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.
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
