Description of the problem | Focus was bought brand new with 24 miles on it, december of 2013. Around 6 months into having it the focus started to shudder anytime the gas pedal was pressed, then will take off like normal after a few seconds. This is happening driving down the road or coming from a stop. We've almost been hit several times due to delays in intersections. It has been taken to ford many times first they would tell us "oh it is just the way the engine works, it's how you get great mileage".. Then heard about the recall, took it in and they replaced the ac clutch telling us that is why it shuddered. Not even a week later same problems started happening. They kept refusing to fix the problem. Now, after the manufactor warranty is expired they tell us the clutches need to be replaced , and that it is not covered under transmission warrenty.. This has been on going since 2014, it needs to be fixed. Also the horn stopped working one day for no reason at all, they looked at that it. The tech said they need to replace the entire horn and that its a common problem among the focus . This is unacceptable and ford needs to fix these problems. |
