Transmission Lags, Shifts Roughly
2013 Ford Focus (Page 1 of 3)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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.

Inherited the car from great-aunt with 28000 miles on it. Transmission lagged and stuttered and couldn't decide which gear to be in. Took it to my mechanic who informed me that the transmission had already been rebuilt. The only thing that seems to help a little is to stomp the accelerator from a stop sign to inform the computer that you really intend to accelerate so it doesn't ponder what gear the transmission should be in.
