CarComplaints.com Notes: For the third year in a row, the 3rd generation Focus is experiencing massive transmission problems.

Most notably owners keep complaining about how there's bad hesitation and jerking when starting from a stop. This isn't the result of an old, worn out part. In fact, the average mileage it's reported to us is just over 15k miles.

problem #2

Focus Titanium 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission

Water is building up inside the rear door frames where the seal is located causing the paint to erode. The paint is becoming rough, when it used to be smooth.

Focus SE 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 92 miles

When it rains, there is alway's a water build up on the frame beteen the back passanger door and seal, this will cause it to rust out fast, there are 2 2014 ford focus's that I know of that do this, Please check your rear passanger door when it rains and see if the water is building up on you also.

Update from Jul 8, 2015: Still nothing posted on your site about this problem????
