Description of the problem | My 2014 ford focus shudders and jerks when taking off from a stop. This is extremely dangerous especially at traffic lights or on the highway because it is extremely difficult to resume driving after a slow down, and i am scared that i will get hit because my car cannot accelerate fast enough. This happened recently in march of this year on the highway, and i was fortunate to escape being hit at the last minute. I have taken the car to two different ford dealerships in houston for them to check if the car is part of the transmission recall, but they wanted to charge me for the diagnostic test, i do not think this is fair since this is a known issue with this car. |
