Since purchasing my 2015 ford focus brand new in july 2015, i was stonewalled by two dealerships over the clutch shuddering/jerking/jumping issue before a third dealership (in another state!) finally replaced it. Shortly after i had a front cover oil leak that was repaired under warranty. Then, one day i was driving and the lights on the visor and radio controls stopped working, they fixed most of it but the…

Transmission loses power randomly. Also, shifting is jumpy, when going from stop, at times. Have contacted dealer and was told this was common of this particular transmission. This has happened more than once. I am just using today's date as one of many! Started on the first day i had the car.

Recall nhtsa # 15v436 (ford recall #15c06) is on the c-max body control module. This has caused the entire car to not start. It was brought in for service 7/3/17 and i have no updates. The recall was issued 7/1/15 and the car, itself, was purchased the next 8/2015 so it was sold with a known recall and now, 2 years later, it's very concerning that a fix is still not readily available when brought it for service.

A/c not heating properly, dealer says can't find problem, i expect as much for warranty work. Sounds like strange noises under dash.

Car hesitates and does not shift smoothly. Take offs are dangerous because car shifts radically.

The trunk suspensions are not adequate and have allowed the trunk to close on the owners and family members numerous times causing abrasions and hematomas. The dealership service representatives were notified several times, here in kingman, az. Vehicle was purchased, new in eugene, oregon and this problem was evident. "no corrections are available." why?

Takata recall my clutch was messed up in this car when i first leased it from us auto sales back in february 2017 and i had rental for a week only because the warranty covered it. Now the clutch is messed again and i was told i'll have to pay $2000 for it to be fix! Is there anyway you guys can recall my car because i don't have that kind of money to keep spending on this car because the same problem keep occurring.…

Takata recall my transmission has been bad on my 2015 since i purchased it on 10/01/16. I tried telling the manufactures after i drove it around town awhile. It was jerking and wouldn't get power to drive. I've been trying to take it to dealerships for 2 years and they haven't tried fixing it. I would like an arbitration agreement.

Acceleration issues up acceleration it feels as if the ford focus is struggling to accel with worries me since i just bought it no even a week ago. I think ford needs to check in to the multiple different issues being reported about these cars for being basically brand new i should not have issues on acceleration.

Have had my ford focus just over 2 months. When i bought it noticed that it seemed to hesitate with acceleration after i come to a complete stop. Took it back to dealer they assured me that they reset my transmission and everything would be fine. It still has been doing it. Have another appointment with dealership to see what my options are. It does well on the highway but on the street or regular traffic it does it…

A common problem with the front grills coming loos and popping out when driving, creating a safety issue. While the grill is largely cosmetic if it falls out and is run over or hits another vehicle it can pose a safety risk. Noticed this happening on my own car and googled it, hundreds of others have also reported the same issue, no recall or even tsb.

The clutch in the automatic transmission was switched out twice because of its defective performance. I took it back to the ford distributor, where it was purchased and cared for, the 3rd time and it was supposably attended to and corrected by rebooting the computer system. The car shutters and drives poorly. I purchased a brand new titanium, top dollar, and received a lemon that drives terribly. Also, the usb plugs…

After stopping to get gas on i-80 at a service area in indiana with the car in park and not running the engine caught on fire. The car is a new vehicle, still under warranty with about 5,000 miles on it. Ford determined that the fire would not be covered by warranty. They offered no proof, and stated that we could not appeal the case.

I was attempting to cross a busy highway. When i accelerated the gas pedal had to be pushed to the floor in order for the vehicle to respond almost causing me to be hit by oncoming traffic. This sluggishness continued as well as hard jolting forward shifts after initial acceleration and eventually a forward jerking loud downshift noise when stopping. These problems continued, vehicle was taken to dealership. They…

From the very first year that i bought this car, (2015) it has had multiple problems with it; it shakes, shutters, 9even at 40-50 mph) uses way too much gas, it had a badly corroded battery, the clutch and transmission both, had problems and recalls!! I was raised, believing that either ford or chevrolet, were the american cars to own; not anymore, customer service, after the sale, is a joke; both autonation's…
