Transmission Slip Out Of Gear problems of the 2013 Ford Focus

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to shift out of first gear. The vehicle was towed to mcclung Ford inc (707 e main st, mountain view, ar 72560) where the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 19v515000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the failure persisted. The contact was informed that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed in order to discover the cause for the failure. The contact was informed that the clutch and the transmission fork needed to be replaced. A few days later, the contact called back to check on the vehicle and was informed that the replacement parts had not corrected the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 132,000.

Transmission slipping and stuttering. Car slips out of gear when driving. I have almost been hit multiple times while in motion pulling out into traffic only to have car slip out of gear and not move anymore. Car has slipped out of gear on highway many times while in motion.

Power shift dual clutch transmission is jumping and seeming to go in and out of gear. It has been replaced once already but now starting to do it again after 25000 to 35000 miles. I have been noticing a shutter more and more lately. Ford knew about this safety issue and did nothing about it and not I do not feel like my vehicle is safe to drive. There are several things that I notice about this transmission that makes it unsafe. Sometimes slips out of gear, shutters on take off, and shakes at an idle. I am the 2nd owner on the vehicle, when I purchased the vehicle in Nov 2018 the prev owner told me that a new transmission was in place without this issue, but I found out that it was just the Ford fix to the transmission which many people are having issues with as it was not fixed as a long term fix but a short term fix.

Shuddering continues on shifting from gear to gear. Feeling of transmission slipping out of gear both at city and at highway speeds. Concerns for safety and being stranded continue. I will make note that I am a 68 year old senior citizen with multiple disabilities. I contacted the dealer, parkway Ford of winston salem, nc and scheduled an appointment to determine the problem. After they ran a diagnostic program, it was determined that the clutch needed to be replaced a third time. They never did address the problem of the transmission slipping out of gear. They said this was normal and the way the car was designed. I noted that coasting is not safe, it is also illegal. The clutch was replaced and adjustments made. At this time I was represented by stern law of novi, michigan in a mass action suit against Ford motor company regarding this vehicle. We note that this clutch replacement was five months since the last replacement.

This car excelarated on my wife jumped a curb and she ended up on a steep embankment in a pile of landscaping rocks. Knocked a hole in oilpan and damaged airconditioner and compressor. It also jumps out of gear going down the highway. Happened 2 times the vehicle wason the highway and jumped out of gear,you have to come to a compleete stop turn engine off restart and put it back in gear.

For over a year now my car has randomly stopped going into reverse, shuttering while trying to shift, hard shifting (or slamming into gear), lurching and or jumping forward (or backwards), slipping out of gear, failing to engage in a gear, and also has slipped out of gear while on the highway/ freeway and almost caused an accident. My car has 82,000 miles on it and is still under warranty but Ford refuses to say anything is wrong. They did replace a shift fork, but they claim that there is nothing wrong with my car. I get the transmission fault light and randomly a message about the transmission overheating will pop up and it tells me to pull over safely and wait 5 minutes. I am being charged (basically taxed) $500 a month to have a car that I cant trust to take me anywhere and I refuse to take my niece and nephew in it because it is so dangerous to operate when every time I get in it- it does these above things. I really wish that Ford would step up and do the right thing because mine is not an isolated incident. But this disabled combat veteran doesn't see Ford doing anything but counting all my money they keep taking.

Since I took the car off the lot it shuddered when shifting from first to second gear. It never felt completely right but since it is a new car I assumed that's how it's supposed to feel. Well the shuddering progressively got worse and turned into grinding. I got new transmission fluid and cleaned out the system checked the plugs nothing got better. I took it in a few times to the dealership they said that the transmission was fine and that's how it is supposed to drive. Well I was on my way to work and the car kept slipping out of fourth gear and then it completely lost power every time I pressed the accelerator the engine revved but there was no power. This car is less than three years old it shouldn't have this type of problem. The check engine light never came on and I couldn't even get above 30 mph on the car. I looked online and this seems to be a recurring problem.

My transmission is great progressively worse. The judder, slipping out of gear, deceleration when I need to accelerate, and the random buckling of car is getting too horrible to ignore anymore. My dealership told me that there has been no issues with the transmission and that I was wrong. I am reading way too many of the same stories with the same car. This is getting dangerous and I am stuck with this car. When I accelerate from a stopped position, I feel as if I am riding a bucking bronco (shuddering). The jolting and shuddering is enough to loosen my kidneys. This has always occurred on my car. But it is getting worse. But according to Ford, this is �normal� and �this transmission is suppose to feel like a manual. � I have driven manual transmission cars and they do not behave this way. They have made it seem like cars are suppose to drive this way now.

I have a 2013 Ford Focus. The car remains under warranty. Since I bought the car, the manufacture has paid for the clutch to be completely replaced twice due to issues with the car stalling while I have been driving it (it is a manual transmission that is controlled by a computer system and functions as an automatic for the driver). The car was bought in September 2012. The clutch was replaced on 6/19/2013 with 10,760 miles. The clutch was again replaced on 9/24/2014 at 28,215 miles. Both times the clutch has been replaced it has been due to safety concerns about the car stalling while going uphill. Last night (5/16/2015) while on the interstate going approximately 55 mph with my family in the car, I felt the car transmission slip out of gear. I was unable to accelerate/give gas to the engine and the car was rapidly decelerating. It was difficult to get to the shoulder safely. This car appears to have significant safety flaws with the the dual-clutch, automated-manual transmission that make it unsafe to drive.
