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.

This is particularly bad. When the gas gets below 1/4 tank, the fuel gauge drops rapidly, and you really can't be sure how far you can drive
before stopping for gas. There is a recall for this, just not for my vin#. The recall needs to be extended to include more vehicles.
