2014 Ford Focus Transmission Recalls: A Full Rundown

Jan 21, 2021

The 2014 Ford Focus has so many problems with it that it ranks dead last (38 out of 38) among small cars among our 2014 rankings here at Vehicle History. One of the biggest complaints about the 2014 Focus is its terrible transmission.

Are there any safety recalls against the 2014 Ford Focus’ transmission?

To date, there have been 12 safety recalls issued for this model. However, none are related to the transmission. But there has been a major class action lawsuit against Ford related to the 2014 Ford Focus transmission.

In this article, we’ll talk about owners’ complaints, the class action lawsuit related to the 2014 Ford Focus transmission, and what your options are if you potentially have a claim.

2014 Ford Focus Transmission Complaints

Ford installed its PowerShift dual-clutch automatic transmission in millions of Focus and Fiesta model vehicles between 2011 and 2016. One of the main owner complaints about the 2014 Ford Focus is about the vehicle’s shuddering transmission.

When the car takes off from a full stop and starts accelerating, the entire vehicle starts to shudder. The vehicle jerks when upshifting from First to Second gear, and then the entire car noticeably shudders and vibrates again.

Millions of owners have paid out of pocket for repairs on their 2014 Ford Focus, only to have the transmission issues continue. They’ve replaced the entire transmission, gone through software updates (known as a “software flash” at a dealership), replaced the clutch multiple times and more.

Following repairs, the dealerships told them that all of the transmission’s numbers are within factory limits — but the problem persists.

There are so many specific problems with the PowerShift dual-clutch automatic transmission in the 2014 Ford Focus that we have an entirely separate article dedicated to them.

The 2014 Ford Focus Transmission Problem

Car Transmission Closeup

Ford’s PowerShift transmission installed in cars between 2011 and 2016 was a dual-clutch six-speed. It uses a pair of clutch packs to link the engine to the transmission — one clutch pack for gears 1, 3, and 5, and one for gears 2, 4 and 6. The advantage (normally) to this type of gearbox is that it can shift gears more quickly than a traditional automatic transmission, and it can provide better gas mileage for the vehicle.

The disadvantage to this type of clutch is that it can slip off the line and feel like a manual transmission, and shifting tends to feel rougher than a user would experience in a regular automatic.

Many American owners were unused to this feeling when driving the 2014 Ford Focus, because it’s primarily used in higher-end European automobiles.

Ford added to the problems by deciding to design it as a “dry” clutch. This was a design choice made by efficiency — but it was obviously the wrong choice. A “wet” clutch uses hydraulic fluid in the friction discs to provide a much smoother feeling when shifting. (Test-drive a BMW sometime if you want to experience the smoothness of a wet clutch.)

Ford’s Response to 2014 Ford Focus Transmission

Ford has issued more than 20 service bulletins related to the PowerShift transmission (under code DPS6). The vehicle’s powertrain warranty was also extended in 2014, to seven years or 100,000 miles.

Note that the seven-year extended warranty will expire in 2021. Ford finally made improvements to the PowerShift transmission starting in model year 2016 but did not make major changes until the company started getting sued in 2017.

2014 Ford Focus Class Action Lawsuit

California filed a class action lawsuit against Ford over the PowerShift transmission in 2017, and won a $35 million judgment against the company. There are approximately 1.6 million Ford Fiesta and Focus owners who took part in the lawsuit (or can still join it).

Attorneys for the plaintiffs proved that Ford knew about the issues with the PowerShift transmission as far back as 2010, but went ahead with production anyway. Ford had allegedly instructed dealers to tell customers that the vehicles “operated normally,” despite knowing about the potential issues. The settlement against Ford went into effect in April of 2020.

How You Can Join the Class Action Suit

If you own a 2014 Ford Focus or one of the other Ford models that had the notorious PowerShift transmission installed in it, you can still “opt-in” to the class action settlement. Payments will range from $50 per transmission flash, up to a total of $600. If you paid for a new transmission, you could recoup as much as $2,325 in cash or up to $4,650 in certificates.

Reimbursement for replacing the dual-clutch is also available. In certain instances, Ford will also repurchase or replace the vehicle.

Go to the Ford Transmission Settlement website for details on how to file a claim against Ford under the terms of the class action settlement and the forms you will need to fill out.

Biggest heap of garbage ever

Holy guacamoli where to begin. I paid cash for my 2014 hatchback, had about 100k miles on it, I literally had it for maybe 3 months and rarely drove it since I still had my other car at the time that I was primarily using. After I got rid of my other car and started using the focus as my main car, I put maybe 2k miles on it and then the transmission fell apart. Went to a ford dealer and argued with the manager for a good half an hour and they wouldn't even look at it unless i forked over another couple hundred even though it was supposedly still under an extended warranty. After going to a different and more pleasant ford dealer, they looked at it for free but still charged me 600$ to replace multiple sensors and a motor that all went bad, and then said the clutch needed to be replaced in the next 10k miles, it was already driving rough because of the clutch going out, so I decided to go to a specialist transmission shop that charged 400$ less for the clutch kit. Drove fine for a few thousand miles after that but good lord this car is a mess it doesn't just end at the defective transmission, almost everything I could think of that could go wrong with this thing went wrong, next thing I know the power steering sensor sometimes goes out, upon starting the car it fails and has no power steering, turning it off and starting it again luckily fixes it but it slowly seems to happen more and more. Then the AC fan quickly started burning out and stopped working, now it keeps leaking coolant everywhere and overheating, not sure if its the radiator or the thermostat or both (probably both wouldnt surprise me) because it starts overheating and jumping and driving really poorly after about 20 minutes, and the coolant in the reservoir starts bubbling up like crazy and shooting coolant out everywhere. This car is a death trap and a money pit I would NOT recommend anyone to gamble their money, just about any other car would be miles better in comparison. I've driven and owned alot of cars over the years, and this is without a doubt the most awful car ive ever used

Defective Transmission

I have a 2013 Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI AWD Titanium. It has a powershift gearbox. Several days ago I experienced strange gearshifts and high revs. The message "Transmission unavailable" was displayed on the screen. This was followed by a loss in transmission. Eastern Cape Motors, South Africa (Ford) reinstalled software and did an adaptive relearning programming. They conducted a road test (this means whatever they did restored transmission). As per report, the vehicle operated normal. On the second road test, the vehicle shuddered through gears and revved up. They did a "DTC" .... P2715 Pressure control solenoid "D" stuck in low, P0796 pressure solenoid "C" performance/stuck off - transmission failure. The 180 000 service was done in August 2022. The vehicle never missed a service since new. The message "Transmission not in Park, Select P" was on on the display when I experienced the breakdown. This appeared after Ford worked on the vehicle. Eastern Cape Motors wants to replace the gearbox (AND NOT STRIP AND REPAIR) at a cost of R179 000 ($10 031) vat incl - THIS is more that the actiual cost of the vehicle. The vehicle cost R159 990 ($8960.10) vat incl (R193 676 - $10 853.60) including bank finance charges - I am still paying for the vehicle) FORD indicated that this is repairable. We all know that The Ford Motor Company is aware of the defects in the powershift gearbox. Why has the Ford Motor company not replaced gearboxes of South Africans who complained. Why should I pay to replace a gearbox which has a known factory fault? I did log a compliant with Ford South Africa's customer care. Their response was that they have approved a "Gratuity Repair", HOWEVER because my vehicle is more that 7 years old (2013 - 9 years), it doesn't qualify. I will have to pay for repairs. I noted that FORD USA replace/repaired gearboxes on 2010 models in 2019. (9 years). The fact that it is a know defect, regardless of the age, all vehicles should have been recalled and defects repaired or gearboxes replaced.

How are these vehicles still on the road???

I bought my 2014 Ford Focus SE in 2016. It was owned by and elderly lady who bought it brand new and it had less than 7000 miles on it. It immediately started having issues with the transmission within 30 days. After countless repairs, trips to the dealership, arguments, complaints, phone calls, breakdowns, near accidents, and more recalls than I can count, I still own the POS because I refuse to sell it to anyone else when I know how dangerous it is! I was also told, this is a special 'learning transmission' and we will reset it so it can learn your driving habits and then it will be just fine. Then I was told it's within normal stats. Then I was told ok now it's not within normal range, we just need to replace the clutch- which I still had lots of warranty left. Then I had the car completley shut down on me after getting gas and that's when the entire fuel system and tank were replaced- again still under original warranty. That was later a recall of course. Then I had to have the clutch replaced again. This time under the extended warranty I had purchased which I still paid a deductible for. And as you can surely guess by now, I've still had the same issues and now my extended warranty as well as Ford's extended warranty, have expired. Yes they can see the clutch needs replaced for a 3rd time, but they would like me to pay out of pocket this time. I have now taken it in for the latest recall and they must order the part and it will be 2-3 weeks before it arrives. He also informed me they got some in today, but they are already spoken for by other unfortunate owners of this awful death trap. How is anyone still allowed to sell this car from a dealership? How are we all still stuck with it? Recall the WHOLE d**n car already!

Thanks for the information, we did get notification of the lawsuit, but at the time we haven't had much issues with the gearbox apart from a little shutter from time to time during pull away. My wife purchased a Demo Ford Focus from a Ford Dealer in 2015 (2014 Model). There were no mention at the time of the shuttering of the gearbox. Naturally the gearbox is a concern for us but what is even more disturbing to me is that Ford keep flagging that the engine has a small oil leak ($2,000 to repair) that nobody else seem to find, and the vehicle do not use any significant oil between services - never had to top-up the oil between services. The last service they also indicated that one of the engine mounts needs replacement, this on a vehicle that has done less than 45,000km. Again a significant repair to a part that I believe should last much longer. How can I trust/buy a Ford again, they offered to pay 20% of the cost. The leaking aircon or faulty speed control I can still consider age related issues but a warn engine mount and a $2,000 oil leak repair that no private service dealer seem to flag, seems very suspicious. Ford got me once with what seemed to be a best in class small sedan but their lack of service support for their onw vehicles is the deal breaker for me. I've met plumbers with better service support than Ford. Best to closeout shop and leave it to the Chinese to build our future vehicles. They'll anyway be more I-Phone than traditional vehicles.

Pissed off mama

Ford motor company has vehicles breaking down on highways all over the country from defective Chinese parts they are using. They’re dealerships are scamming and double talking consumers. How many Highway deaths are ford responsible for? My son made the mistake of buying a Ford Focus , he paid the car off early and it had a recall on this transmission module. He put it in for repair and was using one of my vehicles to get to and from work. The dealership said that they needed thousands of these modules and didn’t know how long it would be. Then my car broke down. He asked dealership for loaner car while they were doing warranty work. Miraculously, days later his car was “fixed”. The transmission started slipping bad a few months outta warranty , the dealership said it was not warranty issue, said that it had nothing to do with AUTOMATIC transmission, that it was the clutch. When I asked him wasn’t the clutch part of transmission, he stated that it was a manual clutch in a automatic transmission! Absurd! I called corporate for ford and they had women running these phone complaints who didn’t know the first thing about mechanics of any of their vehicles. No comprehension what so ever of how their vehicles work. I got a case number and my son has a almost $3000 dollar tab to pay! Hell for $3000 he should of been given a whole new transmission! My father always swore by fords, I bet he’s rolling over in his grave right about now!

Ford Focus ripoff

Son bought a new Ford Focus 2014 Platinum edition most options. 26,000 miles trans started rolling back before taking off at light if it was uphill, dealer said reflash will fix it. Did not do much to help, back in about 3000 miles SSDD, 3000 again SSDD. He just lived with it for about 40,000 more miles as he was driving 1400 miles to and from job weekly, By then it was shuddering bad and would jerk in and out if gear, they said clutch adjustment and reflash. Did that and it was slightly better for about two months. Next time it was close to end of extended warranty and they told him he would have to have a 3000 dollar clutch not covered, he called the warranty people and they put the clutch in the car for deductible. Drove it with all of the dash lights on and the steering and other systems messing up till it finally quit starting. This car is a menace to anyone who owns one and it is totally unsafe it can lose power to all of the connected systemsand put you out of power in the middle lane of an interstate just as easily as sitting at a stop sign. TIME for the folks who own these to put Ford Motor Company out of Business their treachery cannot be allowed to happen. I have heard their new Bronco is already starting a trail of problems with its Large pricetag.

Owner of a 2014 Ford Focus SE

I bought this car because a friend had one, but theirs did not do this. I called the dealership and spoke with the manager of the repair department, who told me they had “no responsibility whatsoever for any problems as the car was an AS-is purchase. I said. How would I know that? On your paperwork you were given. But I wasn’t given any paperwork, yes u were with your book on your car. No sir, did not get that either. Did not believe either thing. I brought the car up there, and they refused to even look at it. So I called the owners, who asked someone to placate me and come look at it, said there was nothing wrong. So, I felt so defeated, so I just went home and cried. I had no car, and a car payment, and everytime they mentioned their cars with a warranty, I wanted to throw something at my TV! Then I found out about this settlement and how people were getting their cars replaced or fixed at Fords expense, but as usual big business wins again. $60 for all my heartache? No thanks. You keep it. I do not need the $60 that bad. You wanna set me up with a check of $600? Go ahead!!! I will take those.

Ford has no answer and doesn’t care

I have a 3014 Ford Focus Titanium. It is currently parked in a grarage awaiting a part that they said May take up to 8 months to arrive on a conservative estimate. Even though they said it needed a transmission control module they told me I could drive it until it completely stopped working. I ask if it would damage the transmission and they said yes. I asked if it was covered by the warranty and they said no.,needless to say I have been without a car now for a month with no relief in sight. The warranty department said they offered long term rentals, but the local dealership doesn’t participate because they said ford motors didn’t reimburse them the last time and they don’t participate any longer. In other words gird did the d***y so they are passing it along to their customers. I have a case number with the warranty department but they never call like they promise and they simply don’t care because it doesn’t affect them. I joined the class action law suit and applied for arnitration but it is just crickets.

I literally hate this car!!!

I just got 2014 ford focus se back in may of this year! It was my first big purchase ever! When we first looked at the car we know something was wrong with it and the lady buy the car from said she can get everything fixed for us! So a week later we go back and the car drives a lot better! We got the car! A few weeks go by and it’s starts driving from but nobody knew what was wrong with it! Will fast forward today! I called ford dealer ship to get this problem fixed but they will not even touch my freakin car!!! The lady at ford give me price range on how much it would be to get the car fixed and it will cost me to get it fixed then what i got the car for!! I can’t even go over 10 mph without my car sounding like it’s going to explode!! I wish i never even got this car!after i get rid is this car i will never own another ford vehicle again!

Deb Kleinschmidt on July 18, 2023

Bought this car due to medical issues.

We had a 2012 Ford Escape and loved it. It did have one issue but was fixed once I myself figured out what the issue was. I started having issues getting in and out of the Escape so we went to look for a lower car. My husband like the look of both the in and outside of the 2014 Ford Focus Titanium HB. At first we liked this car until the shudder started. Again, I have medical issues and this is a huge problem. Nothing like dealing with chronic pain and having a car that shudders. It's really a shame as we have only had very minimal mechanical issues with this car. The transmission issue has been dealt with after numerous complaints and nasty calls to the dealer. Now we are just waiting for it to totally die so we can move on. I've been a die hard Ford fan for many many years and this car made me tell FORD good bye forever.

Joe Walker

My son bought a 2014 focus and within 25000 miles it started to shudder, not hold on a hill and throw codes he was driving it 700 miles twice a week and fighting with the-repair shops to get it fixed. They took it in a few times and said they reprogrammed it. They finally put a clutch in it after it wouldn’t start threw codes and they had to do something fixed. The class action lawsuit set parameters that make it hard for those of us who had never even heard of it to get reimbursement for the aggravation and problems these worthless pieces of junk have caused in the last few years of our lives. As far as I am concerned Ford means For only ripoff deals. Never buying or even riding in another one.

Over $10,000 later for a new transmission just waiting for it to kick the bucket for good

Earlier this year the double clutch and transmission decided it would no it would no longer work in my 2014 Focus. My dad paid to fix it, which took way over $10,000 and over 3 months to fix since there were no new focus transmissions available in January 2022 and the economy started killing us all. Now it runs, although not very good, and when I got it back from the shop he told me to start saving my money for a new car because mine wouldn't last very much longer even with the brand new transmission and clutch! I'm a disabled Iraqi war veteran on VA disability so I can't afford anything. Suppose I'll just stay home for the rest of my life when it finally kicks it!

G Gaspar on December 20, 2022

And now the 2018 Focus has the same problem

I just bought a 2018 two months ago, told that the trans problem was fixed by this year. Well, at 77,460 miles I put it into D and it acted like it was in Neutral. Checked it three times, then put it into Park and then into L for low and the automatic transmission finally engaged. Since it's not a year included in the lawsuit I'll lose the $17,000 I paid for it 2 months ago donating it to charity. Ford is no longer in the car business (other than Mustangs), but if this transmission is shared with their crossovers I'd be wary of buying one--and I'm a long time Ford fan with two Mustangs in the driveway.

2014 Ford Focus trans issue- Lemon car!

My daughter and son in law bought this car and no one told them of its trans issues. The used car dealership said when they sold it to them, they were not aware of trans issues. In the meantime, they were told it would cost $6,000- $7,000 to replace the trans and they owe $7,000 on a car that is parked. * SHAME on FORD for not addressing this issue and screwing innocent hard-working people. I AM SURE they or no one in their families own this car and if they do I bet theirs was fixed asap. Remember ford, Karma is a b***h.

Miss

Thank you SO much for this information, it has completely saved me from insanity. I knew that Ford were trying to get out of liability costs for my car due to their own underhand and absolute disgusting behaviour. I will now be quoting their failings during my meeting with them this week. Thank you so much, I have paid out so much already and had to take a pay cut because i am unable to fill my employment duties...all the while FORD sit there with their FORD FAMILY rubbish and TRUST FORD logo.......WHAT A JOKE

Crystal Davis on February 18, 2022

Mrs

My 2014 Ford Focus was bought used and drove for be. Now I find there’s a recall and the transmission went out sO I towed it to Dave Sinclair dealership. The title is a salvage title and they are trying to get out of paying for it because of that. There was no damage done to the transmission so gthey should fix it under the recall. I will probably have to fight with ford motor company and get a lawyer but they are going to have to honor the recall. It’s ridiculous how big business cheats people.

2014 Ford Focus transmission clutch issuerfrom day one that I purchased it used from car dealer

I purchased the Ford Focus from car max in feb 2020 after they knew of these issues and lawsuit. I was never informed of any issues and thought I had a lemon. Took to Ford dealership and was told nothing was wrong with it… as they lied. I had to pay for diagnostic test of $50 to have them lie. I am all in for this car is the only one I have… a single lady that uses my car for work. If anyone knows if I can get car max to be held responsible that would be great Thank you Jasmin

2014 Ford Focus woes

Soooo, yeah, this heap of garbage served my family for 8 years now. So many headaches, FORD really s**t the bed with this model. Recalls? Check. Class action suit? Check. No back end customer support after tossing this Lemon of a dud out into creation? Double check. Scroll forward to 2021 and I now have a fully paid off car that even FORD won't purchase due to outstanding Recall Status. *lowest rating is 1 star?!?!, too good for this model*

2014 Focus SE

We replaced the transmission 12 months ago, w/ 36k miles on it. Noone informed me of these issues, and we ended up paying 4k for a new transmission. This should have been covered under the extended 7 yr warranty. Fast forward 12 mos later, it went back in for transmission issues twice,could not reproduce, now it failed 3 weeks after the 1 yr warranty. This will be fun

2014 Ford Focus

My son has a ford focus and his transmission isn't working right either he has to drive it like a manuel transmission it's awful, ford tells him due to the civil suit his car is not covered for the transmission. And there was a lawsuit put against ford before my son bought his car. Ford should be responsible for the repairs or replacement of the transmission

What can be done to fix the car?

My sister has not been able to drive her 2014 Ford Focus for six months because of recall parts supposedly stuck on the ship in transit. She still makes payments and works very hard for her money. She’s near retirement and has physical pain daily. I myself am so angry at the FORD Company, they couldn’t care any less!!!

Kitty on February 4, 2023

Spent more fixing my car than it was bought for!

It's cute but that's about it, total money pit. Had to pay to have this car towed to the shop and been left stranded countless times. Avoid this car like the plague. These cars use CVT transmissions. Please do your research on the transmission of whatever car you're getting. $3500 for a used transmission!

Bryan Burkhart on June 6, 2023

Shame on Ford

2014 Ford Escape has the same transmission same problems.

Garbage. These transmissions are garbage. If Ford wants to make amends with their customers they'll fully replace all of these transmissions at no charge. I won't buy another new Ford product. End of story.

Don’t buy a ford

I bought a 2014 Ford Focus and it has a transmission problem. I have had the transmission replaced two times and going on the third and ford don’t want to deal with it. So I guess I will get a lawyer.
