Description of the problem	On december 26, 2015 i bought my daughter a used 2013 focus four door sedan with 46882 miles from a local dealership in annapolis, maryland. The car drove very nice with no obvious problems. In early february this year my daughter noticed that the transmission made a loud rattling, shuttering noise from a stop. It now happens from pulling forward from every stop, like from a stop sign or traffic light. The cars feels like there is no power to the wheels and when the transmission catches it lunges froward. The transmission feels like it is shifting between first and second gear and vibrates badly. The symptoms are getting worse and now the symptoms are worse and it happens almost every time you start from a stop. It is also worse if you are on an incline or slight hill although the symptoms can occur on a flat road. The symptoms also occur in reverse. The problem is now happening almost all the time. The car does not appear safe to drive. The car currently has only 49000 miles. I bought this car for my daughter and now i can not let her drive it since she commutes 75 miles a day. My daughter now has to use her mom's car and since i am handicapped i can not drive the focus so my wife has to and i feel she is at risk of injury or worse. I am over 50 years old and have never had a car do this. I have talked to other focus owners and they all have the same problem. Someone has to do something to ford to have them fix the transmissions before a death occurs. Not only do the dealerships not know how to fix the problems they are saying nothing is wrong. Please help us consumers who have been the victims of fords new transmission. Ford has not fixed this problem which was reported in 2012... It is now 2016!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
