Description of the problem | I rented a ford focus flex fuel 2014 from alamo car rental from ogg airport in maui. The car transmission failed all a sudden during acceleration from rest with a warning from the lcd display that there is a transmission problem and service is required immediately message. During this time, the transmission does not respond and the would easily roll back if on an inclined slope or sudden stop in the middle of a highway, which could cause serious rear collision. The bad thing is that alamo and ford know about this and they still rent out this model of the vehicle! Sorry i feel not providing my personal information for privacy purposes. I provided the alamo car rental address. Best rest assured that the ford focus flex fuel 2014 is defective with its transmission and is extremely dangerous! |
