CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 Ford Focus & its "Powershift" transmission has a defect trend where the car shudders when accelerating, especially when starting uphill.
Most owners have reported their Ford Focus remains driveable while the vehicle is still at low mileage, but the shuddering is annoying & unpleasant & may reduce the resale value of the vehicle.
However, owners of higher-mileage vehicles from earlier 3rd generation Focus model years report transmission failure & a host of other major & expensive transmission-related problems. Potential buyers beware.

Bought these from a company called OMAC USA. Installed correctly and about an hour into my trip going about 65 mph down Hwy 54 traveling West one of the racks broke loose and blew off my car. Thank GOD no one was behind me or there could have been casualties!
