Description of the problem | Hello i purchased my 2014 ford focus sept 1, 2014 decided to get a ford being that i've had nothing but toyota corollas in the past and a plymouth neon that was given to me but prefer corollas anyways soon after i was driving it i noticed a jerking, revving on take off at first i thought ok it's just me but when my sisters noticed it and my brother while he took it to the store that's when i knew it wasn't just me. The car feels like it has no power upon take off which makes me really uncertain and afraid i don't feel insure letting anyone ride with me. I drive up ortega hwy a lot since my son lives in mission viejo it's a very up hill ride the car jerks a lot and again has no power i literally have to give it gas for it to move. I have taken it in twice now to get checked and both times they performed a update on the engine was what i was told and that the car was fine. I am not happy with my car i feel that i got ripped of they should discontinue this cars instead of selling them they are very hazards and should not be out on the roads. I am continuing making my payments since i don't want it to affect my credit buy i am not to happy since the car i thought was in good standards is not i wish i would of known this when i was buying this type of vehicle i was never informed of the kind of transmission i know that i did tell them i want a automatic not a dual automatic and standard transmission not a happy person right now. Very disappointing. |
