Noises During Shifting problems of the 2016 Ford Focus

Was driving down the interstate at roughly 80 miles per hour when the check engine light came on. Engine lost power and would not accelerate. Engine started making a loud noise. Car will still start but is not drivable and engine has no oil pressure and mechanic said it downshifted to 4th gear at 83 mph. Car has been serviced regularly and has given no indication of engine problems. Was quoted $4500 at first Ford dealership to repair car with a used motor with equal mileage. 2nd Ford dealership quoted $3700 with rebuilt motor. Has been looked over by 2 mechanics including Fords and other than reading diagnostics nobody can provide a reason the oil pressure dropped or why the car downshifted into 4th gear uping the rpm's causing engine problems. They said there is no other problems with the car at this point other than the engine. Very no Smart to replace an engine without knowing the what caused the initial one to fail.

My vehicle's make/model/year (2016 Ford Focus) has a reported recall for a serious safety hazard involving the powershift dual clutch transmission. Online, it states that model years 2012-2016 Ford Focus vehicles have this issue. This type of transmission is considered a manual transmission that is controlled electronically by a computer while using a dry clutch rather than a wet one, meaning oil is not supplied to the shifting mechanism and can result in increased wear and tear the longer the issue persists. When the computer module that operates the transmission can't handle rapid acceleration or speed shifting, the vehicle will sputter and make an audible noise. Other issues that can be caused are problems with downshifting, leaving the vehicle in a higher gear despite deceleration and cause it to "lurch". The main safety hazard this issue causes is when accelerating quickly into an intersection, the delay prevents the vehicle from reaching the same speed a vehicle should achieve with an automatic transmission. In terms of deceleration, the car's inability to correctly downshift caused the vehicle to lunge forward, despite the brakes being applied.

My 2016 Ford Focus se has stalled while driving on the freeway twice in the past two weeks. In addition, the transmission is very jerky and the engine studders and makes loud noises when shifting into 2nd and 3rd gears. The car only has 53,000 miles on it, yet the transmission is defective.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus. While driving at any speed and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle made a rattling noise and shuddered. The contact also stated that the vehicle lunged forward when it was shifted into reverse. There was no warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to uptown Ford Lincoln (414-771-9000, located at 2111 n mayfair rd, milwaukee, WI 53226) to be diagnosed, but the failures could not be duplicated. The clutch was replaced, but the failure recurred several times. The clutch was replaced again. The contact was informed that the transmission could not be repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 13,803.

I purchased the vehicle Feb 23, 2017 with 137 miles on it. Drove it off the lot within a month of having the car it starting making a weird noise kind of like a clanking noise in the front engine area, contacted the dealership they stated this was normal noises for a 2016 Ford Focus. The noises continued to get louder took it back this time they said it was the clutch downshifting(mind you it makes the noise before the car even has a chance to even get to a speed high enough to shift so how is it downshifting?) it also is having issues with the remote start you start it with the remote start it shuts off, start it again shuts off again, start it for the 3rd time it starts you go to unlock the car to get in and the car shuts off again ( not normal and it was installed from the factory not aftermarket) now the car has been hesitating to shift as well as lunging when it does shift and when we bring it to the dealerships service department they tell us this is all normal and they have a bulletin from Ford stating that it is "normal " for this year vehicle.

Automatic transmission makes rattling noises when starting and stopping. It hesitates when it tries to downshift and lurches when it gets to the right gear. It will stay in a higher ear for too long causing the engine to strain. The dealership says it is normal and can't be fixed.
