- Rancho Cordova, CA, USA

I purchased a 2013 Ford Focus SE on October 2014. Immediately noticed issues with car shaking upon acceleration. Figured it had to do with the torque I didn't know better. Wasn't till I started having problems starting car and it was hesitating everytime I stopped at a light. After few minutes it would pick up speed without hesitating until I stopped again.( this car is an automatic but feels like a standard.) had recalls and repairs done in 2015, a week after that had to take car back again for same issues. It was repaired again. Here we are September 16, 2019 and same issues. But now dealership is saying recall expires 7 yrs from when car was made. Not purchased. I was just a week past the expiration date. Now I have to pay out of pocket for something Ford could not get done right. Not only the first time, second and now third time! this will be the last time I purchase a Ford.

Vehicle shudders when I try to accelerate slowly from a stop sign or making a turn on to a street. Sometimes shudders when I am already moving but trying to speed up with traffic such as being on a highway. Also when im low on gas before it reaches E it completely shuts down. No gas light or shuddering. I had champion Ford in erie pa look into this but there was no code or anything to go by. Im not sure what to do. It has been happening frquently now but everyone I talk to says its hard to determine without a code, but what if my control module is messed up or something" I have 5 kids I Transport everyday and worried that this can cause an accident if somethings not done"

Prior to incident, vehicle would intermittently shudder on take-offs. Incident involved vehicle traveling on an interstate highway at 70 mph on the outskirts of a large metro area when all power to wheels was lost. The check engine light turned on. Engine would rev when accelerator was pressed, but car acted as if in neutral. Car coasted to a stop. The car would not shift out of neutral until after the car sat for over an hour. The car was towed to a Ford dealership. Ford service department advised that the transmission control module (tcm) had failed and a new tcm was installed and car now works most of the time, but intermittent shudder on take off still occurs, though less frequently than before.

- Anacortes, WA, USA

Transmission shifting issues that affect the safety of the vehicle in use. Transmission will lag, hard shift, vehicle will get "stuck" when attempting to accelerate. The vehicle will violently shake and shudder going around slow turns or when accelerating from a stop. In traffic, the acceleration lag as well as she shuddering are dangerous. The vehicles brakes do not respond as well when shuddering. Ford insists that all vehicle parts are operating correctly. If that is the case, Ford has designed an incredibly unsafe vehicle.

- Cumming, GA, USA
