I have had to replace the same part multiple times. The tcm seems like it needs replaced almost every time I get an oil change. Every time my car gets fixed another problem appears. My car will not go in reverse right now, and has a misfire in cylinder 1 which I know the misfires happen often. But there is also a leak in the evap which happened right after my tank was fixed for the deformation of the tank recall. My transmission ticks, and the clutch plate needs replaced. I have an automatic Ford Focus but the car is constantly shuddering. The vehicle has the clutch shudder when I'm at a complete stop and I press the gas pedal. It doesn't matter if it's light or not.
The car has 70,000 miles on it. It has had 3 oil leaks (1 oil pan & 2 head gasket); I have also had to have the clutch replaced twice. The first time was due to shuddering and the second time was due to a transmission malfunction code. The two clutches were replaced 10,000 miles apart.
Consistent oil leak; transmission lagging on shifts when starting out from stops; transmission not shifting properly.
Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Ford Focus. The contact stated that the engine leaked a small amount of oil onto the ground. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 9,971. Js.
After about 30-45 mins of driving the car will begin to shudder going from 1st to 2nd gear. It occurs most noticeably driving from a stop. I have brought my car in numerous times and have been told numerous excuses. At this time it is getting annoying, however it becomes a concern when turning onto roads because it does not produce any power during this time. Its only a matter of time before a accident occurs because of this issue. There needs to be a recall on the transmission on the 2012 Ford Focus. Updated 03/25/lj also, an oil leak was found, the vehicle would shudder in reverse and it felt as though the traction control was engaging.
