I wish I would've read these reviews before I bought mine. I have a 2014 Ford Focus Titanium. It started shaking, grinding, all sorts of trouble around second gear. I have taken it in 3 times and Ford keeps giving me the run around. I cannot believe they are not making this right. I am in the process of a lemon law complaint. Take my advice - look elsewhere. I wish I would have.

This was my first "new" car purchase; bought it with 14 miles! At first it drives like a dream, but I quickly realized something wasn't right with the transmission. I was told by the dealership twice that there's no recall but there have been many complaints. They reset the computer in the car and sent me on my way each time, stating a new clutch would be needed eventually. The car jerks in stop and go traffic and it's awful! The other day while driving 40-45mph the RPMs shot up to 7000 for no reason, the car didn't actually go faster but you could feel something wasn't right while the car was shifting. It always makes awful grinding noises that you can clearly hear even when you're listening to music. On a positive note the steering and brakes work great, no issues there. Tight handling and stops instantly. The interior is clean and the monitors are nice. I do have issues with my SYNC that's built into the car sometimes. I love the design of the exterior. Great MPG I avg about ~32mpg. Bottom line is I'm in the market to trade in my Focus. It is a nice little starter car, but I can't get past these issues. I wish I would've done more in depth research before my purchase.

The transmission is a pure failure. Shutters like crazy under standard acceleration. The dealership and Ford are reluctant to provide a viable solution to this problem. I fear this car wont last at all. It will literally start shaking itself to pieces. Very dangerous when turning into streets as it just shitters and wont accelerate. During my research I have concluded that most (if not all) of the recent Focus models with auto trans suffer from this horrendous issue. Ford has been less than helpful in getting this straightened out. Very disappointed in the overall performance of this model as the looks and interior are top notch. Just steer clear of this one and save yourself the headache.

I have the same problem with the transmission as all the other 2014 Focus owners. I do not recommend this car to anyone! I know two others that have the same car and both had the same problem! I looked it up online and find this.. Seems to be the norm. POS car and very upset customer. Taking my car back to the dealer today for the 5th time!!!! Trading it in as soon as I can!

totally wish I hadn't bought this and will never buy another car not at least three years old. all these reviews are true. the transmission shakes and jolts horribly and is crazy embarrassing when driving around friends or a date. I've also had three tires blow on mine in the last year and the tire pressure warning will keep coming on. I take it to Ford and they feed me the same crap, "oh not sure why this keeps happening but I'll look it up and for now I reset the warning light and yes, your tires are full so it shouldn't have done this". I mean really? There is no such thing as service or standing behind your product any longer. I am filing a suit as this car is a lemon and I hope a class action comes from it.
