Many people talk about Ford Focus transmission issues. Does it really require frequent maintenance, or is the problem exaggerated?

Honestly, it depends on how you use it. If you do regular maintenance and change the transmission fluid on time, you won’t face major issues. But if you neglect it, you might start noticing delayed gear shifts or a slight shudder.

I’ve driven the Focus for a while, and the transmission requires constant attention. The real issue is that repairs are expensive, and if a major failure happens, some people end up replacing the entire transmission because fixing it is too costly.
