2013 Ford FOCUS Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Model Year	2013
File date	01/03/13

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Approximately 1/4/-1/3 of the time, upon accelerating from a stop, the car will either shudder into gear with little acceleration, or will lurch into gear so badly that the car almost comes to a stop during acceleration. I have taken the car to my local dealer four times for this issue. The first time, they did a computer code reset, which worked for a couple of months then the issue came back. The second time they changed some seals, and that worked for a week or so before the problem recurred. The third and fourth times, i was essentially told that "this was normal" and there was nothing the dealer could/would do about it. After research, i see i am not the only driver with this problem, and it has caused me to question the safety of my vehicle, especially when needing to make a left-hand turn against traffic.
