Only problem at the beginning was that the transmission seemed off and it hesitated a lot when trying to get started from a red light. Liked it so much that I convinced my wife to buy a Ford Escape a year later (also a mistake). Great ride, handling (at least until the factory tires hit snow for the first time), large enough trunk to put almost everything I have ever needed it to do.
Buyer beware, this is the lemon that I'd always been afraid of. I've submitted a claim for the Ford Transmission Class Action Lawsuit.
There have also been 10+ recalls on it OUTSIDE of the transmission/clutch issues. I've spent probably $3,000 in repairs already. After towing it to a nearby repair shop, I find out that the whole transmission needs replacing and it will cost around $4,000. This past weekend, my car stopped accelerating in the middle of the street. Prior to that, it had broken down on the interstate multiple times for various other failures. After doing that, I still have issues with the same thing (though not quite as often as before). This kept going on for about a year before someone finally told me that the clutch needed replacing. Within 2 weeks of buying the car, it was stuttering every time I would accelerate from a stop.
#2013 FORD FOCUS SE UPGRADE#
When it was time for an upgrade and the dealership said they had the same car but a newer version, I was elated! However, they took me for a ride on the price (it was my first time buying a car on my own- I didn't know any better) and it's been nothing but issues since. I previously owned a 2005 Ford Focus and loved it.
