Description of the problem | There is an obvious transmission problem with the vehicle. When going from 1st to 2nd gear from a stop it shudders and nearly stalls. This is a constant every day issue. I bought the car new, i have brought it to the dealership twice and was told that because there is no official recall ford is not allowing the dealerships to fix the problem even thought there are aware of the problem across the board with the 2013 model of the focus and the fiesta. I was basically told that with an official recall the car would have to stall out on the road or be the cause of an accident in order for the issue to be fixed. |
