Used 2014 Ford Focus Consumer Reviews
Death trap
This is the 3rd focus I have bought and by far the worst... it shuts off while driving usually in a snow storm where there’s no safe place to pull off... it’s been to the dealer numerous times and they just basically put a bandage on.... same issue happens over one over... because of this I will NEVER deal with any ford again I will take my business elsewhere... extremely disappointed... I can’t even give the car away nor would I want anyone else to drive it....this car needs to be smashed and never driven again!!!!

Never Again
Same transmission problems as other reviewers. I grew to really hate the car and the end result is that I will never buy/lease another Ford product. Lease was up in March of '17 so I turned it in and now drive a 2017 Hyundai Sonata which I love.

Hope they improve over the base
This model was a basic, however by 50k miles was showing tranmission issues. Could be a lemon could be beaten up by another driver. However this model slipped in and out of drive and reverse. Performance was bad because the transmission slipped. Once the transmission caught up it was decent in preformance. Other then some issues this vehicle may have been a nice vehicle. Ample interior space, decent seats, good size trunk, and easy to drive.
Not up to par with imports
Lot of recalls, from door latch to transmission . Had catalytic converter stop up...left me walking at 30000 miles. Quite cheap interior, awful venting, factory radio poor. Exterior paint is easily chipped. Good points, better than advertised gas mileage, good performance for a 4 cylinder, great handling, as good...better than my old Mach 1. On another factory recall, which might involve two trips to the dealer. A bit ridiculous. I believe a Nissan or Kia will be in my future. The Focus is a disappointment.

My first and last FORD product
I currently have a 2014 Ford Focus. This car has given me problems since the first month I purchased it. I purchased it with 14 miles on it. I took it back to the dealership with 1000 miles on it as it was jerking really bad. It acted as though I was driving a really bad stick shift car, I was not. The service folks told me this is how the Ford Focus functions. I took it back again at approximately 20,000 miles, the issue continued to get worse. The shaking, the stuttering, the slow take off. Again, the service guys told me this is how the Ford Focus functioned. I knew something wasn't right. Now, they tell me at 65K miles, the clutch is bad and needs to be replaced. Ford is NOT taking responsibility for their awful transmission issues. This problem began from the very beginning. I purchased this car for my 16 year daughter. I will no longer allow her to drive this car as it may quit on her at any moment. I wonder if the President of FORD or the Ford dealership would purchase this vehicle for their daughter? I would say, they would not. I do not recommend anyone purchase this vehicle as Ford nor the dealership will stand behind you. When you go to trade, they don't want to give you anything for the car as they know it is not worth a dime. Never again will I purchase a FORD vehicle. It’s back in the shop today! Horrible car. Worse purchase ever!
