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.

As soon as I bought this ford it was a problem, it would not climb hills without dying out in 3rd gear. took it in 4 times once was a week. I missed my granddaughters track meet because it could not climb. now it has no power to glimpse any hill safely, it's a lemon.
