While the 2007 Ford Focus automatic transmission is generally trouble-free and does not typically need additional maintenance like the 2011-2016 models that led to a lawsuit against Ford, you should be alert if you notice the OD light flashing after shifting gears. This could indicate a need for service due to potential shift solenoid failure, costing around $250 at a mechanic. Most transmission issues can be resolved by ensuring proper ATF fluid levels and keeping it clean of debris and contaminants.
