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.

After only 60K miles the car would not start or show any gear on the selector. all lights and gauges showed up.Sent to car to a Ford dealer who said the found metal shavings in the transmission and the clock gears were jammed. I called several other Ford dealers in surrounding states and they all quoted the same price + or - $200.00
