Description of the problem | When idling or beginning to accelerate, the car jumps. I don't know if it is a clutch or transmission problem. This began the first weekend i owned the car, august 28, 2014. I was told that the engine needed time to "get used" to me as a driver, and that this is a double clutch system, by the ford dealer i bought the car from. He said if it continued, then by all means, schedule it for repair. It continued to happen, jump/jerk at slow acceleration. I brought it to the ford dealership on 12/12/14. I am scheduled to have the car looked at on 1/27/2015, that is the earliest date they would give me after the ford dealership informed me that this was a special repair and they only take in so many ford focus cars at a time. They almost tried to talk me out of scheduling the appointment, the clerk said there were no available appointments and they wouldn't be scheduling any more for at least in to february. I was persistent. |
