When test driving this 2014 ford focus i felt the car shudder on take off and when pulling out into traffic hesitation. I asked the salesman about this and just shrugged it off as no big deal. After purchasing the auto i had to return to the dealer in parsons, ks. And was told it was the way i was accelerating. No way there is something wrong with this vehicle. After 3 different returns and work done it still does…

The transmission is constantly slipping and making the car shutter and jerk when accelerating. The vehicle will not accelerate properly at times or will jerk forward suddenly. When in drive the vehicle will roll back slightly if on a small slope or hill. It is not safe. I will have this vehicle for two years this month and it will also be the 5th time i've had to take it in. The last time they replaced my whole…

While commuting to work on the highway and coming to a stop due to traffic the vehicle was hit from behind at appx 50mph. My wife saw the imminent impact a split second before it happened & tried to apply the brakes as hard as possible so as not to hit the car in front of her (appx 20-25 feet away). Nonetheless, the impact was too great. It totally destroyed the rear of our car and blew out the back glass. It also…

I filed a complaint under the mn lemon law due to repeated transmission issues on my car. When driving the vehicle it is quite noticeable that the transmission does not shift properly because it causes the vehicle to shudder when shifting. The vehicle is an automatic transmission, but at times it feels like i'm driving a very sensitive manual transmission and will cause a shudder feeling at shift. I have taken my…

While at a full stop on an incline, my brake pedal went back to a neutral position when i took my foot off, but the car stayed fully stopped. Also, when i go to press the pedal again, it is locked up. It is not locked in any kids of pressed position or falling to the floor, but in a fully unbraked, neutral position. This stayed locked for about 10 seconds before i can finally press it again and resume normal…

After completing a stop, when pressing gas pedal, car/transmission stutters then jerks forward. I've tried accelerating more slowly and then tried it faster with more gas, but it makes no difference. The car won't accelerate fast enough to safely make turns before oncoming traffic. I've had this new car 11 months.

Today i took it to the mechanic from the dealer because i couldn't take the grinding noise any more and thought that maybe something below my car fell off or something. They then tell me that it is my…

The powershift transmission jerks and jolts, especially at take off. I drive locally 95% of the time and this is exacerbating my current medical problems with my neck, head, back and hip. I see now that ford withheld this information about what they called their new and better transmission. Had they told us it does this, we wouldn't have bought it. I knew the day after we got it and i was hurting bad, and the dealer…

The vehicle has problems during initial acceleration from about 10-25 mph range where it exhibits a bucking or vibration. Also, it seems to have problems shifting at times at the right times where you may hear a winding sound, as if it's not getting into the right gear properly. I took it to the dealership and they concede that they have been getting these complaints. They just tried reprogramming as they call it,…
