 Description of the problemI have had transmission problems since i purchased my 2014 ford focus se. Within the first 15,000 miles, i had to get the transmission fixed because my vehicle was shuddering/stalling. Ford told me the transmission was under warranty and it would be free to fix. I had to have it fixed three other times before hitting 60,000 miles for the same issues. Now i am out of warranty and next time it will cost me $1500 to fix! These issues pose a true safety concern. About 10,000-ish miles after getting my car fixed it will begin to shutter when i'm pulling out into traffic. Over time this shutter becomes a hesitation or a stall, meaning that i become a sitting duck in the middle of intersections or when entering busy roads, or merging onto interstates. When driving it is important to be able to time your entry into traffic, i have to make sure to give myself an extra beat just in case my car decides to hesitate! Usually after a hesitation or shutter while entering traffic, my car fails to accelerate as it should which adds to the danger. In addition, my car will also roll/lurch forward at times when i have it in reverse. I must slam on my break and often take it out of gear before it will act as it should. It also does a weird thing when i am using my cruise control at higher speeds. If i push my break to cancel the cruise the engine sounds as though it is stuck, the rpms stay really high, and it is as though i am in neutral. My break still works but i can press my gas to the floor and it won't make a difference. The amount of time this lasts will vary. After complaining, i have been told i'm not driving my automatic correctly, or i have been offered the "opportunity" to buy a new ford. I have also been told its not a big deal because it won't put me on the side of the road. What i'm most concerned about is that it will get me killed while on the road.
