NHTSA Complaint #11395180 — 2017 FORD FOCUS

MY 2017 FORD FOCUS FOR A WHILE NOW HAS HAD MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING STUTTERING, SHUDDERING, AND EVEN ROLLING BACKWARDS WHILE ON A HILL IN DRIVE. I HAVE HAD MY FORD FOCUS FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE UPDATED IT ON ALL OF ITS RECALLS. BUT, NOT TO LONG AFTER I GOT IT, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHOWING PROBLEMS AS THE ONES I LISTED EARLIER. IT BEGAN FIRST WITH THE STUTTERING AND THEN PHYSICALLY BECAME NOTICEABLE WHEN I ROLLED BACK ON A HILL. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS AND A LAWSUITS AGAINST FORD FOR THE PREVIOUS MODELS, PRIMARILY BETWEEN 2012-2016. BUT, I THINK THE 2017 HAS THE SAME ISSUES BUT NO RECALLS ON IT YET. I'M HOPING THAT BY FILING A REPORT, SOMETHING WILL COME OFF IT BECAUSE IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM. DEALERSHIPS ARE REAPING EVEN MORE BECAUSE AS SOON AS I HAD MY PROBLEMS, I IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP TO TELL TO THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A MATTER OF GETTING USED TO. SOMETHING ABOUT THE CAR ADJUSTING TO MY FOOT PRESSURE BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN GETTING WORSE. AFTER MUCH USAGE IS WHEN IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG. I'VE BEEN IN INSTANCES WHERE I'M TRYING TO TURN ON CITY STREETS BUT BECAUSE THE CAR STUTTERS, IT MAKES ME SLOW DOWN OR PAUSE; HENCE, PLACING ME IN POSITIONS OF ACCIDENTS OR SOMETHING WORSE. I JUST HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE.
