When first accelerating from 0 mph, the car will struggle to shift out of first gear. It constantly jumps and jerks between 10-20 mph. It feels like someone who is newly learning how to drive a stick shift is shifting the car. As an automatic, it should not be having these problems. This is the second time this has occurred with the car. The first time the computer had to be completely replaced.

Ford will not repair the transmission clutch for no charge. Drops out of gear, shudders, stalls in motion, city streets, turning and highways. Have asked several times in the past to repair. Needs a recall on vehicles.

The transmission in my vehicle is a dps6 duel clutch transmission made by Ford. It has been pulling codes for fork position a I have taken it to a Ford dealership for repair 2 times in three weeks last time I got vehicle back it pulled 4 transmission codes within 1 hour of getting car back and now will not shift out of 1st gear and when it does and you come to a complete stop you have to turn the car off for 15 minutes before you can drive forward again. I have contacted the dealership about it they said they have done everything Ford has told them to do, I have called Ford motor company and complained and they have done nothing. My vehicle is unsafe for my child and I to be in. It has been parked and none running since 5/29/19.

This 2012 Ford Focus has one of the original dps6 transmissions which is failing as to be expected by design. Ford is denying the extended warranty for 7 years because the purchase date was August 2011. The vehicle is a 2012 and here we are in 2019. This is 7 years. The vehicle is dangerous, shifting hard and slips out of gear and won't go into drive. This is very dangerous when you need acceleration on the freeway or where ever the risk may be in traffic conditions. There are 1000's of reports on the malfunctioning transmission and I recently read on the internet the NHTSA this year is finally looking into this problem that was sold to millions of customers. I have had the car diagnosed at a Ford dealership who proceeded to price gouge me on a repair since Ford won't honor their customer satisfaction. No third party transmission shops will work on this car and the consumer is slaved to Ford for repairs. Dishonest price gouging quotes to boot. I was lured in with $1400. 00 to 1600. 00 to bring the car in. 5 months later, with no cooperation and numerous phone calls, they doubled the parts priced for the repair up to $3200. 00 plus it could be more. I was so fed up I towed the vehicle out of there and back to my garage. This half baked extended warranty Ford put out for this transmission is exactly that, half baked. They know this transmission will fail and the warranty should have covered all components for this mechanical monstrosity. The consumer is over the barrel with Ford fixing this problem and they are taking advantage of the situation. I was denied this warranty by two months when I first inquired about the. It's a 2012 - 2019 7 years. Just because it was sold in 2011 shouldn't make a difference. It's still the same dangerous malfunctioning transmission out on the road. I sure hope the NHTSA puts some pressure on Ford to do the right thing.

2012 Ford Focus. Consumer writes in regard to safety hazard; transmission shifting out of gear unexpectedly.

I'm currently on my 4th powershift transmission. I get a new one installed yearly due to unsafe driving hazards it causes. Jerking, hesitation, rolling backwards on slight inclines. Several times while driving at highway speeds the powershift transmission slipped out of gear and I had no speed control. Very scary! Ford keeps installing a new transmission but, it never fixes the problem. They did increase my warranty to 100,000 miles. I intended to keep this car for my teenage daughter when she starts to drive but, I would never trust her life with this car. I can't trade it in because all dealers know this car is a lemon.
