 Description of the problemI bought my car in december of 2014, certified preowned. After having the car for not even a full month, i received a call that i had a clutch that came in to their service department. I had not ordered one, nor did i know the car needed one at time of purchase. Since then i have been through 3 clutches and the fourth was just ordered monday june 12, 2017. Every 15,000 miles the car begins to shudder and experience shifting hesitation. This is extremely unnerving, especially when it only does it when taking off from a stop or when accelerating after slowing down foe say a red light that just turned green. It doesn't make me feel safe, i've had multiple instances where this has caused near collisions when pulling out into traffic because the car essentially stalls out and i stop moving. Ford has not issued a recall for this and this is my third year experiencing these problems. I don't want to pay for something that is the manufacturers responsibility. I got a recall for something trivial, door latched, but not thw huge safety problem that is my clutch failing. The dealer also stated on a 07/16/16 invoice that this is a recall item, but i'm still paying for it. I have all prior invoices of all clutch work done
