2014 FORD FOCUS Power Train Problems

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. THE CAR HAS 143,000 MILES ON IT AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT FORD HAS GIVEN ONLY GOES TO 100,000 MILES. FORD WILL NOT FIX MY CARS TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING AND JERKING PROBLEMS. WHEN YOU GO FROM A STOP TO PUSHING THE GAS, THE CAR JERKS AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE CAR WHILE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRIES TO SHIFT GEARS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL DUE TO THE FAULTY CLUTCH AND ACTUATORS.

LOSS POWER AND DOES NOT DRIVE E. TRANSMISSION WILL NOW GO. ACTS LICK IT IS OUT OF GEAR

WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVEL FOUR LANE ROAD (AT 45MPH), THE CAR SHOOK AND TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING BADLY. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ONLY GOT 4 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AFTERWARDS AND IT SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD US THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT SINCE IT WAS COVERED UNDER FORDS 150.000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT AFTER REPLACING THAT THEY DONE MORE TESTS ON THE CAR WHEN THEY SAID THE WHOLE TRANNY ALSO HAD TO BE REBUILT. FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES ON THE PARTS IN MY TRANNY BUT MINE HAD 13,000 MILES TOO MANY TO QUALIFY FOR BE COVERED. SO NOW I'M STUCK PAYING $2500 PLUS TAXES!!! I PAID $6,000 FOR THE CAR AND 1 WEEK LATER, I HAVE TO PAY ALMOST ANOTHER $3000. I'VE...

I STARTED MY CAR AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. TWO MINUTES AFTER DRIVING I WAS GOING 25 MPH ON A TOWN STREET AND MY TRANSMISSION FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. I LOST POWER AND CONTROL OF THE CAR, ALMOST GETTING HIT BY A LARGE TRUCK.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK HAS HAD CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO THE DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SINCE I BOUGH THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY 2015. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR LURCHES MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY CAR ACCIDENTS AND TERRIFIES ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE.THE LURCHING HAS ALSO LOOSENED PARTS OF MY CAR AND FEELS LIKE PARTS OF MY CAR COULD FALL OFF AT ANYTIME. MY ENGINE ALSO HAS ISSUES AND I'VE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT LEAST TWICE NOW DUE TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. I HAVE NEVER FELT SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE CAR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE EMPLOYEES KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED ON THE HIGH SETTING, THERE WAS A 5 OR 6 SECOND DELAY. THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AL PACKER'S WHITE MARSH FORD (9801 PULASKI HWY, MIDDLE RIVER, MD 21220, (443)777-5000) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THE CAR STOPPED WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I GET A WARNING MESSAGE TO CHECK THE ENGINE. THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING IS HARD AND NOT SMOOTH. IT BECAME NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WEATHER IN A HIGHWAY OR ON A CITY STREET WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH AND ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE OR ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE REVVED UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED KELLER MOTORS (700 CADILLAC LN, HANFORD, CA 93230, (559) 582-1000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN AT THE LOCATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILL TIESIERA FORD (2101 E CROSS AVE, TULARE, CA 93274, (559) 688-7471) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,772.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD NOT PULL HILL WHEN DRIVING, HAD TO PULL OVER AND ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT WAS LOW. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO ADD FLUID TO THIS VEHICLE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM OR NOT. VEHICLE DO NOT HAVE THE POWER IT HAD WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT

PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WAS SLIPPING, BUCKING, JERKING, AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSIONS CAUSED DELAYED ACCELERATION AND DELAYS IN DOWNSHIFTS, CUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC.

I FOUND OUT THAT FORD ADMITTED THEIR 6 SPEED SPORT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THIS, BUT WHEN I NOTIFIED FORD OF MY INTENT TO JOIN THE CLASS (WHICH WAS REQUIRED), FORD DID NOT RESPOND. WHEN I CONTACTED THE CLASS LAWYER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT INCLUDE ME BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION CALIBRATED TWICE BEFORE THE DEADLINE. (3 TIMES WERE REQUIRED) IT IS STILL RUNNING POORLY. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX IN DEC. 2018, SO IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT LEAST ONCE BETWEEN (NEW) 2014 AND 2018. I AM WONDERING, "WHY" WHEN MULTIPLE MODELS OVER SEVERAL MANUFACTURING YEARS HAVE THIS SAME TRANSMISSION, HAS THERE NOT BEEN AN OFFICIAL RECALL?

SHIFTS HARD HESITATES HARD TO STOP

THE CAR WANT START IT WILL TURN ON THEN WHEN TRYING TO GO THE CAR STALLS OUT AND THE CAR KEEPS ACCLERATING. IT READS ENGINE FAILURE AND I HAVENT EVEN HAD THIS CAR TWO YEARS YET AND AINT EVEN FINISH PAYING I OFF. I HAD TO GET TOLLED OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS DO TO THE CAR WANT START AND WHEN GOT IT HOME IT STARTED BUT KEEPS ACCELERATING. I NEED THIS CAR TO GET CHECKED OR SOMETHING THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MY TODDLERS WHEN I HAVE TO USE THAT VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND TAKE MY KIDS TO DAYCARE..WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH A VEHICLE IM STILL PAYING ON AND WANT START. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND SEEN THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THERE FORD FOCUS THE SAME PROBLEMS IM HAVING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, AND MY CAR LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT LET THE CAR COAST TO THE NEAREST SIDE STREET. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS GOTTEN TO THIS PARTICULAR DEGREE. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND AS I WAS LEAVING THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR HESITATED AND TOOK A WHILE BEFORE THE SPEED WOULD PICK UP. IT ALSO DID SOME WEIRD THINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN, BUT KNOW THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. AFTER THIS FIRST INCIDENT, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED FORD AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CAR HAD TWO EXTENDED WARRANTIES AND I SHOULD TAKE IT INTO A AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AND THAT IF IT WAS A TRANSMISSION MODULE ISSUE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THE REPAIRS...

I WANT TO FINE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE FORD DEALER. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS WITH PROBLEM. IT'S BECAUSE OF GAS EVAPORATIONS. I HAD WITH ME A LATTER THAT FORD SEND ME TO ME FOR RECALL WHICH I HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. SUPPOSEDLY THEY REPAIRED THAT, WHEN THEY NEVER DID AND PROOF OF THIS IS THAT THERE IS THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION THEY JUST MARKED DONE AND THEY NEVER DID I, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND NOW I HAVE IT.

THIS CAR SOMETIMES LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING WHICH POSES A HIGH RISK TO MYSELF AS THE DRIVER AND ANY OTHER CAR BEHIND ME.

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING MY PRE-OWNED 2014 FORD FOCUS, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SOME SLIGHT JERKING WHENEVER I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE JERKING GRADUALLY GOT WORSE AND I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO MY HOME. MY CAR STOPPED SUDDENLY WHEN I WAS TRAVELING UPHILL ON A HIGHWAY. I HAD TO SIT AND WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO KEEP DRIVING. WHEN I FINALLY ARRIVED HOME, I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND WENT IN. I CAME BACK LATER TO GO SOMEWHERE AND MY CAR WOULDN'T START. I RESOLVED TO LEAVE IT BE SINCE IT WAS THE WEEKEND AND DEALERSHIPS WERE CLOSED. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR STARTED, BUT THE JERKING REMAINED AND NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I DROVE WITH IT FOR THE TIME BEING BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP (TOYOTA) THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM SAID THEY COULDNT LOOK INTO MY POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES...

AFTER THE SHUDDER DISCONTINUED AND SPEED WAS INCREASED TO APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO NAVIGATE INTO ANOTHER LANE, I HAD A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER AFTER ENGAGING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR WITH ZERO RESPONSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. DUE TO THIS DEFECT, MY VEHICLE WAS STRUCK IN THE REAR BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE.*DT *TR

MY CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN AND THE CODE P068A AND I KNOW SOMEONE THAT HAS THE SAME CAR SAME MODEL YEAR SAME PROBLEMS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS CAR NOT MOVING NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU HIT THE GAS AND HE GOT RECALLS ON THE CAR MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS I WILL BE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR WILL JUMP SHAKE THAN GO AND IT'S KEEPS DOING IT AS WELL AS I CAN BE GOING 20 MPH AND MY RPM IS AT 6 NOT DROPPING UNLESS MY FOOT IS OFF THE GAS. *TR

NOW THEY WANT ANOTHER $800 (SAYING THEY ARE GIVING ME A DISCOUNT) TO CHANGE THE CLUTCH FORK AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL WORK. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT IN 2016. CALLED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

I PURCHASED THE FORD FOCUS TITANIUM HATCHBACK IN 2014 NEW, AND SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP/MECHANIC OVER 25 TIMES DUE TO 2 MAJOR DEFECTS -- FORD POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRIC/ENGINE ISSUE WITH DRAINING THE BATTERY. I'VE HAD 4 BATTERIES AND AVERAGE 6-8 JUMP STARTS PER YEAR DUE TO THE ELECTRIC PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER DRAINING MY BATTERY. I'VE COME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AT LEAST 8 ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION FAULT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND IT WORKED WITHOUT HAVING THE SHIFTING STALL PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. MY DEALER SAID THAT'S "ALL THEY CAN DO... FORD DOESN'T OFFER ANY PAYBACK OR REFUNDS DUE TO THESE 2 WELL-KNOWN LEMON DEFAULTS. I JUST CALLED THE 800 NUMBER FOR FORD TO FILE A COMPLAINT (800-392-3673) AND THEY STATED THAT I'D HAVE TO CALL BACK IN 2 HOURS BECAUSE THEIR SYSTEM IS DOWN. I ASKED...

THE WIPER FLUID SPRAYER STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. THEN EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IT STUTTERS EVERYTIME I HIT THE GAS PEDAL. SO EACH TIME WHEN TAKING HAVE IT HAS A SHAKING SENSATION. EACH TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THE SAME THING THAT THE CAR WAS MADE TO DO THAT BECAUSE ITS AN AUTOMATIC DUAL TRANSMISSION. *TR

1. THE CAR HAS A REAL BAD POPPING IN THE FRONT END LIKE THE FRONT ENDS ABOUT TO JUST FALL OUT. ON ANY ROAD & BOTH STRAIGHT OR TURNING 2. TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP FRONT END & THE TRANSMISSION TAKES A MINUTE FOR THEM BOTH TO CATCH & THE CAR GO ON ANY ROAD & BOTH STRAIGHT OR TURNING 3. THE CV AXEL POP WHEN TURNING

POWER STEERING HAS GOTTEN STIFFER IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. I BELIEVED IT MAY JUST BE FLUID BUT I CAME TO FIND OUT THE STEERING IS ELECTRIC ONCE THE CAR WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT MOVE AFTER BEING PARKED. I AM GLAD IT DID NOT GO OUT WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE SYSTEM HAD BEGUN TO FAIL AS I WAS MAKING A 15 MINUTE COMMUTE. DEFINITELY WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND EXPENSIVE FIX I HAVE HAD TO ENDURE AND HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON A RECALL FOR JERKING ,SHUDDERING 6 MONTHS AGO.I HAD NECK SURGERY 5 MONTHS AGO & VEHICLE AGAIN STARTED JERKING CAUSING ME PAIN TO THE EXTENT THAT I WILL TERMINATE INSURANCE & PARK VEHICLE UNTIL FORD CAN. PURCHASE OR FIX VEHICLE...

CAR JERKS AND STUTTERS COMING OUT OF A STOP AS SOON AS ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED ON DOES IT A FEW TIMES EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS COLD OR WARM

WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2016. WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION DURING ACCELERATION. WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE CAR STUTTERS AND LAGS AND FEELS LIKE A STALL ON EVERY ACCELERATION. WE TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT IS WAS THE ECONOMIC PART OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. IT HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER NOR DID THEY EVER FIX IT UPON SERVICING. NOW WE LEARNED IT'S AN ISSUE WITH ALL FORD FOCUS FOR THESE YEARS.

AT AROUND 20K THE CAR STARTED JUMPING AND SHUDDERING FROM A STOP AND WOULD ALSO ACCELERATE AND THE RPM'S WOULD INCREASE ON ITS OWN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, VERY SCARY. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER.I TOOK IT BACK AT AROUND 40K AND THEY INSTALLED THE NEW TRANSMISSION, SO THEY SAY. I TOOK IT BACK AT JUST OVER 60K (AROUND 60,500) AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD COST AROUND $1,600 TO $1,800. THEY GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND AND I LEFT NEVER WANTING TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AGAIN. THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY TO THE POINT OF INSECURITY. MY ODOMETER IS AT ABOUT 118000. I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT THEN AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT NOW. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO? I'M...

TRANSMISION R-CALL, DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THE TRANSMISION SUPPSED TO ACT SKIPPING AND BOUNCING BECAUSE IT HAS A DUAL CLUTCH WHEN GOING UP A HILL OR STARTING TO MOVE FROM STANDING STILL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING, WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC FORD LINCOLN LOCATED AT (8540 TYLER BLVD, MENTOR, OH 44060) HOWEVER, THE DEALER DECLINE TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING A SALVAGE TITLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD TO AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR FOR THE DEALER TO PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, A DECISION WAS NOT REACHED AS TO HOW TO PROCEED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT KEEPS SAYING THE TRANSMISSION IS HOT AND THE CAR STOPS AND YOU HAVE NO GAS POWER AT ALL. VERY DANGEROUS. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN THE 2014 FORD FOCUS LOST ALL POWER. FORD KEEPS SAYING THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND TWO FORD DEALERS SAID THEY CANNOT FIND THE CAUSE. RIDICULOUS

I AM SUFFERING WITH THE KNOWN SHUDDIRING OF THE DPS6 TRANSMISSION. I AM NOW ON MY 3RD CLUTCH AND IT ISN'T A PERMANENT FIX. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE REFUSED TO HELP OR ESCALATE TO SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP DEFRAY THE $2000 I JUST HAD TO PAY FOR A REPAIR WHICH WON'T PERMANENTLY FIX IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STOP SAFELY NOW WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GALPIN FORD (VAN NUYS, CA) WHERE THE SOFTWARE WAS REPROGRAMMED. MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF FAILURE, BUT REFUSED TO ASSIST. *DL

CLUTCHES ON CAR HAVE BEEN REPLACED A FEW TIMES DUE TO THE RECALL ON CLUTCHED, TRANSMISSION COMPUTER GOT CHANGED ABOUT 2-3 MONTHS AGO DUE TO DEFECT. A WEEK AGO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT FREQUENT STOP AND GO TRAFFIC (ABOUT 1HR0 THE CAR SEND A TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING WARNING TURN OFF CAR FOR 5 MINUTES. I STOPPED FOR 215 MINUTES AND DROVE AGAIN FOR 10 MINUTES AND CAR GIVE ME THE SAME MESSAGE AGAIN. FORD SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THAT THE PROBLEM IS MY DRIVING HABITS THAT MAKE CLUTCHED TO OVERHEAT? NEVER HAD SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH MY OTHER CARS. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AT THE BORDER WIT MEXICO TYING TO CROSS. I HAD CARD INFRONT, IN THE BACK AN LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR.

AS THERE ARE MANY LAWSUITS AGAINST FORD RIGHT NOW FOR THE DPS6 TRANSMISSIONS, I FIND IT QUITE ABSURD THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL MADE IN THIS MATTER. I HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS THAT HAS ALMOST KILLED MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF COUNTLESS TIMES. OFTEN TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL HESITATE WHEN I TRY TO PULL OUT SOMEWHERE AND OFTEN TIMES WILL SURGE FORWARD. WHEN TRYING TO PULL HILLS IT IS A NIGHTMARE, IF YOU DO NOT TAKE IT AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED IT WILL BOG DOWN AND THEN TAKE OFF OUT OF NOWHERE. WHEN I TOOK IT IN BEFORE 100K MILES I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF MY MILEAGE COVERAGE AND THEN NOT LONG AFTER I REACHED 100K MILES THEY EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 100K. THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS NOW HAD THREE CLUTCHES PUT IN AND IT DRIVES...
