HAVE TAKEN MY FOCUS FOUR TIMES TO FORD. TWICE FOR THE SHUDDERING THE CAR WAS DOING TO TUCKER FORD IN BRUNSWICK ME. AND NOW TWICE TO ROWE FORD IN AUBURN, ME. WHERE A NEW CLUTCH WAS PUT IN AND NOW THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND FORD WILL NOT COVER. THEY WANT 950.00 TO DO THE WORK AND I MAY GET MY MONEY BACK IN THE SETTLEMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN THERE FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE CODE FROM THE CAR AND ALL REPAIR RECORDS SINCE I FILED WITH THE SETTLEMENT GROUP. FORD IS MAKING THINGS EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH ANY CLUTCH ISSUES. THEY EVEN ADMIT THE ISSUES AND DO NOTHING AT THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ARE WAITING FOR THE CUSTOMER TOP GET MADE AND JUST PAY FOR THE REPAIR SO THAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE TO COVER IT IN THE END. THE CODE THAT CAME UP IS TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW AND NO HILL ASST.. I WAS DRIVING ON A FLAT ROAD.

THERE WAS MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE CLUTCH FOR MY CAR. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN CHANGED 3+ TIMES AND IT IS STILL BROKEN. AND FORD REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR WILL SLIP GEAR WHEN DRIVING THEREFORE CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE MOTION AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. THE CAR ALSO WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED DUE TO SLIPPING OF GEAR. THIS UNFIXED ISSUE HAS CAUSED ME END UP WITH NO CAR AND A NEWBORN BABY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RADIO MALFUNCTION. AFTER SOME TIME OF DRIVING, THE RADIO WILL BEGIN TO CRACKLE WHICH LEADS ALMOST UNBEARABLE POPPING WITHIN THE SPEAKERS AND HAS ALSO CAUSED THE RADIO TO STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER BUT STILL MAKES THE POPPING NOISE. POPPING NOISE IS SO LOUD THAT IT HAS FRIGHTENED THE DRIVER SEVERAL TIMES. THE DRIVER HAS EVEN MADE THE DECISION TO JUST REMOVE THE RADIO FROM THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT BEING FRIGHTENED AND JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENS NEARLY ALL OF THE TIME, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, WHETHER TURNED OFF OR RUNNING.

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS A HORRIBLE CLUTCH SHUDDER AND SLIPS WHEN YOU TRY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD ABOUT THIS AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SLIPPAGE. THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS A SHUDDER PROBLEM, BUT REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE. THE TITLE IS BRANDED DUE TO AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THE REAR PASSENGER CORNER AND IT BEING A CHEAP CAR. THE ACCIDENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH THEY DESIGNED AND NEW THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN. THIS SHUDDER/SLIPPING PROBLEM HAS ABOUT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE TIMES NOW AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS ACT LIKE THIS. IT WILL DO GREAT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN WHEN YOU NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY IT WILL REAR ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN. IT IS THE WORST WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR TURN IAS YOU PULL OUT IT SEEMS, BUT ALWAYS FROM A STAND STILL OR CLOSE TO IT.

TAKATA RECALL. ON THE DATE OF 9/4/19 WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO A MAIN STREET, MY CAR STALLED AS I SHIFTED MY GEAR INTO DRIVE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON AFTER. I THEN PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM IMPEDING TRAFFIC BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PROCEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND PUSH THE CAR TO A SAFE AREA. AFTER, I TURNED OFF AND ON MY CAR HOPING THIS WOULD JUST BE A MINOR ELECTRICAL MISTAKE BUT WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE BACK ON, THE CAR WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 15 SECONDS (WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL) TO JOLT FORWARD AND PROCEED TO DRIVE IN A JITTERY MANNER. WHILE DRIVING TO MY NEAREST MECHANIC, THE CAR CONTINUED TO STUTTER, WHILE THE GAS PEDAL AND ACCELERATION DID NOT CORRESPOND WITH EACH OTHER. UPON ARRIVING TO MY MECHANIC I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I MAY STILL HAVE WARRANTY ON MY FORD VEHICLE. I WAS THEN TOLD BY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT I HAD AROUND 6 OR 7 RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE, ONE BEING TRANSMISSION. I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS NOR DID I RECEIVE ANY NOTIFICATION THAT MOST OF THESE RECALLS WERE CALLED ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER TALKING WITH THE FORD SERVICE ASSISTANT HE STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION FULLY BUT ONLY REPLACE THE PARTS THAT WAS RECALLED FOR THE VEHICLE (TRANSMISSION MODULE). I WAS AT RISK OF A VERY BACK CAR ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FORDS RECALLS AND THE LACK OF THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE THEIR CUSTOMERS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. I AM VERY UPSET AND WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
