Description of the problem	I recently purchase this 2013 ford focus se 6spd powershift with appearance package on june 8 2013. When i took it only had 7 miles. As i drove the next couple of days i heard noise coming from underneath when accelerating from stop and go traffic and this happens between 5 to 20 miles per hour as i accelerate and then it disappears. I went online and google this noise and read the threads looks like it needed to break in. When i reached around 700 miles on the odometer the noise is almost gone but still there and not as bad as before. Today june 30, 2013, it has 1183 miles on the odometer as i was making a turn from the light accelerating i got a sudden shift felt like something hit me from behind and heard a thunk when it shifted after that it went through the shifting sequence as i accelerated. This is the first time i bought a new car and have this kind of issues. I read about the power shift tsb bulletin but something is not right in this car hopefully ford will fix this problem before warranty runs out. I believe the way its shifting something will wear out fast and ford needs to act on this.
