2017 FORD FOCUS with 69345.0 miles

Went to jumpstart daughter's car, jump started car and it would not go in reverse. Had it towed to a local Ford dealership and was told i needed a new transmission. There were no check engine lights or transmission problems before car was jump started. Scann ed car and found transmission code P2837. Dealership says the transmission is not covered under warranty. The car only has 69,000 mi on it and it's 3 years old. Getting a hold of a lemon lawyer in regards to getting some compensation for these faulty transmission.

2014 FORD FOCUS with 42000.0 miles

I bought this car preowned from dealership. Within a year it had problems. Well driving at 30mph near my home the rpms shut up on the car while the speed stuttered as if the car was in neutral. I took it in right away other problems persisted on my way to the dealership such as not being able to shift correctly. They had told me they fixed the problem and all was covered under warranty so i was happy. This is where it got strange. They told me that they need to order another part and that it should be here within a week. As i am not very car savvy so i don't recall this part but it was under warranty so i was at ease. They offered to keep my car until the part arrived, which i thought was fine.. Luckily i didn't because 2 1/2 weeks went by before i made it back into the dealership and i asked the person who serviced my car when my part was coming in. He said it definitely should've arrived by now and it's strange that it hasn't. I come back another few weeks later and they claim that there was never any order for me at all. I don't know who originally serviced me i just assumed they'd have my records. Flashforward a year later in the same exact thing is happening but even worse. It won't go in reverse or sport mode. It's been turning on some days and not others and it goes about 5 miles an hour. I try to take it into the Ford dealership and they're trying to say it is no longer under warranty even though my car is under 60,000 miles. They want to charge me $150 to diagnose i google several different places that will do it for free. Got the error code P2837. Ford still wants to charge me to diagnose. When i try to call and talk about how this car doesn't seem safe enough to have even sold and ask about the recalls they act like it's a one in 1 billion thing and keep connecting me to different departments where i just get an answering machine. Not right

2013 FORD FOCUS with 40400.0 miles

Automated manual 6 speed transmission has been exhibiting clutch shuddering for at least 6 months, dealer ordered new clutches 3 months ago and are still on back order. Saturday may 30th 2015 while pulling away from a stop light making a left turn at approx 5-10 mph the rpm went to around 5000 like the clutch was slipping then started shifting extremely rough and rpm up and down while the gas pedal was held steady at what should have been a low rpm state of no more than 2000-3000 rpm. While at city speeds going up a long hill it seemed like the transmission was stuck in 5th or 6th gear and would not shift even in sport manual mode and bogged down until finally with the gas held down it jerked violently and down shifted. When parking several miles later it would not go into reverse. This was a moderately warm day of about 75 degrees after a 25 mile freeway drive, the engine was not overheating and the oil level was good. The next morning my diagnostic computer (a can obd2) detected the dtc codes P2862 and P2837 and the car is apparently working normally after clearing the codes and driving around the block.

2013 FORD FOCUS with 40470.0 miles

Monday june 1st after clearing the codes from the previous incident 2 days prior and taking a few short drives around town on sunday the vehicle transmission seemed to be operating normally so monday i drove to auburn at 5 am and had no issues. Coming home at about 1:30 it started to exhibit the same symptoms from saturday so i got off the freeway and within a few blocks had intermittent no power to the wheels, giving it gas just revved the engine, i managed to limp it into a parking lot with the transmission going in and out. Hooking up my obd2 computer i got the following codes: P2862, P2837, P2862 (again) and P287B. I did notice on both days it failed that the transmission would not go into sport/manual shift mode. I attempted to clear the codes and the P2862 would not clear after 3 attempts so i called Ford roadside. Late in the 3 hour wait for a tow truck the car started and the code seemed to have cleared, i was able to move forward and reverse in the parking lot. I believe that it is somehow triggered by higher temperature drives but not that high, and at least a 20-25 mile drive. Saturday it was about 73 degrees when it failed and monday it was in the high 60s. When i drove to work monday morning it was in the low 50s. Also when it failed i could hear mechanism in the transmission seemingly trying to shift like the noise a regular manual transmission makes when shifting, (gears and lever actuators). They have no idea when Ford will be providing clutch parts let alone whatever else is broke. I now believe that the latest problem i have having is way beyond the clutches slipping and shuddering like most people have described. This problem is extremely dangerous and somebody will be seriously injured or killed when their Focus "automatic transmission" causes the car to loose power without much warning and in a dangerous situation. Why no recall?

2012 FORD FOCUS with 42740.0 miles

Bought the car used in may. It drove fine for the first month and now the check engine light comes on with a code for the transmission. The car hesitates and shutters when you start from a stop and when you get going it feels like it shifts into neutral, rpm goes real high and then shifts hard. The code that pops up is P2862, P2831, P2832, P2837, and P285F. For 2 of them the code is shift fork a and b position circuit shift, and the others say no definition found.I don't know what to do from here.

2011 FORD FIESTA with 116382. miles

As i was leaving work pulling out of the road i stepped on the gas and the car stalled. Making multiple vehicles come to a screeching stop almost causes multiple wrecks. This was the first time. Other times i was in traffic passing people or just driving down the road and the car started to shake and would stall not accelerating. Last of all my car would not start at least 3 times in one week due to code P2837 and P2832
