Description of the problem | The 2014 ford focus se. My mom and i traded in another vehicle for this car. It was working fine at the first 3 months of having it, but then after the second month, the transmission on this car started to fail. It would start to shutter and cause you to have problems accelerating trying to keep up with the car ahead of me after each full stop, or during traffic hours on a freeway/highway. This vehicle also had a problem when i was just barely getting on the freeway i tried pushing the gas peddles to reach 65mph, but for some questionable reason the gears were having trouble switching and as i look at the meter gage it showed 50mph. I push more on the gas peddle to get more speed and it would not move higher than 55mph. For some appearent reason it stayed stuck at 50-55mph. I'm quite disappointed on the dealers who sold us the car which they knew the issue of these particular vehicles, and also the manufacturers who have cause concern for who ever had bought this type of vehicle. I would appreciate if they would just recall any ford focus or any other vehicles that have such malfunctioning. America is suppose to be at the top, but what's going on with this issue that needs to be resolved. I'm was born in the philippines, but i was raise in the usa. I always thought the us was one top notch place to live. America is the life and i expect alot from thee higher up's/bosses.. For sure though, safety first for all vehicles designed and created and manufactured here in america or wherever they got their vehicles.. This place is one great place to live. We should live up towards true future expectations of any type of crucial designs of what so ever or some sort. America lets step up the richter scale of exclusiveness. God bless to all with peace and respect always. |
