Description of the problem	I bought my car just a few weeks ago, 4/2017 almost immediately it started this "sputtering" anytime i would move forward from a complete stop. Some people calling this a shutter. The hesitation is at every stop on every take off. I took it in to a ford dealership near my home, & i was told that this is a known common problem at ford & it involved a clutch issue or faulty tcm with this automatic manual transmission. Ford was aware of the problem, yet continued to sell these cars. The ford service tech manager after hearing my issues, looked up my cars zin & told me that ford stopped the recall on my model focus on cars made after june 2013. My car was built 8/13 two months after the recall deadline. So let me get this straight every car made in this focus style from 2012 -2014 except my car and a few others bill after 6/13 are covered under a recall for this exact same issue that i am having. I was told this is because they put new type seals in the transmission after 6/13. They did a tcm flash to the transmission that is covered under a recall so ford knows this is a known issue even for cars made after 6/13 or they would not need to have a recall issued for it. The manger took in my complaints in stride and said many focus have this problem. So i guess i just bought the most dangerous vehicle that i have ever driven (30 years and 10 cars later) in my life. I'm guess i'm wondering why ford would stop the recall midyear when clearly the transmission is still having problems obviously in cars after being built on or after 6/13. It shudders at take off, has trouble going from first to second. The car does this when starting from a dead stop mostly but it has also happened when the car slows down to a light, the lights changes and the car sometimes hesitates or lurches as its try's to find the right gear while starting to going faster again.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
