The vehicle does a studdering and stalling. In 2015, Ford said they fixed it and that some of the studdering is because it's a 4 cyl vehicle. In May 2018 I brought the car back stating the same issue but worst. They said it's the tcm and it would cost me $1850. I complained to Ford Motor Company and they extended the warranty. Ford said they fixed it. The next day I had to bring the car back because the dashboard said "transmission overheating please stop" then it stall on me in the middle of traffic. I took it back to them and asked what did they fixed. They had the car for 2 days then called me to tell me it's the clutch and it's not covered under the warranty and it costs $2400. The clutch is part of the transmission so why isn't it" they are now telling me because my car has 94000 miles on it that it is normal wear and tear. Who buys a brand new vehicle for it to conk out on them at 94000" they will not fix my car without me paying for it. This is a defective part that Ford has and they refuse to take ownership of the matter and resolve it. I had to participate in a class action suit against Ford regarding this. Several others are now being compensated but they are residents of ca which has stricter lemon laws. The suit is now on hold.

My car would start jerking and reving up and then I would no longer be able to gas it. It just began to roll in the direction it was already going in.

The dual clutch powershift transmission has begun to fail on me. It jerks suddenly at highway speeds, has RPM flares and will not shift into reverse. When brought to sayville Ford, lenny told me that this particular model 2014 Ford Focus was not covered by any extended warranty and would therefore cost me 2200 to repair. He did explain to me that the tcm was under warranty, but this was apparently not the issue with the vehicle. I continue to have these issues.

I have a 2014 Ford Focus that has a dps6 transmission that needs to have the clutches replaced. I bought used in Dec 2015 and in early 2016 I started to have shuttering problems. I took the car to the dealer and they told me that this was normal. About 6 months later I had the same issue again. Took my car back to the dealer and they told me that the transmission is learning how you drive and this was normal. About 6 months after that my engine stalled because my transmission would not go between gears. I finally got my car started and took it to the dealer and they reflashed my tcm. My car ran alright for awhile and then I started to have problems again with shifting and shuddering. Took my car back to the dealer and was told my clutches were out of specs and needed to be replaced at a cost of $2,000 which I cannot afford. At no time did the dealer give me any paperwork. Even after I asked for paperwork. Now I continue to have problems with shuddering and the engine light will come on and the go away after the car sits overnight. When the engine is cold everything works fine until the engine gets warm and then I start having problems again. After doing some research. I notice there is a technical service bulletin 16-0109. However Ford will not fix. They tell me my car is not on this list. Whatever this means. I am truly frustrated with Ford and I am afraid that I may cause a accident. Apparently I am not the only one having these problems. Why is there no recall on these vehicles? Ford knowing knew about these problems and continued to sell these vehicles and not forced to fix.

Vacuum seal on gas tank is faulty and gets air bubbles and the car cuts off at random. It cut off in the middle of an intersection yesterday and I almost got hit. I've reported this issue multiple times. Several other ones were recalled but not my VIN number but it's the exact same issue.

The power train repeatedly "slips" and makes unusual noises during acceleration and deacceleration. 3rd party observers have also and repeatedly made similar observations.

Tcm has been reprogrammed one and 2 new clutches have been installed under warranty. Shudder has returned at around 12,000 miles since last new clutch installed. Ford refuses to do anything since it was 120 miles over the warranty. This is a known issue with these cars.

On Friday 27 of April 2018 I was driving my car, I made a stop on a red light to make a right turn then when I accelerated my check engine turn on and I felt my car mess 2nd gear and lost power for 3 to 4 seconds. After that incident I park my car and I decide to return home so I try to reverse and my reverse wasn't working. Immediately I took the car to a mechanic and he scan it, so he gave me the code indicating it was the clutch actuator B. on Monday I went to buy the part at the local dealer and my mechanic change it and it fix the problem for a week and it did it again on May 5 2018. This time the car lose power while the car was in motion. I was driving at 55 mph and it was risky for myself and family and other vehicles because I could have a accident or put people in danger. The local dealer did the dual clutch replacements, the seals and the tcm control modul around 50000 miles ago and even after those replacement and repairs the car isn't working well and it always has one problem and another. The engine and transmission mounts has been a problem since we got the car. On behalf of the transmission shift problems and poor disign of te transmission I have to change constantly the motor and transmission mounts.I hope Ford company takes care of this problem as responsible of selling defective cars and trying to act like nothing is happening and putting life's on risk....

Transmission causes vehicle to jerk and shimmy when accelerating from a stop. Will not accelerate while doing this, causing danger when there is another vehicle behind or leaving a stop sign. Transmission clutch was replaced due to this issue and these issues started again after approximately one year.

- Perryville, MO, USA

From a stop L was accelerating and the transmission made a grinding noise. My steering wheel shook or vibrated horribly and the power during acceleration was weak and I could not merge onto the highway in a normal manner. Normal meaning as a commuter to and from work on a daily basis. Highway merging from a stop.

My 2014 Ford Focus has had a myriad of problems from day one. First the trunk will pop open if driving more than 40 mph. My trunk popped open and I lost a 3,000 saxophone. The Michigan state police has proof of my claim. Now trunk will not release. Constant transmission problems even with repairs, the car will lag, sputter and rolls backwards. The car will roll backwards when you stop for a red light or sputter when entering a roundabout.the gas guard will say you have 50 gallons but change to 11 after driving 2 miles. Bluetooth and horn does not work.
