Description of the problem	Dps6 transmission is unreliable and vehicle is unsafe to drive due to inconsistent vehicle response when pushing accelerator pedal and ford cannot correct the recurring problem. The problems have occurred many times since we took delivery of the new vehicle in feb, 2014. Vehicle has been to dealership 9 times for shuttering/shaking, no response when pushing accelerator pedal, surging forward several seconds after pushing accelerator pedal following no response, hesitation when pushing accelerator pedal. Ford has replaced the clutch 4 times in the past 5 years and the problems randomly persist. The vehicle is at dealership now for most recent clutch replacement. Ford has updated the tcm/pcm at least 4 times and the same problems still recur. After the updates to the tcm/pcm and/or clutch replacements we've continually been told that the road tests are within ford specifications but the problems continue. In the most recent occurrence on 7/1/19, my daughter was turning left onto a busy road with cars traveling at 50 mph; her focus started into the oncoming traffic lane then hesitated while the accelerator pedal was pressed and the vehicle would not respond. The car coming toward her had to slam on his brakes to avoid t-bone collision. Her focus finally responded and she was able to complete the turn, but she came close to being seriously injured or killed. Upon hearing this situation, i immediately called the ford dealership to bring the car in. In june, 2018, at a stop light the focus would not respond when pressing the accelerator pedal, then after several seconds it lunged forward and almost hit the car in front of her. I bought this car new for my daughter. After reading the 7/12/19 detroit free press article, it's clear this is a flawed design. My daughter will never drive this vehicle again. It's a ticking bomb. It needs to be recalled.
