My 2015 Ford Focus had a recall due to a faulty transmission in 2017. The cars engine would shudder when switching from 1st to 2nd gears in the automatic/manual transition. I replaced the transmission under the recall warranty. However, almost a year later to this date my transmission/engine is showing the same signs.

Car shutters between 5 to 15 miles per hour. Replaced battery transmission light came on stating transmission is hot. Took to Ford said its a dual clutch that's stuck and it's a shift fork that needs replacement. I should receive an transmission issue after replacing a battery then be told it's a clutch that stuck. Appears to be the same issue from the 2014 Ford Focus. This happened while driving back from replacing the battery's. told by Ford its mimic a bad battery.

There is now this grinding noise coming from my car engine. Was acting up a month after I bought it in 2017. Everyone said oh it's fine there's nothing wrong with it. Well it acts up as soon as I start to drive it slow.... others say it's the transmission. And others say I'm stupid. It slips when you start to go. I want this fixed

2015 Ford Focus. Driving home, almost crashed head on due to loss of steering in my vehicle. Purchased new 3 miles in June 2015. Still trying to get service for recall on powertrain, always told parts are not available or service requests backed up. The vehicle is unsafe and can cause fatality on the road. My current mileage is 53,181 and in no way should the steering system fail. My car is in the shop at the dealer and the cost for repair is $2100 plus tax which I do not have. I have researched and found many complaints about the same issues I am reporting. There should be a safety recall on the steering system. I'm struggling each day getting rides back and forth to work and I no longer feel safe with my child in an unsafe motor vehicle that could cause crash/collision. Ford needs to take responsibility for defects and recall all Ford Focus 2015 so that others consumers can get their car repaired. As I stated before I almost crashed head on due to steering failure. Not safe to drive on the rode.

I have already had the clutch replaced 2 times and it is still shuttering and slipping and no one will do anything about it. I had gotten a letter stating my car was on a recall but now it's not. I am a single mom with a son, I need to know that my car is safe. Not sure what to do please help.

The car has 101628 miles on it as mmy wife commutes to work about 1.5 hours each way per day. The transmission shutters on take off, does not know when to shift gears at times from 1st to 2nd could happen anywhere and from 3rd to 4th on the highway and now the transmission has stopped going into reverse at all. This will be the 3rd time this car has been in the dealer for this issue and the warranty has already ran out from Ford but we got the extended warranty, so the repair will be on me the next time. There are times that I will ease on the gas and it does not want to roll then it will jerk and take off. By the way this problem has been going on for the 3 years we have owned the car
