The NHTSA is non compliant with standards that they have set. From 2012-2015 Ford Focuses have been manufactured/sold/leased that are unsafe for public use. The safety defect is with the power train of the vehicle; the transmission fails while being operated and ian liable to cause an accident. This has happened to myself while driving and the NHTSA has ignored the issue. This safety defect meets the standards of what is required for a vehicle to be investigated with intent to recall. The secretary of transportation is not being held to her responsibility to investigate safety defects that have potential of death/injury. I request an investigation into my vehicle specifically which is a 2015 Ford Focus. I have done everything the manufacturer asks as far as regular maintenance, new tires when necessary, regular servicing, replacing all parts and equipment advised my the service department of my vehicles manufacturer (Ford motor company). The vehicle hasn't nearly killed me 3 times and is unsafe. When will the NHTSA honor their legal requirements to take action on known safety issues?.
