Description of the problem | My 2014 ford focus began shuddering almost immediately after i bought it, which was may 2014. I took it to my ford dealer to explain. I was told it wasn't a problem and i should continue driving it. The shuddering continued. It normally happens when pulling out from a stopped or near stopped position, on flat and inclined surfaces. I took it back to the ford dealer once again. They said they adjusted a few things and i would be fine. Took it back a 3rd time and they said they had to order a new clutch. Scheduled an appointment to have that done. It worked fine for a few months, but i was back at the dealer multiple times with the shuddering and transmission/clutch issue. It has been replaced twice in my 2014 ford focus. I went back again to complain of same issue, i was told my warranty ran out and they could only replace clutch if i paid for it!!! I still drive it daily, with the shuddering. Worried at every stop, i hope the car doesn't stall, speed up or cause an accident!!! It occurs on city streets, ramps onto highways, at traffic lights, stop signs and yields. Car is usually going from stopped or slow speed going straight or turning. Please help me!!! |
