 Description of the problemPurchased focus in march of 2013 soon after purchase vehicle began to lurch and hesitate while accelerating almost to the point vehicle would stall gets very scary when pulling into traffic with no power to accelerate. I immediately took vehicle back to dealership and they confirmed i needed a clutch that there was a seal leaking which caused the failure! They performed repair and not even a month later the problem occurred so i returned the vehicle again just to find out the other clutch they didn't replace had failed also. They again replaced clutch and i returned home. Within 2 days of repair the vehicle started shuttering and when accelerating the vehicle wouldn't shift into any gear so i was stuck on the interstate going 40 mph in a 70 speed zone so i immediately pull over and call ford which tells me to bring it in on monday because there not open on saturday. I return vehicle to there disbelief that there is an issue because it has all the latest reflashes and clutches in vehicle but low and behold they inform me my transmission control module has failed and needs to be replaced. They replace tcm and send me home. Yesterday probably 2 months after virtually every component has been replaced vehicle starts to shudder horrible probably the worst i've experienced to date so i take it to my dealership and they inform me i need another clutch!!! The vehicle has 48k miles on it i am sick of worrying about whether or not i can accelerate and merge into traffic without the vehicle getting rear ended because the clutches are slipping. Something needs to be done. Thank you

    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.
