Slipping transmission or suspension problem?
I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with my car. I have a 2014 Ford Focus. It has the dual clutch automatic. For the first 9 thousand miles it was fine. The transmission was shuttery and weird but I know that's normal for this car and I can manipulate my foot work to make it ride smooth as a normal automatic transmission. I recently started going to college commuting back and forth and also working in another city and because of that I've increased my weekly mileage of 200 miles to 400 miles weekly. I currently have 10,300 miles in total on the car so I know it's covered under warranty if it's a transmission problem.
Anyway to my actual question the car seems way more jumpy the last week and I often find that going up hills the car shifts out of gear into neutral then pops back into gear. I often loose speed and or roll backward which is kinda scary as my city is pretty hilly. Also in first and second gears the front wheels feel wobbly which makes me think I have a suspension problem or the transmission is slipping. Gears 3-6 are smooth. I can't get into the service department until next week and I have to drive it until then as its my only car. What do you think?
Heading to your dealer's always a great first step, as they can get a hands on diagnosis. Once your appointment's set up, I recommend reaching out to us in one of the following ways.
