My 2015 Ford Focus started shuddering in its shifting about a a year after I got the car used in 2018, it's alot worse now. I've taken it to the Ford dealership twice and was refused...they did a reset of some sort before they test drove it and it didnt seem to shudder like it does with me, the Ford employee explained to me my car didnt quite meet the mark to where they can offer me the repair. After this I thought alright he reset something and now my car is a little better...couple hundred miles later it's back real bad from start till 3rd gear every gear shuddering and studdering jumping shaking violently, I took it back to them, samething...if I do this again I'll get it in writing that Ford states my vehicle is fine and go ahead and get a lawsuit going.

The transmission is not shifting gears properly. We took it to the mechanic and he said that it is a computer problem. The only thing that can solve the problem is a master reset. The mechanic said that that it is not something that can be fixed and the vehicle should be recalled.

Car will lurch and shutter from takeoff proceeding throughout 1st to 2nd gear and from 2nd into 3rd, also while accelerating after slowdown while either in traffic or while accelerating out of corners. When shifting into reverse from a complete stop the car will sometimes not engage reverse and seem to catch neutral and just rev and roll backward or forward depending on incline. The car will sometimes catch reverse after a few seconds of revving, other times I have to shift into neutral and back into reverse for it to engage the gear

The transmission on my car has been occasionally stuttering and overheating at low speeds and high speeds. Ford has an extended /tsb for the transmission regarding the very same problem. However they refuse to service my car even though it fall within the mileage and year. Reason is because the car was involved in an accident last year which had nothing to do with the drivetrain and they have cancelled all warranties regarding the car.

I was sold a 2015 Ford Focus SE sedan from a Ford dealership. I didn't know about the on going lawsuit. Tell the year after when the transmission started to act up. Now as of 11/14/20 the steering assit which is electric stop working in mid drive. And it hard to steer the car. After checking the web about this I found out there was a massive recall on the Focus's for the steering assit. The dealer service guy is telling me there was no recall. I found on line tonight that the statue of limitations states that the recall stays open for eight years. It's only been 5 yrs. Since the call was built. The service guys want $2,200 the replace the steering assit. I don't get that much on disability. Please please help me.

- Oro Valley, AZ, USA

Continuous repairs for the transmission and still having issues. There is no confirmation a fix has been manufactured, thus leaving one to believe defective parts are being replaced by more defective parts. Clutch slips, will sporadically jerk upon accelerating from dead stop or quickly needing to brake. Failure to increase speed upon accelerating. Shudders with (non-sudden) braking. Date noted on bottom is approximate guess on when issue was first reported and told "this is normal" by Ford (prior to class action lawsuit that has taken place).
