 Description of the problemI purchased my first brand new 2014 ford focus about the end of september 2013. Being that i was driving a prior clunker and then i started to drive this new fancy and exciting car, i figured i wasn't too familiar with driving something new! As soon as i drove it the transmission or as i say the front of the car would do a jerking almost like a whiplash type movement no matter what speed i was driving. I took the car into the dealership and they tell me that it needs to update the computer software. I immediately have the same issues after that car was returned back to me and when i took it in this time they now tell me i broke the cvt/ or the clutch? This car was sold as an automatic but i later find out that it shifts like a manual to save on gas??? I would have never purchased this vehicle if i was aware of this detail. My husband is now terrified for me to drive the car. I'm beyond disappointed in ford and its ignorance to knowingly place the public in a potential dangerous situation and a financial problem as well. All my husband and i truly want is to be placed in a safe vehicle, especially since we have poured our hard earned money into a trusted company that is doing a good job with promoting a terrible reputation thus far.

  • What is Recall?

    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.

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
