TRASHY TRANSMISSION! Shift Away from the Focus!

I bought my 2017 Focus SEL in June of 2017. It's a pretty little car with a sporty feel and solid gas mileage, though it was an adjustment for me coming out of a Fusion. I was pretty happy with my car for a year, then everything went to hell in a handbasket! I took my car in for slipping transmission in June of 2018, they replaced the clutch. I drove it on a 1000+ mile road trip in June, then again in late July. By September, it was back at the dealership for transmission problems and rough idle. They replaced the clutch AGAIN and had the nerve to tell me that the transmission only has problems in hot climates! Guess they think all women are totally ignorant about cars. They also...get this...replaced the bushings on the motor mounts, which they said were the problem with the rough idle. So far, the rough idle has not reappeared, so the motor mounts may have been the problem. BUT...at just under 36,000 miles??? WHERE are these parts coming from, the salvage yard? I'm really disgusted with this car, primarily because Ford KNOWINGLY continues to put this trashy transmission in the Focus. They obviously don't care AT ALL about their loyal customers. Have they forgotten that there ARE other car manufacturers? So, this is the nail in the coffin of my relationship with Ford...I have had my car back for less than 2 weeks and already it's back to its' same transmission antics. Please, think twice...think 10 times...before buying a Focus with an automatic/manual mess of a transmission.

clutch issues 2017 ford focus

I bought the top of the line Ford Focus. Had a 2015 Ford Focus and had clutch issues. Decided to upgrade because of the clutch issues ( class action lawsuit is present on 2013-2016) I was assured the 2017 had a different clutch system. I was lied to. I now will be bringing the car back to the dealer again for the same issue. Ford never fixed the issue and still selling faulty clutches in their new cars. I will now never buy a Ford. I thought I was buying an American Car, do your research! It will cost thousands of dollars to get it fixed if not under warranty.
Promised no issues with a 2017, issues Fixed.

I had a focus hatchback 2014 and had horrible clutch problems which took Ford over a year to fix. They ended up putting a new clutch in. I felt the car was a lemon and was scared to commute with it so I traded it with 64k miles on it for a 2017 Focus SE. I didn't want another Focus after the issues I had with the 2014. Well at 31k a little over a year of having the car, I had to take it in because the car would shake when shifting or slowing down plus it was dripping oil. (puddle on my garage floor). The dealer had it about a week and told me they had to replace the clutch. (Same as the 2014) So I let them know how upset I was because this is why I didn't want to buy another focus. I was assured when I purchased the "17 I would not have the problems the '14 had. WRONG! This week at 32k my car is going back into the Ford dealer to be repaired because it is now shifting before it should and is very noisy and sluggish when it does so. After having a tech in the car to see what I was talking about they said they may have to replace part of the exhaust. The car only has 32K on it. I am not happy at all. The only positive is the gas mileage. I get about 36 in the summer commuting. Which is way better then the Fusion I has in 2011 but so many more headaches. The car handles the snow amazing for a front wheel drive but only after installing snow tires. This may be my last Ford ever. Not happy with them at all. Update 2021 I still have my 2017 Focus and now that the bugs are worked out I like it. The gas mileage is amazing. I get 35 in the coldest of Wisconsin temps -30 and some. In the summer it gets almost and can get 40. Snow tires make the car handle blizzard conditions fantastic with traction control turned off. I hate traction control in snow. It has pulled threw snow I thought for sure I would be stuck in. Great car now that things are fixed. I have 100,000 plus on it. UpDate: I currently have almost 170K miles. I love this car. It still gets about 35 mpg with freeway in cold weather. -0 it gets about 32-34 mgp. It is March 2023 and I am getting 37-almost 40 on trips. I commute about 40 miles one way daily to work. I wish Ford would still make this car for commuting. I cannot find anything I want to replace it with as I look now that I am fast approaching 200K.

Another Ford, Another Faulty Transmission

This will be my 3rd Ford in under 10 years that I have had the clutch replaced 2-3 times before 35k miles. From my previous Fiestas and now the Focus, transmission started presenting hesitation or slipping of the clutch, particularly in gears 1-3. First two cars Ford decided to recall and later warranty the transmission up to 100k. I'm out of luck with the 2017 Focus as Ford has yet to recall for the same issues all the previous years have had. Aside from never having issues with bluetooth connectivity and the Sony sound system, I would never purchase a Ford product ever again and if I hadn't gotten stuck with some negative equity in the previous vehicles due to Ford putting out a product that they knew was defective, I wouldn't have purchased two more as means of trying to get out from under a lemon.

Bought my 2017 Ford Focus car at Enterprise Car Sales in Milwaukee, and I test drove it was fine, 6 days later I felt the shaking and called ECS back and they told me to bring it in, they told me to take to their mechanic OB, and I did they said it was some switch, and it needed to go to the Ford Dealership, took it to them they said it was the clutch, so they are going to replace it under my warranty. So if you are considering buying a used Ford Focus do your due diligence, and Research, make sure you get a good warranty.

I got a great deal on my 2017 Focus SEL new back in September of 2017, and I’ve now got nearly 30000 miles on it. It’s a great little car with excellent handling and a smooth highway drive. Also, I love the Sync 3 system with Apple CarPlay. I’ve had a few instances where audio will cut out but a reset of the system seems to solve the issue most of the time. The back seat is a bit small though. Now for the question everyone talks about - the transmission. It’s a dual clutch transmission which is basically a manual automatically controlled by a computer. As such, it needs to be treated like a manual. Make sure power is smooth and consistent when starting from a stop. Don’t creep forward in traffic without applying power. Basically, you need to pay attention to how you apply power, and you need to feel what the transmission is doing. If you do that, you’re fine. If you don’t, then you’ll need your clutch replaced time after time. To conclude, it’s a great car if you operate it properly. However, to be fair, if you don’t want to tolerate the transmission, it’s not the car for you.
Great little car.

Ford has come a long way with this little car. This is my second Focus, and I can honestly say I cant complain about it at all. I'm middle aged so I don't need all the extra power, bells, and whistles. The fuel economy is excellent. Most of my driving is highway, and I average about 40.5 mpg. , less for city driving. The ride is comfortable especially for trips less than three hours. The car handles very well, and is quite nimble when getting into parking spaces. The 1.0 liter is adequate for my needs, but it lacks the power of my previous Focus which had the 2.0 . (By the way, the 2.0 also got great mileage). I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who needs a low cost, reliable sedan.

So far the car has worked very well. Dont buy this car if you need the back seat. Its very tight. I drive 100 miles a day on interstate and my Gas mileage is 39.5. I have 27000 miles on it and no warranty issues. The car handles very good. Good comfort and quiet inside. The cell phone intagration is great. For older folks getting out is a little hard because it sits very low to the ground. All in all I have been very satified so far with this car. The car over all still has been a good car. Major complaints are the transmission and poor resale. Its had a new clutch at 55000 and I am told it will need another down the road. If the car had an automatic transmission. It would have been a better car.Avoid auto mated manuals on this vehicle. I paid 16500 for the car. At 60000 miles trade in value in my area is 8000 dollars. Enough said. Sold mine and bought a new Fusion. Over all the Focus was a 6 on a scale up to 10.

the dealer took advantage of my now fiancee. If I knew her at the time of her lease obviously things would be way different. she pays $353 a month for this POS it has now been in the shop and we have been without the vehicle for 30 days + and this is the 4th time in the shop for the same lurching and jumping and grinding and transmission overheating issues...the car stops running. it breaks down constantly. IT IS UNSAFE! stay away from frod (fraud) i mean ford all together. the dealer treats you like crap also. never any loaner cars and the one she leased from only has 2 transmission mechanics and we are in a densely populated area of NY. there are no words to describe the frustration.

Horrible transmission. I purchased this car in october 2019. Been through 2 transmission replacements. 1 with previous owner at 9000km and again at 44,500km, 3 months after purchasing. Currently at 46,000km and slipping again. Stay away from this car.

I bought this car with 3 miles on it. Once it hit 5k, I started to experience problems with acceleration (delayed throttle) then it escalated to stuttering, shifting problems, shuddering, stalling, everything that you experience with a car with transmission problems. Since then I have replaced the TCM 3 times and the clutch at least once. The dealership in Lewisville works with me, but they are not very helpful. A few times they drove it and said the couldn't find anything wrong when it was OBVIOUS that something was wrong. I am an Uber delivery driver and my car now has 89K on it. It is now out of the extended warranty. Please note that the Focus for 2013-2016 had a class action lawsuit with Ford but this car, even though it has the SAME PROBLEMS, is not a part of this class action. This is the worst car i've ever owned...a true nightmare. This car is either going to kill me or make me kill myself (jk)!

Handling is fun, yet the ride is surprisingly comfortable. Heater is wonderful This is 1.0 litre with 6-speed automatic. Brand new but first two tanks have been disappointing mileage. 33 highway. (My 2.0 liter automatic did 36-40 on same trip but had the dual clutch transmission from hell in it) UPDATE: Mileage significantly improved 28-31 in town and 36-38 highway. Pulls hill very well in cruise; seldom shifts down even in MO hills Body very strong; no signs of creaks, groans etc. Jan 2020 No change. Zero squawks on body, mechanical or electric Heater very strong; a/c more than sufficient; love the Auto a/c feature 19 months in, not a visit to dealer or squawk; did change to Amsoil.

I have only had the car for 2 months / 2,000 miles, but I really like it so far. It handles great, accelerates well, and gets good gas mileage (2.0L non-eco). The sound system is very nice, and the Bluetooth connection works very well (Sync3). I've never has a car with the sunroof or moon roof or whatever they call it, but I've had it open a few time and it's kind of fun and completely unnecessary. The ambient lighting color selections are the same way - I feel guilty liking the feature so much because it is completely unnecessary, but it's kind of cool. I like the styling, especially 17" painted aluminum wheels. The $4K rebate moved the price point well ahead of the other cars I looked at (Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Chevy Cruze, Toyota Corolla). The back seats are a bit tight - my wife (5'5") is ok, but my sons (6'1" and 5'10") are a little cramped. The floor mats are cheaper than the average new car mats, but those are the only negatives I have come across so far.

Horrible experience this car is a piece of crap we have problems since we bought it. We bought it from the Dealer brand new. Problems with the transmission take it all the time and they always say nothing is wrong. Now they are suing Ford Motor Company because a lot of people having same issue but now you suppose have 100 miles warranty but so what, if you take in and they always said is nothing wrong with the car.

I've had my Focus for just under a year and 11,000 miles. So far it's been just oil changes and driving, with my only concern a slight growling noise that started in March which may be the pulley for the serpentine belt--that the dealer said wasn't a problem. My '06 Ford Focus was a nightmare with a blown transmission, two alternators, wheel bearings, motor mounts, axle seals, and so on. I only looked at another Focus as this was a $4,000 off special from the dealer and it was a manual transmission--my '97 Tracer manual had lasted for 11 years. It's been a sporty, well handling, surprisingly fast little car, I'm hoping with the manual transmission I'm avoiding most of the problems reported with these cars, but if it starts giving me trouble I'll trade it for a Toyota.

Have put about 4,500 miles on my manual-transmission 2.0l Focus S. The ride and handling are super, even with the most basic suspension and tires. The engine performs very well, with good torque and a willingness to rev. The car feels very refined and is definitely fun to drive. Some of the interior materials feel a bit cheap, but overall this is an excellent value and a no-regrets buy. I'm sorry to see that Ford will not be making these anymore.

Bought my 2017 brand new had 23 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. 11k miles 1st clutch had to be replaced in my automatic, 21k miles 2nd clutch, 32k 3rd clutch, 44k 4th clutch now on the 6th it last around 19k and my car is now at 86k miles so no Ford wont do anything. My extended and factory warranties are done. Ford did pay me to go away but not even a 1/3 of what I paid for the car, or time I list at working going to the dealer every couple of months. They are fully aware they have not fixed the transmission issues in this model and do nothing to help the consumer. Dont waste your hard earned money on this pos. UPDATE finally got rid of it and it was stuttering again as usual between 9000-12000 miles. I now drive a 2021 Equinox and My husband drives a 2014 GMC we will never give another penny to Ford.

I purchased my 2017 Ford Focus SEL brand new for $40,000 thinking this car would last a long time. Boy was I wrong about this. 3 months and 10 days after my new car purchase, the Ford factory battery died and left me stranded. The dealer said the battery was only covered for up to 90 days and made me pay for a new one out-of-pocket (while still making payments on the car !)😠. After the first 4 years at around the 85,000 mile mark, the transmission began to “slip” but the car still drove well. At 95,300 miles however that transmission has completely failed and the car is now inoperable. The transmission is dead and needs to be replaced now ! After 4 years of driving this Ford Focus, the car is completely worn out and rusted with a broken/manufacturer-defective transmission. I am totally and completely dissatisfied and disappointed with my 2017 Ford Focus Sel vehicle !

2017 Ford Focus automatic with severe transmission shutter and delay in acceleration/shifting 1-3rd gears at 40,000 miles. Ford's service department will charge you $200 to tell you the shutter is normal. It isn't. This is a serious safety issue and Ford needs to be held accountable.

I needed a daily driver to replace my previous 16 year old sedan without breaking the bank. My primary concerns are reliable and economical with a secondary for fun to drive. Hence, I found an anomaly, a manual transmission on the dealer lot took a little effort and Google to find. The 3cyl turbo is weak at low RPM's, but comes alive from 3000-6500 and can be quite fun. Pedal placement is atrocious for heal-toe shifting, but the after-market has a fix to realign the throttle pedal. Overall, the engine is raspy and fun at high rev's while economical at normal speeds. EcoBoost folks: You get Eco OR Boost... pick with your right foot! This engine isn't even broken in yet but has achieved amazing combined fuel mileage despite the occasional floggings.

Car start to run a little rough then after filling up my gas tank it now stalls out and dies. Called 3 ford dealership to get replacement part but the parts mangers informed me that the part was on back order with no telling when the part will be available again. So now I have car that doesn't run that I'm paying on lol lesson learned never purchase a ford, Chrysler,jeep,chevy,fiat,and Volkswagen

I bought a 2017 Ford Focuse SE brand new at the time. 4 months in I had an issue the wipers were not work8ng right. I also had transmission issues that the dealership did nothing abut. One day about I could not trade it I owed to much on the car to trade it in. One day like 5 years later. I went to drive it and the transmission gave out. I paid the car off and I went to Honda to trade it in for a civic. I had a civic before and they are good cars. Never will I get any Ford vehicles my mom had problems with every single one of them. It was such a big piece of junk! I also thought it qas lousy on fuel!

Boughtb2017 at 7k miles. At 9k had a transmission replaced. Since then I had 2 clutches replaced and a solenoid. Took it back at 55k and told them it was shuttering again and overheated causing the tranny to shut off until it cooled down. They told me nothing was wrong with it and that I was driving in traffic. I told them I was on an open highway and regardless It shouldn't do that. I asked him if he would buy the 17 focus for his wife or daughter and of course he avoided the question. It is 12k miles later and I woke us yesterday morning and I have no transmission. If ford had fixed it when I asked I wouldn't be broken down with a 4k bill. We had a running joke in the house by ford told us shuttering was normal because that is what manuals do.i am not sure what kind of manual transmissions they drove but I never had any do that. But our running joke was "if your car doesn't shutter and shake -yourwrong and your car is broken-. Its not so funny now that my car is junk. I have only owned it for a year and it only has 71k miles on it. They tell me it needs 2 shift clips and a new transmission case.

One of the rare brand new cars in my life. Took delivery on 9/6/2017.Transmission has had issues since 3000 mile mark. Told by former service writer that Ford had had issues since 2012. Clutch was replaced at 10000 mile as well as cv axles. Its starting to jerk again and have put only 2000 miles on it since it was repaired under warranty. Extended warranty would be my recommendation. Overall its a really nice car but now very hesitant to drive any distance. Will use Honda for trips

Bought car w 12miles in may. I drive a lot, now October with 25k miles. The car leaked severe amounts of gravel dust. Had to have it sealed up. And now it's like the catilyc converter is plugged. Smelling fiercely in and out of the car of rotten eggs. Making me very sick. This is a 2017 brand new car. Love everything else about it. But no reason it should have these problems. Very angry about the situation.

Do not buy a Ford Focus model year 2013-2018 without a warranty. Transmission failures , clutch assembly failures, clutch actuator fork failures - very costly. They all have this issue and will fail at some point.
