Description of the problem | When test driving this 2014 ford focus i felt the car shudder on take off and when pulling out into traffic hesitation. I asked the salesman about this and just shrugged it off as no big deal. After purchasing the auto i had to return to the dealer in parsons, ks. And was told it was the way i was accelerating. No way there is something wrong with this vehicle. After 3 different returns and work done it still does the same thing. I am 82yrs old and do not feel safe driving this car. Ford motor knew they put out a faulty vehicle but sold it anyway. They extended the warranty to 100000 miles but each time you return for service they say they can't do anything unless the engine light is on. Ford supposedly put out a notice to repair these cars when they came in on 7-12-2019 to 7-19-2019 but when i called i was told by the service manager he knew nothing about this and could only do anything if told by ford. I contacted pittsburg ford on 7-19-2019 and asked to speak to the service manager but unable to locate him so i left my name and phone number and have yet to hear from him. This happens when driving, pulling out into traffic and when driving on the highway. On occasion the transmission slips/ |
