Consumer Description

MY 2016 FORD FOCUS SE GIVES ME GREAT CONCERN WHEN DRIVING AS THE TRANSMISSION CONSISTENTLY SKIPS/JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. THERE WERE 2 SEPARATE INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR HAS SKIPPED GEARS, CAUSING CHANGE OF SPEEDS AND NEARLY HAD 2 ACCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAY. MY MOST RECENT ONE WAS RIGHT BEFORE I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE FORD SERVICE CENTER RIGHT BEFORE MY WARRANTY CLOSED AND REQUESTED THEY FIX, HOWEVER WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND IT OPERATES PROPERLY.
