2015 FORD FOCUS Power Train Problems

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS A HORRIBLE CLUTCH SHUDDER AND SLIPS WHEN YOU TRY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD ABOUT THIS AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SLIPPAGE. THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS A SHUDDER PROBLEM, BUT REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE. THE TITLE IS BRANDED DUE TO AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THE REAR PASSENGER CORNER AND IT BEING A CHEAP CAR. THE ACCIDENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH THEY DESIGNED AND NEW THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN. THIS SHUDDER/SLIPPING PROBLEM HAS ABOUT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE TIMES NOW AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS ACT LIKE THIS. IT WILL DO GREAT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN WHEN YOU NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY IT WILL REAR ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN. IT IS...

VEHICLE SPUTTERS AFTER TAKE OFF FROM STOPS SUCH AS TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. PULLING OUT OF PLACES INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE CUTS OFF SOMETIMES AFTER PULLING OUT FROM LOCATIONS. THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING WORSE AND WORSE. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CUT IF AND I'M GOING TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY NOW. WHENEVER I'M DRIVING AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR IF I'M PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP IN 2015. THEY DIDNT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS MY CAR MIGHT HAVE. IT WAS THE PERFECT CAR. I DROVE 6 HOURS TO GET THIS CAR. ON MY WAY HOME I NOTICE THE SHUDDER AND VIBRATION. NEVER HAVE I FELT THIS BEFORE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RESET THE PERIMETERS AND TOLD US TO DRIVE IT HARD THAT THESE CARS NEEDED TO ADJUST TO THE WAY WE WERE DRIVING IT. IT WAS STILL UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. FAST FORWARD TO OUR TRIP TO COLORADO/VEGAS. TRACTION CONTROL WAS NEEDED YET IT SMELT LIKE WIRE BURNING. TURNED IT OFF. WE WENT TO THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN FOR PICS AND THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN BACK UP THE HILL. ALL IT WOULD DO WAS GO FORWARD.. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLUTCH AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. IT WAS ONLY...

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HESITATES DURING TAKE-OFF WITH A KNOWN DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THIS HESITATION CAUSES THE CAR TO JOLT BACK AND FORTH WITH A POSSIBLE CAUSE TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU DURING SLOW TRAFFIC. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS EXPLAINED THIS AS AN ANNOYANCE INSTEAD OF A SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT, BUT I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH A REBUILT TITLE AND FORD WILL NOT HONOR OR COVER THE CLUTCH UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $2000 ON A KNOWN PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE REBUILT TITLE. NOW A DAYS IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH FOR AN INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOTAL A CAR WITH A SMALL FENDER BENDER. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD COVER THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY OF THE CAR WITH EITHER A CLEAN TITLE OR SALVAGED TITLE.

OVER THE PAST YEAR MY FORD FOCUS 2015 HAS BEGUN SUFFERING A TERRIBLE "SHUDDERING" WHEN GOING FROM STOP TO MOVING (SPECIFICALLY THE FIRST SHIFT RANGE OF 15-20MPH), AND ESP. WHEN GOING FROM STOP TO MOVING ON A TURN (STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THEN TURNING FOR EXAMPLE) , PUSHING MORE GAS DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED BEFORE BUT THE ISSUE JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE, AND IT REALLY SUCKS.

RECENTLY HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED FOR 7TH TIME, CAR STILL SHUDDERING, HESITATING WITH LACK OF POWER WHETHER AT A STANDSTILL OR ON THE MOVE.

CAR WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE LEAVING YOU TO PRESS THE GAS HARDER THAN NEEDED AT TIMES AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SOMETIMES CAR WONT SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET MY CAR WILL REV UP TO 7,000 RPM AND STAY THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING AND IM TOLD ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH FOR FORD TO COVER IT UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT DOESNT MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR A REPAIR. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CLUTCH AS WELL AS TCM. A TOTAL OF 3 TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AND NOW IM PASSED MY WARRANTY SO THEY WONT COVER THE DIAGNOSIS. IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH OR THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT ALL. AND MY VIDEOS ARENT PROOF ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN SEE MY CRUISE IS SET AND MY SPEED DOESNT CHANGE...

CAR SHAKES BADLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE. CAR CAN STALL AND COME TO A STOP WHEN TRAVELING LESS THAN 40 MPH. THE FIRST ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW AND THE STALLING BEGAN HAPPENIN JUST IN THE LAST WEEK.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP MY CAR SPUTTERS/ STUTTERS AND TRIES TO STALL OUT. IT ALSO HAS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT HAS CAUSED MY STEREO AND OTHER FUNCTIONS TO NO LONGER WORK

A BOUGHT A USED FORD CAR FROM TOYOTA, THE CAR UNKNOWINGLY HAD A RECALL ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SEEN 10 TIMES, UNDER WARRANTY, THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH HAS GONE OUT, FORD AND TOYOTA HAVE REFUSED TO BY BACK THE CAR. CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 31 DAYS AS OF NOW. AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RENTAL, FORD WILL NOT OPEN THE RECALL BACK OPEN. HENDRICKS WON'T LOOK AT THE CAR THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO FORD. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT EXELORATE PASS 40-55 MILES PER HOUR. THE RADIO, BLUETOOTH PORTS STOPPED WORKING. THE AUTO START AND STOP STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD COMPANY MORE THAN 10 TIMES WITH 6 CASE NUMBERS. THE LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING THE CAR I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COULD SMELL A BURNING ODER, THEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL...

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHEN DRIVING THIS FOCUS, UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION, THIS CAR SHUTTERS BADLY. SEEMS TO SHUTTER MORE ON HOT DAYS, BUT THIS OCCURS ALL YEAR ROUND. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, FOUND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. PLAN ON CALLING DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS SLIPS AND IS GENERALLY SLUGGISH. SOMETIMES READS IN NEUTRAL AND CAR IS IN DRIVE MODE. FORD DEALERSHIPS STATE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND SEALS NEED REPLACED HAVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION FROM DEALERSHIP CONFIRMING THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WILL DO TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AS FORD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.I WAS SHUNNED AND GENERALLY TREATED VERY POORLY BY EVERY F ORD DEALERSHIP I SPOKE WITH AS THEY STATED THEY CANNOT RECOVER THE REPAIR COSTS FROM FORD.

GOT THE CAR AROUND 31K MILES I'VE BEEN DOING UBER SINCE I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO DESPERATELY NEEDS MONEY ALL THE TIME. MY TRANSMISSION JUST WENT ON MY 2015 FORD FOCUS SE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20 MPH AROUND A ROUND ABOUT, WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED. ON THE DASH IT SAID TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING WAIT 5 MINUTES. SO I DID. THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. I HAD A PREVIOUS 2013 MODEL WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TO THINK FORD WOULD OF FIXED THE PROBLEM, THEY CONTINUED TO SELL THESE CARS. KNOWING THEY HAD FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR VIBRATES AND SHAKES A LOTS AND MAKE SOME NOISE.NOT SURE WHAT THIS COULD BE BUT NEED HELP WITH THIS BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENED UPON TURNING TAKE OFF,HIGHWAY, EXHILARATION IN CITY ALSO TOO. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICE THIRD A FRIEND BOUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALL WHEE WE DRIVE. BOUGHT CAR03-08-20 DRIVE OUT OF TOWN IN APRIL FOR WEDDING.

SHUDDER AFTER ACCELERATION

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE UPDATES ( TCM ) WHICH THE DEALERSHIP KEPT SAYING WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IT DID NOT IN MOST CASES MADE IT WORSE. THE DUAL CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIME'S THE THROW OUT BEARING, AND THE SHIFT MOTORS FOR THE FIX TO LAST BETWEEN 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE CLUTCH BEING REPLACED AGAIN. AT THE LAST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP WAS ADVISED THE CLUTCH NEED REPLACED AGAIN BUT WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY NOW BECAUSE THE CLUTCH USED AT LAST REPLACEMENT WAS THE LATEST REVISED EDITION THAT HAD A 10,000 MILE WARRANTY THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND OPEN A CASE UP TO SEE IF FORD WILL WARRANTY THE REPAIR. WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GIVE THEM THE CASE NUMBER ISSUED BY FORD. THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AKINS FORD (220 WEST MAY ST, WINDER, GA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS SERVICED APPROXIMATELY EIGHT SEPARATE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT WILL SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION AND SLIP GEARS. AT LEAST ONCE WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY REQUEST FOR RELIEF IN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS DENIED WITH NO EXPLANATION OR WAY TO APPEAL.

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I BEGAN TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE AWAY FROM THE LIGHT MY CAR SHOOK AGGRESSIVELY AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY OTHER CARS WERE ABLE TO STOP. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN GEAR IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. EVENTUALLY I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT HOME SHAKING EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED. I TOOK IT TO BEAU TOWNSEND FORD. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CLUTCH SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION AND NEEDED FIXED. THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING INTO NEURAL. I PURCHASED MY CAR ONE YEAR PRIOR AND THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THEN THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS RELIABLE AND EFFECTIVE. HE IT WAS A GREAT TRANSMISSION THAT NEVER NEEDED SERVICING DURING THE LIFE OF MY CAR. HE KNOWINGLY LIED TO ME.

THE CAR JUMPS, SHAKES, AND JITTERS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A START. OFTEN TIMES JERKS BADLY AND FEELS AS IF IT WILL NOT WANT TO GO!

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2015 FORD FOCUS WITH NO ACCIDENTS. AFTER 2 YEARS AND 20,000 MILES THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHAKE VIOLENTLY UPON ACCELERATION, WHERE IT WOULD THEN ACCELERATE SLOWER THAN NORMAL AT THAT. I AM GREATLY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS, AND THE ENTIRE PUBLIC AS A LOSS OF CONTROL FROM THIS BEHAVIOR COULD CAUSE MULTIPLE FATALITIES AND GREATLY IMPACT MANY FINANCIALLY DUE TO TRAFFIC CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT, OR EXUBERANT HEALTH AND/OR FUNERAL COSTS. I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FIXED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY (COSTING ME A DAY OF WORK AS FORD DENIED ME A RENTAL EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE WAS UNEQUIVOCALLY THEIR FAULT), BUT I KNOW THE ISSUE WILL COME BACK SOON AS IT HAS FOR MANY OTHERS. UPON WHICH, I WILL HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN AND WILL SELL THE CAR TO AN UNSUSPECTING BUYER WHO MAY BE MORE LIKELY TO...

CAR HESITATES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP, HESITATION WHEN COASTING AND APPLYING THROTTLE, SHUDDERING (SOMETIMES SEVERE) AFTER EACH GEAR SHIFT FROM STOP TO FIRST, FIRST TO SECOND, SECOND TO THIRD. CLUTCH FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING MID-GEAR IN FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE ON FREEWAY AND CAUSED A JAM WHILE I NURSED IT OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY MADE 3 CLUNKS AND THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER, ALMOST DIED OUT.HE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. HE ALMOST GOT HIT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR HAS DONE THIS. THE FIRST TIME, IT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY AND LEFT HIM STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A STALL RISK, BUT THEY CAN NOT REPAIR THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD HEADQUARTERS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THE 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STALL RISK. THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS HAD MY 2015 FORD FOCUS WILL NOT TRY TO REPEAT THE BEHAVIOR THAT CAUSED THE CAR...

NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. STALLING WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR AND LURCHING FORWARD WHEN NOT PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR OFTEN ARE MAIN ISSUES. TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND AND TCM REPLACED PREVIOUSLY UNDER WARRANTY WITHOUT SUCCESSFUL REPAIR. MOST RECENTLY MY VEHICLE AT 83,000 MILES WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW CLUTCH AGAIN AND FORD REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT AFTER THEIR WARRANTY CUTOFF DATE AND I WAS CHARGED ALMOST $2,700 BY FORD DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE CLUTCH (DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED). NOT EVEN 1 WEEK AFTER RECEIVING VEHICLE BACK FROM FORD AFTER REPAIRS VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING SAME ISSUES WHICH USUALLY PROGRESS AS TIME GOES ON. I FELT UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE AFTER SO MANY REPAIRS AND HAVING TO PAY FOR THE MOST RECENT TRANSMISSION SO PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE INSTEAD. I CAN ALSO PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION IF NEEDED FROM ALL THE PREVIOUS REPAIRS BY FORD.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT SHUTTERS, AND SLIPS GEARS. I EXPERIENCE POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING, AND HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED TROUBLE TRYING TO GET IT TO SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (FIRST TIME CAR BUYER) AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, I WAS TOLD THESE ARE NORMAL, AND WOULD NOT BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN, BUT HAVE SINCE BECOME A HUGE CONCERN.

DPS06, SHUDDERING AND BUCKING AT LOW SPEEDS (15-25MPH) AND SLIGHT VIBRATION AT AROUND 55 MPH THAT GOES AWAY WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO 6TH. VARIOUS PROBLEMS SEEM EXADURATED IN THE RAIN EXPLAINED AS "DRIVING WEIRD"

I PAID $2,373.20 FOR REPAIRS TO THE CLUTCHES/TRANSMISSION FOR OUR DAUGHTER'S 2015 FORD FOCUS. ACCORDING TO THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, FORD HAS INSTRUCTED ITS DEALERS TO PAY FOR THESE EXACT REPAIRS, AFTER WE HAD ALREADY PAID FOR OUR REPAIRS. SO, I AM ASKING FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE AMOUNT WE PAID TO REPAIR THE 2015 FORD FOCUS. HTTPS://WWW.FREEP.COM/STORY/MONEY/CARS/FORD/2019/07/18/FORD-FOCUS-DPS-6-TRANSMISSION-FIESTA/1766990001/

WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR BUCKING UPON ACCELERATION, NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY, WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND THEN START AGAIN IT HESITATES. WE ALMOST GOT STRANDED IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL OUT. MY HUSBAND WAS ALSO DRIVING IT SLOW ONE DAY ON A REALLY BUMPY BACK ROAD AND LOST USE OF THE CAR. HE WAS NOT ABLE TO USE DRIVE OR REVERSE. HE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET HOME. ALTHOUGH OUR CAR IS OUT OF IT'S NORMAL WARRANTY, OUR MECHANIC TOLD US THAT FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF ALL THE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS OUR CLUTCH AND RIGHT NOW FORD IS NOT COVERING THE CLUTCHES EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE CAUSING...

AFTER DRIVING LIKE FOR 30 MINUTES IF I MAKE COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I PRESS GAS PADDLE MY CAR STARTS SHAKING AND HARD TO GET PICK UP. IT SHAKES FOR COUPLE OF TIME AND THEN GOES NORMAL. AND WHILE DRIVING ALSO I CAN FEEL THE SAME.

TRANSMISSION WENT INTO TO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WAS FORCED TO DRIFT ONTO THE SHOULDER, SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART. HAPPENED TWICE TODAY.

THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATED AND STARTED TO SHUDDER. PROBLEM WAS THE CLUTCH IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES AND FORD STILL HAS NO FIX FOR THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS ON A SIDE STREET ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ONTO A BUSY NUMBERED ROADWAY. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A COLLISION.

THE CAR IS SLIPPING WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN CAUSING IT TO STALL AND CREATING WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED A 'PART' ON THE TRANSMISSION WHICH EVIDENTLY ISN'T THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM SEEING THAT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THIS CAR BELONGS TO MY DAUGHTER AND SHE IS ENROLLED IN COLLEGE WHICH 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 57,205 MILES ON IT. THE EXTENT OF THIS ISSUE, THE FACT THAT IT COULD RESULT IN AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT OR LEAVE HER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OR MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE LEAVES ME VERY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY. I WOULD FEEL BETTER AS A PARENT KNOWING THAT MY CHILD WAS IN...

I PICKED UP MY CAR LAST WEEK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HAVING THE CLUTCH REPLACED. WHEN I LEFT WORK ON MONDAY 7/15, MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. IT WAS OVER 5,000 RPMS...I HAD TO GO ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL MY CAR OVER AND WAS HONKED AT SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ALSO REAR ENDED IN DEC 13, 2016 WHILE ACCELERATING BUT MY CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL.

FORD'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS CONSTANTLY SHUDDERED WHEN STARTING AND SHIFTS IN A JERKING, HESITATING MANNER. FORD REPLACED THE CLUTCH PLATES WHICH PROVIDED MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT. FORD HAS SAID THE WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

CLUTCH REPLACED TWICE THEN CAR QUIT (WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN GAS WAS PUSHED) IN AN INTERSECTION.

CAR JERKS AND SHUTTERS PULLING OUT OR AT A RED LIGHT. IN THE MOUNTAINS IT WOULDN'T EVEN PULL UP A BIG HILL TO THE CABIN. I'D HAVE TO GET A HEAD START AND COULDN'T JUST DRIVE NORMAL, IT WOULD JUST JERK! THIS IS DISTURBING SINCE I WAS ON THE SIDE OF A GIANT HILL! STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. WORKS ON YOUR NERVES! FORD SHOULD BUY BACK THIS CAR! I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE THE FIRST YEAR I GOT THE CAR. EVEN TO THE TENNESSEE LEMON LAW!! THIS HAS SOURED ME ON A FORD VEHICLE! IT'S JUNK!

VEHICLES LURCHES AND SHIMMIES WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OF , IN TOWN TRAFFIC , IT WON'T HARDLY PULL ITSELF , SHIMMIES VERY HARD AND MAKE GRINDING NOISES, LURCHES SO HARD I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO LURCH IN FROM OF OTHER MOVING TRAFFIC OR LURCH INTO SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME

TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT NEW, TRANS PROBLEMS ( SHUTTERING ) THEY FIXED IT , A YEAR AND A HALF LATER IT IS SHUTTERING AGAIN. I ALSO HAD A 2014 FOCUS ,DID THE SAME THING. FORD KNEW ABOUT THIS BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR IS A PROTOTYPE MECHANIC IN DEARBORN, AND HE SAID THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED FORDS, NEVER AGAIN, IN FACT I BOUGHT A TOYOTA, AND WHEN I GET RID OF THIS POS, I WILL BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY FORD OWNED USED FOCUS I NOTICED A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH NEEDED REPALCED UNDER WARRANTY BUT PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE I WAITED 6 WEEKS FOR PARTS. THE REPAIRS TOOK ABOUT A WEEK. AFTER ABOUT 3 THOUSAND MILES WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST POWER. I DISCOVERED IT WOULD ONLY GO IN 1ST OR SECOND GEAR USING MANUAL SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTALLY GET TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD CLUTCH NEEDED REPLACING. ANOTHER THREE WEEK WAIT ON PARTS. IMMEDIATLY AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK I NOTICED THE SHUDDER WAS BACK. I RETURNED TO MY LOCAL DELER WHERE I WAS TOLD ANOTHER PART IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. IT WAS REPLACED. I DROVE THE CAR ANOTHER 15,000 MILES WHEN THE SHUDDER CAME BACK. AGAIN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE I...

THIS VEHICLE STUTTERS UPON ACCELERATION. IT'S FEELS LIKE IT'S BUCKING AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP AND THE PUTTING THE FOOT ON THE GAS IN DRIVE.

FIRST, FROM A FULL STOPPED OR STATIONARY POSITION THEN ACCELERATING OR IN MOTION THE CAR STARTED TO PUTTING OR SLIPPING WITH THIS AUTO TRANSMISSION GEAR OR WAS HAVING A ISSUE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHILE DRIVING OR HESITATING BADLY, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED BY AUTO ZONE AND A PERSONAL MECHANIC AND THE HAND HELD DEVICE SHOWED EACH TIME "NO DATA FOUND" HMMM, SECOND, WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND PLACING THE CAR IN PARK, I THEN HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN THE REVERSE POSITION! BUT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF IN THE PARK POSITION AND LETTING IT SET FOR 5-10 MINS, THE CAR STARTED AND I PLACED IT IN THE REVERSE POSITION AND IT WORKED HMMM. AND THESE TWO ISSUES HAS HAPPENED TO MANY TIMES (6) FOR...

2015 FORD FOCUS HAS SEVERE SHUDDERING AND HARD SHIFTING AFTER STOPPING. WHEN FIRST MOVING FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND SHIFTS HARD. FORD TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA

WHEN PUTTING AUTO TRANS. FROM PARK TO DRIVE, TRANS. DID NOT ENGAGE, PUT IT IN REV. WITH SAME RESULTS, HAD TO PUT BACK IN PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE FOR TRANS. TO ENGAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 4 SEPARATE TIMES.

THE CAR SHUDDERED AND JERKED WHEN STOPPED AND ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. A METAL GRINDING CAN BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DURING THIS JERKING FROM ACCELERATION. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. ONE TIME, THE CAR STALLED, RESULTING IN LOSE OF POWER, WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR MANY TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION OF THESE SYMPTOMS.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING STOPPED ACCELERATING AND REDUCED TO 40 MPH IN SECONDS AS IF SOMEONE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS SAME CAR HAS THE AIR CONDITIONING THAT WENT OUT. I AM TOLD ITS THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. THE REAR CAMERA IS BROKEN AS WELL FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON. THAT WENT OUT IN THE FIRST YEAR. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THE CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE.

TAKATA RECALL I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 03-08-19 I NOTICE THE CAR WHEELS, TRANSMISSION SHAKES ITS LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. I THOUGHT MAYBE ITS OUT OF LINIMENT BUT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. IN MOTION IN CITY AND HIGHWAY, TURNING. I HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER SHIP I SAW THAT THEY ARE SOME RECALL ON THIS CAR. IF SO WHAT NEXT DO I?

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD IT'S CLUTCH COMPLETELY REPLACED 2 TIMES SO FAR. OVER THE YEARS THE CAR HAS FREQUENTLY JERKED FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A BRAKING POSITION, OFTEN TIMES MISSES GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING AND IS ALREADY IN MOTION, AND THE ENTIRE CAR NOTICEABLY SHUDDERS WHILE WAITING AT STOP LIGHTS. THE DEALER TOLD ME FOR YEARS THAT THESE WERE ALL NORMAL CAR OCCURRENCES AND I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE HARDER TO BREAK IN THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, ONE REP RELENTED AND EXPLAINED IT WAS A FAULTY DESIGN WITH NO SOLUTION AND THAT I'D NEED TO COME BACK IN AND HAVE THE CLUTCH REPLACED EVERY 10K MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOW THAT TIME AGAIN AS ALL OF THE SIGNS HAVE MANIFESTED ONCE AGAIN. SADLY, I HAVEN'T EVEN HIT 30K MILES AND A FOURTH CLUTCH IS ALREADY NEEDED.
