What 2,641 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford Focus

I'm being persecuted by Ford Motor. I purchased a 2014 Ford Focus SE Jan. 26th 2018 from Rocco Degregorio at 6701 Essington Ave. told no recalls or safety issues.The car was brought back next day, driving improperly. Many problems found, was told all fixed.The car malfunctioned April 23rd 2018 accelerating forward disabling me for life! UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. Former attorneys, Rosenbaum &Associates mishandled my case, filed suit in 2020. Honorable Judge New gave me a stay. I'm representing myself for justice, in severe pain & more needed surgery.I have documents to prove all I say. How can I face trial alone?! I suffer physically, emotionally,financially going without medical supplies, medication. I pay $209.97 a mo.for a car that almost killed me, sits at auto collision where malfunction codes were obtained since 2018 to date, its evidence. A state investor detective said its the worse case of auto fraud she ever saw. Ford is blaming 3rd party suppliers for the defects on the suit. No inspection was done on my car from incompetent deceitful former attorneys. They blame me! I didn't do this! Read article, Watch the NBC nightly News 15 minutes in Links below. I was lied to, deceived from salesman,former attorneys, & Ford. The NBC nightly news aired 2019 Ford knew car was assembled dangerously,but put it in production! Ford took my life, identity,trust, mobility! This is injustice and inhumanity. Permanent injuries deteriorate my body, stress causes further health issues. Ford is killing what life I have left by torturing me. I wont give up on Justice! Please help! Speak with me, my witnesses, read my evidence auto fraud,product liability, personal injury, attorney malpractice, and Intervene! I want an end to the unhealthy involvement with Ford with Justice. Respectfully.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK HAS HAD CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO THE DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SINCE I BOUGH THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY 2015. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR LURCHES MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY CAR ACCIDENTS AND TERRIFIES ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE.THE LURCHING HAS ALSO LOOSENED PARTS OF MY CAR AND FEELS LIKE PARTS OF MY CAR COULD FALL OFF AT ANYTIME. MY ENGINE ALSO HAS ISSUES AND I'VE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT LEAST TWICE NOW DUE TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. I HAVE NEVER FELT SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE CAR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE EMPLOYEES KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A FORD CAR AGAIN.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR I HAD ISSUES FROM THE START. I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD HESITATE TO GO FORWARD AND THEN JERK. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A MANUAL CAR BUT I HAD AN AUTOMATIC. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR FOR THIS SPECIFIC REASON. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER IN CLARKSVILLE IN AND HAD TO WAIT OVER 3 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN. I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER CAR OR ANYTHING. ONCE I GOT THE PART IT WAS OK FOR LIKE LITERALLY MAYBE 1 OR 2 MONTHS AND THE ISSUES AROSE AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE LAST TIME I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED FOR FREE. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN 2016. IT IS NOW 2019 AND I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. AND THE CAR DOORS DO NOT ALWAYS LATCH TIGHTLY WHEN YOU SHUT THE DOOR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. NOW I AM STUCK STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING. I DID HAVE A WRECK IN THE CAR BACK IN 2016 WHERE I WAS PUSHING ON THE GAS AND IT JERKED REALLY HARD AND THEN WENT FORWARD VIOLENTLY AND I HIT A POLE. THE DAMAGE IS STILL ON MY CAR WHICH INCLUDES A BUSTED FRONT BUMPER AND THE CAR HORN IS NOT WORKING.
