 I wish I could give this car less than 1 star. I bought this car in 2013 because the safety ratings seemed to indicate it was good quality and it had great mpg. This car became a nightmare to own for the past three years and ruined Ford as a company for my entire family. Ford has designed a TERRIBLE transmission that CANNOT be repaired. For the Focuses and the Fusions the clutch WILL degrade and will need to be replaced over and over again. Your car will shake and shudder in stop and go traffic. It will lose power when going up hills, stalling out. With less than 30,000 miles on the car I had the clutch replaced 3 times, took the car in for 2 recalls, and 2 system reboots. Every Ford mechanic told me the same answer; there is no permanent solution for this car, just bring it back in when it starts to shudder again. I was smart enough to buy the premium warranty, providing me with a rental car each time I took it in, because this car was ALWAYS in the shop. Even though Ford knew they sold me a lemon, their mechanics know it, their sales reps know it, they even train people specifically to deal with disappointed Focus and Fusion owners, they would not honor the lemon law and agree to a buy back process. After hiring an attorney to represent me and a year of jumping through hoops I have finally got my money back and got out of this car. I will never be buying a Ford again after this terrible car.
