Premature Clutch Wear
2015 Ford Focus
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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 was a new divorcee single mom when I bought the car. My dad help me to co sign and I will be grateful, as he has now died. When we bought the car, he told me how Ford is one of the oldest American dealers. He had an old 79 Ford Truck, which he was proud of. I purchased a 2015 Ford Focus SE, it has had tons of recalls, replacements on the clutch, transmission, issues with the AC and so forth. Just recently we went to a funeral and for a moment the car just stopped working out of nowhere, fortunately it started back up, but we noticed bad stuttering issues again and hesitation when you excel on the gas. I am just hoping that these issues can be corrected for once and for all without any more stressful worry every time I get in the car.
