 Description of the problemI have brought the car to the dealership for multiple (4) transmission issues over the past year. The car has 25000 miles on it. The last time was july 17, 2015. When i picked up the car i was told it needed a new clutch but was okay to drive. I was told the clutch was back ordered 4 to 8 weeks but the car was okay to drive in its present state. The car continued to stutter at low speeds but i was told this was normal for this transmission. On july 31st the car began to stutter harshly and then completely stalled out in traffic in the middle of the road. The on board computer indicated a transmission failure. A second ford dealership said they repaired the transmission but not the clutch that was previously indicated. They also said the car was safe to drive. It is not. It stutters harshly and can't be depended on to merge into traffic safely. As of today, it sits in my driveway waiting for a new clutch. I don't know if it will finally be repaired or if the problem will return. In my opinion this car is not safe and the potential exists for someone to get seriously hurt or even killed. I know of two other owners of these vehicles (focus). Both are having the exact same problem. One of which is having her transmission repaired for the third time today. This is a safety issue.
