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.

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!

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 THAT bad

I drive [non-permissible content removed] of my 2014 Focus se sedan, for a while I was doing 600 miles a week commuting, and it is very comfortable and handles well, (stock) The transmission is a bit of a joke but for the most part you get around it, now I haven't had some of the problems other people are having, just the basic shuddering and then some random shifts while driving but nothing horrible. . . yet. It gets great gas mileage and is fun to drive, nimble in traffic and easy to see your surroundings. Waiting for the newest upgrade on the transmission but not real worried yet. 60,000 miles and still happy about my purchase.

I was driving an '08 Crown Vic was happy when I was given a new car. To be specific this car was driven 5 days a week about 5 hours in the city as an unmarked narcotics vehicle. I very rarely "dogged" this vehicle. It first gave me problems at 6,000 miles. It started to slip gears and make grinding noises. I got it towed to the city fleet lot and they took it to the Ford dealership. They replaced a module and I got it back after it was down for 2 weeks. The second time (15,000 miles) was when I was driving in an area of town that is not "officer friendly". It completely stalled in traffic and was towed to the dealership. It took 2 months to diagnose the problem and was fixed after 3 months. The third time was the icing on the cake. (40,000 miles) A shots call fire came out over the radio and PD said there was a victim. I was pretty close so I decided to pull and check either units that were dispatched. I hit the lights and the siren and started to head that way. When I came to a busy intersection (2highways) I cleared half of the intersection then the car stalled. I was left in the middle of the intersection with heave traffic coming right towards me. After this incident I told my supervisors that I would not be driving this vehicle and that they can put me in the oldest vehicle in the fleet but I am not driving that POS car. The city has auctioned it of and I feel sorry for whoever bought it. I hope they will be safe.
