Description of the problem | I have a 2013 ford focus and twice within the last 30 days the transmission has malfunctioned at highway speeds almost causing an accident both times. The clutch will engage which will disconnect the engine from the drive-shaft. You have no power to move forward and the car starts to slow down rapidly. I had to maneuver the car to the far right hand side of the road both times. Once i had stop, the focus would work in only first and second gear. If you tried to get the car to go into a higher gear the clutch would engage preventing you to move forward. The first time i had the focus repaired, the dealership stated that it was a defect in the software program and replaced the original with a new software program. Upon picking up my focus after the first repairs, i asked the ford service representative, will this fix the problem? He would not tell me the car was fixed, only that the repairs were made to ford |
