EOS 60D focusing issues

My 60D indicates that the picture is in focus, all the squares light up red ,the camera beeps & the shutter takes the picture, but when I look at the picture it is not in Focus, this happens in both manual and autofocus modes, this happens on all my lenses it doesn't matter which one i use. it's not completely out of focus, its just that the focus is not crisp. it also doesn't matter under what lighting conditions im shooting in, it could be daylight, tungsten , led

No part of the picture has a crisp focus, yes the problem is the same live mode also

That sugests that the problem may be camera shake and/or a shutter speed that's too slow.

This is exactly why we need to know all the info involved.  It is possible it may not be the gear at all.

If no part of the picture has crisp focus, it is NOT a focus issue!

Or at least a different set of Phase Detect Sensors for newer Dual Pixel Sensors.

It's not blur, it's just slightly soft, this happens even if I'm on a tripod and in auto

I put it on a focusing chart, using a variety of lenses at various focal lengths & distances from the chart, at no point was there crisp Focus, the camera store contacting canon they think it might be a sensor issue and one $300 a fix-it I figure it is it worth the money

A visit with Canon support is probably the best place.  Let us know what the problme is.
