2015 FORD FOCUS Vehicle Speed Control Problems

The car would not shift into a gear, would not shift gear to propel itself in traffic causing a safety issue. A warning light would come on saying the transmission was getting overheated. Ford of Glenwood Springs Colorado refused to look at the car because of its age despite the recall on the clutch for the year, make and model of the car. A NAPA shop determined the clutches were out. NAPA quoted $4,253 to fix the problem. I called Ken Garff Ford in Fort Collins Colorado at 4809 S. College Avenue to get this fixed under the recall. They said my VIN number wasn't covered, and the cost would be $6,000. I called Ford 1-866-436-7332 spoke to Ron employee #2192738 and was told he would document the call but could not do anything. Ford is aware of the safety issue we simply want them to standby their product and...

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a red light, the vehicle failed to move or respond as needed. The vehicle hesitated and the vehicle then worked as designed. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the clutch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The accelerator pedal was depressed but failed to accelerate. The RPM increased to high. The message that the engine was running hot was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that a clutch replacement was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 41,180.

Transmission control module, transmission clutch

I just bought this car 2 months ago after saving for a whole year. I’ve been having problems week into the purchase due to the transmission. My car has been overheating with the transmission (almost every 4 miles), going on limp mode (when pressing the gas), jerking (while driving), not reversing and not starting right away. Im trying my hardest to get on my feet after a being in a domestic abuse relationship that affected my and my daughters life. I just want to get my baby back and fourth from school. So I BEG you to approve the transmission recall for Ford Focus. PLEASE!!!

Car will go into reverse but won’t move. Car will not go over 2500 RPM and won’t go over 11 MPH

Regrettably, the 2015 Ford Focus hatchback I purchased has been plagued by a series of critical issues. These include recurring starting problems, erratic gear behavior, such as hesitating to move in Drive and unexpectedly moving forward in Reverse, sudden and dangerous deceleration while on highways, and an incessantly illuminated tire pressure warning light. These issues have left me profoundly concerned about the overall safety and reliability of this car. Over the past four months of ownership, the last two have been marred by stress and anxiety. A harrowing incident almost transpired when the car inexplicably slowed down to a mere 15 miles per hour on a highway, placing me at great risk, with a truck narrowly avoiding a collision. What's particularly distressing is that these problems aren't unique to my vehicle alone. Numerous other owners of 2013, 2014, and 2015 Ford Focus models are grappling with similar issues, suggesting the...

2015 Ford Focus, 67,000 miles would jerk , shudder & shut off completely , it would not accelerate or reverse half of the time. Stops in the middle of no wear.. the engine light would come on for a few days then go off and come up again.. the music stopped working& the RPM’s would go pass the 6,7 or 8 at only 10-15 miles & jerk while goin forward .. a safety problem would pop up “ transmission overheating stop safety “ my air would blow hot some days and it would smell like something burning.. confirmed by dealership it’s the clutch .. no warnings for these problems besides jerking / not accelerating at a reasonable speed and safety problem stating to “ stop safely transmission overheating “ &a burning smell & 2 safety recalls for the clutch & TCM with extended warranty. Warranty would not cover for the...

Vehicle will loose power and ac as if the gears are slipping causing a sudden reduced speed. The transmission warnings will also light up stating transmission overheating.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle started to decelerate without warning. After stopping and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle regained normal functionality. The contact stated that the failure recurred while attempting to accelerate from a stop light. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission shift lever failed causing the clutch to fail. The contact was informed that the shift lever and clutch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 101,000.

There have been several instances, while driving highway speed limits and when braking, the car accelerates for a few seconds before the vehicle brakes and slows down. This can be very dangerous especially if traffic stops unexpectedly. I have a couple close calls. There weren't any warning lamps given and I have not taken it in to dealership to examine. I have not inquired with dealership mechanic if this was an occurrence they have encountered.

THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING GEARS PROPERLY. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS A MASTER RESET. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THAT IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED.

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX]. I AM EMAILING YOU BECAUSE I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM/CONCERN. MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION. SO IN APRIL OF 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AT CARMEN FORD IN NEWCASTLE, DE WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM. WHEN I TOOK IT THERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE RECALL HAD CAME ON AND IT WAS JERKING. THEY CLAIM THEY FIXED IT. WELL IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE SAME CODE AND WAS JERKING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO CARMEN FORD. THEY HAD MY CAR THREE WEEKS AND THEY SAID ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS RESET TWO THINGS THAT WEREN'T MATCHING UP. THE SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE IT WAS STILL JERKING. THEY HAD MY CAR TWO IN A HALF MORE...

CONTINUOUS REPAIRS FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND STILL HAVING ISSUES. THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION A FIX HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED, THUS LEAVING ONE TO BELIEVE DEFECTIVE PARTS ARE BEING REPLACED BY MORE DEFECTIVE PARTS. CLUTCH SLIPS, WILL SPORADICALLY JERK UPON ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP OR QUICKLY NEEDING TO BRAKE. FAILURE TO INCREASE SPEED UPON ACCELERATING. SHUDDERS WITH (NON-SUDDEN) BRAKING. DATE NOTED ON BOTTOM IS APPROXIMATE GUESS ON WHEN ISSUE WAS FIRST REPORTED AND TOLD "THIS IS NORMAL" BY FORD (PRIOR TO CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT HAS TAKEN PLACE).

MY CAR HAS HAD PROBLEMS SHIFTING FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC 2016 I TOOK IT IN AND THEY DID NOTHING TOLD ME SOMETIMES IT WILL SHIFT LIKE THAT (BOUGHT CAR IN TEXAS) FOR ALMOST 4YRS IT WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND FINALLY A RECALL WAS MADE ON THE CLUTCH I TOOK IT IN AND THEY PUT THE PART IN AND IT CONTINUES TO STUTTER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, CHANGING LANES, OR TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE IN THE BEGINNING OF PROCESS AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CLUTCH THE PART FOR THE CLUTCH WAS PUT IN AND IT GOT WORSE! NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK BACK TO MERTZ FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT'S FINE NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN

I GOT THE CLUTCH FIXED UNDER WARRANTY A FEW WEEKS AGO NOW THE CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH KEEPS HAPPENING IT HAPPENED BEFORE I KEEP TAKING IT IN TOO GET FIXED AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW. IT'S A BIG PROBLEM TOO HAVE FOR A NEW CAR ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD. IT STALLED OUT ON ME THE ENGINE LOSES POWER IT TURNED OFF ON ME I'M THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHICH IS DANGEROUS. IT DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY WHAT SO EVER AND I SUPPOSEDLY GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED. IT'S BECOMING A REAL BOTHER TOO DRIVE. I MAINTAIN THE CAR PERFECT TOO HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I BARELY MADE IT HOME IN A FEW OCCASIONS WITH THE STALLING AND THE UGLY SHIFTING. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND A REAL HASSLE TOO DRIVE, WHICH I KEEP REPAIRING ONLY TOO GET WORSE. I SUSPECT THE...

I HAD MY FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES SO FAR. AS OF TODAY, THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AND JERKING. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE MAINTENANCE TODAY. BUT, I WAS TURNED DOWN BY TODD ( SERVICE REP) AND BOB (SERVICE MANAGER) BECAUSE THE LEVEL OF EFFECTIVENESS WAS NOT AMOUNTED TO 250. THEREFORE, THEY RECOMMEND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AS IS AND RISK MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN $3000.

CLUTCH WENT OUT AND WRECKED

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME, EVEN AFTER THE LOCAL FORD DEALER REBUILT? THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ONLY FROM ANY STOP, WHICH CAN BE AT A STOPLIGHT, STOP SIGN OR PARKING AREA. I CAN AND WILL GIVE TODAY'S MILEAGE BUT THAT IS INSUFFICIENT SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A PERPETUAL PROBLEM. AFTER THE LOCAL DEALER REBUILT? THE TRANSMISSION IT IS LESS BUT THE CAR HAS JUMPED THE CURB AT A FAST FOOD WHEN I WANTED TO SLIGHTLY MOVE THE CAR FORWARD, ALMOST HIT THE BUILDING.

ON JUNE 15TH 2019 I WAS INVOLVED IN MY FIRST ACCIDENT. I WAS AT A STOP GOING STRAIGHT AND IN FRONT OF ME WAS A CAR TURNING TO GO SOUTH ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF ME. AS I WAS GETTING MY FIRST GEAR READY TO GO MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND I T-BONED THE PERSON TURNING. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND AFTER THIS ACCIDENT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR, I LOST TRUST IN FORD KEEPING ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS BUT WHEN I TAKE IT IN THEY SAY IT JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE OR SOMETHING ABOUT A FUEL TANK. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL IN REGARDS TO MY TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAY THAT THEY DON'T SHOW THAT IN THEIR SYSTEMS SO THEY CAN'T DO...

VEHICLE IS SHUDDERING ON ACCELERATION IS DOING IT MORE OFTEN AND WORSE

MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS SLAMMING FULL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A STORE, THANK THE LORD I HAD FULL COVERAGE AND IT ONLY DID COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I'VE ALSO HAD TIMES WHERE IT WILL SAY THE TRACTION CONTROL IS OUT OR IT HAS NO UPHILL START, MY MODEL DOESN'T HAVE THAT. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND ON MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS ISSUES ALREADY.

I HAVE GOTTEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE VARIOUS RECALLS AND MY CAR STILL IS UNSAFE FIVE SEPARATE INSTANCES MY CAR HAS SLOWED TO NEAR STOPPING AND THREE OF THOSE INSTANCES WHERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR OF THOSE THREE TIMES I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE STAYED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE RIGHT NEAR THE EMERGENCY LANE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE I HAVE THE SAME INSTANCE AND EVERY RECALL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO CHECK ON IT AND EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY UNTIL IT'S TIME TO DRIVE AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL AND STOP. I'VE MADE A COMPLAINT BEFORE REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE THAT CAN END UP COSTING LIVES. THIS CAR NEEDS TO...

CAR WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE LEAVING YOU TO PRESS THE GAS HARDER THAN NEEDED AT TIMES AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SOMETIMES CAR WONT SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET MY CAR WILL REV UP TO 7,000 RPM AND STAY THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING AND IM TOLD ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH FOR FORD TO COVER IT UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT DOESNT MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR A REPAIR. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CLUTCH AS WELL AS TCM. A TOTAL OF 3 TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AND NOW IM PASSED MY WARRANTY SO THEY WONT COVER THE DIAGNOSIS. IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH OR THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT ALL. AND MY VIDEOS ARENT PROOF ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN SEE MY CRUISE IS SET AND MY SPEED DOESNT CHANGE...

PURCHASED USED FROM A FORD DEALER USED 2015 FORD FOCUS. WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE HAD TO LERN MY STYLE OF DRIVING. CAR SHUTTERS WHEN GOING ACCELERATING, TAKE TIME TO SHIFT BETWEEN 1,2,3, GEARS. ALSO SHUTTERS AT OTHER SPEEDS IN THE MIDDLE OF SHIFTING. CANNOT SHIFT QUICKLY FROM PARKED OR IN STOPPED POSITION LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. CAR ALSO NOW REVS HIGH AND HAS TO BE COOLED DOWN AFTER DRIVING. I CANNOT TRUST VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN BY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS DUE TO TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM BUT DEALERSHIP CHARGES FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND STATES THAT IT IS THE WAY I DRIVE.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY MADE 3 CLUNKS AND THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER, ALMOST DIED OUT.HE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. HE ALMOST GOT HIT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR HAS DONE THIS. THE FIRST TIME, IT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY AND LEFT HIM STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A STALL RISK, BUT THEY CAN NOT REPAIR THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD HEADQUARTERS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THE 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STALL RISK. THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS HAD MY 2015 FORD FOCUS WILL NOT TRY TO REPEAT THE BEHAVIOR THAT CAUSED THE CAR...

BROUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, ENJOYED DRIVING IT BUT THEN A YEAR LATER THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WOULD STALL BUT IT WOULDN'T STALL THEN WHEN BRAKING IT WOULD ACCELERATE MORE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT HONOLULU FORD 1370 N. KING STREET HONOLULU, HI 96817 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT ALSO TOLD THEM I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL AND SHOWED IT TO THEM BUT ALL I GOT WAS "OH YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW"! RECENTLY I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL AND STILL NOTHING. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND VERY RUDE.I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS CALL THEM EVERY WEEK AND ASK ABOUT THE RECALL.

WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I ALMOST GOT HIT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE I HAD THE SAME ISSUE FOR TWO DAYS IN A ROW AND IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

THE CAR HAS A KNOWN RECALL ABOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY JUST SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING FORD SAID YOU MUST KEEP THE CAR ON A HALF TANK OF GAS AT ALL TIMES.THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS BUT MY CAR IS GETTING SO BAD VERY VERY BAD

TAKATA RECALL MY CLUTCH WAS MESSED UP IN THIS CAR WHEN I FIRST LEASED IT FROM US AUTO SALES BACK IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND I HAD RENTAL FOR A WEEK ONLY BECAUSE THE WARRANTY COVERED IT. NOW THE CLUTCH IS MESSED AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD I'LL HAVE TO PAY $2000 FOR IT TO BE FIX! IS THERE ANYWAY YOU GUYS CAN RECALL MY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON THIS CAR BECAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM KEEP OCCURRING. IS ALWAYS JERKS AND DON'T ACCELERATE THE SPEED OF THE CAR THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS ANYWHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULD OPERATE NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AL PACKER'S WHITE MARSH FORD (9801 PULASKI HIGHWAY, MIDDLE RIVER, MD 21220 (443) 777-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

MY CAR STALLS SHAKES AND STUDDERS WHEN I ACCELERATE, EVEN AFTER I TURN THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF IT CONTINUES ,I'VE NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED PLENTY OF TIMES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND EITHER DOES MY PASSENGERS AS AND I'M SURE THIS JERKING AS AND TIRE SPINNING WILL CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS.

PURCHASED MID AUGUST 2016. WE HAVE PUT APPROX 750 MILES ON IT IN THAT SHORT TIME. 1ST INCIDENT, MY WIFE STOPPED AND WHILE THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE ROLLED BACKWARDS ON AN INCLINE THAT RESEMBLES LEVEL. 2. FROM STOP ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE IT JUMPS, STUTTERS AND BARLEY MOVES. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A NEAR COLLISION IN AN INTERSECTION DUE TO THIS. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE GETTING ON THE ON RAMP IT IS SO SLUGGISH AT TIMES, THAT WE ARE NOT EVEN AT PROPER SPEED TO GET ON A FREEWAY. UNSAFE, PURCHASED FROM ENTERPRISE WHO TOLD US NOTHING ABOUT THIS AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. ENTERPRISE IS ALLOWING PEOPLE DRIVE AWAY IN THESE PILES. IF THERE HASN'T BEEN DEATHS, THERE WILL BE. ENTERPRISE IS NOT ADVISING CUSTOMERS OF THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE MANY IN THEIR FLEET THEY MUST MOVE OUT. SHAME ON THEM. NOTE: THE FOLLOWING FROM THE ENTERPRISE WEB SITE. WORRY FREE...

HAVE HAD MY FORD FOCUS JUST OVER 2 MONTHS. WHEN I BOUGHT IT NOTICED THAT IT SEEMED TO HESITATE WITH ACCELERATION AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY RESET MY TRANSMISSION AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE FINE. IT STILL HAS BEEN DOING IT. HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. IT DOES WELL ON THE HIGHWAY BUT ON THE STREET OR REGULAR TRAFFIC IT DOES IT EVERY TIME. IT BOTHERS ME BECAUSE IVE BEEN ALMOST HIT A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE IT SHAKES AND THEN GOES.

THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD, EXPERIENCES DELAYED ACCELERATION ALL THE TIME, DELAYED DOWNSHIFTING AND VEHICLES THAT HAVE TROUBLE STOPPING. IT IS SCARY WHEN I GO TO PULL OUT AND THE CAR JUST REVS AND DOES NOT MOVE I STEP ON GAS IT WILL SLOWLY GO, THEN IT WILL JUST REV. SEVERAL TIMES I HAD TO PULL TO SIDE OF SHOULDER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING. SCARY WHEN MY KIDS ARE IN THE CAR. IT DOES IT ON A WEEKLY BASES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIME BUT THEY SAY SORRY IF THEY CANT SEE THE CAR DOING IT THEY CANT FIX IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH WHEN CAR LOST ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED. I WAS LEAVING A MALL PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING WHEN THE CAR JERKED DANGEROUSLY AND STOPPED ACCELERATING CAUSING ME TO LOOSE SPEED AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PROBABLE CAUSE: TRANSMISSION FAILURE OR DISCONNECT.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION IS STUTTERING, GRINDING AND PERFORMING POORLY. FORD SAID THAT THIS IS HAPPENING BECAUSE "I DRIVE TOO CAREFULLY, THE TRANSMISSION IS DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN AGGRESSIVELY AND WILL GET STUCK BETWEEN GEARS UNLESS YOU 'FLOOR IT'".
