The car shudders, jerks and slips out of gear ... Ford won't do it and let me buy the car without saying a word even though they knew the hundreds of complaints and lawsuits they have had in the past. *tr

It is burning oil and or losing it somewhere that isn't visible. It also has had…

Several times the sun roof intermittently does not close. Once it's open, it will either not stay open or will not close at all. It repeatedly opens and closes over and over and stops when the sun roof is open. Sometimes after 10 or twenty times it stops at open position or it will close. There is no way to close it unless trying over and over until it finally closes. Sometimes it will not close at all no matter how…

I purchased a 2014 ford focus back on april 24, 2014. I took my car to crown ford service department for the second time on 9/02/14 to be service for shuddering, loss of power, passenger window wouldn't let down, it rolls backwards on incline with automatic transmission, and has this grinding noise. Ford was saying this is normal, if this is the new normal, then i pass on purchasing a ford. I feel this car is…

I have had my focus in to be repaired four times for the clutch plate assembly shuddering/jumping/hesitating upon starting up from a stopped position.the last time it was in was march of 2016, and is now doing the same thing in june 2016. This was first noticed at 12000 miles, but not addressed until the milage was 15500. This disqualified it for the buy back with ford through the bbb autoline. The clutch plate has…

While cruising at a steady 65mph in rush hour traffic on the interstate my vehicle unexpectedly went into what the ford dealer later called "limp mode." the car lost almost all its power and at first seemed to be stalled. I was unable to accelerate and the speed gradually dropped. There were tractor-trailers merging onto and off the interstate, and i had a fearful sensation of going up under one. There was too much…

Ford focus st 2014 on hot / humid day when you start the car up the engine revs will drop to <500 rpm and the engine will shutter or completely stall. In addition, while travelling at speeds 10-20 mph when the clutch gets pushed in the engine will hunt idle from xrpm and drop to <500rpm rapidly and the car will shutter or completely stall. I have been driving my car down the road and had it completely stall while…

Vehicle is equipped with ford's 'automatic/manual hybrid' transmission. Vehicle began stuttering about a month after purchasing. Purchased vehicle brand new in january with 44 miles on it. When accelerating from full stop, vehicle shudders as if there were issues with the air intake, fuel, or transmission. Took vehicle back to two separate ford dealerships (including where vehicle was purchased) and was told that…

[redacted] with manual transmission when decelerating to a stop sign or stop light (approx 20-10 mph), and engaging the clutch to coast with the car in neutral, the car will almost stall (drops to about ~500 rpm) and then the engine "catches itself" and will rev to 1000-1200 rpm before settling back to a normal 700-800 rpm idle. This happens at random, but "ac/on" also increases likelihood of occurrences. This…

Trouble with the dual clutch automatic transmission from the first day of ownership. The car now has 6k miles and the problems persist. The following problems are even worse during cold weather: the transmission shifts poorly, roughly, misses shifts, chooses the wrong gear for the vehicle speed, disengages and sends the engine to redline then drops into gear with a bang and either slows the vehicle with engine…
