I have own a 2013 ford focus and when i try to accelerate, it seams the car revs up but doesn't go any faster. that doesn't happen all the time but when it does it's scary to think that i might get rear-ended when i'm switching lanes on the freeway. the car also switches gears a little rough. something definitely feels off about this transmission.
My vehicle has been in the shop repeatedly every since i purchased it in 2012 car not accelerating when it should. it hesitates and shudders violently when taking off in first gear. i have been told that i must have a new clutch system put in a transmission at my expense. when the vehicle is cool it will shift good but as it is driven more, the worse it gets at shifting.
While starting to accelerate my car leaped forward and i had to slam on the brakes to prevent me from rear ending another vehicle. my car then startling stuttering from the faulty transmission. the car does not shift properly.
The car is unsafe to drive due to the transmission. it shakes violently and will not accelerate at times. i have had it to the dealership many times over the last 2 years with no fix in place.
The car has had several recalls and transmission problems since the day i got it. it has clutch issues that leaves me stalled stuck in gear in the middle of rush hour traffic. it has left me stuck in my garage and not being able to go in reverse for days at a time.
The cars transmission will shudder and hesitate from a stopped condition. i have had it repaired 2 times and about to take it in for a 3rd. this has been an ongoing issue with this transmission
I've had transmission problems since purchasing the car. two days ago the car would not go into reverse and the engine light came on - it was stuck in the garage at this time. i was finally able to get the car to reverse and the light went off a few hours later. yesterday the car, again, would not reverse and the engine light came back on. this time it was stuck in a parking lot. after many attempts, some of which lead to the car not starting at all, the car finally turned on, and reversed after roughly half an hour. this morning i took the car to webb ford in highland, in for repairs as the transmission has a 100,000 mile warranty. the dealership said they are backed up for over 2 weeks and would not even let me leave my car. the nest closest dealer in calumet city, il is not taking transmission work at all. now, after leaving work, my car will not go over 15mph without jerking and chugging and it seems that i have no way to get the transmission fixed even though it's under warranty because no one will take my car.
The car, is now , beginning to not start,. which i suppose that doesn't matter since the transmission is still completely out, i wish ford would fix it, or go ahead and allow me to collect on the settlement
The car, started jerking really hard. it was not shifting well, then not at all, it slung me into traffic even with my brakes pressed. the car began to just idle almost as if in neutral then it said warning transmission hot
