Description of the problem	My ford focus had a jerky ride from the day i bought it. I mentioned after the test drive that it seemed a bit jerky on shifting and they said it was normal. A week later i told them again and again they said it was normal because of the new design. It got worse to the point that twice when turning out into traffic when i thought i had enough room to enter traffic it seemed to want to stall and i had to steer it back into the turn lane so as not to get hit. The car very often smelled of burnt rubber though at the time i explained it away as being from other cars nearby. In august 2014 i took the car in for a oil change and found out that a seal between the engine and transmission had failed and i had a major oil leak. This was unbelievable for a car with just 35,000 miles and lucky me i was eligible for an extended warranty on those parts from ford for 100, 000 miles. Ford notified me the next week about the warranty only after the repair. The car drove better for a couple of weeks but then the shudders returned and began to worsen. I was going to take it in and have ford look at it again but then on 9-14-2014 i was exiting my car and there was an overwhelming odor of burnt rubber coming from the engine. I decided right then i was not going to put up with the defective and possibly dangerous car anymore and i traded it in at loss. I recommend a serious look at this issue. Ford keeps saying these issues are normal for the new design and people are not used to it. I highly disagree. I got rid of it at a loss. That should say it all.
