At 68,000 miles, the transmission began experiencing symptoms of a failed transmission.

4th time: engine misses,violent shaking like torque converter is connected, gas pedal not responsive, dash board lights up with a wrench. Owners manual says go to dealer ASAP. Been to dealer once, they said a transmission reprogramming was necessary. Now it has happened again within 12 days of being "fixed".

I purchased a new focus. I drove it for two weeks. The transmission is of a poor design, I frankly refuse to drive it. It nearly crashed through my barn. I was simply backing it in when it decided to lurch hard. I slammed on the brakes. Luckily it did stop. Prior to this incident the car did not operate correctly at all. . Seemingly endless clutch chatter, slippage, unpredictable shifting,its is a horrid car to drive. I was noticing the smell of clutch. I had it towed back to the dealer. I do not want it back. I do not know why Ford motor company would put to market a horrible dangerous erratic transmission into parking spaces is a pure adrenaline rush. You do not know what it might do. They say its a automatic , however it is not . It is a duel clutch transmission's would not drive this car again. Its frankly dangerous. However the salesman called and said" you don't know how to drive this car. Its something you will get used too". I did not buy a new car to get used to it. Its a road hazard. In my opine its a defective product. I'm pretty sure after 32 years of driving I know how to drive. Very unhappy at the blue oval team. Here is what Ford should do. Halt production . Use a torque converter type transmission. And refund anyone who asks for one. A cheerful refund is in order. How can they advertise a automatic transmission when mechanically its not?avoid this car. Boooo on the 2012 focus. I guess the consumer is Ford motor companies r and d team. Why should consumers be stuck holding the bag. This is bad business practice and Ford has a social responsibility to make this right. As stated earlier I do not want it back!.
