENSION ALL THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY CHANGED THE MODULE. I DROVE IT TO WORK AFTER A FEW DAYS AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT MUST BE A BA D MODULE SO THEY PUT IN A NEW 1. NOW HAVE ISSUES WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON THAT CAN'T BE RESOLVED. THAT IS HOW THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES STARTED ORIGINALLY. I DON'T TRUST TO TAKE THIS CAR ON A TRIP. IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 68000 MILES ON IT BUT I HAVE LOST FAITH IN IT. WHAT IF MY DAUGHTER OR MY WIFE WERE DRIVING IT AND THIS HAPPENED. I CAN'T IMAGINE.
