My car I believe is transmission problem I just paid Ford to fix my car for $784.00 do to the care just completely stopped while driving and it shut down while driving and wouldn't restart. I have the receipt showing what the problem was suppose to be. Now 3 weeks later while driving the car I noticed it loses speed while driving and sound as if it want to cut off. I have a code popping up as PO3A7. I don't understand when my car was diagnosis this didn't pick up I'm thinking ford have know of the different problems with the engine or transmission and its began to be at the expense of the customers.

We purchased this 2015 Ford Focus SE in July 2020 and took it to Pocaro Ford in Racine, WI to have the transmission checked out and flushed. The car had 70K on it and the transmission was jerking and laggy. They said it was fine and did not need to be fixed. Fast forward two and half years and 20K more and now the transmission clutches need to be replaced with 90K on the transmission. The extended warranty because of the class action suit went for 100K or 7 years. The cars warranty ran out in August 2022 even though we asked to have it repaired in 2020 and were told that it was not an issue and was normal. When we were in parameters for the warranty service, they told us it did not need it even though the transmission jerked and lagged causing issues. Now that we have to pay for it, they say it is a problem. I called FORD customers service and they say there is nothing they can do. FORD is ripping people off and creating a dangerous situation. The car belongs to my 21 year old daughter and I had no idea it was as bad as it was until I moved it a few weeks ago and told her that she should have told me it was that bad. She just thought it was how the car was supposed to drive. FORD won't help with the issue and just states we now have to pay between $2500 and $3000 to get it fixed. The car is available upon inspection and we have the paperwork showing we had the transmission serviced in 2020 becuase we thought it was jerky and a problem.

My issue is part of the Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 19N08. The Transmission Control Module is defective and I have been waiting for over a year for a replacement part. The part has been on backorder for several years. I have been warned not to drive more than an hour away from my home. Daily, when I or my handicapped wife start driving from a standing stop the transmission judders and shakes the car when going from 10 to 20 MPH. No one can tell me when the part will be available. I am worried about getting into a serious accident if the part suffers further deterioration. I want to take a road trip to visit our grandchildren who live several to many hours away and am prevented from doing so because of the transmission issue.

I found the ac compressor clutch hub plate in my driveway detached from my vehicle somehow...
