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.

Update from Apr 12, 2017: to all ford focus owners from 2014 to present please check the roof rail above drivers door for roof indents they are hard to spot unless your looking for them.

they seem to come to light after standing in full sun light.

if you find any please report them to your ford dealer .

i have been in touch with ford because i found them on my 2016 focus and on the focus before 2015 ford have said its a customer fault but i have found 7 other focus cars on a dealer ship fourcourt in norwich. ford said they are closeing the case as they have not had any other complaints from coustomers.

so if you spot any please report them to ford many thanks
