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.
Car lost power while driving on the interstate at 65 mph. Very dangerous! Had to coast to the right lane and pull off to the shoulder. Power cycling the car allowed it to be placed back into Drive and go for a bit, but then it would happen again after a short while.
