2017 Ford Focus consumer reviews

Am currently driving one as a loaner and I'll say run far far away these things might be appealing with their good gas mileage but they are terrible cars very squirrly on the highway exspeacally when its windy plus the automatic transmission feels like its full of concrete its shifting is terrible and it has very long 1 and 2nd gears that make city driving it absolute xxxx and then we got to the interior it feels very very cheap no cruise control and putting options on these is so expensive. The only good thing about these cars is they get good gas mileage and the exterior looks alright but other than that run far away go for a Ford fusion instead.

Worst car ever. Brought a used 2017 focus. Didn't make home before warning that transmission was over heating and slipping gears . Called dealership who sold it to me wont first it. Took it to ford told clutches junk . Cost 3000. Now I remember why I don't buy American made cars. I'm on disability. I should need to have to pay for a transmission already on day 1. Ty u ford for yard ornament. A.dollar

We are seniors n bought this car n have had several things wrong. It stop run̈Ning so we put a new battery in it n it still did not start. We took it back to ford Dealer n they put a new starter in n that did not work so they did a diagnostic test on it n said it needs a new engine that they were doing a recall on it at ford manufraction n are going to put a new engine in it but it will take a month to do that. We are seniors n need a car for dr n other appointments n here we set. The ford dealer don't loan out cars . We have a 100 percent warranty on the car . I am so discouraged . We need a small dependable car my husband was in military n he is 81 n we need not to be taken advantage of. Thought you should know Maybe give. Us a different car. That one is financed n we live on pension.

I bought the car and less then a year the transmission go out on my way home from work and because I was relying on my car to get to work I ended up losing my job.

I am the second owner of this car since 2019. It has been excellent, never has had a problem. Super dependable easy to drive in town or highway. Have taken two 2,000 mile trips. Great and good mileage.

PIECE OF JUNK! this car breaks on a monthly basis, at least! would never buy one again, as i'm writing this review its been in the shop for 3 weeks now, clutch pack replacement, again after it was replaced not even 15k miles ago. check engine light is a common sight too. other than its reliability it isn't a bad car, drives decent when working correctly(rarely), and gets great fuel economy.

Never buy a Ford again! Always a recall and No help or progress. Had to purchase a 2nd vehicle because Ford Motor company would not help fix major issues

Transmission went out after 63,777 miles. Doesn't go in reverse. The car is a piece of crap. Do not buy this car. It is not worth it.

My vehicle will be paid off soon. It seems problematic situationa are starting. I read about recalls for 2017 ford focus. I've received NO letters from Ford yet. There are several recalls for make. Model and year 2017.

As far as drivability goes, I’d give the Focus a 5 out of 5! Unfortunately, there’s been major transmission issues with the later Focus models, 2015-forward. The DPS6 Automatic trans w/ manual clutch has a faulty TCM, which causes the transmission to shutter/skip from 1st-2nd gear. Other times, an engine light will appear making the car undrivable! Proceed with EXTREME CAUTION, when purchasing this vehicle.
