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.
This hatchback purchased at Ricart Ford in Groveport, Ohio will occasionally feel like it has slipped out of gear for a few seconds when doing speeds of 65+ MPH. This makes me worry that more problems may happen in the future, such as total transmission failure.
