Description of the problem	I bought my 2014 ford focus from a dealership 2 yrs ago. The first week of driving it i noticed a "shuddering " feeling after accelerating from a stop. I took it back to the dealership that week and the salesman tried to tell me that was normal for this car due to ther "special" transmission that the focuses have. A week later, after nearly getting broadsided due to the shuddering and not being able to accelerate going up a hill from a stop, i brought it back again and had the service manager go for a ride with me and he agreed, i had a problem. Long story short, 2 yrs later and 3 times having the transmission dropped and new clutch installed, i want out from under this lemon of a car. Yesterday i had all this done for the 3rd time under warranty but when it happens again w/in the next year, and i fully expect it to, my car will no longer be under warranty. I can not afford a $2500 fix once a yr! I have started the process to have a possible buy back as i still owe a considerable amt on my loan. No one at ford seems to care. There really is no fix for this problem. The internet is flooded with complaints about these cars. I've also read that some people have gotten a letter extending their warrenty to 7 yrs or 100,000 miles. Why haven't i gotten that letter yet? Ford needs to make this right! This is a lousy unsafe car!
