Description of the problem | I have owned this ford focus titanium for 11 months now. I noticed that the car would shudder while driving at lower speeds and just taking off from a stop position. Sometimes, the car would feel like it was going to stall. There is also grinding from the front end when the car is shifting form 1st-2nd or 3rd-4th gear. I took it in to the ford dealer, was told it was a sensor and they re-set it and was also told it was a common issue, really?.. Not normal to me. Well, it wasn't fixed, it went back to the dealer 4 days later for the same issue. Now i am being told i have to wait on a new clutch and that there is a long wait for the part (back ordered). If this is a major problem with the focus, these vehicles should be recalled. I have been contemplating on whether to buy another vehicle and just let this one go... I bought the vehicle to last as long as my other ford has (14yrs), i don't see that happening. |
