Description of the problem | Takata recall. My complaint is the severe hesitation with my car when taking off. I bought my vehicle 09/20/2013. It is a 2014 ford focus. When we first got the vehicle the hesitation was not noticeable at first, but after a few months of driving it, it started doing it. We took it back to ford and they suppose to have did something to rectify the issue. It was okay for awhile, but now it is doing the hesitation more worst now than it was the first time. It is to the point trying to go up a hilly road takes a minute because the car is not taking off right away. Basically it takes it a few minutes to get in gear. I did not know it was a recall until i visit a ford dealership; looking at another car. The salesman informed me and then i looked it up on the nhsta website. I never received anything from ford alerting me of a recall. This issue with the hesitation is really annoying, especially now that it has gotten worse. |
