The 2018 Ford Focus ti started to give me problems when braking and accelerating, the fist was when taking off at a stop light, the Focus accelerated more when slowing down and braking to a car in front of me, it was like I was hitting gas pedal and brake at the same time. After that on the same day I was driving up a hill and it was accelerating with out pressing on the gas pedal I hit the brakes again and it finally stopped, when I got to my destination I put the car in park and again press the brake it revved up to 3000 rpms and did not stop until I press the run/stop button. The next day I was driving and did a hard stop it about stalled with rpms going down to 400 and fluctuating up to 1200 rpms, with all this was going on my brakes felt soft then hard, the transmission also clicked two times when hard stopping.

A few weeks after I had gotten my car on May 12th 2018 I noticed grinding, jerking, felt almost as if it were tryong to stall and that there was alot of play in the transmission when rotating tires, I took the car to the wlford dealership in sikeston Missouri they claim that they didnt not hear, see, or feel anything. But did not put the car on the rack or anything they just drove it around the block. They threw a fit about giving me a loaner and were doing there best to prevent any work being done on the car. They claim that this was normal I done some research and others have had problems with this pos powershift automatic transmission. Well its now 4 months down the road and the car is only getting worse it is jerking bad, grinding, clinking, clacking, poor throttle response, barely able to get up a hill, the wholse transmission is sh. These cars are mad cheap and sold at an overpriced amount, I will not be buying anything from Ford again. But for how much I paid, there will be a new transmission or someone giving a new car if this sh keeps up. 2018 Ford Focus worst pos on this planet do not buy it. Who was the dumb to even think that a couple of solenoids and a computer could control a manual transmission in an automatic gearbox"??" its not powershift either cause this car has no power whatsoever it feels like it has 50hp and 2lbs tq. 3rd gear is the only get up and go gear all the other ones are sluggish an you have to put the pedal almost all the way to the floor just to go anywhere.

While driving at highway speeds in even mild wind or turbulent air from traffic the car has a loss of stability. The car was purchased in winter and as soon as conditions improved for highway speed to resume we found out.we do not feel the car should not be used for highway driving. When getting off the highway intermittently a vibration occurs as well as when traveling at 50mph occasionally feeling a drive line vibration feels like it comes from the right front wheel. So far the car has been to 2 dealers and they both acknowledge the issues and then say that this is proper that when driving a new Focus from their lots they are the same.

From a complete stop (due to stopped traffic on the highway or while at a stop light), acceleration causes the vehicle to hesitate, rapidly increase RPM, and shudder/shake violently. Happens roughly between 0-35 mph. The issue is becoming more frequent, so I'll be taking the vehicle into the dealership. Mileage is just under 30K.
