As I was driving my car it started to stall and it wouldn't accelerate. A check engine light was on. I kept driving the car home and it was not shifting at 35 to 40 miles p/hr. I took it to a repair shop near my house and they didn't repair it at all. From there I took it to another repair shop where they recommended that I take it to the dealer. So, I took my car to bob baker ford. Bob baker ford told me the car needed a new transmission and they charged me $3,076.10 dollars. The car was repaired but I believe that the transmission in my 2004 ford focus was defective when I bought it from them and they should pay at least for the cost of the new transmission.
2007 Ford Focus transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 43 of 43, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Was driving in good weather conditions and 2007 ford focus began to veer to the left and right out of control - I had no control over the steering or brakes is was as if the car went on auto pilot and started driving itself. After about twenty seconds of rocking left and right in the road the car made a sharp right and left the highway hit and flipped twice with my daughter and myself inside - fortunately we are both still alive the 2007 ford focus is totaled.
On an uphill section of road (slight incline) with an automatic transmission in drive while stopped for a stop sign, I released my foot from the brake and before I could step on the accelerator, the car started to roll backwards. I was able to realize what was happening and jammed down the gas pedal to avoid rolling backward into the next car in line behind me. A person crossing the street between my car and the car behind would have been crushed. I never had this happen on any other car with an automatic transmission before. The ford dealer tells me this is normal for a 2007 ford focus with auto transmission. I think it is a safety hazard. This roll back problem is not addressed in the owner's manual.
