Description of the problem	i understand and appreciate that the automatic transmission in this car revs and tends to behave like a manual transmission. I owned a celica with a manual transmission years ago. However, on several occasions this focus has decelerated, paused and then lurched forward and i was powerless to accelerate it or alter its "lurch". It tends to make a wind up noise on these occurrences. It occasionally hesitates when i apply the accelerator from stopped. Sometimes the hesitation is longer and more pronounced than at other times. I have taken this focus to the dealer on five occasions since i bought it new in september of 2013 and it is diagnosed with a code 7000 and the dealer has to keep the car overnight because the transmission needs to be reprogrammed from ford headquarters as i understand it. The dealer also may perform a drum adaptive learn strategy and adaptive learn drive cycle. When i leave the car seems to have "settled down" and runs more smoothly and quietly. It also gets substantially better mpg. On april 2, 2014, at 17,995 miles, i took it in because it was hesitating on acceleration and jerking and noisy. The focus had a cracked motor mount. And again the transmission was given its usual computer update from ford. Currently, the focus mileage is at 21,300 and it's winding itself up, jerking me around, hesitating and lurching. Two days ago, i was making a left hand turn into heavy traffic and, as i stepped on the accelerator to pull out, the focus did not respond for a few seconds. At that point i had to brake because it was too late to enter oncoming traffic. This is very worrisome for me especially since my son drives the car as well and he is a novice driver with one year experience. In march, i was traveling and rented a 2013 ford focus and drove it about 500 freeway miles. It seemed on it's best behavior.
