Transmission is so faulty. Car has ZERO get up and go, and often times it shutters upon acceleration. I've had this car since 2015 and have taken it in 10 times for the same exact thing. PLUS my warranty has been extended multiple times. Nothing good about this car is worth the hassle of the transmission and acceleration issues. Ford should have reimbursed everyone they sold it to, thank go they're done making sedans.

I had my Focus for 2 years. It began to shudder and shake when I accelerated about 1 year in. I have had so many other problems with it and I never wanted to drive anywhere because of it!

But this car new clutch going out before I make the first payment for told me that they were going to eventually make a better clutch that they would guarantee to fix it will absolutely not do a buyback or not do right by the car, Now on for clutches and 89,000 miles trade-in value is only $5000 and I owe 6100 no more repairs on the clutch after 100,000 miles and I’m getting really close so I’m upside down in the car and still paying on it for it is a joke they mess me around through this whole ordeal should’ve been the lemon law but they danced around that you should’ve sued them along time ago I would never buy another Ford as long as I live I’m so upset that I’ll probably call them tomorrow to complain about it some more Don’t care about their customers only care about their deep pockets
192,000 miles and still kicking

This has been the perfect car for my driving habits. 80-90% highway miles. The dual clutch transmission took some getting used to, but has held up nicely; albeit mostly highway miles. Engine runs like a champ. The car averages ~38 mpg on the highway and 36 in the city. Mpg is less in the winter, ~3-5 mpg. My biggest complaint is that the radio went out after 5 years; sounds like a common problem from focus forums. I removed the rear seat head rests because the hinder my vision out the back window. The car cabin can be a bit noisy at highway speeds, and watch out when/if you lower your windows while driving as you can cause some pretty deafening air turbulence inside the cabin. Overall I am very pleased with the vehicle and aiming for 250,000 miles.

2014 Ford Focus Titanium 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6AM)

I actually purchased two Ford Focuses (or is that Foci ;) - one in 2012 and another (Ford Focus Titanium) in 2014. At first, I was impressed with the advanced technology, modern styling and excellent fuel economy. However, over time, mechanic issues developed with both cars. For both cars, the transmission was faulty and we had to bring them in to the dealer a couple of times for a "fix". With our newer car, the radiator spontaneously failed after only 3 years while driving down the highway to visit my granddaughter's 1st birthday. This left us stranded and we had to stay in a hotel overnight. Plus it cost us $800 to repair and we nearly missed the party. There were other more minor issues as well such as the window trim frequently falling down or leaks around the sun roof. I was really hoping that Ford had gotten its act together and that I could proudly buy American once again but this experience has left me skeptical. I will not be buying a Ford again anytime soon.

Love the style and look of this car. However, the transmission is junk and ford knows it and won’t support their customers. I’ve been a ford owner for 20 years, bought my daughter a 2014 Ford Focus. It was the perfect little vehicle… until it wasn’t. Both of the automatic clutches went out in 2019. Ford repaired it through the recall because it was defective. Now 3 years later both clutches went out again… and Ford said it’s no longer their issue. I have never in my life replaced a clutch on an automatic vehicle, let alone twice in 3 years. Ford knows this is an issue because there was a $30m class action lawsuit based on this issue. I now have a 3000 lb paperweight, and my daughter is left without a car. I’ve been a lifelong loyal ford customer, but this experience has left me thoroughly disgusted.

Factory rear rotors need replacing at 20kmiles, front brakes need replacing at 30kmiles, valve cover leak at 30kmiles, O2 sensor at 35kmiles, another O2 sensor and throttle position sensor at 40kmiles, main wiring harness at 41kmiles. Any time it rains or snows it's a crap shoot what's going to fail next. Factory tires were junk at 25kmiles. Stearing requires constant input to keep the car straight. Gas mileage not great, averaging around 32mpg, all high way. My car is a manual so I don't have the trans issues every one else has. My previous 2 fords were nothing but problems, thought this one would be different. I was sadly mistaken. Now throwing codes for transmission fault and hood is starting to rust. At 70kmiles.
