Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY FOCUS IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION. EACH TIME THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCHES & SEALS. NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS THE CLUTCHES, SEALS, THROW OUT BEARING AND FORKS AT A COST OF $2231.00 & IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2013 & FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. I WOULD SAY THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL AS MECHANICAL.
