My vehicle had been brought in for transmission issues before for slipping, and delay when the gas is depressed. Since the repair i've noticed the car's transmission while put in reverse will feel like it slips into neutral. It happened while i was backing into my parking spot in my apartment complex. The transmission is also very jerky when accelerating on an incline and will start to roll backwards. This was also…

Takata recall the vehicle shutters on take off as well as it doesn't shift so the engine just revs till you take your foot off the gas and try to get it to shift like that. The clutch has gone bad on all vehicles so it keeps doing it and gets worse and unsafe to drive on freeway and on regular roads because it looses power when it shutters. It does it when turning as well as even just being at a stop light and…

The car stutters to start moving. The transmission is stuck. It takes a lot of rpm to get the car moving from a stop or start. I have had an episode where the car accelerated on it's own. Took it to the dealership they are aware of the stuttering and are doing nothing for that. They can find no reason my car took of on its own. I feel that the defect in the transmission they know about. And will do nothing about it.…

Well on february 18, 2017 i purchased a 2014 ford focus se from lewis toyota in topeka, ks. The car i traded in, (2004 lexus) i told them how unhappy i was because the gentleman who sold it to me said he did a car fax on it but did not. I should have asked for a copy. There was a major recall on it! Since 2011. I purchased it in 2016. Well the 2004 ford focus has an open recall. It is against the law so i was told…

Good afternoon, my family and i have a 2 year old 2014 ford focus that we bought brand new off the lot to avoid the problems associated with used cars. 2 weeks ago in the middle of the highway the vehicle began to shudder and lose power and then eventually turned off while in motion. We had the vehicle towed to the dealership and quickly began to try and figure out what is going on. A quick google search revealed we…

The 2014 ford focus only has one door lock/unlock button which is located on the front middle panel near the radio controls. There are no manual lock/unlock mechanisms on any of the doors - if a crash occured, how would anyone in the back seat be able to get out if the driver is unable to push the button for them? That seems like an unsafe decision for a vehicle made for multiple passengers. Second, occasionally…

I bought the vehicle in 2014 new. A little less than a year after i had the car, i started having problems with the sync system that allows me to use my cell phone hands free. It will stay paired with my phone for about 3 to 4 weeks and then will drop the connection with my phone. I have had it in to the dealership 5 times and the problem is still not fixed. I have been in contact with the regional manager of ford…

I was driving in stop and go traffic and a notice came up on the screen that my transmission was hot and that i needed to stop for 5 min. I pulled over and stopped for 5 min. And began driving again, and within 5 min. The notice came back on and it smelled like fire. So i pulled over and let the car idle until traffic was gone and then since traffic was done, the notice never came back up.

We are afraid to drive this vehicle as we have taken it in many times for shaking and vibrating that occur at about 1.75 rpm. The vehicle feels as if it is shaking so hard that you let off the gas and attempt to gain speed again but slower. This does not resolve the problem. The motor mounts were replaced, the transmission was taken apart and checked and the vehicle still does this to the extent that i use a second…

The ford focus stutters when taking off. Everytime i go to get on highway it wont accelerate and shakes. It's scary i always feel like it will cause an accident and ford service shops refuse to do anything about it even though my vehicle has been under warranty.

Transmission "stutters" and car shakes when accelerating - especially from a stop. The last couple of weeks, the rpms accelerate when driving; however, the car feels like it is in neutral. When accelerating - especially from a stop - the car "hesitates" and doesn't accelerate immediately. These problems have happened continuously since i bought the car in september, 2015, and occur at varying speeds.

When pressing the gas pedal, it shakes and hesitates and jumps/shutters for several seconds until it gets up to a certain speed. This happens on the highway and basically everywhere i am starting from a complete stop. It has also started hesitating when put into gear. My son drives this car sometimes and i'm afraid for his safety because you don't know if it's going to go or not when you pull off from a stop.
