Description of the problem	The shifting on this 2013 focus has had the usual jerking, shuddering, sudden bursts when accelerating throughout the two years of ownership. In november 2013 when accelerating on the highway, i was unable to merge into traffic until i let up on the gas and tried again stepping on the gas. It happened again when changing lanes when it would not accelerate. Took it in and a new clutch was installed. It has been in to re-program since then and in between re-programming have put up with the issues because you are tired of wasting time at the dealer getting the same re-programming done only to have it done again. January 22, 2014 upon turning the corner lost capability of being able to speed up beyond 12 miles per hour. Car currently in shop and dealer has said clutches were bad and waiting for parts to repair. There were no warning lights of something wrong on the dashboard. Luckily, i was close to home and this occurred at a reasonable hour to get it into the dealer. I have called ford three times without a resolution. I believe this vehicle is unsafe since i do not know when this will happen again. It is also going to cost me to trade this vehicle in to another company since they all know of the focus problems. I do not want another ford. Ford has said that the engineers are working on this but i have had this vehicle for two years and continue to suffer.
