Purchased a 2014 ford focus in august 2015, for our daughter who is currently away to college. She states that the car "shudders" all the time when being driven. As a parent this is a huge concern, i investigated the ford focus and it didn't take long at all to determine that there are several thousand others in the same condition, as stated earlier our daughter is away at college so it is impossible for us to take…

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.

I purchased this vehicle from a reputable dealership in town as a used vehicle but with only 20k miles on it. The dealership refused to let me test drive it on the highway citing dealership rules. Everything seemed to work fine. One week after getting car home it began shuddering and failing to accelerate only to rapidly shift gears once it figured out what it wanted to do. When trying to enter highway the car would…

They are telling us almost 2 months later that it is…

Especially after spending appx $1300.00 to get this repaired and supposedly 100% fixed. Completely unacceptable-…

Ford focus has had transmission replaced, and it still shakes, jerks, shudders, etc. What ford knowingly did is outrageous. I bought my car brand new. This has been an ongoing issue and i don't feel safe driving my car.

Car jerks and shakes. Especially when taking off or on turning vehicle jerks badly. I understand that is when automatic transmission is trying to shift gears. I have had the clutch replaced once already. This causes a huge danger to me because if i would like to try to make a left turn in front of traffic i never know if my car will go or resist. Sons days are so bad that i just give up driving because it feels as…
