It's part of the fuel pump in the tank.

it probably isn't the fuel filter , what do the plugs look like ? Air filter ? scan for codes and get the definitions even if the light ain't on , has the car been sitting ? any work done lately ?

Thank you for the suggestions! It was the spark plugs. I changed them out and all is well. Thanks again for your help!

This shuddering is common on the DPS6 transmissions. If you feel the shudder, press on the accelerator more to engage the clutches further. This is a "self-learning" transmission, meaning it will adapt to the way you drive your focus and learn to shift smoother accordingly. If you have multiple drivers, this can become an issue for the transmission never really "learns" the way the primary driver drives. Did you have the update for the TCM (transmission control module) installed by the dealer per recall? In most cases it doesn't really help anything but I've seen this update change a focus like night and day, so.... There's plenty that Ford isn't telling consumers about this vehicle. Ranging from improper rear tire camber from the factory, bogus throttle bodies, idle air control valve issues, poor overall suspension and steering components, the list goes on and on. Hopefully yours doesn't turn out to be a total turd lol Good luck
How do you get at the fuel filter
Hiw do you remove fuel filter from a 2013 ford focus
I have a 2013 Ford focus SE and it shudders when I drive it I couldn't find the fuel filter to replace it it's not next to the gas tank any ideas where it's at?
The acceleration is related to the clutch. Your car should be under warranty. You can get the clutch rebuilt for free. My car always shuddered until the clutch was rebuilt (again - for FREE before it became a safety and expensive issue) and my car no longer shudders. It’s smooth!! Drives wonderfully!!! Like a normal pretty little car.

I have a 2015 Ford Focus SE Automatic. I bought it used in March and it ran perfect till about a week ago. The check engine light goes on briefly then shuts off. The acceleration at times almost feels like I'm driving a stick they way it shifts? Any ideas before I take it in?
