Transmission Noise problems of the 2017 Ford Focus

2017 Ford Focus. Consumer writes in regards to defective transmission. The consumer stated the transmission would hesitate and vibrate when in stop and go traffic. There was a grinding noise when accelerating from a stop. The manufacturer was not notified. The dealer could not duplicate the failure.

Beside the two safety recalls 18v-735 and 19v-515 there is another issue with the car which when it rains all the rain water penetrates the back door of the car and it stays there for a long period of time due to the poor design of Ford motor company and its negligeance and fraud. I believe this issue might be a safety risk and it should be investigated. After the recalls and the poor repairs the car still unsafe to drive because the transmissions problem is irreparable which means this car will never be safe to drive and everyday I drive it to work whenever I stop in a hill at a traffic light or stop sign I hear noise coming from the transmission and if it happened that I stopped suddenly in the middle of the hill due to traffic the car losses its power and barely moves forward ( loss of power due to faulty transmission)this issue caused me an accident early this year when the car lost power up hill in my neighborhood . The conclusion is my car and all 2017 Ford Focus are not safe to drive . I believe that Ford motor company and the dealer who sold me this garbage car deceived all of us and committed a big fraud . I think it is time for the government to open an investigation and force them by law to buy their garbage cars back . Until this moment I still believe that there is no one above the law. Thank you for reading my complaint .

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Ford Focus. While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle hesitated and made a choking noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (lynn layton Ford, 3300 us-31, decatur, al 35603) where it was diagnosed that the clutch and transmission failure needed replacement. The vehicle was in the process of being repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 8,000.

After owning my now 2nd Focus, only to get out of my first 2013 Ford Focus that had transmission/internal clutch, to get into a 2017 Ford Focus which I learned today for the 1st time has the same transmission. Before I made the purchase of the 17 on July 1st, 2017, I was told they no longer had the dual clutch internal automatic transmission, which is why I was willing to trade the 2013 Focus in for the 2017. My current '17 only had about 7600 miles on it when I started feeling the car shutter between 1st and 2nd gear. Then more recently between 2nd and 3rd gear. My previous vehicle had been back to oxmoor Ford in louisville ky 6 times for fixes, which there never was a known fix. My current '17 is in for the first time. Same issues as the 13 year model. As I drive it, it clinks and makes rattle noises in addition to the shuttering. It sounds as though the transmission is going to drop out of the bottom of the car. It's unsafe and will continue to get worse as times goes on just as my 2013 did. The sales manager of oxmoor Ford is who sold me my 2017 Ford Focus which was all under false pretenses.
