2017 FORD FOCUS Power Train Problems

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED AND THE CODE WAS P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM WAS THE CODE SHOW UP. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND WHAT DO I DO?? THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WOULD ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE 15-20 TIMES AND THEN ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO REV FOR 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD EXCESSIVE VACUUM PRESSURE. THE FUEL TANK NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V845000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. JOE COTTON FORD, INC. (5 W. NORTH AVE, CAROL STREAM, IL 60188, (630) 682-9200) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE...

MY FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK IS A AUTOMATIC AND CAN SHIFT INTO SUPER AUTO/MANUAL ARE AVAILABLE. MY VEHICLE STAGGERS, SHUTTERS, AND SHAKES ONCE IN DRIVE MODE. MY VEHICLE ALSO ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN ON A INCLINE IF I DO NOT PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL, AND IF I DO NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL OR TOUCH THE BREAKS IT WILL LOSE MOMENTUM AND BEGIN TO ROLL BACKWARDS IF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICAL IS INCLINED. THIS ISSUE IS NOT SOLELY THE MANUAL MODELS MY 2017 FORD FOCUS FWD AUTOMATIC SHUTTERS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL LEVELS WERE GOOD THERE. MY ELECTRONIC 'ANTICIPATION' SCORE IN MY CARS ECO FAQS DASHBOARD IS 5/5. 5/5 IS THE BEST YOUR SCORE CAN BE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR NOT JUST 2014-2016 BUT 2017 AUTOMATICS AND MANUALS BOTH! IF YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE YOUR VEHICLE WITHOUT TRANSMISSION STAGGERING, SHUTTERING, SHAKING AND RELATED ISSUES...

2017 FORD FOCUS S, SHUDDERS/SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP. THE CAR ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE CAR IS PARKED AND I REFUSE TO MOVE IT UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR ISSUE EVERYONE WHO OWNS THIS VEHICLE A FULL REFUND OR A DIFFERENT MODEL! THIS IS NOT SAFE AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO ANYONE DRIVING IT, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY OR BELTWAY AT A GREAT AMOUNT OF SPEED AND THE CAR REFUSES TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT SHUDDERING OR SHAKING.

2017 FORD FOCUS - TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND HESITATES IN LOW GEARS UPON ACCELERATION. STARTED AT LESS THAN 20K MILES.

ENGINE TIMING CHAIN COVER IS SEEPING OIL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 130,600 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PER THE FORD MAINTENANCE MANUAL AND HAS NEVER MISSED A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE EVENT.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM FULLY STOPPED, SUCH AS WHEN DEPARTING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT ALSO SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED, SUCH AS COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWLY TURNING ONTO A STREET. THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES AS IT TRIES TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM. I HAVE READ DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF IDENTICAL ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER 2017 FORD FOCUS OWNERS. SOMETHING IS INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE POWERTRAIN SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE FLEET AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED MY FORD FOCUS MAY 2017 AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 12 MILES ON IT. IN TWO YEARS, I BEGAN TO FEEL A SHUDDER WHENEVER I STARTED TO DRIVE FROM A STOP. THE SHUDDER WAS ON AND OFF FOR A MONTH AND INCREASINGLY GOT WORSE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO FORD, JULY 2019. THEY STATED THAT MY CLUTCH WENT BAD AND I NEEDED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I WAS SURPRISED IT WAS ALREADY HAVING SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH FORD FOCUS'S. A YEAR IN A HALF LATER, I BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND SYMPTOMS AGAIN. I CALLED FORD TO NOTIFY THEM IN DECEMBER 2020, HE STATED IT MAY BE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I...

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND WITHIN A WEEK IT BEGAN SHUDDERING, STUDDERING, JERKING DURING ACCELERATION. FOR A WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME GETTING USED TO THE CAR AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ODDLY. OVER THE YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS BECAME WORSE AND APPROXIMATELY 12-15 MONTHS AGO I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. I HAD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WAY MY CAR WAS DRIVING NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THEY ALLOWED ME TO BRING IT IN. I CANNOT REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION OR IF THE "REPAIR" WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EITHER WAY, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO AVOID ME- SO MUCH THAT I PASSED THE MAXIMUM MILES COVERED IN THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BEFORE I WAS ALLOWED TO BRING IT IN BUT THEY DID STILL HONOR IT, CONSIDERING MY COMPLAINT WAS WELL BEFORE THE THRESHOLD WAS SURPASSED. WHEN...

2017 FORD FOCUS SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHEN HOT. WHEN COLD, NO ISSUES. AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY, WE STOPPED FOR A QUICK BREAK AND STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN. THIS TIME, I NOTICED A VERY HARSH SHUDDER AND SHAKE AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. NO INDICATORS ON THE DASH, NORMAL PRESSURE AND TEMP LEVELS, OIL LEVEL PERFECT.

MY 2017 FORD FOCUS FOR A WHILE NOW HAS HAD MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING STUTTERING, SHUDDERING, AND EVEN ROLLING BACKWARDS WHILE ON A HILL IN DRIVE. I HAVE HAD MY FORD FOCUS FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE UPDATED IT ON ALL OF ITS RECALLS. BUT, NOT TO LONG AFTER I GOT IT, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHOWING PROBLEMS AS THE ONES I LISTED EARLIER. IT BEGAN FIRST WITH THE STUTTERING AND THEN PHYSICALLY BECAME NOTICEABLE WHEN I ROLLED BACK ON A HILL. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS AND A LAWSUITS AGAINST FORD FOR THE PREVIOUS MODELS, PRIMARILY BETWEEN 2012-2016. BUT, I THINK THE 2017 HAS THE SAME ISSUES BUT NO RECALLS ON IT YET. I'M HOPING THAT BY FILING A REPORT, SOMETHING WILL COME OFF IT BECAUSE IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM. DEALERSHIPS ARE REAPING EVEN MORE BECAUSE AS SOON AS I HAD MY PROBLEMS, I IMMEDIATELY WENT...

CAR SHUDDERS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH TWICE. THE OTHER TIMES THEY VERIFY THE SHUTTER BUT SAID ITS WITH IN NORMAL SPEC. THEY SAID FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

WHEN ACCELERATING "NORMALLY" THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP BETWEEN 1ST AND SECOND GEARS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING START LIKE ON A FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL REV AND THEN SHIFT AND/OR SLIP CAUSING TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS RANDOMLY FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR THEN STARTS TO SHUDDER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, THE DRIVER LED OFF HER FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND NEARLY GOT HIT BY OTHER UPCOMING VEHICLES WITH HER CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHAPMAN FORD, 1255 COLUMBUS AVE, MARYSVILLE, OH 43040, AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CALLED FORD MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RANGE WAS NOT WITHIN THE PARAMETER FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND REMAINED AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JANUARY 9TH 2021. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS THE HEAD GASKET RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ALREADY. I COULDN'T HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT AS I WAS 3 HOURS EACH WAY FROM HOME AND HAD TO MEET THE DEALER AT 9 PM. I DROVE THE CAR AND ALL SEEMED GOOD. ON THE 3 HR DRIVE HOME I NOTICED OIL PRESSURE WAY GOING BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE THE POWER IT DID 1 HR BEFORE, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST IN MY HEAD. SO MONDAY I PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT AT WORK AND SEEN THEIR WAS OIL COMING FROM THE HEADGASKET AREA AGAIN. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK FROM WHEN IT WAS DONE AT A DEALER BUT IT ALSO IS KNOWN THAT THE EARLY RECALLS THAT WERE DONE DID NOT USE THE CORRECT GASKET EVEN FOR THE RECALL. I AM ASKING...

I BOUGHT MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE WITH 8 MILES ON IT WHEN IT GOT ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON IT MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHUTTER. BROUGHT IT TO 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS TO BE TOLD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ABOUT 20,000 MILES I NOTICE THE SHUTTER BECOMING WORST AND WORST TO BE TOLD ONCE AGAIN NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW MY CAR IS AT 50,000 AND ANYTIME IT'S UNDER THE HALF WAY MARK WITH GAS THE SHUTTER BECOME MORE INTENSE. STILL FORD WANTS TO TELL ME THERE IS NO PROBLEMS

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE CLUTCH SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING. THIS INCLUDES SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AS WELL AS SLIPPING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER. THE SHIFTS, ESPECIALLY 1ST TO SECOND ARE VERY VIOLENT AND ROUGH. WHILE SHIFTING THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AGGRESSIVELY WHILE ALSO BEING PAIRED WITH A SHUDDERING AND GRINDING NOISE. FORD WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM AT 49,195 MILES ON NOVEMBER 19TH 2019. FORD TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE MY COMPLAINT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT "THIS IS HOW THIS CAR DRIVES". I BELIEVE I WAS TOLD THIS AS A DETERRENT FROM MAKING FUTURE COMPLAINTS. TWO THOUSAND MILES LATER I WENT BACK TO FORD AFTER MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING IN REVERSE. FORD CHOSE TO RELEARN THE CLUTCH HOWEVER THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF AS WELL AS THE CLUTCH, NO...

WENT TO JUMPSTART DAUGHTER'S CAR, JUMP STARTED CAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BEFORE CAR WAS JUMP STARTED. SCANN ED CAR AND FOUND TRANSMISSION CODE P2837. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 69,000 MI ON IT AND IT'S 3 YEARS OLD. GETTING A HOLD OF A LEMON LAWYER IN REGARDS TO GETTING SOME COMPENSATION FOR THESE FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

THE CAR WAS SERVICED FULLY, IT PERFORMS PERFECT AS IT SHOULD WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS COLD HOWEVER ONCE IT HEATS UP THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP, I HAVE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE FORD DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER THEY SAID IT'S A NEW AND IMPROVED TRANSMISSION HOWEVER I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THE TRANSMISSION EQUIPPED TO MY CAR IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION USED IN PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE FORD FOCUS WITH THE SAME FAULTS AND ISSUES AS THE PREVIOUS MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED AND HAD A LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST FORD FOR SELLING FAULTY VEHICLES.

MY TRANSMISSION IS GARBAGE. MY CAR SHAKES WHEN I ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THST IT WAS MADE WITH THE BAD TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID ME GETTING A NEW ONE IS POINTLESS BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A GOOD ONE MADE FOR THE 2017 FORD FOCUS BECAUSE FORD MADE IT THAT WAY KNOWING IT WAS BAD. ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF MY ADAS SYSTEM IS JUST NON EXISTENT OR WHAT BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD IT EVER GO OFF BEFORE.

I FINANCED MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE IN OCTOBER 2018. IT HAD 43,600 APPROX MI ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS JUST TO WORK AND HOME (6 MI ONE WAY) MON - FRI AND WEEKEND ERRANDS IN TOWN, I NOTICED THE CAR STARTED HAVING A SHAKE WHEN I WOULD DRIVE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. MY DAD CAME AND GOT THE CAR TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE FUEL FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION. HE ADVISED THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 2 MORE TIMES SINCE AND I HAVE 68,500 MI ON THE VEHICLE NOW. THE SHAKING IS WORSE THAN EVER AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I NEED FORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE PERMANENTLY. FORD HAS NOW TOLD ME THERE IS...

I PUT MY VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE, IT FELT LIKE I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS WHILE THE BRAKES WERE ON, THEN I WAS LEAVING A STORE WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT REVERSE AND A MESSAGE WOULD POP UP SAYING TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK. IT FINALLY STARTED BUT WOULDN'T GO OVER 11 MILES THEN IT DROPPED DOWN TO 4 MILES. SO, I HAD PARKED IT AND WENT TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON, IT WAS LIKE MY BATTERY HAD DIED.

MY 2017 FOCUS CONTINUES TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHILE ACCELERATING. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS AND FOR THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT NEUTRAL SHIFTS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. FORD COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THE NEUTRAL SHIFT AND WILL NOT FIX IT. THEY WILL ALSO NOT CORRECT THE SHUDDER / VIBRATION BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY CONFIRMED THE SHUDDER, IT WAS STILL "WITHIN SPEC". 2 DAYS AFTER I PICKED IT UP FROM SERVICE FOR THE ISSUES, THE NEUTRAL SHIFT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I FEAR MY FIANCE WHO DRIVES THE CAR WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS THAT FORD IS NOT CORRECTING. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FROM THE FORD DEALER THE ISSUES WERE "CORRECTED" AT.

MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 49000 MILES. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED PROBABLY AROUND 35000 MILES AND TCM UPDATED. HOWEVER, IT IS NOW SHUDDERING AGAIN AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSIONS WITH THESE CARS WERE DEFECTED WHEN THEY WERE MADE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS HOT. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS NEEDED AND WAS TOWED TO APPLE FORD LINCOLN APPLE VALLEY (7200 150TH ST W, APPLE VALLEY, MN 55124) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THREE TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. A CASE NUMBER WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 166,500.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUDDER WHEN TURNING RIGHT ONLY OCCASSIONALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN RAINING JUST UNDER 59500 MILES ON IT

MY 2017 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION WENT OUT.

THE CAR WAS FULLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAY. I PUT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AS USUAL AND GOT THE CAR MOVING. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOT STUCK FULLY ENGAGED TO THE FLOOR, NOT ALLOWING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND KEEP MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE CLUTCH TO DISENGAGE AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND GET THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN GOING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THE CLUTCH WAS BURNED IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR MOVING UP TO SPEED AND IT TOOK THE ENTIRE NIGHT FOR THE SMELL TO DISSIPATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AFTER THAT AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING. SINCE THE DEALER CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER THAN A DIAGNOSTIC...

WHILE GOING FROM A STOP TO ACCELERATING, MY VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND WILL ATTEMPT TO STALL. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR ALMOST CAUSE MULTIPLE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT THE DEALERSHIP (5 TIMES) THEY TELL ME ITS THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY CLUTCH. THEY SAY THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR IT. I HAVE MYSELF AND 2 VERY YOUNG CHILDREN TO WORRY ABOUT WHILE DRIVING, NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT ANY STEADY SPEED, THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY REV UP SOMETIMES GOING FROM 2000 RPMS TO OVER 4000 RPMS.

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND IT ONLY HAD A LITTLE OVER 74,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALREADY SLIPPING AND FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A COMMON, KNOWN ISSUE BY MANY FORD FOCUS OWNERS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD ONLY REPAIR IT IF WE PAID OUT OF POCKET EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED SIMILAR ISSUES. WE CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP EITHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THE CLUTCH SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANDERSON FORD OF ST. JOSEPH (2207 N BELT HWY, ST JOSEPH, MO 64506) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN UNKNOWN CLUTCH ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA HOTLINE TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,260.

2017 FORD FOCUS REQUIRED TRANSMISSION WORK AT 24,000 MILES. NOW, AT 28000 MILES I HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION WORK DONE AGAIN. CAR SHUDDERS WHEN GOING FROM STOP. IF I STOP ON A HILL I HAVE TO HOPE NO CAR IS BEHIND ME BECAUSE THE SECOND I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR ROLLS BACK.

WHEN ACCELERATING, TYPICALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 20K MILES AND I'M TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP "SOME SHUDDERING IS TO BE EXPECTED & CANNOT BE REPAIRED". I DISAGREE. THIS IS NOT TO BE EXPECTED AS NO OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED DID THIS UNLESS THERE WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE THAT THE CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING. WHILE RECEIVING AN OIL CHANGE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION LEAK COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NOURSE CHILLICOTHE AUTOMALL (423 N BRIDGE ST, CHILLICOTHE, OH 45601, (888) 691-6167) AND THE CLUTCH KIT WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER OWNING IT THEY HAD TO REPLACE PRESSURE PLATES IN THE VHICLE AFTER 25K MILES. NOW IT HAS 50K MILES AND IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AGAIN. AFTER READING MANY FORUMS THERE CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

1) BATTERY WAS REPLACED. CORROSION SURROUNDING BATTERY & ALL PARTS OF BATTERY. TOOK THE CAR TO INSPECTION <2 MONTHS LATER AND CORROSION WAS JUST AS BAD. 2) HAVE TAKEN CARE IN EVERY 2-4 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASING NEW IN 2018. UPON ACCELERATION AND TURNING, CAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS. EACH TIME IT IS TAKEN IN, THERE IS NOTHING DONE BECAUSE "IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THERE'S NO FIX."

CAR TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP, DEALER SAYS ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK AS I PULLED OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD MY RPMS BEGAN BEGAN DO RAPIDLY BOUNCE BETWEEN 0-6 AND THE GAS PEDAL DIDN'T RESPOND TO ANYTHING LIKE THE ENGINE WAS NOT RECEIVING ENOUGH FUEL. I STOPPED THE CAR, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, PUT IN PARK AND THE ENGINE RETURNED TO A NORMAL IDLE. I BEGAN TO CONTINUE DRIVING TO TURN AROUND COME BACK HOME WORRIED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ABOUT A HALF MILE LATER THE ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE CAR WOULD CRANK WITH NO START. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AT BEACH FORD IN VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. AFTER THEIR TESTING I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE (FPDM) NEEDS REPLACED AND THAT THE PART IS BACKORDERED WITH AN ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE 2 WEEKS OUT....

THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE MORE THAN 90,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING. DEALERSHIP SAID THE INTERNAL GEARS WERE GRINDING DOWN.

THERE IS 2,800 DOLLARS WORTH OF WORK I'VE TAKEN IT IN TWICE FOR THE SAME THING IT COMES OUT WORSE EVERYTIME IT WAS BUILT IN DECEMBER 2016 IT LEAVES ME SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THEN DRIVES FINE IT'S CRAZY I NEED HELP IT HAS DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION

THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP. WHEN STARTING THE TURN, IT MOVES FORWARD THEN THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES AND THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING. WE HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, PUT THE WHEELS STRAIGHT, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT....IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC!!. IT HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES SINCE WE GOT THE CAR. WHEN WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN (TWICE) FOR ANOTHER RELATED TRANSMISSION PROBLEM (DRY CLUTCH) WE INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISORS AND THIER TECHS COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR OFFER ANY IDEA AS TO WHY THIS HAPPENS. THE CAR ALSO HAS A JERKING MOTION WHEN ACCELERATING. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN TWICE FOR THE THIS SAME REPAIR, CLUTCH REPLACEMENT ON AN AUTOMATIC, WITHIN 1 YEAR. FORD HAS ONLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLY UP TO THE 2016 MODEL YEAR EVEN THOUGH...

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUTTERING ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS IN ALL ROAD CONDITIONS.

THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TWICE. IT CAUSES MY CAR TO JERK AND SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION. I'VE ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE JERKING.FORD DOESN'T HAVE A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS.

THE CAR SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND FIXED IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND THEY SAY THERES NOTHING FOR ME TO DO BUT TO KEEP REPAIRING IT AND ONCE I DONT HAVE A WARRANTY THE MONEY WILL GO OUT OF MY POCKET.

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION ON A STREET AND THE CAR BEGINS IN MOTION, IT HAS A SLUGGISH AND JERKY START. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUTO MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT NEEDED A NEW DUAL CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION.

I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT ALSO SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING AND TURNING SIMULTANEOUSLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT AFFECTED FORD FOCUSES BUILT IN 2012-2016 VEHICLES. IT OCCURS MOSTLY WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IT HAS OCCURED THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE (CURENTLY ~20K MILES DRIVEN). THIS ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING.

THE CAR SHAKE WHEN DRIVING,AT TIMES THE PUT NEW CLICHES LAST YEAR BUT STILL DO IT BUT WHEN YOU TAKE IT BACK ,THE SAY IT DOESN'T SHOW A CODE .I BOUT THE CAR BRAND NEW 3 YRS. AGO AND I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING OFF AND ON. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM,THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT,BUT IT HAVE TO SHOW A CODE,THAT WHY THEY REPLACED NEW CLICHES. BUT IS STILL DOING IT ALONE WITH A NOISY SOUND. THANK YOU *TR

MY CAR DROPS INTO NEUTRAL BETWEEN GEARS WHEN CHANGING GEARS AS I AM DRIVING, LEADING TO A LACK OF ACCELERATION. AT TIMES CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND SHIFTS JERKILY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STARTING TO PULL OFF FROM A RED LIGHT AND IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IT IS A 2017 AND THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. OTHER 2017 FORD FOCUS' ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS BUT MY PARTICULAR CAR ISN'T FOR WHATEVER REASON. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS STARTED EXCESSIVELY SHAKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY JUST ABOUT 56K MILES. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. *TR
