Powershift transmission is causing problems. My 2014 Ford Focus had a history of slipping when shifting, but I did not take it into the dealer for a diagnostic until my regular mechanic noticed it and red flagged it as a concern while operating the vehicle. I took the car to my local dealership and paid $160 to run a complete diagnostic of the transmission system. The result of that diagnostic was the internal clutch was bad, and I would need to do a complete rebuild of both the clutch and the transmission, because the clutch is located inside the transmission, at a cost of $3,081. 77. After recovering from sticker shock, I was told it was ok to continue to drive the car until the clutch stopped working as they anticipated failure in the lower gears. After this information, I reached out to two transmission repair centers for a second opinion, both which told me that Ford has been repairing all the transmissions they have seen with this problem at no cost to the owner. In addition, they told me they were not able to purchase the replacement parts listed in the diagnostic results because Ford is not selling them to outside repair houses because of the number of repairs Ford is making on this transmission. Today the clutch failed and I could only use the lower two gears to limp my car back to the dealer, again being quoted the original repair price. The dealer service rep is telling me Ford is either repairing for free or sometimes credit up to 50% of the repairs, mileage dependant. When I called the number the dealer provided, I was assigned case # cas22256019 and told 0% would be credited because they have no record of a problem. It is clear that this is an on-going problem of the drive train, also that Ford is not being up front about the extent of the problem. I believe the NHTSA needs to step in and work with Ford to develop a consistent solution to this issue.

Takata recall. While going down the highway, my car shuddered harder than usual and seemed like it lost power. My transmission light came on soon after this. I took my car to a local dealership and they explained that there was a recall on my car for a control module that would cause my car to stall without notice. When my car stalled it made a loud knock and my clutch brake broke. The dealership told me that the breaking of my clutch brake could not be covered in the recall because it is different section of the transmission. My question is if the transmission is faulty to begin with then wouldn't it affect my clutch brake and cause it to be under too much stress? I now have to pay 1500$ to have it fixed, but the recall is free of charge.

Transmission shudders, lurches, stalls, fails to shift, will take off, and then suddenly stop in traffic. Currently 31,000 miles, issues began with 15,000 miles. In first second and third gear, the car will either shudder or lurch out suddenly no matter the speed. At times it will lunge forward and come to a stop while trying to upshift, suddenly, in the middle of intersections and at stop signs. This has caused me to nearly rear-end other drivers, and other drivers to nearly rear end me. It has also caused me to come to almost a complete stop in oncoming traffic after leaving a stop sign. You must completely let off the gas, and then slowly accelerate until the car catches a gear and can get moving again. Sometimes this does not always happen soon enough before oncoming traffic reaches me. My car has already been re-programmed, and I'm awaiting an 8-12 week recall for a clutch. Was told by the dealership that this is normal behavior for a manual transmission. I've driven manuals all my life, and they didnt nearly kill me.

Now I'm having the same safety issues as before. I let the dealership know this morning that the car was a definate safety concern, and I got no response. I want this on record in case of an accident that causes injuries. I'm not safe driving this car on the road.
