Description of the problem | I bought a brand new 2014 ford focus and didn't have any issues for about 3 months or so but then the car started jumping and making grinding sounds and getting worse and worse especially when i would take off at a light or when i would merge into traffic it's especially bad when your sitting in slow traffic you need to give yourself more room or you might rear-end someone. I almost got into a really bad accident trying to pull out into traffic but thank god the person i was trying to get in front of moved over because my car just jumped a little and felt like it stalled out. I took it back to the dealer and they knew all about the problem but there was no recall on it yet which i could hardly believe because i work with someone who had the exact same car and had the same problems. They did replace the clutch in march but now its august and i'm going back in because i'm having the same problems. I'm really disappointed, i really like my car. If i wouldn't loose a lot of money on it i would trade it in for something else, its not safe and its been such a hassle. |
