5 months in and 3 trips to the shop later. Got a call today saying one of the clutches for the dual clutch automatic transmission needs to be replaced. Such a disappointment for car that is only 5 months old. The transmission jerks like crazy, shifts are hard and loud. Really disappointed because the engine in this baby is full of life and gas mileage is great! Traded in an 01 Nissan Maxima with no problems to be left stranded while my new car gets repaired. Next time do your research before you make a big purchase.

I bought this car in August 2016 and had to have the transmission taken out and repaired, heat sensor replaced and this week a new water pump put in. I bought this car new because I thought a new one would be dependable. I'm afraid to take any road trips. I'm a retired teacher and was looking forward to road trips. I guess I won't be doing any road trips, I can't afford to get a different car.

I purchased a 2016 Ford Focus on 7/30/2020. And have been having issues with it since. It hasn't been 30 days. It jumps when going from first gear to second gear. Come to find out Ford had a repair recall on the shutter. And now i'm having issues with the clutch. And i'm seeing that Ford has been having a lot of complaints about clutch issues. Ford really need to recall all Ford Focus off the market. To many people are having issues with this make and model. Something has to be done.

Cons: Bought a 2016 Focus S Sedan less than 3 weeks ago. Within the first 400 miles of driving it the passenger side rear wheel cap fell off. This wasn't covered by the warranty. Luckily the parts are so cheaply made that it only costs $36 to replace, although this should not be occurring with a brand new vehicle. Vibrations are also noted in the front seat roof storage panel, possibly from a loose part. Being an S model, the panel is merely for show and has no direct access without taking the entire panel off. An unnecessary feature in my opinion. Acceleration is minimal at best and the rear seats offer little leg room if you are a taller driver. On the manual transmission model the pedals have a cramped feel; the clutch could be offset to the left by 3-4 inches. Pros: Basic model (S trim) still offers Ford Sync and a rear backup system with monitor. Instrument panel is well laid out. Spacious seating in the front if you don't mind compromising for rear seat leg room. Smooth shifting with a manual 5-speed transmission. Fuel efficient for both city and highway driving.
