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

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.
