Description of the problem | I have had multiple incidents with my 2014 ford focus related to the faulty transmission. Besides rough shifting and lots of shuddering over the years, my car has completely stalled on me while in motion, driving on the highway 2 different times. I lost the ability to accelerate while going more than 65 miles per hour, and i had to coast through high-speed traffic to get to the shoulder (both times). The first time this happened was july 29th, 2017 in fort lauderdale, florida. The 2nd time was june 6th, 2019 on the sawgrass expressway in broward county, florida. Both times were very scary and put myself and others at risk for a serious and dangerous accident. Early on, the ford dealership told me that the rough transmission is normal and would get better if i improved my driving habits. More recently i have been told that the transmission would fail again but that the warranty has been extended. |
