Have had problems in the past with this Focus. This time it slipped out of gear on the highway on-ramp. Engine light came on, RPMs spiked every time I grazed the accelerator. Shop said it would cost $600 to flush transmission with additive put in new plugs and wires to "maybe fix it." I think I'll start to search for a new car.
