Description of the problem	Every time my ford focus shifts from 1st-2nd or 2nd-3rd the entire car not only shutters but its extremely sluggish and seems like it's going to stall out. (automatic transmission) there are no warning light lit on my dash and the car barely has 56,000 miles on it. When i bought the car it had 35,000 miles and the problem existed then and has progressively gotten worse. Yesterday i was at a yield sign to enter the round about near my house and when i pressed the gass my car shuttered horribly and only went forward a few feet, i was nearly struck by a truck that had to suddenly swerve to keep from hitting us. I took my foot off the gas. When i pressed it again, this time with more force, it shuttered and jerked so hard it forcefully threw my head back against the seat! My 5yr old daughter that was in the back seat was crying uncontrollably, scared because we were almost hit by a truck! The seatbelts in the backseat of my car, have came unbuckled several times while my 2yr old and 5yr old children were in their carseats. When i attempt to rebuckle them it takes about 15- 20 minutes of my consistently trying to get the buckle to latch onto the seatbelts!

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
