Description of the problem | 2014 ford focus has shut down while driving two times. Once in the middle of a busy road i was able to coast the car into a parking lot. The second time in my neighborhood, both times tranmissuon fault service now flashed, the car shuddered until it was at a complete stop. I've had the clutch replaced/fixed 2 times neither covered under fully and i was responsible to pay my warranty deductible. I have had the trandmission control module fixed once and now in the shop again, but was told they don't know what the issue is, haven't seen the codes that populated before. Each time i drive that car i literally risk my life, to have a car just drop rpm to 0, shudder and jerk until i can find somewhere to park it. I drive 40 miles one way to work taking up to 5 different freeways. At what point does my safety and those driving around me become an issue? When i stall out mid highway? When the car jerks to a stop and someone slams into me? Each time the car has been taken in, i am told the problem is fixed, yet i find myself back again within months for the same issue. Losing power on a car while being in full motion going up to 45 mph, is not safe for anyone. Having to drive a car that consistently shakes and jerks while in motion, is not safe. How many more times does this need to occur before someone realizes this model is not safe! |
