Description of the problem | I have had problems with the focus since i bought it in 2013. The transmission shudders, vibrates, goes back on hills and rattles. I finally gave up after several attempts to get it fixed and being told its all normal. My frustration with ford and its dealers is that they knew about this problem long before i bought mine, why were they still selling them to unaware buyers. I had bought a 2010 focus from a different dealer and had to return that one because the transmission broke a week after i got it and only after i notified the bureau of auto repair did they exchange the car. Now i feel stuck with another lemon but no one will do anything about this problem. It's been 2 years and i'm still trying to get someone to do something about this, not just for me but for all the consumers that were conned into buy this lemon. I will never buy a ford again. |
