2013 Ford Focus SE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful
GRINDING TRANSMISSION. ROLLS BACK. In the shop as we speak....A.C. COMPRESSOR ORDERED, TO BE REPLACED. This is a brand NEW, 2013 Ford Focus SE. God, why didn't we research?? First were interested in Escape and Fusion,2013 models. We spoke to General Sales manager, after getting nothing but the company spiel from lease salesman. Bottom line : Transmission guy will take a look at Focus on Monday. We DO NOT want this car. Ford official stand is all the grinding, rolling backwards, etc is normal...Handles different, drive it 6 months, get used to the car.
Worst car ever

2013 Ford Focus Titanium 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6AM)

Had a 2013 Ford Focus Titanium for 2 years and had nothing but problems. It started when it felt like it, was stranded many times and had to have it towed, Ford said they had never heard of this problem, not true, then it started shuddering, back to the shop, manager had never heard of this problem before...replaced the TCM. Shuddering again and the clutch was replaced. Was driving on the interstate when it suddenly lost power then surged forward, scared me to death, the 02 sensor needed to be replaced, when the mechanic....not Ford....took the 02 sensor out it was burnt. Then the engine light came on and the convertor was in trouble. Mechanic...not Ford, said he could clear the code and if it were him get it traded in NOW!! 2 days later we traded it in for a Hyundai, I slept like a log that night in total peace. Got $7500 towards a trade in and figured that was not that bad considering these cars have depreciated so badly. Do yourself a favor and trade the car in as there is no fix for the issues, it will be one thing after another and you'll spend thousands just trying to get it on the road. Never had such problems with a vehicle before, shame on Ford as they know these are faulty transmissions.

This is a great second car. Driving it made me realize that all cars will be electric sooner than you think.

One of the happiest days of my life, getting rid of this piece! I had the transmission replaced 5 times. It continuously tore holes in the oil tank, so that was replaced too. But don't worry, Ford will give you a 100,000 mile warranty and replace it over and over because they acknowledge that their engineering is below standard. It's really fun to drive along with the transmission jerking you around. And, you never know how the car will take off from a stopped position, so many surprises in an accident just waiting to kill someone. The navigation starts about 5 minutes after you need it to. Once, I was in a parking lot, clicked the unlock button on the key fob, and the car began to make a lovely loud sound just like that of a boiling kettle. Everyone in the parking lot ran because we were sure that car was about to blow up. I bought the car brand new but have learned the valuable lesson; never buy a Ford!

I test drove 2013 leaf a few time and did not like the drive dynamics of that and its power with smaller electric motor. The focus has bigger electric motor or 143HP vs 105HP of nissan but yet it has the same range as nissan (76 vs 75 miles). The drive dynamic and cornering are both solid, reminds me of the 3 series. My other car is a 535 xdrive so this is mostly for commute and free charge at work lots of location in Bay area, CA. Both the interior build and cabin noise are much better quality than Nissan Leaf but either one you can't go wrong with a lease deal. I'm getting the 240v installed at home for $1000 from a slingshot company flat rate.
