NHTSA Complaint #11301044 — 2014 FORD FOCUS

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND SOMEONE ON A BICYCLE CAME BY. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE MY RPM'S SHOT WAY HIGH AND MY CAR TRIED TO DRIVE ITSELF FORWARD. LUCKILY THE BIKE RIDER HAD GONE BY. BUT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN HIT IF MY CAR DID WHAT IT TRIED TO DO. I HAVE BEEN HONKED AT AND HIGH BEAMED WHEN I TRY TO PASS SOMEONE ON A HIGHWAY AND I END UP WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR ENDS ME BECAUSE MY CAR WONT GO. WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HAS TO TRAGICALLY DIE BEFORE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FORD FOCUS' ON THE ROAD. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE. FORD KNEW THAT, THERE IS PROOF THEY KNEW THAT AND MADE THEM ANYWAY. ITS YOUR JOB AS HIGHWAY SAFETY TO MAKE THEM LIABLE AND GET BETTER STANDARDS BEFORE CARS ARE SENT TO DISTRIBUTION. THERE SHOULD BE MORE PREVENTION THAN THERE IS CORRECTING. DON'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET HURT BEFORE DECIDING THESE CARS ARE BAD AND UNSAFE. THAT SHOULD BE A BASIC HUMAN REACTION. NOT A CORPORATE ONE. I HAVE SENT TWO VIDEOS I TOOK. ONE OF MY RPMS SPORADICALLY GOING UP AND DOWN AND MY CAR NOT SHIFTING OR HAVING POWER. AND THE OTHER MY RPM'S GOING UP AS I'M COMING TO A STOP. WHICH IS NOT NORMAL. IT SHOULD NOT TRY TO REV ITSELF AS I'M SLOWING DOWN TO AN ALMOST COMPLETE STOP. I GUESS I CANT UPLOAD THE TYPE OF VIDEO I HAVE. BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO SEND THEM ANOTHER WAY IF YOU'D LIKE.
