CarComplaints.com Notes: Ford changed a lot of things for its 3rd generation, just none of them were a good idea.
The transmission tends to hesitate and jerk when accelerating. The new electronically-driven power steering can fail suddenly and without warning. Even Ford's SYNC can be a headache. Actually, scratch that last one — it's always been a headache.

This is a Focus electric. While stopped in an intersection waiting to turn left, the stop safely now light illuminated and the car shut down. I was able to shift into neutral and get the car out of the intersection. After a few cycles of the start/stop button the car started again and resumed normal operation.
