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.

Car isn't safe to drive. Most of the time the car will not move when you press the gas pedal. You have to put in park and back into drive and hope it moves. Slips shudders and rolls backwards low-speed shuddering and vibration. There is a CSP program. They are 19N08 and 14M02. This is the second time the car is being fixed. Now it been over a month and still waiting for the parts. There is no ETA. There needs to be a better solution from Ford.
