MY BOYFRIEND AND I BOUGHT A 2012 FORD FOCUS SE HATCHBACK ON SEPTEMBER FIRST. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS MY BOYFRIEND NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT RIGHT BUT HE THOUGHT THIS WAS HAPPENING JUST BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NEW. THEN, WHEN DRIVING TO WORK I NOTICED THAT WHEN I STOPPED ON ANY INCLINE STREET BETWEEN TAKING THE FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PLACING IT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR ROLLED BACK QUITE QUICKLY TO THE POINT THAT I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. DAYS LATER, I STARTED TO FEEL THAT THE STEERING REQUIRED BOTH HANDS AT ALL TIMES. IT WAS CONSTANTLY WANDERING AND SHAKY SPECIALLY DURING TURNS. TO TOP IT OFF ON SEPTEMBER 27TH SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED. I WAS IN THE DRIVE WAY, I SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A LURCH. THE CAR ACCELERATED SO RAPIDLY EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I LOST COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR FAILED TO SLOW DOWN HITTING TWO CARS AND TEARING DOWN A FENCE. I COULD FINALLY STOP THE CAR WHEN I QUICKLY SHIFTED TO PARK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW FORD SELLS THIS CAR WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS RISKING PEOPLE'S LIVES. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. HOW MANY FATALITIES ARE THEY WAITING FOR? ARE THEY GOING TO DO SOMETHING EVER ABOUT THESE MALFUNCTIONS? THIS IS RIDICULOUS IF I HAVE KNOWN ALL THESE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT IT FOR SURE. *TR
