Description of the problem	I purchased a ford focus vin #: [xxx] on 2-23-2013. Maguire ford s. Main st. Po box 39 duncannon pa 17020 i first called the dealer about grinding sounds and hesitation when pulling out in low gear when the car had 18,000 miles. Their initial explanation was that the ? New ford ? Transmission as acting like a manual and some shudder and noise will be normal. It was obvious to be the car was not ? Normal? And at 19,459 miles, april 4, 2014, the dealer found faulty clutches and put in a new clutch assembly (bv6z7b546d). It still did not feel right and i took it back april 12,2013. They said it is normal. I asked if they would extend the guarantee beyond the 60,000 miles as i envisioned this as a recurring problem. They did not. Needless to say i was extremely disappointed. In august, 2014 , ford extended the warranty for seven years or 100,000 miles.( probably because of so many complaints) i was pleased until the car started acting up again at 38,000 miles . I took it in on 5/27/15 and the dealer confirmed i need clutches replaced again. However, the parts are backlogged and it will take three to four months! I am concerned about the safety factor. The shudder and grinding, i can live with for a while. The hesitation when pulling out into heavy traffic is unacceptable. In addition, a 100,000 warranty with a problem occurring every 20,000 miles means someone will eventually be faced with a huge repair bill, not to mention the diminished value of the car for resale or trade in due to this manufactures defect.
