Complaint #1 the car overheated during a trip on the highway,had to detour . . . A hose was spewing water have a picture. . I only had the car for 2 or 3 days!! complaint #2 very serious, while driving 65 mph on a highway. The car jerked very hard and then lost power. There was no room to pull over,it was grass and a slight ditch,late at night no street lamps. . . The car would not start the fuel left to e was 78 miles. I called road side assistance. . . Semi truck swerved to miss us and every other semi and vehicle had to cross over the yellow lines to avoid smashing into the stalled car. My daughter and I sitting in the vehicle, the hour was 11:00 pm. Complaint #3 the car sputters into gear taking off . . By the way it was a one lane highway. Far from any town. .

Have a 2012 Focus se. Purchased in may of 2010. Since July of 2010, I have been taking it to the local dealership where I purchased the vehicle complaining that the car was surging, shuddering, and when I hit the gas pedal, it feels like the car stalls, gets no gas, or has trouble getting into gear. Of course, there are no known issues until a recall. Finally, the problem can be addressed. I take it in, they "fix it" it still shudders, and feels like it's going to stall out in the intersection. Next thing, my car overheats and dies at 11pm on the side of the interstate. I take to a different dealership and they say, well the clutch is bad and the cooling system is bad. Great 2012 car and two items have already went out. They change the clutch and cooling system, now when I back up, it grinds and bogs down. I have had my car for 2 years in may, 39,000 miles on it, and it's been in the shop a total of 4 times. They have changed the clutch and the cooling system. Was told the clutch needed "several hundred miles to break in" gave it about 500, still grinds when I back up, more so on an incline. Although now, it's decided it wants to studder when it starts. So it's back int eh shop for the 4th time, and I'm yet again in a rental car. I have a customer service guy through Ford, he's useless. . . I can't even get him to return a phone call. What is the point of him being there if he's not going to do his job. I don't feel that I'm getting any resolutions from the local dealerships I have dealt with, or from your customer care manager. I want a replacement vehicle. I have worked with Ford over 2 years and the vehicle is still having problems. Of course the dealership tells me this is an isolated issue. Please go to edmunds,com and you will see that this is not an isolated issue. . . There are multiple reports of the same problems that I am having.
