Doesn't accelerate half the time when I hit gas. Doesn't go reverse half the time I put it in reverse. Shuts off randomly. Shakes, shutters. Had codes P07A3 and P2872 show up and Ford said they aren't transmission related even tho both codes have the word " transmission in the code summary. Couldn't get involved in 55mill lawsuit because I haven't had 2 repairs on it. Been in shop since 50K miles getting seniors and stuff replaced. Car has never improved even tho I keep spending money. It's been in shop 3 weeks now. They said might be trans issue now but the radiator is messed up and they can't proceed without 600 dollars. Help before car kills some1. Millions of youtube videos show same issues I have. Ford don't do anything but deny cause 1.8 cars out there from the same assembly plant mine is from with same issues

My 2013 Ford Focus would not randomly start the other evening, after a couple tries it started. On the way home it would not shift properly and acting like it was going to stall. My engine light came on, which never had before. So the next morning I went to go take it to auto zone to have them do a diagnostic and my vehicle started right up, however it would not go into reverse. I have read there have been several issues with the Focus' transmission.

Transmission transmission transmission the car jerks and the clutch is messed up. I've had nothing but issues with the transmission, clutch, repeated recalls.

- Highland, IN, USA

I have had nothing but issues with this car since I got it 5 years ago. I was leaving to take my son to a dr appointment. I got about a mile down the road and the service engine now pops up. A loud pop sound came thru my speakers and the radio stopped working. Then I started losing rpms and power to my car it wouldn't go over 10mph. I was able to limp it back home very slowly. I'm not sure what's going on I've replaced the crankshaft/camshaft sensor and purge valve. I've had all the recalls fixed on it dealing with the transmission and clutch about 2 years ago. When Ford made this car they clearly wasn't thinking straight. This car is not safe and I'm so glad we made it back home safe my child was terrified. Nothing but a money pit and I don't have a lot of money to keep putting in a car that keeps having the same issues over and over.

Ford transmission problems wont go away!! transmission shutter and poor initial acceleration. The clutch has been replaced twice and tcm twice by Ford dealer. After the last tcm replacement in 2016 problems continued and I was turned away by Ford dealerships because no engine light came on. Now that finally a check engine light came on U0101, P07A3, I am now over 100, 000 miles the clutch is no longer covered under warranty but the tcm is. I have had several incidents where the car lost all acceleration abilities while driving on a busy highway or simply fail to accelerate and a traffic light causing major delays for anyone around me. It has been a saftey concern for years due to the unpredictability of the transmission intermittently not allowing acceleration.

Automatic transmission failed after 76,000 miles. Transmission would occasionally slip every couple of weeks since initial purchase. A few days before transmission failure the vehicle started to jerk and would have intermittent transmission issues. Ultimately the transmission failed while driving and once parked, the vehicle would only start in neutral and the vehicle would not shift to reverse. The vehicle was driven for around 1-2 years and then was maintained in a storage state for 4 years and then was driven for another 1-2 years before the transmission failed at 76,000 miles. These transmissions failing is and reports say that it was a known issue from the start. Transmission issues while driving pose a moderate safety concern and could potentially cause an accident on the road in a traffic condition. Based on numerous complaints about the transmission issues on this vehicle, Ford needs to be held accountable and an official recall needs to be issued for the transmission on the 2013 Ford Focus! the conditions for this recall should be based on meeting one (not both) of the following: Less than 7/10 years, or 100,000/150,000 miles.

Got in my car to go work started down road and the ada's it showed up on my dash that it was the trans fault service now I turned around and come home. I called the service man at Ford place where I bought the car. Before this happened the car was taking to them because the car was not pulling right they looked at it and said nothing was wrong and I called them and nothing was done in June 2019 and now my car is not drivable now it's been down since 12/24/2020 I called the Ford place and they can't get it in till 01/04/2021. This has been very inconvenient for not do I have health issues, but my daughter is 81/2 months pregnant and I have no way to go. I've only have had this car 1year and 8 months and it's been nothing but trouble..

The transmission control actual failed while I was driving on the interstate. It was as if the car went into neutral and would not go back into gear. When I pressed the accelerator pedal, it would only rev the rpms high and fall back down, no reaction by the transmission whatsoever. I was almost hit by several cars while trying to move over, with the transmission not responding to my gas pedal. There is an active recall/extended warranty on the tcm transmission control module for my vehicle. The check engine light came on, and I scanned the code with a professional obd2 reader. The code was for tcm. Capital Ford at charlotte called me and told me it was the "shift actuator", (a $60 part), not the tcm, and it was not covered under the recall. They wanted $2800 to replace the part, a $60 part. I called Ford, and they gave me a case number to "try" to get it repaired under warranty, but the service director at capital Ford told me he cannot do anything unless Ford tells him to do so, and thus far they have not approved anything to be repaired under warranty. They still have my car in the shop. This is a death trap waiting to happen. I am glad it was me driving and not my wife.

I was driving on a highway using my cruise control and the motor revved up really high as if it was in neutral. I took it off cruise control and the transmission wasn't going into to any gear. I had to start off in low gear and when I got to 15-20mph put in drive the transmission jerks so hard it felt like someone had hit us from behind ive been reading up on this and I feel the whole transmission needs to be recalled. Also the power steering has showed 2 times theres something failing on it turning around in a parling lot and all the sudden ima not able to turn almost hit 2 people. It was horrible.
