  Gas pedal get stuck and Transmission shakes - 2014 Ford Focus
  By Red Ford Focus Se - September 30 - 1:20 pm

  I bought a Brand New red 2014 Ford Focus Se this early April 2015. It had 22 miles on it when I purchased it. Anyway, now its a vehicle from hell. The Gas pedal gets stuck when I try to accelerate at any speed and when I put my foot on the gas pedal the car shakes. Ibe been in for service over 3x. I took it the Elder ford dealership and they its the transmission programming. Smh Also, the a/c sucks it doesnt blow out cold. And its an part from under the front passenger side under the seat that is just sitting there like they forgot to finish putting the car together! I feel like I got a Lemon. I really want my money back or get another Ford Focus with less problems.

  Cheap! thinking of lemon law - 2014 Ford Focus
  By Jacob - September 29 - 9:31 am

  I have had my car since February 2015, been in the shop three times. Have had a defective tire, and a/c vent fall apart, and they claimed they had to "reprogram" my transmission. Well i Had a road trip from Florida to Kansas and back. Well going through the mountains in Chattanooga TN, the car started shaking and got stuck in a gear. At most I was only able to go 55 and when I hit my brakes to see if itll get unstuck, it got stuck going 40. I had to literally floor the vehicle to get it to accelerate. This car is a piece of junk. I am so close to filing a lemon law. The company says its the type of transmission. Im sorry but if I get stuck in a gear and cant accelerate, that is an issue that better be fixed. Great gas milage though!

  lemon...agreed! - 2014 Ford Focus

  totally wish I hadnt bought this and will never buy another car not at least three years old. all these reviews are true. the transmission shakes and jolts horribly and is crazy embarrassing when driving around friends or a date. Ive also had three tires blow on mine in the last year and the tire pressure warning will keep coming on. I take it to Ford and they feed me the same crap, "oh not sure why this keeps happening but Ill look it up and for now I reset the warning light and yes, your tires are full so it shouldnt have done this". I mean really? There is no such thing as service or standing behind your product any longer. I am filing a suit as this car is a lemon and I hope a class action comes from it.

  The Transmission shakes at low speed. The trim and seats are already showing signs of deep wear after a year. This is a cheaply made car. Do not recommend at all.

  great 2014 ford focus - 2014 Ford Focus

  2014 Ford Focus SE I currently own a 2014 Focus Focus SE. I bought the car new in the fall of 2014. The color of my car is ruby red. The car is a hatchback, with the black appearance package. This package allows the car to have a black Focus ST spoiler, glossy black grill and mirror, along with black inserts in the headlights. The car has black leather interior, with ambient lighting. This is my daily driver, wouldn’t change it. I drive it anywhere, whether it’s to and from school, or drive 45 minutes to go see my family. I do plan on changing a few things to add my own touch. Looking to add a body kit next summer, also change out the stock headlight bulbs to give it a better appearance at night. Want it to look more like a rally car if ever possible. I do wish the paint was better because I have a chip that is noticeable when you are up close. I do get a lot of complements on how people like my car and wish they could get one. I do like to park in the back of a parking lot because I don’t want to take any chances of someone hitting it with their door or backing into me. I recommend buying this car if you are looking for great mpg, or something small to get around in a city. You are able to get this car in many colors and styles depending if you want the base model or on the higher end. Pros • Sport option for speed or auto for the fuel economy • Smooth to start up • Good acceleration • Great for the snowy streets, even going up hill • Inexpensive to fill the tank • Plenty of storage, even greater with the rear seats down. • A lot of head room and space, even for myself (6 feet tall) • Great ambient lighting colors to choose from with a twist of the dial • Back seats are comfortable • Very easy to customize to add your own touch • Being able to park anywhere Cons • Transmission does get stuck in low gear if you slow down quickly • Not a lot of leg room in the back seats • Have payments unless you pay cash • Taller people have trouble with little room

  Attorney mails letter to about my car - 2014 Ford Focus
  By Maybe alive ? - September 23 - 5:02 am

  We bought this car for the gas mileage and the cargo space of the hatchback. Little did I know, we bought a brand new night mare! It goes forward when it wants to, not when it needs to. Hit the gas and it stutters surges and stutters. Now u have moved 10 feet and about to be hit by incoming traffic. As our grandchildren grow, the second stage car seat can not fit behind the driver. Went to trade in for a car with a larger back seat and the dealer did NOT want to take in trade, do to the transmission issues! 2014 is worth half of what I paid for it and it is in mint condition! Than a letter comes in the mail saying the can help with the Ford Focus transmission problem !! What the heck, we were told it was because of two different driving habit, the computer needs to readjust ! This is criminal . Currently driving the car waiting for parts! Hope the come soon.

  Focus auto transmissions need to be replaced. Shame on ford for selling these cars when they know they are broken.

  Ford should recall these transmissions - 2014 Ford Focus
  By Kim rice - September 22 - 7:40 am

  The transmissions in these cars are junk I totally feel like the sales people are aware and instructed to hide everything and get rid of these cars at any cost .... I got totally screwed..... I feel ripped off and lied to I pay cash for this car and its been in the shop 4 times in less than a year 2 new clutches have already been put in. I wanted to trade it in and Ford refused by saying I would not get half of my money back on the trade in that I paid cash for this car ...one week after I bought it. Ford needs to recall these transmissions or at least stop making them if youre buying one get ready to be treated like its not fords problem. I bought this car for my daughters graduation for her to use in college and its sitting in my driveway right now I dont even want her driving it its so unsafe Thanks ford thanks
