Horrible

2012 Ford Focus Titanium 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6AM)
DO NOT BUY. The transmission is absolutely horrible and ford will do NOTHING to fix it. I have broken down 2 times, my car will not accelerate and the
RPMS just go crazy. I have had it in the shop 3 times within the past 2 months and they refuse to do anything for it.
Ford Focus 2012 Titanium : Nightmare

The ford Focus 2012 Titanium
Last september 2011, i have bought a Ford Focus 2012 Titanium. That day was the day when i did my worst error ever .
Just one week later  not one year, but one week  i was driving
in Montreal city when strange noises were coming out from transmission. At low speed and especially during a stop and go situation, some strong vibrations and stalling occured … regularly. Since september 2011, i visited Ford dealer more often than the last 10 years driving Honda and Toyota. Despite -
so far - four computer update trying to resolve that transmission nigthmare, the situation got worse.
One big LEMON!

What a lemon and huge disappointment the car has been.
I guess I am even more disappointed in Ford for not standing behind their vehicle.
I have had nothing but issues with this car from the day I got it.
It was all quickly pushed under the rug as normal break-in time.
Well, the car is dangerous and should be recalled!
The transmission revs are highway speeds and you lose all ability to … accelerate.
I have had it happen now four times and when I take it to the dealer, they cannot dublicate the issue.
So it am sent on my way again.
Well, not before I give them a laundry list of all the other items that need to be repaired.
Including that crap Ford touch system.
What a joke!
RUN!
Wish I still had my ACURA RSX

2012 Ford Focus Titanium 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6AM)
This car has a real nice interior and the exterior is really good looking but that is it, the car has pits in the roof from the plant where it was manufactured, at 1350 miles the screen for the MY FORD TOUCH went black which means I don't have a radio, navigation, etc., there is also a rattle in the door panel, and the fan for the heat an ac goes up and down in speeds which is really … annoying
all this in a month of ownership and a $28,000 price tag, honestly don't buy this car unless you get a deal of a lifetime. I WISH I HAD MY 2002 ACURA RSX and not this piece of junk.
