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 have had my car in the shop 4 times already for the same thing. the engine light will come on and it's becoming more frequently. they keep resetting it and said they know there's a problem but they don't have a fix for it. I'm just really fed up and how long can this go on if they don't fix it, I can't sell the car like this and it's going to loose any value.
