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 car on Wednesday and noticed the touch screen was blank. This controls the radio.phone.GPS, backup camera and other important features. I can't believe the salesman didn't know it was not working it is the only car out of three test driven that he did not turn on the radio.
Anyway I took it back to the dealer Towbin Dodge who tried to get me to take it to Ford myself to get it fix. Itold them NO WAY Towbin Dodge has to make this right.
