Description of the problem | I bought the 2013 ford focus brand new and it has been the biggest headache. The transmission is no good! The car will hesitate to take off and then take off really fast after revving up to over 7500 rpm before shifting into gear and taking off very fast. This is very dangerous and unsafe to me and other drivers on the road! It shutters and shakes, sometimes doesn't want to start. This car is a lemon and not dependable. I sure hope a recall is issued because this is not fair to the consumers who are paying for a car that is defective. |
