Mechanically This car is a piece of crap! DO NOT BUY THIS CAR RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM IT!!!
What Ford doesn't Tell you about the transmission

I've replaced the clutch in my car twice and the transmission module once. I had it back in today because the same problems arose. The guys that was helping me was really great but I asked him if the problem was solved and if I would ever have to bring it back in. He told me that the replacement part that Ford made for the clutch, they just made the materials softer so after about another 20,000 to 30,000 miles the same problems will arise again. Additionally, Ford will not replace the clutch after your car reached 100,000 miles. So if you get a clutch replaced at 80,000 miles and it goes out when your car hits 102,000 miles you will have to pay to replace it. It sounds like a cheap design job to me and that Ford to looking for an easy way out of owning up to their mistake. I would never recommend this car to anyone.

Purchased the Focus Hatchback 2013 in Jan. and was very pleased with everything for the first week but the second week it began making noises upon acceleration and continued to get worse. Brought it into the Dealership and they said I needed to drive it till the 1,000 mile mark. The noise cont. so I brought it back at 1000 miles and Ford stated that this is occuring with other 2013 Focus and

Have had the Focus Hatchback for 2 months and was very pleased with everything for the first week but by the second week it was making noise when accelerating and cont. to get worse. I brought the car to the Dealership and they said they could not do anything till 1000 miles. I brought it back at 1000 miles but Ford says this problem is occuring on the 2013 Focus but the engineers do not know what the problem is so they can not fix it yet. They returned the car to me and told me to keep driving until the problem is fiqured out. This makes me very nervous, what could happen to it next. I would think about another car until they have fiqured these quirks out.
Weird Transmission

Ford tells me the unique characteristics of this car's transmission are normal. Normal should not mean it makes crunching noises or does not know when to switch gears, roll backwards or jerks. And fuel mileage is not what it should be and I suspect partly due to the transmission. That part is just a guess I will admit. Traded this car a few days ago for a Civic.

I sold a 2011 Grand Caravan because my wife's Taurus X was falling apart and we needed to use my van as a down payment. We traded the focus on another Grand Caravan. It served its purpose as my daily driver and we even use it for family vacations with 3kids under 6. We have learned how to pack light. It gets 38-40 hwy mpg easy. I usually get 32 around town. For that I'm grateful. However, the issues with the transmission are true. It will act like it's stalling out every so often when shifting between 1st and 2nd. It also has a popping sound in the front left suspension at low speeds. This is "normal" according to Ford. Everytime I asked them to listen to to it I walk away with the same prob
