Consumer Description

HI I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE 2018 FORD FOCUS HAS THE SAME CLUTCH AS THE OLD 2012-2016 FORD FOCUSES AND THAT THEY'LL CHANGE THE CLUTCH AND THAT THEY'RE IS NO REAL FIX. I SEEN THAT THE 2012-2016 FORD FOCUS HAS A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION HOWEVER THE 2018 DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL THROUGH THE NHSTA AND IT IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE DEALER SAYS PEOPLE NEED TO NOTIFY THE NHSTA AS IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND THAT THEY CHANGE MANY CLUTCHES AND TRANSMISSIONS ON THE 2017-2018 AND THAT THE PROBLEM KEEPS PERSISTING THE SAME AS THE 2012-2016 MODELS. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES, AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL ALSO GRIND WHILE DRIVING.
