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.

Twice my car would not start giving me the message it did not recognize the key. I spent $85 for a tow to
the local dealer since I was on the road at the time. The second time it happened the car later accepted the key and worked fine. The dealer said they reprogrammed the car but did not provide any documentation to support their claim.
