Consumer Description

I FINANCED MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE IN OCTOBER 2018. IT HAD 43,600 APPROX MI ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS JUST TO WORK AND HOME (6 MI ONE WAY) MON - FRI AND WEEKEND ERRANDS IN TOWN, I NOTICED THE CAR STARTED HAVING A SHAKE WHEN I WOULD DRIVE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. MY DAD CAME AND GOT THE CAR TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE FUEL FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION. HE ADVISED THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 2 MORE TIMES SINCE AND I HAVE 68,500 MI ON THE VEHICLE NOW. THE SHAKING IS WORSE THAN EVER AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I NEED FORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE PERMANENTLY. FORD HAS NOW TOLD ME THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I WENT 30 MI OVER AT THE TIME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION AND IS REFUSING TO ADMIT FORD HAS MADE A MISTAKE. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME, NOT A RECURRING ISSUE THAT PUTS ADDITIONAL STRESS AND FEAR. ISN'T COVID ALREADY CAUSING ENOUGH OF THAT? THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF WHEN I HAVE TO STOP AND GO FORWARD DRIVING.
