 Description of the problemWe purchased the 2013 focus at apple ford in red lion pa. We had that car approx 1 month and it would not go in reverse, we were told the jerking grinding hesitations were all "normal". After over a week in the garage it was determined by dealer they would swap out for another focus same year, but had more miles than the original focus. The first vin # was [xxx]. We continue to have all the above symptoms with the 2nd focus they traded us. I am taking back to garage this week for worsening issues with my transmission. I called ford and they told me that they (ford) could not send a copy of the letter that was mailed out explaining they have extended the warranty to 100,000 miles or 7 years because it is done by a "third party" ?? This includes the input shaft seals, the clutch & or a software calibration. My car is paid off in full and it is ridiculous that i am having to waste time going back and forth with ford about this. I have filed several complaints with no resolution. What happens when the warranty expires, by then will i even have a car that is drivable? I do not even feel safe driving m car, therefore i only use it around home and never on trips or anywhere else. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
