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.

I took it to the dealership yesterday (Oct.12, 2015), I just purchased it October 1, 2015 they put it to be serviced the service department called this morning and said nothing is wrong with it I can pick it up. It also gets stuck in park, that has happened several times in the week I've had it.
