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

The Transmission shakes at low speed. The trim and seats are already showing signs of deep wear after a year. This is a cheaply made car. Do not recommend at all. The transmission was repaired under the recall. still do not recommend this car to anyone.

Roller Coaster

The transmission is horrible. They said it wouldn't be so jumpy after 1,000 miles. Well...now that I'm at 4,000 I feel like I'm riding on a roller coaster. I work a lot and now I have to find time to take it back again and have them figure it out. If they can't figure it out, it will become property of Ford. I can't wait for my lease to be up.

Terrible Transmission

2014 Ford Focus SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

I'm usually not one to write a review on anything, but I just couldn't get over the terrible transmission on the 2014 Ford Focus automatic. I am at 12.5k miles, and the jerking/shaking between 1st and 2nd gear is consistently getting worse. I first noticed it around 5-7k miles and thought it was just in my head, but a few thousand miles later it was obvious to anyone riding along. From an outside perspective, I must look like a man who can't drive a manual car. The car jerks the worst if I'm starting out from an incline. Once I get to 2nd gear the car seems fine, but living in a city with many stops, it is very uncomfortable. If only I had read some of these reviews earlier.
