Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM FULLY STOPPED, SUCH AS WHEN DEPARTING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT ALSO SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED, SUCH AS COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWLY TURNING ONTO A STREET. THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES AS IT TRIES TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM. I HAVE READ DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF IDENTICAL ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER 2017 FORD FOCUS OWNERS. SOMETHING IS INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE POWERTRAIN SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE FLEET AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.
