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.
This hatchback, which is a 2015 mind you, the headliner squeaks and vibrates all of the time. Makes me feel like I am driving a used 500 dollar truck from 1998. About done with this crap. And, the transmission needs another whole page.
Nothing like buying a 30k vehicle and less than 10k miles and the headliner has a lovely Styrofoam sounding squeak from the headliner near the center overhead where the overhead lights are located. Simply press you hand against the side and it stops. This vehicle is used for highway driving and in 10k miles its rattling like a 10 year old beater.
