I was driving the Ford Focus (2015) about 40 M/hr when it suddenly stalled and the transmission started to act weird. Service engine came on and I read the code as P090C. I had to control the car right away as it stalled. Read a lot about this code online and it seems to be a common reported problem with the Ford Focus, and there is high safety concerns as well as reoccurring issues even after repairs are completed.

I have a 2015 Ford Focus SE and I have maintained my vehicle. The transmission about 3 months ago has started slipping. It shows no codes but the power is decreased, it hesitates and jerks when pulling out and it sticks when shifting. I work at a tire and auto garage and have had it looked over.

I have had a faulty transmission since the day I bought the car and as a single mother, I can not afford to bring the car in for servicing every other day. This transmission is dangerous. It shutters and jolts very hard and is creating dangerous driving conditions for me and anyone else on the road. Vehicle is in motion when I am noticing the problems. I was also told that it was my fault and that the jolting and shuttering is normal....which it is not.

When putting my 2015 Ford Focus in reverse from park it went forward. I repeated this action 3 times before it finally reversed! I could have gone down into a ravine! took the Ford Focus to rivertown Ford and they had the car for 3 days but could not "duplicate" the complaint so they could not fix it under warranty. Also, the transmission jerks forward when put in motion and shakes when slowing down.

My vehicle shutters at low speeds when pushing on accelerator, especially after stopping as at a stoplight. Ford has replaced the clutch once already for this problem. However the problem has surfaced again. Now, while driving on the highway the rpms will escalate for no apparent reason. Also the transition from one gear to another seems as if it is slipping or missing, at any speed. Ford dealer looked at it and said the clutch needs to be replaced again. The price is $1253.

I'm having problems with my Ford Focus 2015 (75000 miles). When accelerating quickly into an intersection, there is a delay in acceleration. When it comes to deceleration, my vehicle cannot properly downshift, even when I apply the brakes, the vehicle lurches forward. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership and they have told no light on dash, no tmc. They keep insisting is the clutch that needs to be replaced and don't want to replace the tmc.

Clutch in transmission slips. Recalled on other models but not this one. Causes car to not take off smoothly, jitters bad enough to shake the car.

Brought the car brand new, enjoyed driving it but then a year later the car would feel like it would stall but it wouldn't stall then when braking it would accelerate more. Took it to the dealership at honolulu Ford 1370 N. king street honolulu, hi 96817 for an oil change and told them about it also told them I got a recall letter in the mail and showed it to them but all I got was "oh you don't have to worry about that right now"! recently I have called the dealership about the recall and still nothing. The customer service is terrible and very rude.I don't know what to do so the only thing I can do is call them every week and ask about the recall.
