CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 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.

In 2018 the vehicle had coolant coming out of the tail pipes, however the vehicle was not overheating, and lost coolant from the bottle quickly. Thus I took the vehicle to the dealership and the head cylinder was replaced at my cost.
Now in 2020 the vehicle has the same problem, the dealership told me they need to replace the cylinder head again at my cost.
