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.

Driving down the interstate from Chicago to Alabama. We went to take the off ramp and steering was very rough with a scrubbing type noise. I called the dealer who said he already knows what it is. It's a very common issue and it will cost over $2000 to fix. it is the the steering rack/power steering gear.
