Description of the problem	Would not shift into reverse. This was the only time it would not shift but raised a red flag. After turning off ignition and trying again it finally engaged, all other shifter selections were fine; n, d. Soon thereafter i began noticing a strange grinding noise coming from the front end accompanied by a slight vibration upon acceleration from a stop or when negotiating a curve at slow speed. We left for tucson soon thereafter towing our focus behind our motorhome. The car continued with the same issues as described above so i took the car to a local dealer. They test drove and said they didn't find anything wrong and if it happened again to bring it back. Soon after. This we drove from tucson to albuquerque and the car shuddered and hesitated while shifting so badly i felt it was unsafe. Returned to dealer in tucson two more times where they finally "fixed" it. Lasted two days now worse than ever. I feel that this car is very unsafe and should be taken off the road. I have been driving several vehicles since 1958 and this is my worse driving experience ever. I will be making an appointment with my local dealer today to see if they have a solution. I know i am one of many ford owners with these same transmission issues. Ford should be made to issue a recall. From what i have read ford considers good fuel mileage more important than safety. If my local dealer can't fix the problem so that i feel safe driving our focus i will be going back to toyota or subaru asap. Another "big three" failure. I am from michigan and am embarrassed to drive this car assembled in michigan with a transmission that is total junk.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
