Engine Stalls, Hard To Start After Fueling
2016 Ford Focus
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Ford dealer.
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.

I just bought this car in May, I wanted to drive UBER but when it started acting up I got reluctant. Its never left me stranded but it has stalled out right after dropping off some riders. One night it stalled out in the driveway and wouldn't restart the check engine light came on. I went out the following day and it was hard to start and it sputtered to a start but started and NO check engine light. It pisses me off. Without this car I have no job and s*^& rolls down hill. Ford knows this car is seriously flawed and does nothing about it.
