In July purchased a new 2013 Focus standard transmission. I traded the car in and took a $3,000.00 lose, but worth it. commute 200 KMs daily and when the car was at 1600 KM I heard a clunk while on the HWY in 5th gear doing over 100 KM an hour. The car would not accelerate over 80 KM, the dealer looked it over and said nothing is wrong. A few weeks later sitting on the HWY stopped behind other vehicles and tried to accelerate into the right lane. The car chugged and almost stalled, this has happen a few times. I have an open CSR with Ford and they told me to leave the car with them for the week. I was told they couldn't find anything so I took a mechanic out for a drive. The issue happened, I am told this is normal traction control stop the C

We have owned the Focus for one month and it has proven to be a great car to this point. We have had none of the transmission problems we read about in other reviews. The vehicle we have was manufactored in December of 2012. The car is very responsive and has very good fuel mileage and is near the advertised MPG. The controls are easy to reach and clearly displayed. Ours does not have the navigation system, but all other functions have had no problems.
I will never buy another Ford product.

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

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.
