2013 FORD FOCUS Power Train Problems

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, JERKS AND FEELS LIKE ITS SLIPPING AND I'M GETTING A TRANSMISSION FAULT ERROR ON MY DASH, WON'T SHIFT TO NEXT GEAR UNLESS ITS ABOVE 3500RPM. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED MAY 4 2020, IT STARTED ACTING UP WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE VEHICLE.

I REPORTED THIS ISSUE WHEN I HAD MY FOCUS IN 2014....IT WAS DISMISSED. NOW, 4 TIMES IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP AND 4 TIMES IT WASN'T FIXED, 4 TIMES I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS EACH TIME, COSTING ME A TOTAL OF $2,755 IN ALL FOR NOTHING TO BE RESOLVED. I TRADED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS LITERALLY A SAFETY HAZZARD BUT NO ONE WOULD DESIGNATE IT THAT AT THE TIME.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE STUTTER MY TRANSMISSION IS HAVING WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP SIGN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2014 AND HIGHER. MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2013 FORD FOCUS.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO EVEN SLIGHTLY INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION SPUTTERS AND SHAKES AND CONTINUES UNTIL I'M NOT IN ANY UPCLINE AT ALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR MANY TIMES TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S NOTHING OR IT'S BECAUSE YOUR VEHICLE IS A FLEX SO THE CAR THINKS IT'S IN MANUAL. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. JUST DRIVE IT AND ITLL BE FINE. WELL 6YEARS HAVE PAST AND IT JUST GETS WORSE EACH TIME. I'VE PARTED THE CAR AND DRIVE IT OCCASIONALLY BECAUSE WHEN IT JERKS AND DOESNT GO INTO GEAR OR ACCELERATION IS NONE EXISTANT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE HITS ME FROM BEHIND ON THE HYW. BUT AGAIN FORD HAS NOT HONORED MY 100000 WARRANTY WHEN MY CATILATIC CONVERTER WENT OUT WHEN I ONLY HAD 80000 MILES ON IT. FOUND OUT A YEAR LATER THAT IT WAS COVERED. FORD IS HORRIBLE ON CORRECTING ISSUES...

MY CAR KEEPS FLASHING THE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS. I CAN'T GET IT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT ONLY FLICKERS ON FOR A SECOND BEFORE TURNING OFF. IT'S THE ABS LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE INFORMATION LIGHT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. IT WILL ALSO RESTART THE RADIO. ONCE I GET TO MY DESTINATION, MY WHOLE CAR WILL TURN OFF AS IF MY BATTERY DIED. I'VE TAKEN MY BATTERY TO BE TESTED AND IT'S FINE. WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR, IT WON'T TURN ON BUT IT WILL MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO RESTART A CONNECTION. WHEN MY CAR FINALLY TURNED ON, IT SAID I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE, I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN I DRIVE IT BUT I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY IT OFF IN ORDER...

WHILE DRIVING AFTER GET MY FORD FOCUS AFTER HAVING A OIL CHANGE IT STARTED TO STALL OUT VERY HOSTING TO DRIVE AT ANY SPEED. TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON TELLING ME TO SERVICE IT. I PULLED OVER BACK TO PRIORITY FORD DEALERSHIP.THE TECH CAME OUT AND TELLS ME THAT MY FORD FOCUS WAS ON A RECALL FOR MY TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER 3BLOCKS AWAY,WITH THE CAR IN THAT HORRIBLE WAY DRIVING.

THE CAR SHUTTERS WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I TAKE OFF THE WHOLE CAR SHUTTERS. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS CAR MODLE AND TO REPORT IT. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOT A FIX FOR IT.

THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS. THERE WAS A DELAY WITH EXCELERATION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND THE CAR WOULD NOT EXCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT CHANGING GEARS. I HAD TO COAST DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE IT TO SOMEWHERE I COULD PULL OVER. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR AND WOULD NOT DRIVE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE CLUTCH THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

MY FORD FOCUS 2013, HAS BEEN FIXED TWO TIMES AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING. I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WEREN'T VERY HELPFUL AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO REACH THEM. THE CAR SHUTTERS UPON ACCELERATING. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS STATED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS HAS BEEN A LAWSUIT BEFORE AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE WARRANTY THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY WHEN FIXING THE FORD SHOULD APPLY THIS TIME AS WELL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN A FORD DEALERSHIP WAITING TO GET FIXED, BUT I DO NEED THE CLEAR THAT WARRANTY WILL COVER IT SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON MY CAR AND NOT BE WORRIED IF IT WILL START.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT CAUSES A STUTTERING MOVEMENT FROM A STOP. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT STARTS TO SHAKE UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I FEEL THAT I AND MY CHILDREN ARE UNSAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS!!!

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET MY CAR JERKS AND THEN GETS QUIET, WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES TO GREEN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS, I TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND AFTER ABOUT 3 MINS THE CAR FINALLY MOVES BUT WHILE DRIVING ONCE AGAIN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED AND IT DOES NOT WORK, I DECIDE TO TURN AROUND IN A SMALL PARKING LOT AND TAKE IT HOME AND WHILE DOING THAT THE CAR DOESN'T REVERSE, I GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT JERKS AND JUMPS TO THE POINT WHERE I JUST HAD TO PARK IT AND CALL A RIDE. THE WEEK PRIOR A MECHANIC TOLD ME I JUST NEEDED COOLANT AFTER THE CAR JERKED AND STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS GOING 70MPH, AND NOW EVERY...

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ALSO FAILED TO DETERMINE MY CAR TO QUALIFT FOR A CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT FALLING UNDER THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 14M01 - SUPPLEMENT #7 AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 15B22- SUPPLEMENT #3. I HAVE EMAILED DAVID J. JOHNSON ON SUNDAY FEBRUARY 2, ,2020 AND RECEIVED A CALL FROM MR. JOHNSON EXECUTIVE OFFICE ON FEBRUARY 5, 2020 AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVED ANYTHING.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS, SHAKES AND JERKS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME, NO MATTER WHETHER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IDLE FOR NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME AND EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER 2013 AND HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE.

FORD HAS SOLD A CAR TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF FAILURES WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHERE IT WILL SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE, CAUSING UNDUE DANGER MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. THIS CAR SHOULD BE FULLY RECALLED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE FAILURE BY THE NHTSA TO DO SO EVEN YEARS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN WITH THE DPS6 TRANSMISSION IS A ABSURD LACK OF SAFETY OVERSIGHT. MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER DUE TO THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THIS IS FAR FROM THE FIRST INSTANCE. THEY COULD HAVE EASILY DIED FROM THIS AND OTHER OCCASIONS. MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS HAPPENING. EVERY DAY YOU DO NOT DO A FULL RECALL, YOU RISK MORE LIVES BEING IN DANGER.

MY TRANSMISSION,JERKS AND STOP WHEN DRIVING,DOESNT GO UP HILLS VERY GOOD.WHEN TAKING OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHTS,IT DOESN'T WANT TO PULL OFF,IT KINDA STALL.

I HAVE OWN A 2013 FORD FOCUS AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT SEAMS THE CAR REVS UP BUT DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT I MIGHT GET REAR-ENDED WHEN I'M SWITCHING LANES ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR ALSO SWITCHES GEARS A LITTLE ROUGH. SOMETHING DEFINITELY FEELS OFF ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION.

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PAY $6000.00 TO GET IT FIXED! YET AGAIN ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS 2013 FORD FOCUS! I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!

VERY HARD SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS WHEN FIRST STARTING TO DRIVE. AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR A TIME. THERE IS A SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE HARD SHUDDERING MAKES IT SEEM LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL.

VEHICLE HAS KNOWN ISSUES THRU FORD. JUST HAD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REPLACED WAS DRIVING CAR MONDAY IT STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN CAR IT LURCHED SHUDDERS. AT FORD DEALER SAID IT IS SOME SORT OF TRANSMISSION FORK 1900.00 TO FIX VEHICLE HAS RECALLS BUT FORD WON'T HONOR THE TRANSMISSION BY CERTAIN DEALERS

AT 9:30PM ON MAY 12TH 2016 I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 THROUGH DOWNTOWN SEATTLE GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL DROPPED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I HAD TO CHANGE ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STEADILY LOSING POWER TO EXIT AT MERCER ST. FROM THERE I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON WESTLAKE AVE WHERE A TOW TRUCK PICKED ME UP. FOLLOWING THAT EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION REPACKED 5 TIMES!!! EACH TIME WHEN THE CLUTCH IS STARTING TO FAIL, IT SHUDDERS, SHAKES AND LOSES POWER. I AM AFRAID OF IT LOSING POWER IN A INTERSECTION AND BEING T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE (THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS). FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS, HOWEVER THEY HAVE...

DPS6 CLUTCH WAS REPAIRED/REPLACED AT 85,000 MILES DUE TO SEVERE SHUDDERING AND DANGEROUS DRIVING PERFORMANCE. SEVERE SHUDDERING RETURNED AT 98,000 MILES AND WAS NOT SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE UNTIL AFTER 100,000 MILES - FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND DEALER NOW REFUSES TO REPAIR THE DANGEROUS AND FAULTY DPS6 CLUTCH ASSEMBLY ON MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY, OCCASIONALLY LOSING POWER OR ACCELERATING SUDDENLY. HAS ALSO LED TO ENGINE STALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC. FORD REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING ,ROWS BACKWARDS ON A INCLINE,TRY TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC WILL NOT MOVE FAST ENOUGH VERY DANGERS ,CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID IT WOULD BE COVERED ONCE I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTIC THEN WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME $1600 TO FIX ,DID NOT HAVE IT FIX SETTING AT HOME IN GARAGE

THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN IT STARTS. SEAMS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S VERY TROUBLESOME IN THE SIGNAL LIGHT IN THE HIGHWAY.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP REPEATEDLY EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2012 CAR NOT ACCELERATING WHEN IT SHOULD. IT HESITATES AND SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY WHEN TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I MUST HAVE A NEW CLUTCH SYSTEM PUT IN A TRANSMISSION AT MY EXPENSE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COOL IT WILL SHIFT GOOD BUT AS IT IS DRIVEN MORE, THE WORSE IT GETS AT SHIFTING.

VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. RPM'S ROSE BUT CAR WOULDN'T GO. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WITH CROSS TRAFFIC! THIS COULD GET SOMEONE KILLED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 78,000 MILES AND HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST ONE OTHER TIME AT AROUND 53,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED THEN. HERE WE ARE 25,000 MILES LATER AND IT'S OUT AGAIN!

WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE MY CAR LEAPED FORWARD AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT ME FROM REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CAR THEN STARTLING STUTTERING FROM THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LOST POWER, AND THE CLUTCH SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING.

PURCHASED CAR NEW AND FROM DAY ONE IT WAS EVIDENT THERE WE'RE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HAD BACK TO THE DEAL SEVERAL TIMES THE SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT DID NOT HELP, MAYBE EVEN MADE IT WORSE? WHEN DRIVING OR PULLING OUT THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND SHUTTER VERY BAD. THIS WAS A CONSTANT ISSUE FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF OF THE SALES LOT.

MY 2013 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS DURING TAKE OFF AND SLIPS GEARS EVERY SO OFTEN, USUALLY WHEN LAUNCHING FROM A FULL STOP OR WHEN DRIVING IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS.

THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS WITH NO FIX IN PLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEBB FORD (219-924-3400, LOCATED AT 9809 INDIANAPOLIS BLVD, HIGHLAND, IN 46322), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

A WEEK LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS WAITING TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I'VE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - IT WAS STUCK IN THE GARAGE AT THIS TIME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO REVERSE AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF A FEW HOURS LATER. YESTERDAY THE CAR, AGAIN, WOULD NOT REVERSE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS TIME IT WAS STUCK IN A PARKING LOT. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS, SOME OF WHICH LEAD TO THE CAR NOT STARTING AT ALL, THE CAR FINALLY TURNED ON, AND REVERSED AFTER ROUGHLY HALF AN HOUR. THIS MORNING I TOOK THE CAR TO WEBB FORD IN HIGHLAND, IN FOR REPAIRS AS THE TRANSMISSION HAS A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE BACKED UP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND WOULD NOT EVEN LET ME LEAVE MY CAR. THE NEST CLOSEST DEALER IN CALUMET...

COUNTRY FORD STATED THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. I CALLED THEM THE SAME DAY THAT THE ISSUE WAS STILL ON GOING. THEY STATED THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RESET OF THE COMPUTER. I'M VERY CONCERN THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIX BECAUSE THE NEEDED PART WASN'T AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. THE CAR STILL STALLS WHEN IT'S AT HALF A TANK AND COMPLETELY STALLS WHEN IT'S AT A QUARTER TANK. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAYS OR IN A BUSY CITY. I AM CONCERN WITH WITH MY HEALTH AND LIFE IT SUDDENLY SHOTS OFF ON A BUSY ROAD.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT STUDDERS AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY PROBLEM WAS ENTERED.

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT. IT HAS CLUTCH ISSUES THAT LEAVES ME STALLED STUCK IN GEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT HAS LEFT ME STUCK IN MY GARAGE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE FOR DAYS AT A TIME.

THE CARS TRANSMISSION WILL SHUDDER AND HESITATE FROM A STOPPED CONDITION. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED 2 TIMES AND ABOUT TO TAKE IT IN FOR A 3RD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION
