Description of the problem | About two weeks after purchasing my pre-owned 2014 ford focus, i started to experience some slight jerking whenever i pressed on the accelerator pedal. The jerking gradually got worse and i continued to drive to my home. My car stopped suddenly when i was traveling uphill on a highway. I had to sit and wait for a few minutes before i was able to keep driving. When i finally arrived home, i turned my car off and went in. I came back later to go somewhere and my car wouldn't start. I resolved to leave it be since it was the weekend and dealerships were closed. The next day my car started, but the jerking remained and now my check engine light was on. I drove with it for the time being because the dealership (toyota) that i purchased it from said they couldnt look into my possible transmission issues because i didn't purchase the extended warranty. I finally looked pretty deep into the issue and found there was a recall on the car i purchased and that many people experienced the same exact problems as i have. |
