Description of the problem	On 8/18/19 sent from yahoo mail on android ----- forwarded message ----- from: "[xxx] to: [xxx] sent: mon, aug 19, 2019 at 10:58 am subject: vin #[xxx] to whom it may concern, yesterday i was driving on hwy 17 in washington state and the transmission issues of my 2016 ford focus almost cost me my life. Hwy 17 is a 60 mph, two lane highway surrounded by farmland. While driving on that highway, i maneuvered to pass a semi-truck that was travelling at 50mph. There was more than enough distance from on-coming traffic to pass safely; well, that is if as i pulled alongside the semi-truck i hadn't lost all power even though i was pressing the accelerator. The rpm's went up to "the red" 7-8, i started losing speed and pacing beside the semi- truck. I could hope my acceleration ability came back, or i was going to try to brake and go back when i saw another car behind me in the passing lane, making me a sitting duck. For a few seconds of panic, i considered my options- mostly to go off in the ditch to the left. Luckily, the acceleration came back after the needle on the rpm's went haywire and i slowly was able to get in front of the semi-truck before oncoming traffic hit me. The car behind me sped past me as i got over, with a look that i interpreted as he thought i was trying to kill him. At 47k miles the first transmission faults began to appear. I have attached copies of the ford services and tickets opened due to the multiple, ongoing problems. I am not part of the class legal action for the transmission issues of 11-16 focus and fiestas. Respectfully, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
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.
