Description of the problem | At around 24,000 miles our 2014 focus transmission starting shuttering during take-off, most notably between 1st and 2nd gear. It is unpredictable and sometimes dangerously hesitant to get going. You had better hope the day you really need the car to move it does; but not surge unexpectedly. The most frustrating point is ford says it's normal. Normal! I have driven cars with automatic and manual transmissions for over 35 years never, has this been normal!!! |
