CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Ford Focus & its "Powershift" transmission has a defect trend where the car shudders when accelerating, especially when starting uphill.
Most owners have reported their Ford Focus remains driveable while the vehicle is still at low mileage, but the shuddering is annoying & unpleasant & may reduce the resale value of the vehicle.
However, owners of higher-mileage vehicles from earlier 3rd generation Focus model years report transmission failure & a host of other major & expensive transmission-related problems. Potential buyers beware.

Unbelievable!!! In October of '21, with 64K on the car, the timing belt decided it was done without any warning whatsoever completely grenading the motor leaving my elderly parents and my 4yr old daughter on the side of the dark highway. After a ton of trouble and misinformation about what all was covered, the engine gets replaced in whole.
This week, with less than 26K on the new motor, we started getting misfire codes. I replaced the plugs but noticed it was guzzling coolant and no sign of any leaking. Finally today with my 74yr old mother driving, it decides to die at a major intersection in rush hour traffic. Fortunately, the fire fighters who were stuck behind her got her off the road. Fearing the worst, I pulled the plugs to scope the cylinders and I found out where the coolant was going.
Cracked head at 26K is nonsense!!!
