Just bought this car yesterday. Great deal. Noticed no issues. Thought I did my research but am finding a ton of transmission problems with other reviews. Was wondering if all 16 focus’ were doomed? Only 41000 miles on it ---

Not sure about doomed, but there sure are a lot of issues for such a young car at [CarComplaints](https://www.carcomplaints.com/Ford/Focus/2016/transmission/). If you like this car, it may be worthwhile looking at buying an extended warranty directly from Ford (via their dealers). Most brands will sell them until the comprehensive warranty is expired (3 years 36K or so).
