Been having issues with transmission. It has been replaced 3 times. Today transmission revved up to 4000 RPM then stuttered and completely shut off while traveling on the freeway going 70mph. Not the first time this has happened. Going to shop tomorrow. Not looking forward to spending $1500 a fourth time.

This year and model had a recall for the clutch in the transmission due to clutch will stall and shutter. My vehicle has had the clutch changed 3 times now without result. I am currently in need of the 4th clutch repair on my 2014 Ford Focus and now I am being told by my Ford dealership that is " recall" part will not be covered and it will cost me $1800 to fix even though this has not been corrected the past 3 times. Now my car is not safe for me to drive as it will stall. My car currently will shutter while trying to speed up from 0-20 which makes it difficult to pull out safely and it is now not down shift properly and the warning lights will come on. I have not driven my car for a week now and this is my main means of travel for work to support my family.

Power steering failed while driving. Nearly caused an accident. Lucky there were no others on the road. Ford dealership said rack and pinion needed replacing. 2 weeks later the transmission completely failed. Had already been re-programmed as part of the 14M02 program. This didn't fix the juddering and poor gear performance. Dealer says transmission is broken and none of the customer programs apply.

My Ford Focus would rev up and down.... and when I would hit a speed over 50 mph I couldn't press the gas anymore. I would have to coast to the side of the road because my gas pedal wouldn't take me anywhere. The last time it happened, I almost died. I was pulling out of the gym parking lot and it started acting up again and it stalled in the middle of the road with on coming traffic. The car will stay on but when you press the gas it goes no where. I took it to Ford, and they replaced what they believe is wrong with their current transmission problems. But it still continues to do the same thing. They are not safe cars!!!!
