2013 FORD FOCUS Vehicle Speed Control Problems

erratic shifting and eratic slipping gears , first happened while on highway and then it wouldnt go in any gear besides reverse and would say transmission overheat wait 5 min . caused another veihcal behind me to slam on there brakes and they ended up getting rear ended from the car behind them ..... all becouse of my cars tcm or transmission issues>!!!! also not too mention ` random unusual noises coming from clutch or shifter when not even start car yet _delayed start and delayed shifting .. i could go on and on this car is a nightmare

When I drive my car it takes time before it kicks in to drive correctly

I have a current recall on my transmission I notify for it. I went up there to get the recall fixed. They plugged it up to the machine to see about my transmission, and they said it came back with a cold that was not associated with the recall for my transmission, but it did say something was wrong with my transmission, I looked into that popped up on the cold reader and it’s it. I gave them the number and they said that Ford will be unable to pay for it and they told me I would have to pay $175 in order to hook it up to the main machine to see what exactly the code is if it match the cold that will pay for me new transmission. I explained to them that if I have a recall on the car for my door, lash and my...

My car will intermittently lose power, such as in the middle of an intersection, or turning in front of another vehicle, which puts me and my children at risk. The transmission is throwing a code for overheating and malfunctioning, and there is an open customer satisfaction bulletin for the transmission control module, but Ford refuses to replace it because it’s not throwing “the correct code “ I have had the clutch replaced three times if not four in the time that I’ve had the vehicle and it’s more than frustrating. It’s dangerous along with losing power. It will intermittently catch the gear that is trying to shift into and cause the car to accelerate rapidly, the transmission, shutter control module and clutch have been an issue in this car, along with a class action lawsuit, and now Ford has had my vehicle for three weeks, and refuses to do the...

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. The contact stated that during acceleration and takeoff, the vehicle shuddered and jumped forward. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that a reset was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

There are multiple issues going wrong with my car and I have 5 children and this makes me angry and scared to drive it 1. Vehicle completely shuts down if you go under 1/4 tank and NOT on red at all! No gas light or anything 2. The hesitation from stop to go is getting worse" mechanics tell me this is normal" for a focus and now sometimes when accelerating on the highway it gets stuck in certain speeds and feels rougher 3. Now there is a chain like rattling noise upon idle that is annoying and embarrassing 4 the codes state oxygen sensor ,speed sensor,fuel valve issue, and power train and abs... It's 100.00 per issue to diagnose. How is anyone able to afford this? I'm not a mechanic but everytime I take my car in they give it back saying there's no issue or I have to pay...

WHEN I DRIVE IN THE RAIN MY CAR WILL SPUTTER AND LOSE SPEED. THE OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT TURNS ON AND IT DIES. I CAN GET IT TO TURN OVER BUT IT IMMEDIATELY DIES.I HAVE HAD TO GET IT TOWED TWICE. STILL CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT THE POSTED SPEED OF 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR ENGINE RPM DROPPED TO 2000 AND THEN BACK UP TO 4000 THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED TO 50 MPH CAUSING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TO SLAM IN THEIR BRAKES. THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT TO SPEED UP CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER AND CREEP TO A GAS STATION.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I GOT IT 5 YEARS AGO. I WAS LEAVING TO TAKE MY SON TO A DR APPOINTMENT. I GOT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE NOW POPS UP. A LOUD POP SOUND CAME THRU MY SPEAKERS AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THEN I STARTED LOSING RPMS AND POWER TO MY CAR IT WOULDN'T GO OVER 10MPH. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT BACK HOME VERY SLOWLY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON I'VE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND PURGE VALVE. I'VE HAD ALL THE RECALLS FIXED ON IT DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN FORD MADE THIS CAR THEY CLEARLY WASN'T THINKING STRAIGHT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I'M SO GLAD WE MADE IT BACK HOME SAFE MY CHILD WAS TERRIFIED. NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT AND I DON'T HAVE...

I PURCHASED A FORD FOCUS SE FROM MCCARTHY FORD IN ILLINOIS IN 2015. SINCE HAVING THE CAR, I'VE CONSTANTLY EXPERIENCED JERKING WHILE ACCELERATING, LACK OF ACCELERATION, WHICH WAS DANGEROUS, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TRUCKS SPEEDING BY YOU BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE QUICK ENOUGH. I CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED TO FORD DEALER ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND THE KEPT REPAIRING IT UNDER THE GUISE THAT 'OH YOUR TCM(TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) BEDS REPROGRAMMING' OR IT WAS 'YOUR CAR WAS ORIGINALLY A STICK SHIFT THAT THEY TURNED AUTOMATIC, AND WHAT YOU FEEL, IS YOUR CAR SHIFTING GEARS'. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY ASSURED ME I DIDN'T HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, SO I LET THEM FIX THIS SAME ISSUE MORE THAN 5 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF WARRANTY. IN JULY 2020, MY CAR STOPPED AND WOULDN'T DRIVE AT ALL. I TOOK IT TO FORD, AND THEY...

I REPORTED THIS ISSUE WHEN I HAD MY FOCUS IN 2014....IT WAS DISMISSED. NOW, 4 TIMES IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP AND 4 TIMES IT WASN'T FIXED, 4 TIMES I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS EACH TIME, COSTING ME A TOTAL OF $2,755 IN ALL FOR NOTHING TO BE RESOLVED. I TRADED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS LITERALLY A SAFETY HAZZARD BUT NO ONE WOULD DESIGNATE IT THAT AT THE TIME.

THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT AN UNKNOWN SOFTWARE UPDATE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE....

VEHICLE HAS KNOWN ISSUES THRU FORD. JUST HAD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REPLACED WAS DRIVING CAR MONDAY IT STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN CAR IT LURCHED SHUDDERS. AT FORD DEALER SAID IT IS SOME SORT OF TRANSMISSION FORK 1900.00 TO FIX VEHICLE HAS RECALLS BUT FORD WON'T HONOR THE TRANSMISSION BY CERTAIN DEALERS

WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FEBRUARY 2017 AT 70,000 MILES, I WAS GIVEN A CARFAX STATING THE ONLY ISSUE WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH. LESS THAN A MONTH IN, I SEEMED TO BE LOSING POWER SO I TOOK IT TO TOWN & COUNTRY FORD IN MADISON, TN. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL ISSUE AND I DROVE IN RELATIVE SATISFACTION FOR ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR. THEN I TOOK IT INTO TWO RIVERS FORD (MT. JULIET) FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE SERVICE GUY WAS VERY AMICABLE AND EVEN ARRANGED FOR ME TO HAVE A LOANER CAR WHILE THEY HAD MINE. THE SAME ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT WITH AN ADDITIONAL FIX. I PAID $125 FOR SOME PART NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL WARRANTY BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WERE TO MALFUNCTION AGAIN, IT MAY NOT BE COVERED. THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT IN (BACK TO MT JULIET)...

WHILE TURNING A CORNER MY CAR VIBRATES AND SHAKES AND HEAR AS IF METAL IS HITTING UNDERNEATH. WHEN PUSHING ON GAS TO GO, THE CAR WILL JERK. DOESN'T WANT TO REV LIKE IT NEEDS TO. WILL SHAKE AGGRESSIVELY WHEN BRAKING. HAVE TO LET OFF GAS THEN PUSH BACK DOWN ON IT TO MAKE IT STOP SHAKING. ALSO VIBRATES WHEN IN PARK INTENSELY

I WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP FOR THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15 MPH. HOWEVER, THE RPM'S WENT UP TO 4-5. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED WHEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AFTER EACH STOP SIGN AND LIGHT ON CITY STREETS..

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT .THE TRANSMISSION HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT JERKS ,SHUDDERS AND SLIPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR AT RANDOM . WE HAVE HAD 4 CLUTCHES ,A TCM, 2 PURGE VALE REPLACEMENTS AND COUNTLESS SOFTWARE UPDATES. IT HAS COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO PROPEL ITSELF ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS; ONCE WHILE WE WERE TAKING IT IN TO THE DEALER . WHEN WE GOT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD US THAT "YES THAT CAN HAPPEN SOMETIMES " !!! PLEASE HELP US AND HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR RECKLESS DECISION TO ALLOW THESE VEHICLES TO BE SOLD TO CHUMPS LIKE ME . THEY HAVE DELIBERATELY AND REPEATEDLY BLAMED US FOR THEIR MISTAKE . WE ARE UNABLE TO USE OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE .

DPS6 TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AND SLIPPING ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED UNDER MULTIPLE OWNERS AND HAD THE CLUTCHES REPLACED AS WELL AS THE SOFTWARE RE-FLASHED. FORD DEALER STATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET IT FIXED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED BY FORD. I WAS CHARGED FOR A RE-FLASH I WAS NEVER CALLED TO AUTHORIZED, THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE SHUDDERING ISSUE. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE CARD DECIDED TO NOT SHIFT GOING THROUGH A STOP LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I CONTACTED FORD AND THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED "YOU NEED TO DRIVE IT MORE AGGRESSIVELY". FORD OPENED A CASE TO REVIEW THE POOR SERVICE AND THEY HAVE NEVER CONTACTED ME AGAIN.

VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES COMING IN A VARIETY OF FORMS. AT TIMES I WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, WITH MY PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, WHILE THE CAR SEEMS TO 'COAST' AND WITH NO EXPLANATION. OTHER TIMES I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE'S ALERT LIGHTS COME ON WITH A WARNING THE TRANSMISSION HAS OVERHEATED AND TO PULL OVER 'IMMEDIATELY.' THIS IS DIFFICULT TO DO WHEN ON A 55 MPH ZONE OR ON THE HIGHWAY; THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE HAS LED TO MULTIPLE INCIDENCES PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO MERGE WHERE VEHICLES HAVE HAD TO SWERVE OR STOP BECAUSE I AM IN THEIR WAY. IN DAILY DRIVING, THERE IS A CONSTANT SHUDDER THAT MAKES ME BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. THIS VEHICLE WAS THE DAILY DRIVER OF MY WIFE AND WE WERE FORCED TO LEASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE DID NOT FEEL SAFE. IT HAS BEEN IN...

THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION STUTTER WHEN TAKING OFF.

I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW 2013 FORD FOCUS, FROM THE DEALER IN MAY OF 2013. I TOOK IT BACK A WEEK LATER BECAUSE IT WAS "CLUNKY" WHEN ACCELERATING. THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME "THE CAR JUST NEEDS TO LEARN HOW YOU DRIVE, WE WILL RESET THE COMPUTER". SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD IT "RESET" 4 TIMES AND AM ON MY 3RD CLUTCH REPAIR. LAST WEEK WHILE BRAKING MY CAR DECIDED TO ACCELERATE INSTEAD. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IN A YEAR, ONE RESULTING IN A BUMPER ON BUMPER ACCIDENT WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE. I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR, I COMMUTE TWO HOURS A DAY. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! IF THE I HAD BEEN TOLD BACK IN 2013 WHEN I PURCHASED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE I WOULD HAVE TRADED THAT CAR THE FIRST WEEK.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND RPM'S SHOT UP TO 5 AND I HAD NO POWER AND WHEN I STOP AND THEN TRY TO TAKE OFF THE CAR JERKS AND THERES NO POWER, CAR ALSO SHUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE CAR IS ON INTERSTATE DAILY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON.

ALONG WITH THE MYRIAD OF FORD DPS6 TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND REPAIRS OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS, I ALSOY HAD AN EVENT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE POWER TRAIN AND ENGINE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LIGHT ACCELERATION FOR A CITY GREEN TRAFFIC SIGNAL FOR A LEFT 90 DEGREE TURN THE CAR UNILATERALLY INCREASED THE SPEED AND RPM'S. THE CAR WAS MOVING SO FAST I NEARLY HIT A TREE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY HIT THE GAS PEDDLE WITH MY FOOT TO STOP THE ACCELERATION, WHILE MAINTAINING DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM STILL WAITING FOR FORD TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THE OTHER FUEL RECALL ISSUE RELATED TO THIS VEHICLE SO THEY CAN ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

MY 2013 FORD FOCUS HAS AN ISSUE WITH A STUTTERING/SHUDDERING TYPE FEELING. WHEN I AM STOPPED AND THEN BEGIN TO TRY AND ACCELERATE IS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. THIS HAS BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AT TIMES WHEN I AM ENTERING TRAFFIC AFTER BEING STOPPED. MY CAR DOES NOT GET TO PROPER SPEED QUICKLY ENOUGH.

2013 FORD FOCUS, WAS BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALERSHIP AND HAS HAD CLUTCH ISSUES FROM BEGINNING. THE CAR STUTTERS ON ACCELERATION, SHIFTS HARD, AND OCCASIONALLY THERE IS A DELAY WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. A RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THIS CAR AND THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED, BUT STILL HAD SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SEEN 8 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE, AND HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED. THE CLUTCH THAT WAS REPLACED DURING THE RECALL HAS FAILED THE PERFORMANCE TEST, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTY. RECENTLY ANOTHER RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO A STUCK CANNISTER PURGE VALVE. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL AND THE FUEL METER TO READ INCORRECTLY. THIS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY GAS METER REPORTED I STILL HAD HALF A TANK OF FUEL. ON 11/29/18, THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE RECALL AND BELIEVING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SKIPPED WITHOUT WARNING.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE I- 5 SAN DIEGO, CA AND MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, I DROVE IT ONCE AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO BE NORMAL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER FLASHING. THEN, AFTER A WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN, THE CAR DIED ON THE HIGHWAY.

CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE PROPERLY. THE CAR HAS HAD THREE CLUTCHES AND TWO TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULES, AND STILL EXHIBITS THE SAME DANGEROUS CHARACTERISTICS. IT HESITATES ON TAKE OFF, WILL ACCELERATE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION (GO FORWARD IN REVERSE AND VICE VERSA) . THE RPMS WILL RANDOMLY SHOOT UP TO 4 OR 5K WHILE DRIVING, OR YOU CAN LOOSE SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD THE POWER TO THE CAR FAIL WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING ON A CITY STREET. IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD ON HILLS AND AT STOP SIGNS/LIGHTS. IT SHAKES AND SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEEDS. HAS BEEN TO DEALER ALMOST A DOZEN TIMES, ALL UNDER "WARRANTY" FOR A FLAWED TRANSMISSION DESIGN.

AS I WAS WAITING FOR LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION MY CAR STALLS. IT WAS ACTING AS IF I HAD PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND ACCELERATE THE GAS. ON MY DASH BOARD I NOTICE THE SYMBOL AS IF MY TRACTION WAS ON. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TRIES TO RESTART IT. IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. NOT EVEN MAKING A SOUND. MIND YOU I AM AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY.

THE FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK THAT I PURCHASED FROM AUFFENBERG DEALER GROUP, 1708 NEW CAR DRIVE, O'FALLON , ILLINOIS ON DECEMBER 13, 2016 CONSTANTLY JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE. THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY, AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. (STRANGELY, I DID NOT SENSE THIS WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE. DURING THE TEST DRIVE ON DECEMBER 13, 2016, I DID MENTION TO THE SALES PERSON THAT I HEARD A SOUND COMING FROM THE CAR THAT SPARKED MY CONCERN BUT WAS TOLD HE HEARD NOTHING. THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE REACTION OF THE WHEELS ON THE CAR WHEN ACCELERATION IS SLOWED. MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT WILL STOP IN TRAFFIC. THIS CAN PROVE DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHER MOTORISTS. NO ONE MENTIONED OR DISCUSSED WITH ME ON DECEMBER 13, 2016 THESE PROBLEMS ALTHOUGH I'VE SINCE SEEN A PAPER LACKING MY SIGNATURE CONCERNING THE SAME....

SIDE DOOR LATCHING (SAFETY RECALL) STILL NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR TWO TIMES ALREADY SINCE OCT 2016 BUT THEY ONLY SAY THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS LITERALLY LEAVING THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR "SHUT DOWN ISSSUES AND SHUDDERING ISSUES" WHEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY COULDN'T "VERIFY THE PROBLEM" I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A FIVE LANE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION GOING 70MPH AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY UNTIL A TOW TRUCK CAME AND TOWED MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY AT RIGHT NOW. THIS IS MY 5TH ATTEMPT FOR THEM TO FIX IT. *TR

THE VEHICLE STUTTERS, JERKS, AND STALLS IN LOW GEARS. WHEN WE PRESS THE GAS FROM A STATIONARY POSITION THE CAR FAILS TO MOVE FORWARD ON MANY OCCASIONS. IF IT DOES MOVE FORWARD THEN THE GEARS MAKE A GRINDING SOUND. IT POSES A RISK TO US WHEN WE HAVE TO MOVE ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY ON LEFT HAND TURNS AT STOPLIGHTS WHEN WE HAVE A YIELD SIGN. THE CAR HAS STALLED OUT ON A FEW OCCASIONS LEAVING US VULNERABLE TO CARS TRAVELING AT HIGH VELOCITIES TOWARDS US. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CAR AND WE PLAN TO HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HUMAN AND PROPERTY DAMAGE SHOULD IT OCCUR DUE TO THIS DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHENEVER THE ACCLERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND MADE A TICKING NOISE BEFORE ACCELERATING.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR THE CAR WILL SHUDDER LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN THE MOST WHEN THERE IS ANY KIND OF EXTRA WEIGHT IN THE CAR, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, AND WHEN GOING UPHILL. IT WILL BE FINE FOR A WHILE THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL DO THIS EVERY TIME I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT AND DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS KIND OF A PROBLEM

TROUBLE SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS, WHEN TURNING A CORNER WON'T STAY IN GEAR, FEELS ROUGH AND STUDDERS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A FORD TECHNICIAN TO DRIVE THE CAR "LIKE I WAS AN 18 YEAR OLD" OR TOLD TRANSMISSION IS WORKING AS SHOULD BE.

CAR MAKES NOISE. CAR SLUGGISH WHEN I GIVE GASOLINE. WENT TO DEALER ABOUT 5 TIMES BEFORE DEALER DECIDED I HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. DEALER TOLD ME WOULD ONLY REPAIR TRANSMISSION. WAITED FOR PART. WENT BACK TO DEALER TO SAY CAR ALMOST STALLED. WAS APPLYING BRAKES AT THE TIME ON HIGHWAY. OUT OF CONCERN FOR CONDITION CAR WAS IN, HAD CAR ON CRUISE CONTROL TO LIMIT SUDDEN APPLICATION OF GAS OR BRAKE. WAS ON ROAD FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY.

LAST 3 DAYS DEALER DOES...
