 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.
