2014 Ford Focus transmission complaints

While driving my car it would not pull hill when driving, had to pull over and add transmission fluid because it was low. This is the second time I had to add fluid to this vehicle. Is there a recall on this problem or not. Vehicle do not have the power it had when I first bought it
Problems I have had was slipping, bucking, jerking, and suddenly accelerate. In addition, the transmissions caused delayed acceleration and delays in downshifts, cuts off in traffic.
I found out that ford admitted their 6 speed sport transmission is faulty. There is a class action suit against ford for this, but when I notified ford of my intent to join the class (which was required), ford did not respond. When I contacted the class lawyer, they said they could not include me because I had only had the transmission calibrated twice before the deadline. (3 times were required) it is still running poorly. I bought the car from carmax in dec. 2018, so it is very likely that the previous owner had taken the car in for the same transmission problem at least once between (new) 2014 and 2018. I am wondering, "why" when multiple models over several manufacturing years have this same transmission, has there not been an official recall?
Shifts hard hesitates hard to stop
The car want start it will turn on then when trying to go the car stalls out and the car keeps acclerating. It reads engine failure and I havent even had this car two years yet and aint even finish paying I off. I had to get tolled off the highway with my kids do to the car want start and when got it home it started but keeps accelerating. I need this car to get checked or something this is unsafe for my toddlers when I have to use that vehicle to get back and forth to work and take my kids to daycare..what am I suppose to do with a vehicle im still paying on and want start. I have been researching and seen that multiple people been having problems with there ford focus the same problems im having.
I was driving down the street, and my car lost power in the middle of traffic. I couldn't do anything except let the car coast to the nearest side street. This is the first time it has gotten to this particular degree. Before this happened, I was on my way home and as I was leaving the stop light, the car hesitated and took a while before the speed would pick up. It also did some weird things that I can't explain, but know that it shouldn't have happened. After this first incident, I immediately contacted ford and complained about the problem. I was advised that the car had two extended warranties and I should take it into a authorized dealer and have the vehicle diagnosed and that if it was a transmission module issue or something to that effect, it would be covered under the warranty and the repairs would be done at no cost. I took the vehicle to a ford dealership in tennessee and was told that my vehicle had an branded title and the dealership refused to put the car on the machine unless ford corporate called them directly with an authorization code. I called ford corporate back and explained to them what the issue was and the agent put me on hold and called the dealership and gave him all the information he needed to start the work on my vehicle. About three hours later, I was contacted by the dealership and was told to pick up my vehicle because someone from ford had contacted him and said that my warranty was no good. I emailed the ceo at ford corporation, and after two weeks, still haven't heard back from him. I called the corporate office again and was told the same thing as before, which is that my car has two extended warranties and the work should have been done because one warranty covers the transmission whether it has a branded title or not. Now, I have a car sitting up, unnecessary expenses and a dent in my back bumper.

I want to fine a complaint against the ford dealer. I have approximately 3 months with problem. It's because of gas evaporations. I had with me a latter that ford send me to me for recall which I had to have it repaired and they want to charge me for it. Supposedly they repaired that, when they never did and proof of this is that there is the problem as well as the transmission they just marked done and they never did I, because I don't have the problem before and now I have it. They don't want to repaired those 2 factory failures. I want to see what can I do to they fix it at not cost since. It's a factory failure and I'm not the only one with that problem. That is a serious problem they said that in the latter they send me. I send you a picture I had. They took the another one.
This car sometimes loses power when driving which poses a high risk to myself as the driver and any other car behind me.
About two weeks after purchasing my pre-owned 2014 ford focus, I started to experience some slight jerking whenever I pressed on the accelerator pedal. The jerking gradually got worse and I continued to drive to my home. My car stopped suddenly when I was traveling uphill on a highway. I had to sit and wait for a few minutes before I was able to keep driving. When I finally arrived home, I turned my car off and went in. I came back later to go somewhere and my car wouldn't start. I resolved to leave it be since it was the weekend and dealerships were closed. The next day my car started, but the jerking remained and now my check engine light was on. I drove with it for the time being because the dealership (toyota) that I purchased it from said they couldnt look into my possible transmission issues because I didn't purchase the extended warranty. I finally looked pretty deep into the issue and found there was a recall on the car I purchased and that many people experienced the same exact problems as I have.
3 times car would not start. All lights wipers radio and all gauges worked when turning key but car would not turn over. Happened when shopping had to have car towed home . After sitting for a day car would start

My son was on his way to work. He is 16 years old. He got only 1 block away and the check engine light came on and the car started to act up. It wouldn't drive right. He tried to turn around and get my car to go to work. His car wouldn't hardly move he had his foot all the way to the ground and it got to 20 MPH. I just bought this car in january 2020. I was never informed about the extended warranty for the transmission.
The car wont start and a mechanic diagnosed a bad fuel pump. The car has 117,000 miles. Other cars go much longer.
Check engine light comes on and the engine has stopped while in motion, have had it checked out 4 times already. 1st time dealer said there were some wires that are close to the manifold were frayed and then repaired. The last 3 times the check engine light came on I pulled over while driving, turned the engine off waited a few minutes and restarted the car and was able to drive a few miles. I have now taken the car to a different for dealer 3 times in the past 5 weeks and every time it's a different code with the exception of the 3rd time. They replaced the battery at no charge now today 5 days later the check engine light came on again. This will be the 5th time! This has happened on the highway and on city streets. We have spent over $500 and my time getting back and forth from this dealership to remedy this problem.

While driving the car start shudders and the rev went up; the transmission stopped working and show a error message. Went to the dealer and found that my car was out of warranty. When that happened I almost cause a crash.
While driving on highway my RPM will fluctuate up and down. Rpm's will raise high while my speed doesn't increase. My steering wheel pulls to the left. Car wants to stall periodically. It has a hard idol.
My dps6 transmission again had a severe shuddering incident when pulling out into 55 MPH rush hour traffic on a 6-lane highway. After the shudder discontinued and speed was increased to approximately 50 MPH, while attempting to navigate into another lane, I had a significant loss of power after engaging the accelerator to the floor with zero response from the transmission. Due to this defect, my vehicle was struck in the rear by an oncoming vehicle.*dt
Clutch and axle seals replaced for second time within 1 year.
My car is shutting down and the code p068a and I know someone that has the same car same model year same problems transmission problems car not moving no matter how much you hit the gas and he got recalls on the car my car is having the same problems I will be driving on the road and the car will jump shake than go and it's keeps doing it as well as I can be going 20 MPH and my RPM is at 6 not dropping unless my foot is off the gas.

The car has a problem taking off and seems to not want to shift. It now will not drive and I have it at the dealership. Paid over $1000 and still not fixed. Said it was the TCM. Now they want another $800 (saying they are giving me a discount) to change the clutch fork and hopefully that will work. I've had problems since I got it in 2016. Called and there was nothing they could do.
I purchased the ford focus titanium hatchback in 2014 new, and since then it has been to the dealership/mechanic over 25 times due to 2 major defects -- ford powershift transmission and electric/engine issue with draining the battery. I've had 4 batteries and average 6-8 jump starts per year due to the electric problems with the computer draining my battery. I've come very close to having at least 8 accidents due to the transmission fault. The transmission was replaced a couple years ago and it worked without having the shifting stall problem for about 2 months. My dealer said that's "all they can do... Ford doesn't offer any payback or refunds due to these 2 well-known lemon defaults. I just called the 800 number for ford to file a complaint (800‑392‑3673) and they stated that I'd have to call back in 2 hours because their system is down. I asked if I could file a complaint online and they stated, 'no', you must call us to file the report. Details involving the lack of safety due to these 2 issues -- I've had my engine stalled in the middle of traffic on average of 6-8 times per year, putting my young children and self in great danger. I've also had my battery die just hours after parking it in a metropolitan city (miami/tampa/washington dc/chicago/detroit) and had to wait at my vehicle with my children for ford or aaa to help replace/charge my battery -- which took on average 1-2 hours each time. I am requesting that ford purchase my vehicle for the full blue book value, in addition to $10,000 due to the loss of work and lack of safety/hardship/disregard to my safety issues that I've brought to their attention over the past 6 years. Please contact me at [xxx] and leave a message if I'm unable to answer. Thank you, [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The wiper fluid sprayer stopped working. I have no idea why. Then ever since I bought the car it stutters everytime I hit the gas pedal. So each time when taking have it has a shaking sensation. Each time I have taken it to the dealer they say the same thing that the car was made to do that because its an automatic dual transmission.
