Shuddering In Transmission
2014 Ford Focus (Page 2 of 3)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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.

Also cruise control did not work. Had to order instrument control panel cluster. On back order. Took approx. 6 weeks to fix. Not complaining. Gave us a Fusion to drive while being repaired. But, I'm not convinced the transmission problem is fixed. While it's not as bad as is was, there is still shuddering while shifting.
