I was driving the ford focus (2015) about 40 m/hr when it suddenly stalled and the transmission started to act weird. Service engine came on and i read the code as p090c. I had to control the car right away as it stalled. Read a lot about this code online and it seems to be a common reported problem with the ford focus, and there is high safety concerns as well as reoccurring issues even after repairs are completed.

When putting my 2015 ford focus in reverse from park it went forward. I repeated this action 3 times before it finally reversed! I could have gone down into a ravine! Took the ford focus to rivertown ford and they had the car for 3 days but could not "duplicate" the complaint so they could not fix it under warranty. Also, the transmission jerks forward when put in motion and shakes when slowing down.

The transmission is shuttering and sometimes makes long hesitations to shift. This is dangerous and needs to be recalled. I took it to tidwell ford in kennesaw, ga and they told me its normal and until a code (wrench) lights on my dash, they cannot do anything. I bought the car with 48k on the mileage and now have 54k. The transmission (powertrain) is warrantied to 60000. I am afraid this is going to be a disaster.…
