CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2015 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.

I have been hearing this knocking when I back up and turn the wheel either way. I hear it and so do my passengers when I am at a stop and proceed to turn in traffic. It is a knock that concerns me because something more serious can be wrong. My car is almost 2 years old and has only 15,000 miles on it. The first time I took it into Ford the service tech could not hear it. I went for a drive with the service manager and it didn't happen. When I drove away and down the street it started up again and hasn't stopped. Now I have to take more time to have this looked at and hoping they will hear it. When I googled the problem I am having I found similar complaints and Ford says they haven't heard anything about this. I find that hard to believe. Has anyone experienced this problem?
