The clutch system on my manual 2011 Ford Focus went out. The clutch now plays on the floor board with no catch in it. The gears wont budge.

When the clutch went out it was on the main highway in bridge city, TX.
Several times, my breaks have not responded while pressing down on them, my foot will be to the ground and there is nothing. It caused my vehicle to crash into the vehicle in front of me the first time it happened going 35 miles an hour.
With less that 70000 miles on the car my transmission started to go out on me. I have since had the transmission replaced as it is under warranty, and less than a week after getting it fixed it was already started to go on me and has gotten progressively worse over the six months.
The vehicle was purchased brand new but the transmission has always shifted rough. The dealer said it was because Ford had redesigned the transmission so it would shift better and be more fuel efficient. Even though we complained the dealer said there was nothing that they could do. Consequently, this problem has effected the cars overall performance and has now become so bad that the car is difficult to drive. The transmission shifts rough, jumps or launches out , shakes, has hesitation and even rolls back if you are on a hill. Consequently, the car seems unsafe to drive as it feels at times like the car might jolt out because of the rough shifting. When the car shifts rough at high speeds it tends to pull it to one side.
My vehicle slips when changing gears. . First started when shifting from 1st to 2nd. . It's automatic trans. That was yesterday now it stalls going into any gear.

I was driving from houston to the woodlands going home from work. Noticed the rpm kept revving up and I couldn't control the speed. The wrench light came on. I have taken good care of this car. Have had problems with the rpm meter and my engine before. Ron carter in alvin said it was a computer issue and "fixed" it while it was under warranty. The problem has now come back in unsafe driving conditions. I could have serious hurt or killed myself and other drivers around me. I feel the transmission is having major problems.
This is the first report of 3 separate instances. Starting up from waiting at a signal light the system flashed "stop safely now". ( I had just touched the display screen to view the battery power. ) proceeding through a left turn and when getting to the curb the system shut down. At that point a complete turn off of the car was attempted which did not happen, with the display still being active. Repeated attempts finally completely shut down the system, which was then restarted normally. The other two instances occurred while backing out of the garage, and rounding a neighborhood turn.
Throttle body went out on my 2011 Ford Focus ses while driving. Brought it into hub city Ford in lafayette, la for them to look at it.

The car has poor steering, poor suspension control over bumps, an acknowledged but unrepaired transmission mount, severe alignment issue, tires are feathered and cupped per dealer and dealer is not willing to fix it. The care is unsafe to drive but the dealer states if we do not purchase new tires, pay for an alignment that they will not fix the faulty transmission mount. It has been at 3 Ford dealers in the past 3 weeks. I said nothing is wrong (thomas Ford in beverly MA), next fixed a bearing and 2 suspension parts and said it is fixed (it was not) (danvers motor company, danvers MA) and finally the selling dealer said the alignment, tires and transmission mount are faulty (jack madden Ford, norwood, MA). This care is unsafe and is under bumper to bumper warranty.
