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.

My transmission has been giving me a hard time and it doesn't get any power. It also runs very rough. I have to travel 45 minutes to a motor company but they don't fix it because it's a "takata recall" I don't want to get stranded and broken down on the highway. I need a dependable car because I'm disabled. I want my car fixed or a new one asap. I noticed the problems when I was driving it in motion right as soon as I purchased it on 10/2016 in city limits.

October 15 2015 I bought a Ford Focus 2015 S 4dr from the dealership. Right away had issues with it stalling and shorting out the computer and keeping a charge. However on January 4th 2018, I was sideswiped going 45 mph and collided into a tree and a few other vehichles also. I sustained serious injuries due to none of my airbags deploying. The car was deemed a total loss and I still am paying on this vehicle. Ive noticed many similar models having similar concerns, however my specific VIN states its not involved in any recalls.
Gas gadget (and miles) will read 1/2 tank (200 or so mile) and with no warnings stall (turn off) even once putting gas in vehicle hard to get it started!also air bag light is on (most the time) engine light is on. The rear passenger door has to be "slammed" or closed hard in order to latch. I bought this car as first owner in 2015! very disappointed! I have had this vehicle turn off on me at least 5 times even with my disable son with me, I could have been hit and we could've been hurt or worse!
I own a 2015 Ford Focus and a 2016 Ford Focus both were in an accident. The 2015 Ford Focus was T-boned. I got injured and there was no deployment of the air bags. The 2016 Ford Focus was rear - ended and I sustained additional injuries and the air bags did not deploy either. The T-bone I was entering the intersection on a green light. The 2016 I was stopped and a car in front of me making a left turn when someone slammed into me doing 35 miles per hour. Both times neither air bags deployed. The 2015 sustained over 10,000 in damage it is the red vehicle had a broken tie rod as well as injuries.
At approximately 45 miles and hour going thru a green light I was cut off by someone making a left in front of me. 9600$ worth of front end damage and the passenger hit her head causing a concision and sprained neck and back, wearing her seatbelt, I believe her injuries happened because no airbags deployed
