When pressing on the gas vehicle hesitates before jerking forward. When placing the vehicle from park to reverse, vehicle will not engage/move in reverse. Constant problems with vehicle while trying to begin driving or while trying to operate basic functions on a daily basis. This needs to be added to the extended warranty/recall for the transmission.

The capless gas tank is trapping air, causing the car to "burp" and sometimes turning engine off even when driving. This has happened numerous times in the last 8 months. But more frequently lately. I was driving down the interstate and my engine cut off from it. Went to get it checked out and the service centers keep giving me the same response everywhere.

I purchased a 2014 ford focus used with 86k miles, upon taking delivery of the vehicle we noticed while driving the vehicle when starting from a complete stop the car jerks and bucks.
