Description of the problem	The clutch in my 2014 ford focus has now been replaced 3 times, with the most recent time being this week. I purchased this car in feb. '14, and it has 30k miles on it. When the clutch needs to be replaced, the car shudders and jolts coming out of first gear, leaving me unsure of whether it will accelerate properly. The vehicle is sluggish when accelerating through the gears, especially when driving up a hill. Once the vehicle maintains a constant speed, the problem is resolved until i stop or slow down. The dealership does not seem to be able to fix the problem. In fact, it just keeps getting worse. The first time that i took the car in to have it inspected for the shuddering (~11k miles; aug '14), it was displaying problems above 400 rpm. The second time that i took the car in for the same problem (~23k miles, may '15), i had nearly been in an accident in rush hour traffic in atlanta, ga, and the car failed the clutch test at 400 rpm. This last time that i took the car in to be repaired (30k miles, sept '15), it was failing at 500 rpm. A ford representative told me that the car is considered unsafe to drive at 550 rpm. Nonetheless, they still left me to drive the car for 3 weeks while i waited on the part to come in and the dealership to have the availability to see me. When i picked the car up from the dealership yesterday for the third clutch to be replaced, i drove ~5 miles and heard a strange noise coming from the front driver's side wheel at all speeds. I immediately informed the dealership, who requested that i bring the car back in to be further inspected. I am awaiting further information about this latest incident.

What is Failure?
