There is a recall on the transmission for the engine again. I the transmission for my 2013 Ford Focus had this same recall and I went in to get it fixed by Ford campbell in niles, Michigan. They took apart the transmission and expected me to pay $2000 to fix it when there was a recall on the transmission, to begin with. I hate this model and I am sick of constantly having recalls on this model. I think anyone with this model should have their car replaced with a better model that won't have a recall on it and shouldn't have the loan rolled over.

When engine warms up and you are stopped at a light, stop sign, anywhere the car comes to a full stop and you then proceed to hit the gas once it hits around 16-20 mph the transmission front end of the car feels like it starts stuttering and jerking heavily. Once you get over about 20-21mph it stops. This can happen anywhere street, highway, anywhere the car comes to a full stop then goes. Happens everyday once the engine or transmission warms up some.

The brake master cylinder is already leaking. The vehicle only has 27000 miles on it. It should not have gone out for a long while...at least 100000 miles.

When powertrain is warm and vehicle is accelerating from a stop, there is a loud grinding sound, vehicle shuddering and vibration, and resulting engine hesitation as the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear. Occasionally at highway speeds (55-65 mph) there is a noticeable vibration and shuddering as the vehicle moves into and out of overdrive gears. I have taken the car to the dealership that sold it to me twice with concern about this problem and the service tech says they are waiting for Ford to recall the faulty components, and that this is a common complaint.

The cross traffic alert system is not working correctly, the dealer has had the car for a month and a half, Ford told the dealer they new the problem back in feburary 2017, I bought the car in June 2017, this is a safety issue for the car and Ford told the dealer that they turned off this feature for an unknown reason, I paid for this extra feature and they still sold the car knowning this feature wasn't working

A/C ventilation is producing a musty/ moldy smell, I have owned the car for only 4 months, the odor is strong, and may be dangerous as mold growth may seep through vents and into ones airways. I am concerned for my health, along with who ever enters the vehicle. Please investigate this further. Internet research as allowed me to view various identical cases with mold odor & A/C vents on Ford vehicles, there might be an issue at Ford manufacturers. The issue may occur at any time but is more prominent when turning on the A/C.
