Description of the problem | On august 27, 2014 i was in the process of making a right turn from west bound adams street to north bound 19th avenue in phoenix arizona when the car stopped moving forward. The car acted as if it went out of gear; engine was still running, but car was not moving forward. Then suddenly the car jerked going forward at an uncontrollable speed. I was not able to control the car as it drove into the wrong lane of traffic. I was fortunate there was not another car in that other lane at that time. I filed a complaint about this car previously, prior to this incident occurring. I had read that there are a lot of other complaints regarding the ford focus and there is a current class action law suit in the state of california. Ford is attempting to hide their defective by attempting to reprogram the computer and denying any defect. The car has transmission problems that is placing the public in danger of life threatening and or physical injury. Updated 12/29/2015*js |
