 Description of the problemI was driving my vehicle thru a hospital parking lot with my father in the car going about 3-5 mph. I pressed the gas pedal and the engine reved high but car did not move. It was as if in neutral even though the car was in drive. Made an appt at the ford service departmant, but a day before the appt i was pulling out of my neighborhood onto a main road when it "hesitated" so badly that i was almost tboned. Service said it needed a software update. They said that they recorded slippage and that with the update it should be fine. The car since then has continued to hesitate and shift roughly. It rolls back on hills not stopping until either momentum runs out or i press the brake. It has even gone backwards on a flat surface while ideling. I almost hit another vehicle! I have taken it in multiple times-- they tell me its all normal that i need to learn how to drive the car. That they can't duplicate the issue. While at the dealership each time several other focus owners came in with similar problems. They refuse to help. They want to up my payments by 100 bucks just to swap to a safer car. I even spoke to a corporate manager. She did nothing except speak down to me. I finally sent in the official notice about claiming its a lemon. Something needs to be done. *js

  • 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.
  • What is Failure?

    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.
