Description of the problem | My ford focus shudders when accelerating and lurch forward without warning when i'm slowing down or accelerating. I have had it repaired once and need to go back again. How many times do i have to go without a car because the dealership once again has my car in for repairs due to a manufacturer transmission defect. Also, what premature internal wear is this all causing? Will i need to replace parts before they would normally need replacing or fixing?! I'm worried the car will breakdown or there will be a crash where someone gets seriously hurt. It has been brought to my attention that ford knew about the defect and concealed the information and there are numerous law suits out there for this particular issue. I really don't feel safe driving the car anymore. I can't remember the specific date of the first incident but i can find out from the dealership if necessary. |
