Transmission and clutch issues when trying to accelerate

- Baytown, TX, USA

Often when driving, the transmission will shudder, specifically with hitting the gas. I'm often concerned about turning up front of cars as it shudders before finally going. This has been continual with this vehicle

- Novi, MI, USA

Dps6 powershift. I was at a very busy big intersection..right in the middle of it the car slips/jerks like it put itself in neutral and would not accelerate at all..a transfer truck was coming and barely got stopped almost T boned me on driverside with my son in the car. Please tell me how this is not a safety concern"? does someone have to die for the NHTSA or Ford to take this seriously?" this has went on for way to long for nothing to be done about it. No matter how dangerous it is to me, my family, and other drivers I have no choice but to drive it. It's our only vehicle and we still owe 11,000 on it and it's only worth 3,000. I have to leave a hour early for every trip bc I know I'm going to be stuck on the side of the rd literally every 5 min...or worse in the middle of an intersection. Something needs to be done about this...I am begging you!!!

Takata recall - I have been experiencing jerking and stuttering with my vehicle since I purchased it new in 2014. My vehicle will stutter and jerk upon pressing the gas from a standstill in traffic, on a highway and it is even worse going uphill. It is slow to pick up speed no matter how much pressure I put on the gas pedal. Now there is an issue with something revving under the hood and also with the vehicle overheating. I have had several near accidents due to the vehicles jerking and stuttering when moving from a stopped position to a forward mortion in traffic. These incidents have happened over the course of five years of me purchasing the vehicle new. The stuttering and jerking happens daily.

When I first purchased the car I had issues from the start. I would press on the gas and the car would hesitate to go forward and then jerk. It felt like I was driving a manual car but I had an automatic. I found out that there was a recall on the car for this specific reason. I took the car to my local Ford dealer in clarksville in and had to wait over 3 weeks for the part to come in. I was not offered a loaner car or anything. Once I got the part it was ok for like literally maybe 1 or 2 months and the issues arose again. I took the car back and was told it was the last time I would be able to get the issue fixed for free. This all happened in 2016. It is now 2019 and I am still having the same issues. Also the passenger side seatbelt works intermittently. And the car doors do not always latch tightly when you shut the door. I have been told several times that there is nothing that can be done. Now I am stuck still making payments on a car that I do not feel safe driving. I did have a wreck in the car back in 2016 where I was pushing on the gas and it jerked really hard and then went forward violently and I hit a pole. The damage is still on my car which includes a busted front bumper and the car horn is not working.

The car does not shift correctly it sputters when accelerating. When accelerating it doesn't shift properly like its not getting enough gas. Also when you are sitting in traffic and go to accelerate it jumps forward. This car also has died while driving as it is shifting gears. Even though there is a date at the bottom this has been like this since I purchased it. I was told by the dealer its the way I drive it the computer shifting has to get use to my driving habits.

Car shakes when going from a stopped position then pressing on gas. Feels like it jerks. Also my catalytic converter has been faulty since 2 years after I got my car in 2014

- Theodore, AL, USA

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Focus. While driving various speeds, the engine stalled and the vehicle rumbled and shook without warning. The contact took the vehicle to camelback Ford (1330 E camelback rd, phoenix, AZ 85014, (602) 635-7551) where he was informed that the vehicle was supposed to operate in that manner. The dealer replaced the clutch assembly and tcm, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 14.

Car jerks and stalls, outstanding recall, dealership insists that parts are unavailable for repair

Dps6 transmission. This has been an ongoing issue and I fear for the safety of me and my family. We will be driving down the rd any type (interstate, country rds or in city) and the vehicle will loose power as if it all of a sudden goes into neutral..this is very dangerous and a major safety concern. To be going 65 on the interstate and all of a sudden your vehicle looses power, and keeps doing it the rest of the trip. I have been in near accidents several times bc of this. Also I will be driving down the rd and the car will accelerate on its on causing the rpms to go way up and then all of a sudden it will basically go into neutral with no warning at all. This is my family's only vehicle. We have no choice but to keep driving it and risk our lifes and the life's of others daily. We still owe 11,000 on this car. Ford knew of the problem when they sold us this vehicle and now we have to suffer" when is Ford going to be held accountable for this" we went to Ford regarding this is issue and they reflashed the tcm and it fixed it for 3 weeks then started doing the same exact thing. They also told me if it done it again then I would need a clutch replacement. (which I would have to pay for bc the miles have exceeded the extended warranty) I am sorry but when a clutch goes bad it's going to do it all the time..not just randomly. I have heard from several people who did replace the clutch 3 or more times and the problem still exists. So no I will not be paying for a new clutch when I've read hundreds of comments from people stating they did just that and it didn't fix it.

Engine stalls when accelerating, and stops while driving on road. Occurs frequently and has happened more than once. Ford says nothing is wrong.

- Finchville, KY, USA

My cars transmission stalls everyday while driving. It shakes and stutters at light or stop signs when you go to take off. It shifts hard. This has been going on since about 3 weeks after buying the car. It does this all the time and on city streets and highways as well.

- Raymore, MO, USA

I have had this car since 2017 and it seems like there is a delay in shifting. I was driving the car in 2018 and the car suddenly stops in the highway. My car would not move at all. It was taken to a Ford dealer for power train issue but it has since been doing the same. It stalls and seems like there is a transmission issue. I can't afford another transmission. I'm not under warranty. I have nothing but issues with this car. My clutch has been changed thee times.

Takata recall I can feel my car jolting (almost everyday now) especially as I try to accelerate or increase speed. I feel it the most when I am accelerating from a stop light or slowing down for a turn and trying to speed back up. My car has stalled twice on the highway as I was trying to accelerate after slowing down. I can see that there is a recall out for my car however, there is no remedy available and I no longer feel safe driving this car! I purchased the car back in July of 2018 and felt the jolts around mid-September. Now they have gotten increasingly worse and are a part of my everyday driving. I was told that there would be a solution early 2019 so I was determined to wait until then but now we're in the latter half of the year with no solution.

Takata recall I bought my 2014 Ford Focus during my first year of college. I started to notice the cars clutch slipping immediately. After persistently taking the car to the dealership about the issue for a year, Ford finally admitted there was an issue with the car and that they would get me in the list for a new clutch. They (I assume intentionally) prolonged the process just long enough to escape the lemon law. Within a month of having my clutch replaced I started to notice it slipping. I have not had the clutch replaced again because I feel there is no point. I need to sell my car and get a new one that I feel safe driving, but I am upside down on my loan. I will never buy from Ford again.

As of 07/16/19 Ford has put 7 clutches in this vehicle. We are scheduled for an other app. On 07/18/19. The problem is back, I believe this this is the third trip back since the last clutch was put in. Ford keeps saying it's not back enough to replace, but when you look at the paper work it says they readjusted the clutch, each time. I don't understand this because if you look at the mileage in and out of the shop it's the same. How can they say the problem not there. If they don't drive it? it's to the point now that you don't dare try to pass or go by another car because it hesitates so bad and the tec meter will jump to 5/5 1/2 before it drops down and shifts gears. It's like driving a car with a standard transmission and the clutch isn't out far enough.

My car shutters when I accelerate. The problem has become progressively worse and I am concerned about the longevity/safety of my vehicle.
