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.
Bought this car brand new in August 2016 . While backing up, myself and a coworker noticed my engine making a loud noise. When getting into gear to drive forward, it sounds just as bad, and feels rough. Getting the car into the shop to see what they can do to fix this.
