Anytime I try to make any sort of turn in this vehicle, trying to accelerate into the turn I essentially get stalled out even though the gas pedal is engaged and trying to power the vehicle to make the turn. It becomes a dangerous aspect especially when it starts to become busy on a main city street and the car won't accelerate like it's supposed to while trying to make the turn. My vehicle can start to make the turn and then start to stall out as I'm in the middle of the turn, and then it will sit there for a second until there are inbound cars coming and then it'll continue to make the turn after stalling for about 5 seconds. It's become a concern because it now comes down to waiting until the roadway is empty and full to make a safe turn. On top of that, if I'm going anywhere between 8 to 15 miles an hour, my car starts to stutter at low speeds. Not sure exactly what the cases for that, but it has raised some eyebrows and some concerns to myself with that because you never know what's going to happen if it starts to stutter and stalls out completely or disables the vehicle. This is the second hatchback I've purchased through ford, and it's the first time I've ever had any sort of issues with the vehicle. I just don't want something to happen while I'm driving or trying to make any sort of turns from a main street to a side street install out in the middle of the roadway and possibly get hit from oncoming traffic. Especially going through any sort of school zones when it's clearly marked to go 15 miles an hour or below. I would recommend looking into this issue, because it looks like it has happened very frequently with a few other 2017 focus's.

At unpredictable times, accelerator pressure results only in engine revving. This occurs regardless of current speed, when turning at any speed or when moving forward. The transmission will not engage for several seconds. When it does finally engage, it will do so in a burst of acceleration. These conditions create problems in which routine traffic maneuvers become unsafe.
