This car has a terrible transmission issue shuddering and total failure as a car. Ours had been in the shop 6 times all due to issues of some kind in the transmission at least 2 times per each item

2013 Ford Focus SE automatic Hatchback I wish that I had never bought this car. For starters, the average fuel economy is not what Ford advertises. My average MPG is 32 hwy at 69mph. The best was 36mpg with a tail wind. I can live with the poor fuel economy...but the deciding factor for me to get rid of this car is the Torturous seats !! The seats are rock hard ! They feel like you're sitting on a park bench ! The padding in the seats is very minimal. Push down 1/2 inch and you can actually feel the metal framework of the seat. The very design of the seats are not ergonomic. The front of the seats are tilted in a way that if you stretch out, the back of your legs will begin to hurt

If you want an automatic DO NOT buy this vehicle. Ultimately, I would urge you not to buy this vehicle regardless. 2013 Ford Focus Titanium Auto with only 36,000 miles. It has been plagued with problems since I bought it. Clutch was changed 6 months ago and it's back to acting as it did before. Now it's back at the dealer for the 3rd time because they cannot identify a hum while braking. $900 later it's not the brakes or struts as dealer had indicated. Only thing worse than the quality of the car is the dealer service. Two weeks wait just to look at the car. I've had the same issue with my wife's 2018 Ford Explorer Platinum that cost over $50,000. Service is slow and substandard. No loaner cars. I have four teenage drivers and own six vehicles. I never have issues with the Mercedes, Nissan, Toyota and even the Hyundai. Only the Fords. Will NEVER buy Ford again. Just awful. Waiting for the right moment to unload both of them and that can't get here quick enough.

Listen.. I’m honest and I’m not trying to slander Ford here. But within the first 20,000 miles my TCM (trans control module) needed to be replaced. Which is actually out for a recall and luckily my warranty covered it so I was okay with that. But then my ACM (audio control module) went out.. this is by far the most annoying thing I’ve had to deal with any of my cars. This is not covered on the warranty yet thousands of customers reportedly have had the same issue. Your cars radio will stop working and you get really loud random crackling and popping sounds! This becomes super distracting and it’s scary because you don’t know when it’s going to happen.. I called ford and they said they wanted $150 to diagnose the problem.. okay so I paid it. THEN they tell me it’s the ACM and they want $800 more dollars to replace, install and program it!! Now why should I have to pay for something I didn’t know was defective? It’s also a huge safety hazard when you’re driving!! I’m not the only one with this issues and it SHOULD be covered in the warranty. Anyways.. the controls modules in these vehicles are crap. Don’t buy this car unless you want to deal with shifting issues and radio issues. No help from Ford what so ever. I won’t be buying another.

Not worth the gamble! Sure some of these cars are fine, but there seems to be a high percentage of true lemons. Despite an extensive test drive to stay clear of the bad DCT and all, a few hundred miles later, I seem to be the lucky winner of one of the worst of the worst. This car started going downhill fast once about 4 or 500 miles was put on it. This car is now as loud as a soft top jeep on the highway, and with the dct transmission is one of the poorest driving cars I have EVER experienced. This car is 110% poorly constructed junk. Frankly I would rather walk then drive this loud bucking surging grinding rattling embarrassing piece of excrement. Worst purchase I have ever made.
