ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A 2018 FORD FOCUS SE THAT IS LESS THEN A YEAR OLD AND IT BOGS DOWN, ACTS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL OUT AND DOESN'T GET THE GAS MILEAGE IT'S SUPPOSE TOO. IT BOGS DOWN WHEN I AM DRIVING IT AND WHEN DRIVING IT WILL SPIT AND SPUTTER LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT ON ME THEN SNAPS OUT OF IT. FORD KEEPS TELLING ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN TAKING YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH TO SHIFT THE ENGINE RPMS WILL REMAIN FOR 7 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE FALLING AND ALLOWING YOU TO ENGAGE THE NEXT GEAR. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES THE ENGINE WILL REV APPROXIMATELY 1,000 RPMS HIGHER AND REMAIN FOR 7 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE FALLING. THIS ALL HAPPENS WITH NO INPUT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS HIGHER. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS (MANUAL TRANSMISSION).

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING, HESITATING, VERY ROCKY AND DOES NOT SHIFT NICELY. DRIVES LIE IT'S A MANUAL CAR; JERKS AND SHIFTS HARD. WHEN TAKING OFF CAR HESITATES AS THOUGH IT COULD STALL . BROUGHT IT IN TO BE SERVICED AT DEALER AND SERVICE EMPLOYEE PERFORMED WHAT HE EXPLAINED TO BE A SHUTTER TEST. I WAS ADVISED THAT IT DID NOT COMPLETELY FAIL THE TEST AND TO EXPECT IT TO GET SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE WITHIN THE NEXT TEN THOUSAND LMAO. CAR IS ONE YEAR OLD WITH 28,000 KM. TRANSMISSION SEEMS BUGGY AND UNRELIABLE . AFRAID THIS NEW CAR WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD. LOST ALL FAITH IN FORD FOCUS. IT IS RIDICULOUS THIS HAS NOT VERB RECALLED OR BOUGHT BACK TO FIX. I HAVE MADE MANY COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER AND WAS TURNED AWAY AND TOLD THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR THIS TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD IT WAS DESIGNED TO DRIVE LIKE IT'S A MANUAL CAR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. SERVICE CENTRE ALSO PERFORMED WHAT THEY CALLED A PC UPDATE. DID NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY PAPER WORK IN REGARDS TO SERVICE OR WORK DONE . HATE THIS CAR
