Description of the problem | Hi, i notice shuddering in my vehicle when i accelerate form completer stop. I had this problem since i bought the vehicle 3 years ago at 24000 miles. I assumed its because of sudden acceleration that the wheels are slipping. But after reading the news about transmission problems in other ford focus, i believe the problem is transmission related. I consulted a mechanic on this and the associated ford dealer informed me that the there was a warranty extensions for vehicles built till nov 5th of 2015. My vehicle was built on dec 21st of 2015. I already drove the vehicle for 85000 miles. I donot want to be burdened with expensive repairs once ford decides later to extent the warranty to 100000 mile and i donot qualify. Hope someone can help me in this matter. The shuddering happens at random and i am at a loss to explain why. Under rainy conditions shuddering at the 4 way intersection was also noticed and can be dangerous if it happens again. |
