Description of the problem	I purchase a 2013 ford focus july of 2013. About 3 months after i purchased the car, it started to jerk as i would press the gas to accelerate the auto. I've taken it into the dealership about 6 times since. They've reset the system and about a month later, the card would jerk again. This past summer, in a parking lot of a shopping center my car wouldn't turn on. I had to call a towing company and take it into the dealership again to have checked out. They said it was due to the clutch, it needed to be replaced. It was replaced and the jerking continued to the point i was so used to it, i forgot about it. A few nights ago i had the most terrifying situations while driving. As i was driving, i'd press the brake to stop at the red light and the car kept wanting to accelerate, making the system go crazy and the car dieing. I was able to turn the car back on but it died again. The dealership now says its the clutch and something on the transmission that needs to be replaced. Now, i get a call saying they cannot replace the clutch until i replace the release baring, which i have to pay out of pocket. My life was in danger and i could have easily crashed into another car. I am so furious with ford and will never purchase another car from them. I don't understand how i have to pay out of pocket for a part that is on recall to be replaced. Very upset!
