Description of the problem | I've had the transmission redone twice one at 58k the problem started at 31k and again at 86k two weeks later the same surging, jolting, loss of power is still happening. Ford motor co. And dealers are horrible to deal with. Ford motor co. Won't respond they take messages if you can actually talk to someone. There are thousands of these cars with this transmission which is crap. They need to discontinue use because the fix is not a fix. Someone needs to stop ford from producing unsafe cars. Any time i drive this care the jolts start after second gear then it doesn' change gears correctly it's sluggish this happens on streets and highways or when slowing down and attempting to speed up it has very little power and i end up wasting a lot of gas so the mpg's aren't correct in rating. Vehicle health report in syn is a joke, it will tell you your breaks are ok and they aren't. It goes through a quart of oil every 6 k miles. Now it's hard to start i jiggle the key and it sometimes starts there's a loud clicking noise and all the lights and electronics flicker then it finally starts. Don't buy any focus! I've submitted a previous complain not sure if this is even being read... I have all my service records. Don't have a scanner if you want to see them. Dealers initially told me several times i'm not "giving it enough gas" even though there was already a recall on the transmission and i had 30k on the care. |
