Sorry but there is no quick fix. The 2012 to 2016 Ford Focus DPS6 transmission has a host of issue, mainly the internal clutch. Search online for a list and the class action lawsuits to many TSB's. This is a known fault that Ford knew about. Your best bet is to have it replaced or rebuilt at this point or find another vehicle. I would use an Uber in the meantime.
