“Takata recall I just bought this car in 03-08-19 I notice the car wheels, transmission shakes its like it didn't want to go when you hit the gas. I thought maybe its out of liniment but something is not right. In motion in city and highway, turning. I have not taken to dealer ship I saw that they are some recall on this car. If so what next do I?”
NHTSA complaint #11231623, filed 2019-07, 31,224 miles“Ive had my lug nuts swallon and unable to change my own tire. On three different occasions. Nail in my tire. Took it to the dealership immediately the clamped 2 times that they fixed my lug nuts and never did. Ive spoke to several other Focus owners and have the same issue. The power train clutch has been replaced 4 times in the last three in a half years. Ive had my car stall out in me several times at a stop light. It takes it a minute to slip into reverse. Doesnt matter what gear you are switching it from it will go into netural/park before clicking into reverse.”

The blowout caused a small tear in the tire at the seam where the sidewall joins the tread. We could find no evidence of anything other than a defect in the tire which could have attributed to the blowout.
