I bought my vehicle in 2013, new from the local dealership. After owning the vehicle for a few days we noticed the shuddering on acceleration. Immediately called the dealership and was told this was break in time. A few months into owning the vehicle, the transmission failed, we brought it into the local ford dealership again, and had the transmission flushed and work done to it. Since then the vehicle has been to…

When you turn on the headlights or if you turn on the front windshield wipers, the instrument cluster gauges, get "very dim". When the head lights are turned to off, all of the gage lights get brighter. This makes it very difficult to drive and see the speedometer during the daytime. I would like to drive with my running lights "on" during our travels in the daytime. But the gauges get to dim to read in the…

The same week i purchased my new ford focus, the transmission started to shudder upon acceleration but it wasnt every time i drove it. It would do it for a day or two then stop for several weeks or even months. Then it started doing it every time i drove it.. I contacted ford, took it in and they told me they fixed it. It appeared to be fixed for a while then started doing the same thing again. Once again, i took it…
