Description of the problem | Purchased a used 2013 focus in january of 2014. Drove fine for the first 6 month but since then have had it in the dealership 3 separate times for transmissions issues (in under 9 months) each time ford claiming it fixed the issue. New hardware ford is claiming to have put in the car is failing again. Latest failure occurred at an intersection where i lost the ability to accelerate completely and had to get out and push the car with other motorists to saftey. The car then had to be towed to the dealer. This nature of this failure is going to eventually cause some serious injuries and crashes if it hasn't already. Given the number of complaints i urge the nhtsa to open an investigation into this. |
