Daughter's car has hesitation when driving, took to son who is mechanic. He said it has hesitation, cough idle, loss of power and the gas tank is malformed. He said he looked up the vin and it showed recall 18532-51. I looked on fords website and see that this is recall for their reference number 19S22.

Approaching the George Washington bridge, I was in very very heavy traffic, stopping, starting, going super slowly. Warning light came on telling me to get off the road safely and let the transmission rest for 5 minutes. I followed directions then it happened again, stopped, waited, and it happened again. It is a dangerous area to pull off the road, very narrow breakdown lanes, big trucks, etc etc. Apparently, this is a chronic problem with the Ford Focus of certain years. There are some situations when one cannot get off the road safely, so this is potentially very dangerous. If one doesn't follow the directions one can have an even more serious transmission failure.

- Steering rack and pinion failed while driving and is currently being repaired at dealership - Safety was out at risk due to the malfunctioning occurring while car was being driven. Steering became extremely difficult and felt as if wheel was locking-up. - Car was taken to dealership twice regarding the malfunction.

During second visit at the dealership, it was determined that the steering rack and pinion will need replacing. - There was no warning messages or symptoms prior to the malfunctioning occurring.

Transmission stalled on highway. Have had this car three days and already have stalling out and no power problems! This car is a dangerous vehicle! My 17 year old grandson was almost hit by a truck. The dealership said no problems with the transmission on this car, but after reading all the information about the transmission and many other safety issues, all of these cars should be removed and replaced. Ford made a really dangerous car in those years. It should get a zero safety rating. And the locks are a huge safety issue! Platte valley ford in Kearney said they would look at the lock recall when we brought the car back for transmission flush, but after purchasing this dangerous car three days ago, and already having this transmission stalling out problem, it is time to take legal action!

Powertrain loss and loss of engine power, power control module. Engine failure on a busy highway. Putting me at risk of an accident. The car has been serviced by an independent service center. Has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer. Check engine and other warning lamps appeared

On September 25, 2021 around 11:30pm, I was driving and the steering wheel happened to lock out of nowhere and I’m not able to turn correctly. It was a very dangerous situation and I couldn’t turn and the car was going straight. I was very close to get into a car accident. I bought car without any issues and I’ve been taking good care of it and out of nowhere the steering wheel locked on me and gave me a signal saying “steering loss stop safely” i went to advanced parts to have it tested on a Sunday and they said I needed to replace my catalyst system efficiency which I was aware of that needed to replaced but nothing else showed besides the code they gave me P0420. The vehicle hasn’t been Inspected or component by a insurance company or others.

Size p215/55r16 Tire blew out on the freeway. After close inspection discovered that the blown out tire had severe tread separation.

The tires on the vehicle have a least one year of tread on them.

The power of the car (a 2013 Ford Focus Electric) simply STOPPED within a few seconds of the warning message. A red triangle appeared on the dash with the message Stop Safely Now. I was surprised and pulled over. My safety was at risk because had I been making a left turn in traffic, I would likely NOT HAVE SURVIVED. I was on a country road and able to pull over immediately. The car lost power within seconds and would not move. After my car was towed away, I learned: This is a defect that FORD knows about; it has been confirmed in one of their technical safety bulletins (TSB 17-0045.) It ought to be a RECALL. It is a huge safety issue. The car was towed to a Ford dealership parking lot and could be inspected.

As I was driving down the road my power steering went out. I pulled over and tried to turn the car off and on and had no luck. I then got a warning that said my power steering malfunctioned. I do not know what I would have done if I were on the interstate as I had been 2 minutes earlier. I cannot believe I am alive. This is the second time something like this has happened. The other time I just had my car stall out on the interstate as I drove down it. That time it was a transmission issue.

When accelerating the vehicle pulls back to shift and then will release when going up in RPM’s. After filling car with gas and when on the break the car will stall and takes time to restart the car. Had to pay out of pocket for recall 18S32 due to initially having it looked out and Ford closed out the recall because they recalibrated but did not actually fix the issue so 2 months later I had to pay out of pocket for the recall.

When pulling out on a hill or incline the car hesitates and seems to fall on its face for a short time then it finally picks up and has power. It just feels like it only has ten percent of power. It puts myself and others at risk of being in an accident , especially when pulling out into traffic. It could cause a side impact or rear collision very easily. I have driven a streight shift all my life and never ever had a vehicle seem to stall like this . I try and wait for a very large gap in traffic to pull out. On a hill in traffic I am afraid of getting rear ended trying to get pulled out and going. This has happened several times, it is intermittent .the car has only 60,000 miles, so it isn’t worn out.

Our Ford focus is in the shop for its third transmission module problem.

The car stalled several times while driving. After a mechanics evaluation it was determined that there was a fuel delivery problem. After further evaluation it was confirmed that the problem was a defective purge solenoid. This item was recalled by Ford. However, they did not include this vehicle (by date) in the recall. The recall lists cars made until July 2012 and this vehicle was manufactured in May of 2013. The effect of the defective purge solenoid caused damage to other components of the fuel delivery system. I am now forced to pay for the repairs out-of-pocket. For a problem that is known by (and recalled by) Ford but is excluded from the recall. NOT FAIR

I was driving down the road and getting ready to stop at a red light but all of a sudden my car died completely. Lost all power including electrical and mechanical. Luckily there was no one in front of me so there was no accident but I was forced to push the car out of the middle of the intersection. It still isn't working. The battery is brand new and when I charge it it charges up like it should so I definitely think it's something else on the car causing the issue. I had no warning lights on or anything.

The transmission control module (TCM) failed on my 2013 Ford Focus again. This resulted in me loosing the ability move my car while in an intersection putting my safety and other drivers safety at risk. This required me to get out of my car in an intersection to push it to the side of the road with the assistance of other drivers, further putting our safety at risk. This is not the first time this has happened (loss of driving power in an intersection), and I have had this component and other transmission related components repaired under warranty multiple times by ford dealerships. There were no check engine lights or warning lamps that indicated the problem was going to occur before the vehicle failed.

I was driving and all of a sudden my car just shut down. Completely. It has not electrical power or anything.

Transmission fault service now It has a recall but for will not doing it with out me paying for it they told me 10 year or 150000 miles the last owner had it done 3 times in the last 2 years

Clutch and actuators , car only has 80,000 miles. $3500 transmission repair .

After driving my vehicle it stalls once it is stopped and I try to press the gas. This can cause a collision. This can either be the fuel system which they did have a recall on my car but the dealership decided it wasn't needed at the time. It could also be the power train. This incident has occurred multiple times since 2017.

Check engine light came on. Before I had a chance to get it checked, the engine wouldn't start after refueling until trying on the fourth time. Took the car to a parts store and the code read P1450. An October 25, 2018 recall acknowledged a problem with 2012-18 Ford Focuses with a 2.0L engine. Although this problem is clearly acknowledged with this same year, model, and engine, my VIN is allegedly not covered in the recall. Dealer will not service the car under the recall.

Ford issued a recall on the TCM/ clutch in 2019. This recall was to fix the shuttering in shifting. My focus was repaired by a Ford dealership in 2019 in accordance to the recall. My focus is shuttering again when accelerating. The car has no warning lamp for this issue. I recently had the car in to a ford dealership for diagnostics and they confirmed that the clutch is in need of replacement again. I have contacted ford directly and they refuse to cover the cost of a new clutch. The shuttering affects proper acceleration which is a safety issue.

I am more or less reporting a complaint due to my 2013 Ford Focus has been at AutoNation Ford since 5/17/21 for three recalls but only one has been taken care of and according to the advisor Susan Lee on Recall # 14M02 for TCM, that once they perform the reset procedure that my car may have 50/50 chance of starting due to the dual clutch transmission causing me to replace the clutches at my expense out of pocket. This I do not understand since my car was running before I took it in for the recall. I simply was Secondly, the system haven't confirmed the other two recalls because the mechanic apparently never completed them while having my car for the past two weeks which I thought he would. I am filing this complaint for safety reason because I was advised that I could just take my car without having the TCM reset and take a chance of my car still being able to start or not and I would like to know if the repair of the recall may stop my car from starting then why should I be held responsible for a replacement of the dual clutches for my transmission?

STEERING ASSIST ON VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE COLD. DASH READ "STEERING ASSIST FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED." THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST. FORD HAS CLAIMED IT IS SOFTWARE RELATED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING. I AM AFRAID OF BEING STUCK OUT SOMEWHERE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO STEER. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO MOTORISTS. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT IS WELL KNOWN TO THE ONLINE COMMUNITY. FORD HAS HAD STEERING ASSIST RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PAST. THIS IS AN ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED MAKING THE VEHICLE UNDRIVABLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO COLLEY FORD (1945 AUTO CENTRE DR, GLENDORA, CA 91740) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE POWER STEERING ASSIST NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER PRIORITY FORD (3420 N MILITARY HWY, NORFOLK, VA 23518, (757)583-3673) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE BODY SECURITY MODULE (BSM) FUSE BOX TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 145,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE AND MILES TILL EMPTY IS ALWAYS WRONG SO I CONSTANTLY RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING ANYWHERE. WHEN I PUT THE FUEL NOZZLE IN MY TANK IT MAKES A HISSING NOISE (COMPRESSED AIR) OR IT SPRAYS FUEL OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT WON'T GO OFF.

WHEN I FIRST START MY CAR. THE STEERING FAULT MESSAGE COMES ON AND I CAN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. THEN IT WORKS.I'M AFRAID THAT IT MAY LOCK WHILE DRIVING.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY PARENTS DRIVE WAY AND AS SOON AS I TURNED MY WHEEL STRAIGHT THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING AND WOULD NOT STOP I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND TOOK THE KEY OUT AND THEY STILL WOULD NOT STOP AND THEN THEY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THEY WORKED FOR 3 DAYS LIKE USUAL AND THEN THEY STARTED GOING BY THEMSELVES AGAIN AND ARE CURRENTLY NOT WORKING, I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAD A RECALL ON THEIR WIPERS. IF IT STARTS RAINING I CAN NOT SEE BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY REFUSE TO WORK, AND WHEN THEY START GOING BY THEMSELVES IT'S HARDER FOR ME TO SEE BECAUSE THEY GO FULL SPEED AND WILL NOT STOP EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND THE KEY IS OUT, THEY WENT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WHILE MY CAR WAS OFF. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFTEY ISSUE AND IT'S HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AS ME AND THEY DID EVERYTHING TO TRY TO FIX IT AND NOTHING WORKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL DUE TO A FUEL GAUGE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V515000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) IN NOVEMBER 2020 AT TUTTLE-CLICK'S CAPISTRANO FORD (33301 CAMINO CAPISTRANO, SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA 92675) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE CLUTCH AND THE SHIFTING UNIT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,000.

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. WITHIN MY 10 MILES TO WORK AND BACK THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES ABOUT 6 TIMES AND NEED TO HIT THE BUTTON ON SIDE OF SHIFT KNOB. RADIO SHORTED OUT MAKES A HORRIBLE SOUND EVEN WHEN NOT TURNED ON OR CAR NOT STARTED. HAD TO REMOVE FUSES

WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE TO PARK THE CAR IN MY GARAGE, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. THERE IS AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE CONSOLE THAT SAYS 'STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED'. I CHECKED IT THE FOLLOWING DAY, AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSION THE CAR JERKS AND THE CLUTCH IS MESSED UP. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, CLUTCH, REPEATED RECALLS.

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I GOT IT 5 YEARS AGO. I WAS LEAVING TO TAKE MY SON TO A DR APPOINTMENT. I GOT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE SERVICE ENGINE NOW POPS UP. A LOUD POP SOUND CAME THRU MY SPEAKERS AND THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING. THEN I STARTED LOSING RPMS AND POWER TO MY CAR IT WOULDN'T GO OVER 10MPH. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP IT BACK HOME VERY SLOWLY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON I'VE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT/CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND PURGE VALVE. I'VE HAD ALL THE RECALLS FIXED ON IT DEALING WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WHEN FORD MADE THIS CAR THEY CLEARLY WASN'T THINKING STRAIGHT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND I'M SO GLAD WE MADE IT BACK HOME SAFE MY CHILD WAS TERRIFIED. NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT AND I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO KEEP PUTTING IN A CAR THAT KEEPS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES OVER AND OVER.

TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING AS IF THE GEARS ARE NOT CATCHING DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF SHIFTING. ENGINE SEEMS TO LOSE COMPRESSION. MECHANIC AFTER MECHANIC SEEMS TO HAVE A HARD TIME DIAGNOSING AND REPAIRING ISSUES.

FORD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WONT GO AWAY!! TRANSMISSION SHUTTER AND POOR INITIAL ACCELERATION. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND TCM TWICE BY FORD DEALER. AFTER THE LAST TCM REPLACEMENT IN 2016 PROBLEMS CONTINUED AND I WAS TURNED AWAY BY FORD DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THAT FINALLY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON U0101, P07A3, I AM NOW OVER 100, 000 MILES THE CLUTCH IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE TCM IS. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR LOST ALL ACCELERATION ABILITIES WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY OR SIMPLY FAIL TO ACCELERATE AND A TRAFFIC LIGHT CAUSING MAJOR DELAYS FOR ANYONE AROUND ME. IT HAS BEEN A SAFTEY CONCERN FOR YEARS DUE TO THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF THE TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY NOT ALLOWING ACCELERATION.

I HAVE SEEN MANY VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE ON WHAT COULD OF BEEN WRONG AND THEY ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH WAS THE STEERING RACK AND PINION VERY EXPENSIVE AND UNSAFE FIX MY CHILD WAS IN THE CAR WHILE WE WAS DRIVING WHEN MINE BROKE ONLY 28 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR NOT VERY HAPPY

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER 76,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION WOULD OCCASIONALLY SLIP EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS SINCE INITIAL PURCHASE. A FEW DAYS BEFORE TRANSMISSION FAILURE THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND WOULD HAVE INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. ULTIMATELY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING AND ONCE PARKED, THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY START IN NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR AROUND 1-2 YEARS AND THEN WAS MAINTAINED IN A STORAGE STATE FOR 4 YEARS AND THEN WAS DRIVEN FOR ANOTHER 1-2 YEARS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 76,000 MILES. THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING IS AND REPORTS SAY THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE START. TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHILE DRIVING POSE A MODERATE SAFETY CONCERN AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ON THE ROAD IN A TRAFFIC CONDITION. BASED ON NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON THIS VEHICLE, FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND AN OFFICIAL RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FOR THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2013 FORD FOCUS! THE CONDITIONS FOR THIS RECALL SHOULD BE BASED ON MEETING ONE (NOT BOTH) OF THE FOLLOWING: LESS THAN 7/10 YEARS, OR 100,000/150,000 MILES.

VEHICLE SHUDDERING ON ACCELERATION. AT AN INTERSECTION/FULL STOP CAR WOULD SPUTTER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. AT CRUISING SPEEDS, RPM'S WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE.

THE CAR ISN'T DRIVABLE. WHEN I START IT IT MAKES CLICKING NOISE AND HARD TO START. IF DRIVING IT, IT DOESN'T GIVE ANY GAS OR GO OVER 20 MILES. IT SOMETIMES SHUT OFF AND SOMETIMES HAVE A HARD TIME DRIVING FOWARD. CODES P0087, P0783, P2872, COMES UP ON A DIAGNOSTIC. THAT'S DRIVING ON A STREET AND CAN'T DRIVE ON HIGHWAY ANYMORE.

THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY HARD TO TURN. THERE IS NO LIGHT OR CODE. IT'S VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT FORD WILL BE HEARING FROM OUR LAWYERS. THIS SHOULD'VE HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALONG WITH THE OTHER MODELS AND YEARS THAT HAD THE SAME ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEMS.

WHEN I GO AROUND CURVES IT'S JERKY AND HARD TO GET TO TURN. COULD BE DANGEROUS AND I'VE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT.

2013 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. *JS *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND PARKED THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR FIVE MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO HER DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER SUPER FORD (1340 500 W, SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84115, (801) 783-4473) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE CLUTCH TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,232.

GOT IN MY CAR TO GO WORK STARTED DOWN ROAD AND THE ADA'S IT SHOWED UP ON MY DASH THAT IT WAS THE TRANS FAULT SERVICE NOW I TURNED AROUND AND COME HOME. I CALLED THE SERVICE MAN AT FORD PLACE WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WAS TAKING TO THEM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS NOT PULLING RIGHT THEY LOOKED AT IT AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND I CALLED THEM AND NOTHING WAS DONE IN JUNE 2019 AND NOW MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE NOW IT'S BEEN DOWN SINCE 12/24/2020 I CALLED THE FORD PLACE AND THEY CAN'T GET IT IN TILL 01/04/2021. THIS HAS BEEN VERY INCONVENIENT FOR NOT DO I HAVE HEALTH ISSUES,BUT MY DAUGHTER IS 81/2 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I HAVE NO WAY TO GO . I'VE ONLY HAVE HAD THIS CAR 1YEAR AND 8 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRUNK INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO UNLOCK WHILE DEPRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD STORE MORGAN HILL (17045 CONDIT RD, MORGAN HILL, CA 95037) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V698000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE) AND THAT HE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

CAR IS LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD, STEERING COMPLETELY FAILS IN VERY COLD WEATHER DESPITE A FULLY ELECTRIC EPAS STEERING SYSTEM (NO POWER STEERING FLUID). IN ADDITION TO THE RADIATOR AND FUEL PUMP NEEDING REPLACEMENT WITHIN THE FULL LIFESPAN OF THIS CAR, IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND NOT ROAD WORTHY.

THE VEHICLE WILL STRUGGLE TO START OR FAIL TO START ONCE REFUELED. WHEN IDLE THE CAR WILL INCREASE TO 1,500-2000 RPM WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. AT TIMES WHILE IDLE, THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO FLUTTER AROUND 400-500 RPM THREATENING TO STALL (HAS DONE MORE THAN ONCE). THE FUEL GAUGE READS INACCURATE MEASURING A QUARTER TANK MORE THAN ACTUAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR A CANISTER PURGE VALUE ISSUE.

THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL ACTUAL FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WENT INTO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT GO BACK INTO GEAR. WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IT WOULD ONLY REV THE RPMS HIGH AND FALL BACK DOWN, NO REACTION BY THE TRANSMISSION WHATSOEVER. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL CARS WHILE TRYING TO MOVE OVER, WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT RESPONDING TO MY GAS PEDAL. THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE TCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FOR MY VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I SCANNED THE CODE WITH A PROFESSIONAL OBD2 READER. THE CODE WAS FOR TCM. CAPITAL FORD AT CHARLOTTE CALLED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE "SHIFT ACTUATOR", (A $60 PART), NOT THE TCM, AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THEY WANTED $2800 TO REPLACE THE PART, A $60 PART. I CALLED FORD, AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER TO "TRY" TO GET IT REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE SERVICE DIRECTOR AT CAPITAL FORD TOLD ME HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS FORD TELLS HIM TO DO SO, AND THUS FAR THEY HAVE NOT APPROVED ANYTHING TO BE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN. I AM GLAD IT WAS ME DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY USING MY CRUISE CONTROL AND THE MOTOR REVVED UP REALLY HIGH AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL AND THE TRANSMISSION WASN'T GOING INTO TO ANY GEAR. I HAD TO START OFF IN LOW GEAR AND WHEN I GOT TO 15-20MPH PUT IN DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION JERKS SO HARD IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE HAD HIT US FROM BEHIND IVE BEEN READING UP ON THIS AND I FEEL THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. ALSO THE POWER STEERING HAS SHOWED 2 TIMES THERES SOMETHING FAILING ON IT TURNING AROUND IN A PARLING LOT AND ALL THE SUDDEN IMA NOT ABLE TO TURN ALMOST HIT 2 PEOPLE. IT WAS HORRIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE AND JERK FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER - GWINNETT PLACE FORD (3230 SATELLITE BLVD, DULUTH, GA 30096; (404) 418-6877) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SIX OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE GIVES A "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WITH A RED TRIANGLE ICON. THIS IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF POWER AND A SUDDEN STALL OR INABILITY TO EVEN START. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND WHILE IT WAS STOPPED.

MY POWER STEERING WONT WORK AT ALL. I JUST BARELY GOT THE CAR AND HAD IT FOR 3 WEEKS AND THIS HAPPENED. I WAS LITERALLY DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND NOW FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME $2200 THAT I CANNOT AFFORD RIGHT NOW.

WIRING HARNESS IN TRUNK ALL WIRES ARE EITHER BROKEN OR EXPOSED CA'T ACCESS MY TRUNK HAVE TO PUT DOWN BACK SEAT AND GO TO TRUNK TO OPEN

I HAVE HAD MY FOCUS IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION. EACH TIME THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCHES & SEALS. NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS THE CLUTCHES, SEALS, THROW OUT BEARING AND FORKS AT A COST OF $2231.00 & IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2013 & FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. I WOULD SAY THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL AS MECHANICAL.

WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR HAS 87,000 MILES ON IT. JUST QUIT DRIVING WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACK AND FOUND OUT IT HAS HAD 4 CLUTCHES REPLACED. HAVE HAD IT AT HUNT FORD IN FRANKLIN,KY. SAID THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $4,000, I SAID CANNOT AFFORD THAT, TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC HIS TRANSMISSION GUY COULD NOT FIX IT OR GET PARTS, TOOK IT TO GREENWOOD FORD IN BOWLING GREEN, KY. SAME THING AS HUNT FORD $4,000 JOB. SOMETHING HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME. THE CAR WON'T EVEN DRIVE NOW. I PAID $4,000 FOR THIS CAR FOR MY NIECE I AM STUCK! I AM DISCOURAGED. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS WHOLE TRANSMISSION? THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN CHANGED MANY TIMES AND I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION. FORD NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS. CAN YOU HELP ME?

CAR IN MOTION IN A STREET AND SUDDENLY STOPPED AND MY WIFE COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL. UNTIL SHE MANAGED SOMEHOW TO PARK IT. (POWER STEERING PROBLEM). SPEED PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATING, CAR SLOWED DOWN IN HIGHWAY SUDDENLY WHILE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME. IT DID IT 5 TIMES IN DIFFERENT DAYS. (TRANSMISSION PROBLEM). NOW CAR IS PARKED SINCE 3 MONTHS IN PARKING LOT. SINCE 2016 I REPORTED 5 TIMES TO FORD DEALERS THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I FILED ONLINE REPORT. I REPORTED IN 2019 POWER STEERING PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. I FIXED IT. NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE MY 2013 FOCUS FOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEM SINCE 3 MONTHS. THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM PAYING A LEASE FOR NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR.

POWER ASSIST FAULT FAILED. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON ALL OTHER FORD MODELS EXCEPT 2013 FORD FOCUS. I STARTED MY CAR AND POWER ASSIST FAULT APPEARED NEEDING SERVICE. I COULD NOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS PARKED AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I WERE DRIVING. SINCE OTHER FORD MODELS WERE RECALLED WHY NOT THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE? IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UP HILL AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC RETRIEVED FAULT CODE: P1450 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUNTINGTON BEACH FORD (18255 BEACH BLVD, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92648, (714) 842-6611) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,595. INVALID VIN.

I WAS DRIVING INSIDE TOWN WHEN I BEGAN TO FEEL THE STEERING GETTING STIFF. I STOPPED TO GET GAS TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT THE STEERING GOT MUCH STIFFER AND WAS MAKING SQUEAKY SOUND. AFTER THAT IT WAS VERY TOUGH TO DRIVE BACK HOME. AFTER REACHING AND STOPPING THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL HAS COMPLETELY GONE STIFF. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING.

THE CAR SHUDDERS WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP AFTER A STOP, THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF, BUT, VERY FREQUENTLY. IT ALSO PRODUCES A SLIGHT CLANGING SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ONCE THE CAR SHUDDERS IT WILL CONTINUE SHUDDERING EVERY TIME YOU STOP FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE. THIS IS CONCERNING AS THE CAR KIND OF STRUGGLES TO JUMP TO THE NEXT GEAR.

STEERING FAULT ALERT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING IN COMMUNITY TO PICK UP MAIL I.E APPROXIMATELY 15MPH. WENT TO FORD DEALERSHIP VIA THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALMOST CAUSING A PILE UP!! THAT'S AT 60MPH! DIAGNOSTIC DONE SHOWED THE ENTIRE STEERING UNIT, GEAR, COMPUTER UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY PER FORD COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE AND LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. COST 2146.50 OUT OF POCKET! NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSSUE BUT RATHER A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. SO WHY ISN'T FORD RECALLING OR EXTENDING WARRANTY?! THEY NEED TO. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND A COMMON FIND IN THESE CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER HIS DAUGHTER STARTED THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE MESSAGE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER MAX MOTORS FORD LOCATED AT 2502 CANTRELL RD, HARRISONVILLE, MO 64701, WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. *DT *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN AUGUST OF 2017 IN BASTROP, TEXAS AT BENNY BOYD USED CAR SALES. IT BROKE 20 DAYS LATER , WHERE IT WENT TO BASTROP FORD , UNKNOWN AS TO WHAT RECALL THEY REPAIRED BUT IT RETURNED TO THE SHOP ABOUT LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER WITH ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE , I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES SEVERAL TIMES , I NOW HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AGAIN AND HAVE SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2018 I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN TO MY HOME STATE AND OR BE ABLE TO GET A NEW CAR BUT BECAUSE THIS CAR HAS CONSUMED AND NEARLY DIMINISHED ALMOST EVERY PART OF MY LIVELYHOOD AND SELF WORTH , FINANCES, DEBT , ETC . I AM UNABLE TO EVEN OPERATE AS A NORMAL HUMAN. I NEED THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED BECAUSE THE CAR DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE FEDERAL RECALLS AND OR BUYBACK TILL 2023. . THIS CAR LOSES GEAR, HAS CLUTCH AND TRANS ISSUES DESCRIBED THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE'S IN ALL FORUMS AND COMPLAINT SITE ACROSS THE WEB. BACKWARDS IN DRIVE STALLS AT LIGHTS LOSES GEAR WHILE DRIVING MAKES ROBOT SOUNDS ETC. I HAVE RUINED MY LIFE BY PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK TO BEING PRODUCTIVE. I HAVE A MIRAGE OF HEALTH ISSUES SO THIS IS NOT EASY CONSIDERING I SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF MY EVERYDAY LIFE BECAUSE I ORCHARD A VEHICLE TO DRIVE NOT SIT AND WATCH IT PARKED WHILE PAYING 400 A MONTH IN IT. I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS AND SOLUTIONS . I AM IN FIRE NEED OF SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS FROM ALL ASPECTS . THANK YOU .

I STARTED THE CAR AND THE STEERING ASSIST FAULT ALERT CAME UP AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THERE WAS NO LONGER AN ISSUE. THE CAR ALSO JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS TO HAVE REPAIRED.

I PURCHASED A FORD FOCUS SE FROM MCCARTHY FORD IN ILLINOIS IN 2015. SINCE HAVING THE CAR, I'VE CONSTANTLY EXPERIENCED JERKING WHILE ACCELERATING, LACK OF ACCELERATION, WHICH WAS DANGEROUS, WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, OR ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TRUCKS SPEEDING BY YOU BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE QUICK ENOUGH. I CONSTANTLY COMPLAINED TO FORD DEALER ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND THE KEPT REPAIRING IT UNDER THE GUISE THAT 'OH YOUR TCM(TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) BEDS REPROGRAMMING' OR IT WAS 'YOUR CAR WAS ORIGINALLY A STICK SHIFT THAT THEY TURNED AUTOMATIC, AND WHAT YOU FEEL, IS YOUR CAR SHIFTING GEARS'. THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY ASSURED ME I DIDN'T HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES, SO I LET THEM FIX THIS SAME ISSUE MORE THAN 5 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF WARRANTY. IN JULY 2020, MY CAR STOPPED AND WOULDN'T DRIVE AT ALL. I TOOK IT TO FORD, AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS THE TCM AGAIN, AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED WITH NO CUSTOMER TO ME. HOWEVER, THE CAR NEVER STOP JERKING OR THE ACCELERATION WAS ALWAYS LACKING, LIKE IT'S ALWAYS DONE, BEFORE AND AFTER A REPAIR. OCTOBER 11,2020, I TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, AND NOW I NEED A TRANSMISSION CLUTCH, THAT FORD CLAIMS IS $1700 DOLLARS TO FIX. NOW, I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THESE EXACT ISSUES, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING, ALL THESE YEARS. BUT, NOW MY WARRANTY IS UP ON THE TRANSMISSION AND NOW IT'S SUPPOSEDLY GONE OUT. I HAVE LESS THAN 6 MONTHS TO PAY ON THIS VEHICLE, I'M A SINGLE MOM, A STUDENT, AND UNEMPLOYED DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE THIS MONEY, AS I FEEL FORD AS BLACKBALLED ME, AND AS I READ REVIEWS, APPARENTLY THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. I AM DEVASTATED, AND DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. IS THERE ANY WAY NHTSA CAN HELP, OR HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS? THE POTENTIAL DANGER I'VE DEALT WITH WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ALL THESE YEARS, WITH MINIMAL ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING GEARS. THANK YOU! !

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REPAIRED ONES AND BROCKE AGAIN. 2 TIMES TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND HAD THE CLUCH REPLACED. AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR RUBBER SEAL KEEPS FALLING OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SOON AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE HESITATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO WESTERN SLOPE FORD (2264 US-50, GRAND JUNCTION, CO 81505) WHERE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONFIRMED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK VACUUM PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V515000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER ISSUE. THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED THROUGH A COMPLETE REBUILD OF MY TRANSMISSION, BUT THIS ISSUE THAT SHOULD NO LONGER EVEN EXIST, DUE TO NEW PARTS IS STILL THERE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING. I THINK THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE REPLACED DUE TO FORD'S ONGOING ISSUE. I THINK THEY ARE USING EITHER USED PARTS, OR THEY KNOW THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THIS ISSUES ARE FAULTY AS WELL AND CONTINUE TO DO THIS TO CUSTOMERS.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING COOLING PROBLEMS FOR MONTHS. IT WOULD RUN HOT WITHOUT ANY SIGNAL OF IT GETTING TO HOT. NOW IT WONT CRANK. I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 65 MPH AND SMELLED BURNING PULLED OVER AND WOULDN'T CRANK AGAIN.

WHEN I WENT TO WARM UP MY CAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK RIGHT. IT TAKES A WHILE TO ENGAGE THE GEAR AND WON'T GO PAST 30 MPH. IT SHIFTS VERY ROUGH. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW EVERY TWO DAYS NOW. I HAVE DONE THE TCM ADAPTIVE LEARNING SERVICE IN FORSCAN AND I HAVE UPDATED THE PCM AND TCM AND ABS MODULES TO THE LATEST CALIBRATION. AFTER THE TCM ADAPTIVE LEARNING IT SHIFTS FINE BUT THE DTC'S WILL COME BACK ON IN A FEW DAYS. THE DTC'S ARE P2831, P2833, AND P287B. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO? THE BATTERY AND BATTERY CABLES ARE FINE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND I TURNED LEFT AND HONKED THE HORN BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS STILL SITTING AT THE GREEN LIGHT. AS I TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL BACK STRAIGHT THE WIPERS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES AND WOULDN'T GO BACK OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A YEAR. THEY TURN ON BY THEMSELVES EVEN WHEN THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE VIDEO PROOF NOT PICTURES. THEY DON'T WORK IN THE RAIN AND I'VE TRIED JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I CAN TO FIX THEM BUT TO NO AVAIL. IF YOU LOOK UP WIPERS COMING ON BY THEMSELVES ON 2013 FORD FOCUS YOU'LL SEE THAT MY CAR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE DOING THIS. I'M SCARED SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INJURED OR POSSIBLY KILLED BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T SEE WHEN A RAINSTORM SNEAKS UP ON THEM.

THE STEERING ASSIST KEEPS FAILING ON THIS CAR THAT I BOUGH FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER MAKING IT NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY THE ONE TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT WAS ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON START UP. FOR HAS RECALLED THIS SAME STEERING ISSUES ON OTHER MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME ELECTRONIC STEERING WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. BUT NOT THE FORD FOCUS! SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS IF THERE IS NO RECALL. MANY PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD 2K TO FIX IT THEMSELVES. SHAME ON YOU FORD!

I JUST BOUGHT IS CAR WEDNESDAY THE 09TH 2020 AND ON THURSDAY THE 17TH I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE GARAGE AFTER GETTING IT INSPECTED, I GO BACK TO WORK AND LEAVE AROUND 730PM I WENT TO DROP MY FRIEND OFF AT HER HOUSE, HER HOUSE IS LOCATED ON A HILL, ONCE I TURNED THE CORNER AND HIT THE GAS, THE CAR BACKFIRED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL, EVERYTIME I STOP THE CAR IS HESITANT TO MOVE EVERYTIME I TRY AND TAKE OFF. ALSO WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY HOME I HAD TO TAKE A ROAD WITH A HILL AND WHAT A MISTAKE I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP THAT'S WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO GO INTO REVERSE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED BOB ROHRMAN SCHAUMBURG FORD (815 E GOLF RD, SCHAUMBURG, IL 60173), AND INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. AN APPOINTMENT WAS NOT YET SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING INTO SECOND GEAR PREVIOUSLY AND WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

CAR WAS RUNNING AND THEN JUST DIED. CAR WAS STATIONARY.

I TOOK CAR TO DEALER BACK LAST YEAR FOR A FUEL PROBLEM RECALL AND WHEN I WAS TAKING CAR TO DEALER THE CAR SHUTTERED AND DIED AND I ABOUT HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.I CALLED ALLEN VIGIL FORD.THEY SAID THEY DID THE RECALL BUT THEY REPLACED CLUTCH AND NOW ENGINE LIGHTS BEEN ON EVER SINCE.BEFORE I PICKED IT UP THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY TOOK IT BACK AND TURED OUT THE LIGHT.WENT TWO BLOCKS IT CAME BACK ON.TOOK IT BACK AND THEY DID IT AGAIN SAME THING HAPPENED WENT 2 BLOCKS AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.I LEFT IT FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEY CALLED AND SAID IT WAS READY.I HAD MY WIFE PICK IT UP AND GOT HALFWAY HOW AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON.BEEN ON EVER SINCE. I ALL SO TOLD THEM THAT WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO RE CRANK ENGINE.I TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER FORD DEALER THEY TRIED TO SELL ME ANOTHER CLUTCH.SO I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW.

POWER STEERING WILL NOT WORK. BEGAN HAVING ISSUES SEVERAL MONTHS AGO BUT RE-CRANKING WOULD FIX ISSUE. NOW POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY OUT. WHAT A DRIVING HAZARD THIS IS AND IT'S OBVIOUS A BIG ISSUE IN THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHY NO RECALL? THIS IS A 2013 FORD FOCUS WITH 70,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN FINALLY WENT OUT.

WHILE DRIVING ONLY 20 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST SHOP. THEY SAID THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE FAILED WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT. THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID THAT DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT NEEDED A HEAD GASKET REPLACED. AFTER OPENING THE ENGINE THEY SAID THAT ITS WARPED. THE CAR (SE MODEL) HAS ONLY 84000 MILES AND WAS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED CAR WE BOUGHT FEB 2016. I WILL BE CONTACTING FORD MANUFACTURER ON A POSSIBLE RECALL #19522 AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP AS THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 7 YEAR 100000 WARRANTY.

THERE IS A SHUDDER ON TAKE OFF AND VIBRATION WHILE ACCELERATING - 2013 FORD FOCUS. 2013 FORD FOCUS TO VIBRATE UPON ACCELERATION. FROM YOUR DESCRIPTION, IT DESCRIBING AN ENGINE MISFIRE. MISFIRES CAN BE CAUSED BY MANY ISSUES, BUT THE MOST COMMON ARE SPARK PLUGS, COIL, FUEL PUMP, FUEL INJECTORS, MAF SENSOR, VACUUM LEAKS, OR A WIRING HARNESS FAULT.

CAR WAS TRAVELING ON PUBLIC ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 50MPH WHEN TRANSMISSION SHIFTED TO NUETRAL AND ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING LOOSE OF CONTROL AND CAR LEFT ROADWAY ONTO GRASS SHOULDER AND INTO DITCH. NO STEERING AND NO BRAKES. NO INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 5 OR 6 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS SINCE PURCHASE. CURRENTLY CAR WILL NOT START OR RUN DUE TO WARNING ON SCREEN SAYING "PARKING AID MALFUNCTION SERVICE REQUIRED". HAVE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE. HAVEN'T GOTTEN MUCH ASSISTANCE FROM EITHER CONCERNING THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN BECAUSE OF IT

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING LIGHT AND ALSO POWER STEERING THAT'S COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. IT FIRST WENT OUT AND WHEN THE CAR WAS TURN OFF AND BACK ON, IT WORKED BUT WENT OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN INOPERABLE SINCE THE SECOND LOST OF STEERING.

TCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ERROR CODE CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AND NOT SHIFT GEARS WHEN DRIVING.

FORD FOCUS 2013 TITANIUM IN MARCH 2020 ON INTERSTATE 90 BETWEEN ST CHARLES MN AND EYOTA MN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AT 70 MPH AND HAD 32 MILES TO EMPTY READING ON GAUGE. VEHICLE FLATBED TOWED TO HOME 35 MILES AWAY AND GAS WAS ADDED AND VEHICLE RAN FINE. AUGUST 2020 SAME VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON STATE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH 21 MILES TO EMPTY ON READING. AGAIN VEHICLE FLATBED TOWED HOME AND GAS WAS ADDED AND VEHICLE HAS RAN FINE SINCE. I BELIEVE THAT THE GAS GAUGE IS FAULTY IN THIS MODEL OF FORD FOCUS AS IN OTHER YEARS BUT NO RECALL YET FOR MODEL 2013 YEAR. WE WILL MAKE SURE GAS DOESNT GET BELOW 50 MILES AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW WITHIN 5 MONTHS AND NOT A COINCIDENCE.

THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT AND THESE DTC'S ARE PRESENT. P2831, P2832, P287B. I HAVE RAN THE TCM ADAPTIVE RELEARN SERVICE AND THESE WILL COME BACK ON SOONER OR LATER. I HAVE MAINLY BEEN ONLY WARMING UP MY CAR AND THEY WILL COME BACK ON SOMETIMES IN A FEW WEEKS. I HAVE CHANGED OUT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DUE TO CORROSION AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW? IS A TCM MODULE UPDATE NEEDED?

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT A RECALL WAS PRESENT ON THE MODEL AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT A RECALL COULD POSSIBLE BE ON THE VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE CAR VIBRATES WHEN YOU ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. AND IT ONLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP AND NOW WHILE DRIVING . SEVERAL FORUMS SHOW THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THINKING IT'S THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY STATE IT'S FINE.

EXTREME SHUDDERING AND JERKING. CLUTCH IS NOT SHIFTING INTO GEARS. THIS CAR IS A HAZARD. COMPLETE LEMON

WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN ON. THEN THEY CAN ON BY THEMSELVES, FUNCTIONED IRRATIONALLY AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE KEYS WERE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND AN ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND INSTANTLY POWER STEERING STOPPED WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. I HAD TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE HOUSE WHICH WAS 10 MINS AWAY AND PARK IT WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT EASY CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES. FORD STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON ELECTRICAL OR POWER STEERING FOR THIS MODEL BUT I HAVE SEEN THAT SOME OTHER MODELS HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ITS CONCERNING. LUCKILY, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE CAR AND MY CHILDREN WERE NOT PRESENT. I AM ALSO THANKFUL I WAS NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS OCCURRED AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS OCCURRED YESTERDAY, 8/26/2020 IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN.

THE TRANSMISSION STICKS AND VEHICLE IS HARD TO GET UP TO SPEED. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED DEALER AND IT'S THE AUTOMATIC CLUTCH AND SAID THEY SEE THE FORDS AND FIESTAS DOING THIS A LOT!

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS IN FIRST GEAR AND CHANGES HARD TO SECOND GEAR. THE VEHLCLE WAS CHECKED AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CLUTCH PROBLEMS, IN WHICH THE COMPANY WHICH HAD THE CAR KNEW ABOUT. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THE COMPANY HAD THE CAR WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT PARTICULAR PART 2 YEARS AGO. THE FORD COMPANY KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM ALL THE TIME, AND ISSUED A WARRANTY WHICH HAS EXPIRED. IF THE CAR WAS WORKED ON UNDER THE FIRST RECALL, THE WARRANTY SHOULD BE VALID BECAUSE IT WASNT FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN HARD SHIFTING AND JERKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A BAD TCM AND TWO BAD CLUTCHES. THE BAD TCM WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY FORD UNDER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 14M02 (10 YR/150K MILE WARRANTY), BUT THE CLUTCHES WERE NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER PROGRAM 14M01 (7 YR/100K MILE WARRANTY) BECAUSE THE CAR WAS 7 YR 5 MO OLD. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO HAVE FAILED SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND THESE CLUTCHES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PROMPTLY REPAIRED IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

STEERING FAULT CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM FORD SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THIS KIND OF CAR. I HAVE HAD ISSUES AFTER ISSUES WITH THIS 2013 FORD I HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET AND NOW THIS LESS THAN 47K THIS CAR MODEL IS A LEMON!! AS MUCH TROUBLE THIS CAR HAS CASED ME I SHOULD GET A FULL REFUND AND FORD SHOULD BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK BACK I HAVE 4 FORDS BUT THIS FORD IS MY LAST ONE I WILL BUY A HONDA OR SOMETHING ELSE FORD IS NOT WHAT IT USE TOO BE!

I WAS DRIVING ALONG WITH MY 3 CHILDREN WHEN MY FORD EXPLORER 2011 SUDDENLY TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS INFORMED THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE PROBLEMS.

"STEERING ASSIST FAULT".. "STEERING LOSS". VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STEERING LOSS WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH AND NEARLY CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST CAN FAIL WITH OUT WARNING, WHICH RESULTS IN LOSS OF STEERING WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

I WENT TO HAVE MY TIRES ROTATED ON MY 2013 FORD FOCUS SE AND I WAS TOLD THAT ALL MY LUGNUTS NEED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THEY CHANGED FORM FROM THE HEAT. IN ALL THE CARS THAT I HAVE HAD THIS HAS NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE. NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

RECALL PERFORMED ON PURGE VALVE....STILL CANT BREATH INSIDE THE CABIN FROM THE FUMES...WAS TOLD IT THE CAT CONVERTER..... 1550 BEFORE TAX

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FRITTS FORD (8000 AUTO DR, RIVERSIDE, CA 92504) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000.

MY CAR IS CONSTANTLY HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THE RADIO WILL CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAYING IT WON'T TURN BACK ON MY CAR LITERALLY HASS TO BE TURNED OFF FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE RADIO WILL COME BACK ON AT ALL AND THEN IT DISCONNECTS AND MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND LIKE SOMETHINGS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE IN THE CAR WON'T EVEN BE ON NOR WILL THE KEY BE IN THE IGNITION I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNSAFE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THAT KIND OF ANNOYS IS A BIG DISTRACTION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HAS HESITATED A NUMBER OF TIMES WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT OR IN THE RAIN OR WHILE I'M TRYING TO MAKE A TURN OR WHEN I'M TAKING OFF IT DOESN'T MATTER IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T GET ENOUGH GAS OR IT HAS PROBLEMS SWITCHING WITH THE RPMS AND THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM THIS IS NOT JUST ONE OR TWO TIMES THIS IS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT RIDICULOUS CONSIDERING THIS CAR HAS A FIVE STAR RATING DEFINITELY NOT A FIVE STAR RATING CAR CONSIDERING HOW MANY TIMES I'VE BEEN STUCK OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOTTEN INTO CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS CARI WOULD REALLY LIKE FOR THIS TO BE INVESTIGATED QUICKLY THIS IS A LIABILITY TO ANYONE WHO OWNS THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR

RIVING THE CAR SUDENLY THE CAR HEASITES TO GO ON SPEED LIKE THE TRANS MISSION IS NOT RESPONDING ALSO WHEN YOU PARK THE CAR AND CAME BACK TO START THE CAR DON'T START A FEW HOURS LATER YOU CAME BACK AND THE CAR STARTS, WE WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSIS ON THE CAR AND TOLD US THAT THE CAR HAS A MODULE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH PROBLEM , WE FIND OUT DAYS BEFORE THAT THE CAR HAS A RECALL IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA BUT THE DEALER TOLD US THE CAR WAS IN ACCIDENT AND HAS A REBUILT TITLE AND THAT VOIDS THE WARRANTY ON THE REPAIRS AND WE HAVE TO PAY FROM OUR POCKET I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN THAT WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WE DIDND'T KNOW THAT THE CAR HAS A REBUILT TITLE UNTIL THIS DAY HE TOLD US THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FROM OUR POCKET $2,200 FOR THE REPAIRS

I WAS DRIVING IN MY CITY AND WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT NOT TOO FAR FROM MY HOUSE. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN TO TURN, AND AS I WAS MID TURN, MY CAR SORT OF STALLED. IT KEPT LURCHING AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS IT WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND REVVED UP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON RIGHT WHEN IT REVVED UP. BY THE TIME THE LIGHT TURNED RED, I WAS STILL MOVING, BUT VERY SLOWLY AND FELT LIKE IT WAS KIND OF COASTING IN AN ABRUPT WAY. LUCKILY I WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO MY PLACE AND COULD GO SLOWLY. WHEN I WENT TO PARK, I TRIED BACKING UP AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE, IT JUST ROLLED FORWARD. I HAD TO REPARK, BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET MY CAR TO BACK UP. I CAME IN AND TOLD MY HUSBAND, AND HE THINKS IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION.

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE LATE JANUARY OF 2020, I WAS AWARE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL BUT WAS ASSURED THAT THOSE PROBLEMS WERE TAKEN CARE OF. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND AFTER MY FIRST TRIP LONGER THAN 1 HOUR I GOT AN ENGINE LIGHT AND LATER A TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING LIGHT. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AT 55 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR WILL ACT LIKE I WAS FLOORING THE GAS PEDAL AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN I TRIED TO INCREASE THE SPEED. THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD COVER THE ISSUES AT FIRST BUT NOW THEY ARE SAYING IS NOT PART OF THEIR WARRANTY. THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE CAR IS STUCK IN THIRD GEAR. IT WILL ONLY START ON THE SECOND TRY. THE CAR HAS 53K MILES AND BOUGHT AT 50K MILES AT 9K DOLLARS.

POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF CITY STREET - WITH NO WARNING. THE ENTIRE STEERING ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO REPLACE A FAILED SENSOR MODULE!!!! *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON BUSY HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH WHEN IT ABRUPTLY DECREASED IN SPEED. RPMS MOVED BACK AND FORTH UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. IF I WERE IN THE FAST LANE, IT IS LIKELY SOMEONE WOULD HAVE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ME. CONCERNS WITH SHUDDER RELATING TO TRANSMISSION CONTROL AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED REPLACING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR.

MY RADIO IN MY CAR DOES NOT WORK BUT BEFORE THAT IT STARTED POPPING AND CRACKLING REALLY LOUD WITH THE IGNITION ON OR OFF MOVING DOWN THE ROAD OR STOPPED. WHENEVER IT WANTED TO IT DID IT. IT WAS SO LOUD IT WOULD SCARED ME TO THE POINT I WOULD JUMP AND ALMOST GO OFF THE ROAD. BUT NOW IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. I'VE LOOKED INTO IT AND A LOT OF PEOPLE REPORT THIS PROBLEM BUT NOTHINGS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT AND I FEEL SOMEBODY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, IT COULD HAVE CREATED A HAZARDOUS SITUATION FOR ME AND OTHER MOTORISTS.*DT*JB

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY. WILL OFTEN STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT ENGAGE GEARS EVEN WHEN SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. WILL NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. SHIFTS HARD WHEN IT DOES SHIFT. BASICALLY BEEN DOING THIS OFF AND ON SINCE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER FORD SIMPLY RESET THE PCM AND CHARGES FOR THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A MISFIRE AND SPUTTERED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUICK LANE AT SAW GRASS FORD LOCATED AT 14501 WEST SUNRISE BLVD, SUNRISE FL 33323, WHERE THE MECHANIC PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V515000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE AN ADDITIONAL UNKNOWN SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED BUT FAILED TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DAMAGED HOWEVER, THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT REPLACED AS STATED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO RECEIVED A FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING AND A FUEL INDUCTION INJECTION HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

CAR JERKS DURING ACCELERATION, CPU WAS UPDATED AT FORD DEALERSHIP BUT JERKING IS PERSISTENT, TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING SIGNAL APPEARED, CHECK ENGINE SIGNAL APPEARED, CAR REVERSE GEAR FAULTY. ALL HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS IN MOTION IN A BUSY STREET. AFTER CAR SHOWED THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING SIGNAL IT SHUT DOWN AND I WAS CLOSE TO GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER CAR FROM THE REAR END AS IT SHUT DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY. CALLED TOWING SERVICE RIGHT AFTER BECAUSE CAR WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE WHEN ON GEAR. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK OR I?M DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE RADIO WILL ABRUPTLY GO OUT, WITH A LOUD NOISE. THEN IT?S SILENT, AND ABRUPTLY YOU HEAR POPPING AND LOUD STATIC NOISES. IT IS A ROAD HAZARD, BECAUSE THIS LOUD STATIC NOISE COMES AND GOES; AND WHEN IT HAPPENS IT MAKES YOU JUMP. IT TAKE YOU FOCUS OFF THE ROAD, BECAUSE YOU?RE TRYING TO TURN THE RADIO DOWN OR OFF, BUT IT?S ALREADY OFF AND NOTHING WORKING. SO YOU WAIT FOR IT TO STOP. I DID TAKE MY CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT INSPECTED, THEY SAID IT WAS THE WHOLE FRONT COMPONENT (RADIO/ AC) COST ABOUT $650. THERE?S NO WAY OF JUST DISCONNECTING JUST THE RADIO, BECAUSE IT?S ALSO WIRED WITH SOME DASH LIGHTS AND THE AC. THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I REPORTED THIS ISSUE WHEN I HAD MY FOCUS IN 2014....IT WAS DISMISSED. NOW, 4 TIMES IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP AND 4 TIMES IT WASN'T FIXED, 4 TIMES I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL FOR 2 WEEKS EACH TIME, COSTING ME A TOTAL OF $2,755 IN ALL FOR NOTHING TO BE RESOLVED. I TRADED THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS LITERALLY A SAFETY HAZZARD BUT NO ONE WOULD DESIGNATE IT THAT AT THE TIME.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70MPH MY VEHICLE LOSS POWER ENTIRELY AND STALLED. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND INDICATED A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, AND IGNITION ERRORS. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DAY IT ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM AT FAULT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY FORD IN A TSB FOR THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS CHAFFING ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. OWNERS ARE NOT NOTIFIED THROUGH MAIL ON TSB'S AND THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALER SINCE THE TSB WAS ISSUED. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CONDITION DUE TO THE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL THIS PROBLEM CREATES.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE STUTTER MY TRANSMISSION IS HAVING WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP SIGN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2014 AND HIGHER. MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2013 FORD FOCUS.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO EVEN SLIGHTLY INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION SPUTTERS AND SHAKES AND CONTINUES UNTIL I'M NOT IN ANY UPCLINE AT ALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR MANY TIMES TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S NOTHING OR IT'S BECAUSE YOUR VEHICLE IS A FLEX SO THE CAR THINKS IT'S IN MANUAL. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. JUST DRIVE IT AND ITLL BE FINE. WELL 6YEARS HAVE PAST AND IT JUST GETS WORSE EACH TIME. I'VE PARTED THE CAR AND DRIVE IT OCCASIONALLY BECAUSE WHEN IT JERKS AND DOESNT GO INTO GEAR OR ACCELERATION IS NONE EXISTANT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE HITS ME FROM BEHIND ON THE HYW. BUT AGAIN FORD HAS NOT HONORED MY 100000 WARRANTY WHEN MY CATILATIC CONVERTER WENT OUT WHEN I ONLY HAD 80000 MILES ON IT. FOUND OUT A YEAR LATER THAT IT WAS COVERED. FORD IS HORRIBLE ON CORRECTING ISSUES THAT ARE A SAFETY MATTER.AT THIS POINT LIKE A SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT'S THEIR WORD AGAINST MINE. THEY HAVE THE POWER SO EITHER DEAL WITH IT OR GET RID OF YOUR CAR.

MY CAR KEEPS FLASHING THE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS. I CAN'T GET IT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT ONLY FLICKERS ON FOR A SECOND BEFORE TURNING OFF. IT'S THE ABS LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE INFORMATION LIGHT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. IT WILL ALSO RESTART THE RADIO. ONCE I GET TO MY DESTINATION, MY WHOLE CAR WILL TURN OFF AS IF MY BATTERY DIED. I'VE TAKEN MY BATTERY TO BE TESTED AND IT'S FINE. WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR, IT WON'T TURN ON BUT IT WILL MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO RESTART A CONNECTION. WHEN MY CAR FINALLY TURNED ON, IT SAID I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE, I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN I DRIVE IT BUT I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY IT OFF IN ORDER TO GET A NEW CAR. I'LL NEVER GET A CAR MADE BY FORD AGAIN. *TR

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS "STOP SAFELY NOW" AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR NOR CHARGE THE MAIN HV BATTERY. FORD SERVICE AT CERTIFIED FORD DEALER REPROGRAMMED SOME OF THE MODULES BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE HEADING TO THE INTERSTATE 95 . AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD, I THE CAR AROUND AND HEADED BACK TO MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT, MY BOYFRIEND CAME OUTSIDE AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. *TR

I HAVE A NOTIFICATION ON MY CAR THAT SAYS TRANSMISSION FAULT AND MY CAR IS DRIVING LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT HAD TO JUMPSTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CAPITOL CITY FORD LOCATED AT (8623 E WASHINGTON ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46219, (317) 898-0700). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A WIRING HARNESS SHIFTED AND DAMAGED OTHER WIRES WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS AN TAKE OFF TODAY IT DID IT BAD IN TRAFFIC AN WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE AN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.. I TOKE IT TO SEE WHY THE LIGHT CAME ON AN IT WAS THE CODE P080D WITCH IS THE SAME AS MANY OTHER HAVE REPORTED CLUTCH MOTOR TCM I JUST HOPE THAT'S IT AN I STILL HAVE A WARRANTY ON IT..

OK SO FOR ONE, THE SCREEN (I THINK IT'S CALLED THE CLUSTER) IN BETWEEN MY ODOMETER AND MY SPEEDOMETER HAS OFFICIALLY GONE ALL THE WAY OUT. ONE DAY LAST WEEK IT STARTED TO HAVE LINES GOING THROUGH IT AND THEN ALL OF THE IMAGES WENT AWAY BUT I COULD STILL SEE A BACK LIGHT, IT JUST WASN'T TELLING ME ANY INFORMATION. IT STAYED LIKE THAT FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED FLASHING LIKE A STROBE LIGHT. IT DID THAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT WENT ALL THE WAY OUT FOR LIKE A DAY AND THEN IT STARTED FLASHING AGAIN BUT IT'S OUT NOW. WELL NOW THE SCREEN IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIO IS STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING AND I DON'T HAVE TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR IT TO DO IT. SOMETIMES WHEN I CRANK MY CAR IT'S ALREADY DOING IT BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR IT'LL SWITCH TO WHATEVER IT WANTS TO DO NEXT. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE, THAT'S JUST THE BEST I KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?? HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE? I GET MIGRAINES AND I CAN'T BE DRIVING WITH A STROBE LIGHT HAPPENING LIKE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, YA KNOW? LIKE, THAT'S A MIGRAINE TRIGGER. THIS ISN'T COOL.. IN THE PICTURE THAT I SUBMITTED IT'S A RADIO SCREEN IN THE FIRST PHASE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY OTHER SCREEN ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE DATE SELECTED IS THE DATE IN WHICH OTHER SCREEN STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS OF WHATEVER IT DID.

WHILE DRIVING AFTER GET MY FORD FOCUS AFTER HAVING A OIL CHANGE IT STARTED TO STALL OUT VERY HOSTING TO DRIVE AT ANY SPEED. TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON TELLING ME TO SERVICE IT. I PULLED OVER BACK TO PRIORITY FORD DEALERSHIP.THE TECH CAME OUT AND TELLS ME THAT MY FORD FOCUS WAS ON A RECALL FOR MY TRANSMISSION.

TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO CORWIN FORD IN NAMPA IDAHO AFTER TWO WEEKS OF THEM HAVING THE CAR THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS FINE.

THE SECOND I TURN OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP IT STALLS SO I TOOK IT BACK AND LET THEM KNOW ITS STILL STALLING A TECH CAME AND LOOKED AND VERIFIED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I FINALLY RESEARCHED AND CAME ACROSS THAT TSB SO I CALLED AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL ADVISING THEM TO CHECK THE HARNESS. WELL IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE SPLICES NOT BEING DONE CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEN WILSON FORD LOCATED AT (769 CHAMPION DR, CANTON, NC 28716) BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR SHUTTERS WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I TAKE OFF THE WHOLE CAR SHUTTERS. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS CAR MODLE AND TO REPORT IT. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOT A FIX FOR IT.

THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS. THERE WAS A DELAY WITH EXCELERATION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND THE CAR WOULD NOT EXCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT CHANGING GEARS. I HAD TO COAST DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE IT TO SOMEWHERE I COULD PULL OVER. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR AND WOULD NOT DRIVE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE CLUTCH THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WHEN THE OUT SIDE TEMPERATURE DROPS TO ABOUT 32 DEGREES OR LOWER THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS CAN HAPPEN FROM A PARKED SITUATION AS WELL AS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.. IT WILL LOCK UP. HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS.

SAME ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS DOOR LATCH RECALL, IT IS BROKEN AGAIN AND SINCE IT HAS ALREADY "BEEN REPAIRED" THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AGAIN. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR WILL GET STUCK IN A LOCKED POSITION AND WILL NOT CLOSE.

THE FUEL TANKED IS DEFORMED AND THE FUEL GAUGE REFLECTS ONE-QUARTER TO ONE-HALF OF A TANK OF FUEL WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED THE FUEL TANK COULD BE REPLACED IF DEFORMED. MY FUEL TANK IS DEFORMED AND I MENTIONED THAT TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR. HE DIDN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN MY CONCERN. NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS REMAINING IN THE TANK IS A REAL PROBLEM. THE TANK IS DEFORMED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS PER THE RECALL.

MY FORD FOCUS 2013, HAS BEEN FIXED TWO TIMES AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING. I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WEREN'T VERY HELPFUL AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO REACH THEM. THE CAR SHUTTERS UPON ACCELERATING. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS STATED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS HAS BEEN A LAWSUIT BEFORE AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE WARRANTY THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY WHEN FIXING THE FORD SHOULD APPLY THIS TIME AS WELL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN A FORD DEALERSHIP WAITING TO GET FIXED, BUT I DO NEED THE CLEAR THAT WARRANTY WILL COVER IT SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON MY CAR AND NOT BE WORRIED IF IT WILL START.

I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING UNLESS I WAS A BODY BUILDER. I PARKED AND CALLED UBER.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET MY CAR JERKS AND THEN GETS QUIET, WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES TO GREEN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS, I TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND AFTER ABOUT 3 MINS THE CAR FINALLY MOVES BUT WHILE DRIVING ONCE AGAIN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED AND IT DOES NOT WORK, I DECIDE TO TURN AROUND IN A SMALL PARKING LOT AND TAKE IT HOME AND WHILE DOING THAT THE CAR DOESN'T REVERSE, I GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT JERKS AND JUMPS TO THE POINT WHERE I JUST HAD TO PARK IT AND CALL A RIDE. THE WEEK PRIOR A MECHANIC TOLD ME I JUST NEEDED COOLANT AFTER THE CAR JERKED AND STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS GOING 70MPH, AND NOW EVERY TIME I BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP IT DOESN'T MOVE ONCE IT'S TIME TO ACCELERATE, I'VE HAD IT STALL IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHERE CARS WHERE BUMPER TO BUMPER AND I COULD NOT MOVE.

SO I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND THEY INFORM ME OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS SUCH AS A NEW THERMOSTAT AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUES BUT THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AGAIN, UNFORTUNATELY THE CARS VALUE IS NOT WORTH WHAT IT WILL COST TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST FEATURE FAILED WHEN I WAS 100 MILES FROM HOME.IT OCCURRED AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. PRIOR TO THIS IT WAS WORKING OK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONE TIME BEFORE. WHEN IT HAPPENED BEFORE I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND CLEANED THE TERMINAL. I CHARGED THE BATTERY AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC CAR. THERE IS ISSUES ACCELERATING. WHEN STOPPED I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND ITS FINE UNTIL IT SHIFTS, THEN THE CAR STALLS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN CATCHES UP. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT GOES TO SHIFT GEARS UNTIL ABOUT 35 MPH. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT POSSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

MY RADIO HAS VERY HIGH STATIC AND I CANNOT USE MY PHONE SYSTEM. MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY. MY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WHEN I PULL OFF THE ENGINE STALLS. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN ON GOING EVERY SINCE I OWNED THE CAR. IT IS A COMPLETE LEMON.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH IS IMPAIRED. THE DOOR APPEARS TO BE CLOSED BUT DOES NOT LATCH TO SEAL THE DOOR IN PLACE. THIS WAS RECENTLY NOTICED BY A PROFESSIONAL DETAILING SERVICE IN JANUARY 2020. IT APPEARS THIS IS THE SAME RECALL ISSUE FROM THE 2017 RECALL REGARDING LATCH/LINKAGE ISSUES.

FORD HAS SOLD A CAR TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF FAILURES WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHERE IT WILL SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE, CAUSING UNDUE DANGER MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. THIS CAR SHOULD BE FULLY RECALLED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE FAILURE BY THE NHTSA TO DO SO EVEN YEARS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN WITH THE DPS6 TRANSMISSION IS A ABSURD LACK OF SAFETY OVERSIGHT. MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER DUE TO THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THIS IS FAR FROM THE FIRST INSTANCE. THEY COULD HAVE EASILY DIED FROM THIS AND OTHER OCCASIONS. MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS HAPPENING. EVERY DAY YOU DO NOT DO A FULL RECALL, YOU RISK MORE LIVES BEING IN DANGER.

I HAVE OWN A 2013 FORD FOCUS AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT SEAMS THE CAR REVS UP BUT DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT I MIGHT GET REAR-ENDED WHEN I'M SWITCHING LANES ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR ALSO SWITCHES GEARS A LITTLE ROUGH. SOMETHING DEFINITELY FEELS OFF ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION.

MY POWER STEERING SEIZED AND WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILD. WE ARE SO LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT CRASH AND DIE! I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2013 FORD FOCUS! I JUST WANTED A SAFE CAR FOR MY CHILD AND I. EVEN AFTER I FIX IT AND PAY OVER $2000.00 I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AGAIN! HOW CAN FORD BE OK WITH THIS. THE CAR ITSELF SHOULD BE RECALLED!

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL GO ERRATIC FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. WHEN THE WIPERS FINALLY TURN OFF THEY WONT COME BACK. CURRENTLY THE WIPERS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL AFTER THIS LAST INCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STOPS AUTOMATICALLY AND THE CAR DOESN'T TURN ON FOR WHILE,THEN AFTER TWO HOURS IT TURNS ON AND I DRIVE IT FOR ANOTHER FIVE DAYS AND THAT HAPPENS AGAIN ALMOST AN IN CRASH OR I WAS VERY LUCKY FOR A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AND I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO SEND MY CAR HOME AND SINCE THEN IS UNDRIVABLE WHICH IS PARKED IN MY HOUSE

VERY HARD SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS WHEN FIRST STARTING TO DRIVE. AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR A TIME. THERE IS A SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE HARD SHUDDERING MAKES IT SEEM LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL.

2013 FOCUS HATCH WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 69K MILES, CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 100K. GREAT VEHICLE, VERY HAPPY WITH IT FOR THE MOST PART. HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES SINCE PURCHASE. FORD RECALL NUMBER 16C13 FOR THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE BODY CONTROL MODULE TO REQUIRE 2 PRESSES OF THE TRUNK RELEASE TO OPEN THE HATCH ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES HAS BEEN REPORTED AS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2017. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE STILL ONLY REQUIRES ONE PRESS OF THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE HATCH. SOMETHING THAT I HAVE DONE INADVERTENTLY SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE FOG LAMPS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT REPORTEDLY COMPLETED THE RECALL (SIOUX FALLS FORD LINCOLN, SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA), AND FORD. BOTH OF WHOM TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT WITHOUT BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN AND PAYING FOR A SERVICE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT. NOT SURE IF THE BODY CONTROL MODULE LOST THE PROGRAMMING, OR IF THE RECALL WAS NEVER COMPLETED. AT ANY RATE IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE, HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ISSUES WITH THE HATCH COMING OPEN WHILE DRIVING, ONLY UNLATCHING. I HAVE NOT LOOKED ANY FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE THAN THIS, JUST WANTED TO PUT MY EXPERIENCE OUT THERE.

WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON DOWNTOWN CITY STREETS, TRAVELING AT AN APPROX. SPEED OF 25 TO 30 MPH WHEN THE ELECTRIC STEERING FAILED. THIS EVENT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF TO ONE DIRECTION AND STRIKE A CURB WHILE AT THE SAME TIME I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTROL.

AT 9:30PM ON MAY 12TH 2016 I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 THROUGH DOWNTOWN SEATTLE GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL DROPPED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I HAD TO CHANGE ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STEADILY LOSING POWER TO EXIT AT MERCER ST. FROM THERE I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON WESTLAKE AVE WHERE A TOW TRUCK PICKED ME UP. FOLLOWING THAT EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION REPACKED 5 TIMES!!! EACH TIME WHEN THE CLUTCH IS STARTING TO FAIL, IT SHUDDERS, SHAKES AND LOSES POWER. I AM AFRAID OF IT LOSING POWER IN A INTERSECTION AND BEING T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE (THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS). FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS, HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY AND HERE I AND ABOUT 4 MILLION OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE LEFT WITH LEMONS! HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION/CLUTCHES FROM 2011-2016 FIESTA/FOCUSES, ALL I WANT IS A DEPENDABLE CAR THAT WILL LAST MORE THAN 4 YEARS AND 68,000 MILES.

DPS6 CLUTCH WAS REPAIRED/REPLACED AT 85,000 MILES DUE TO SEVERE SHUDDERING AND DANGEROUS DRIVING PERFORMANCE. SEVERE SHUDDERING RETURNED AT 98,000 MILES AND WAS NOT SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE UNTIL AFTER 100,000 MILES - FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND DEALER NOW REFUSES TO REPAIR THE DANGEROUS AND FAULTY DPS6 CLUTCH ASSEMBLY ON MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY, OCCASIONALLY LOSING POWER OR ACCELERATING SUDDENLY. HAS ALSO LED TO ENGINE STALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC. FORD REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR.

EL VEHCULO EMPESO A JOLONEARSE EN CARRETERA Y FUE PERDIENDO LA FUERZA Y A OTRO DA YA NO AGARRO LA REVERSA Y PARA ENFRENTE VELOSIDAD QUE AGARRABA ERA A 5

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING ,ROWS BACKWARDS ON A INCLINE,TRY TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC WILL NOT MOVE FAST ENOUGH VERY DANGERS ,CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID IT WOULD BE COVERED ONCE I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTIC THEN WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME $1600 TO FIX ,DID NOT HAVE IT FIX SETTING AT HOME IN GARAGE

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT. THE MECHANIC STATES THAT IT IS A MALFUNCTION INVOLVING THE PURGE VALVE AND FUEL PUMP. DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION, THE O2 SENSOR AND FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED AND THE PCM NEEDS REPROGRAMMED. THE MECHANIC STATES THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL 18S32 AND 19S22 BUT FORD IS SAYING THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. WHY???

THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN IT STARTS. SEAMS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S VERY TROUBLESOME IN THE SIGNAL LIGHT IN THE HIGHWAY.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP REPEATEDLY EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2012 CAR NOT ACCELERATING WHEN IT SHOULD. IT HESITATES AND SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY WHEN TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I MUST HAVE A NEW CLUTCH SYSTEM PUT IN A TRANSMISSION AT MY EXPENSE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COOL IT WILL SHIFT GOOD BUT AS IT IS DRIVEN MORE, THE WORSE IT GETS AT SHIFTING.

VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. RPM'S ROSE BUT CAR WOULDN'T GO. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WITH CROSS TRAFFIC! THIS COULD GET SOMEONE KILLED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 78,000 MILES AND HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST ONE OTHER TIME AT AROUND 53,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED THEN. HERE WE ARE 25,000 MILES LATER AND IT'S OUT AGAIN!

I OWN A 2013 FORD FOCUS THAT IS EXPERIENCING DOOR LATCH FAILURES. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THEIR IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FORD FOCUS DOOR LATCHES BUT BASED THE VIN FOR MY VEHICLE MY VEHICLE IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED. (SAFETY RECALL 16S30) THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LATCH. THE LATCH OPENED BUT THEN WOULD NO LONGER ENGAGE TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. I TRIED TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY JUST STATE THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED.

WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE MY CAR LEAPED FORWARD AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT ME FROM REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CAR THEN STARTLING STUTTERING FROM THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LOST POWER, AND THE CLUTCH SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RUSS MILNE FORD (24777 HALL RD, MACOMB, MI 48042, (586) 948-7700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THE POWER TRAIN HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,050.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPPED POSITIONS LIKE WAITING TO TURN, THE CAR WILL HESITATE BADLY WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF VERY FAST. THIS OCCURS ON LEVEL AS WELL AS UNLEVEL GROUND. WE HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN 2 YEARS AND CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN DRIVE WHEN TURNING ALL THE TIME. IT ALSO OCCCCURS WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO SPEED UP TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR GET AHEAD OF ONE. WHEN THE CAR IS ON AN ANGLE THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ UP TO 30 MILES ON THE TANK BUT WILL STOP AS THE FUEL SENSOR DOES NOT SHOW THE CAR HAS GAS IN IT. WE HAVE HAD THE FUEL GAUGE CHANGED 2 TIMES IN A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THIS OCCURS WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THIS OCCURS EVERY DAT THAT WE HAVE HAD THE CAR.

PURCHASED CAR NEW AND FROM DAY ONE IT WAS EVIDENT THERE WE'RE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HAD BACK TO THE DEAL SEVERAL TIMES THE SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT DID NOT HELP, MAYBE EVEN MADE IT WORSE? WHEN DRIVING OR PULLING OUT THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND SHUTTER VERY BAD. THIS WAS A CONSTANT ISSUE FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF OF THE SALES LOT.

MY 2013 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS DURING TAKE OFF AND SLIPS GEARS EVERY SO OFTEN, USUALLY WHEN LAUNCHING FROM A FULL STOP OR WHEN DRIVING IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS.

THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS WITH NO FIX IN PLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEBB FORD (219-924-3400, LOCATED AT 9809 INDIANAPOLIS BLVD, HIGHLAND, IN 46322), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK LATER. A WEEK LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS WAITING TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I'VE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - IT WAS STUCK IN THE GARAGE AT THIS TIME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO REVERSE AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF A FEW HOURS LATER. YESTERDAY THE CAR, AGAIN, WOULD NOT REVERSE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS TIME IT WAS STUCK IN A PARKING LOT. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS, SOME OF WHICH LEAD TO THE CAR NOT STARTING AT ALL, THE CAR FINALLY TURNED ON, AND REVERSED AFTER ROUGHLY HALF AN HOUR. THIS MORNING I TOOK THE CAR TO WEBB FORD IN HIGHLAND, IN FOR REPAIRS AS THE TRANSMISSION HAS A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE BACKED UP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND WOULD NOT EVEN LET ME LEAVE MY CAR. THE NEST CLOSEST DEALER IN CALUMET CITY, IL IS NOT TAKING TRANSMISSION WORK AT ALL. NOW, AFTER LEAVING WORK, MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 15MPH WITHOUT JERKING AND CHUGGING AND IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE NO WAY TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE NO ONE WILL TAKE MY CAR.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING ERROR "STEERING ASSIST FAULT". THE CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING AND IS UNDRIVABLE. TURNED CAR ON AND OFF TRYING TO RESET IT BUT IT WILL NOT RESET. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY LOCATED IN A PARKING LOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, SHOOK, AND STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ACADEMY FORD SALES (13401 BALTIMORE AVE, LAUREL, MD 20707, (800) 658-7794) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK CANISTER, AND FUEL VAPOR PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,025.

WHEN DRIVING CAR AND COME TO A STOP, IT SPLITTERS WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN FUEL GETS LOWER THAN HALF OF A TANK, THE CAR LOSES POWER, SPUTTERS AND ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN DRIVING UPHILL OR FROM STOPPED POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. FORD COUNTRY (280 N GIBSON RD, HENDERSON, NV 89014, (888) 360-8509) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FUELED ABOVE HALF A TANK AND THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO ADJUST TO THE UPDATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,142.

COUNTRY FORD STATED THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. I CALLED THEM THE SAME DAY THAT THE ISSUE WAS STILL ON GOING. THEY STATED THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RESET OF THE COMPUTER. I'M VERY CONCERN THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIX BECAUSE THE NEEDED PART WASN'T AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. THE CAR STILL STALLS WHEN IT'S AT HALF A TANK AND COMPLETELY STALLS WHEN IT'S AT A QUARTER TANK. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAYS OR IN A BUSY CITY. I AM CONCERN WITH WITH MY HEALTH AND LIFE IT SUDDENLY SHOTS OFF ON A BUSY ROAD.

CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. WHILE IN DRIVE, WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE AT A RED LIGHT A ERROR CODE FLASHED ON DASH " TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" AND THEN IT SHUT OFF. CAR STALLED 4 MORE TIMES IN A MATTER OF A HOUR, TWICE WHILE IN PARK AND CAR WAS JUST RUNNING. LAST TIME AT A RED LIGHT IN DRIVE . TOOK 30-40 SECONDS TO RESTART CAR, VERY UNSAFE.

MY CAR SHUDDERS WHEN I TRY TO DRIVE AND GET UP TO SPEED OR PULLS SOMETIME I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE CAR FLOOR TO GO WHEN I TRY TO PULL OUT A FRIEND IF MINES RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT HER CAR DOING THIS HER CAR IS A A YEAR OR SO OLDER THAN MINES BUT I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING BUT MY CAR BE DOING THE EXACT THING THAT'S WAS BEING EXPLAINED IN THE LETTER MY CAR HAS BEING DOING THIS SINCE THE LAST RECALL AND I HAD TO PUT IT IN THE SHOP IN AUGUST OF 2018

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT STUDDERS AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY PROBLEM WAS ENTERED.

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT. IT HAS CLUTCH ISSUES THAT LEAVES ME STALLED STUCK IN GEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT HAS LEFT ME STUCK IN MY GARAGE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE FOR DAYS AT A TIME.

THE CARS TRANSMISSION WILL SHUDDER AND HESITATE FROM A STOPPED CONDITION. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED 2 TIMES AND ABOUT TO TAKE IT IN FOR A 3RD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION

MY CAR WAS ON RECALL ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE GAS THEY ONLY FIX THE GAS LEAK BUT THEY SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART FOR THE TRANSMISSION

WITH NO CAUSE OR WARNING, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NOTIFIED ME THAT "HILL ASSIST IS UNAVAILABLE". ALSO, WHEN STATIONARY, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO POWER STEERING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT. THIS PROBLEM STOPS WHEN ROLLING FORWARD OR REVERSE. AFTER MOVING, THE PROBLEM DOES NOT REOCCUR (STOP SIGNS, STOP LIGHTS, ETC). IT DOES, HOWEVER, OCCUR AGAIN WHEN THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF, THEN BACK ON. BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS BEGAN AT THE SAME TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE" MESSAGE APPEARED AND THE STEERING ABILITY SEIZED.

FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED IN APRIL 2019. RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER OF FUEL PUMP RECALL ON MY 2014 FORD FOCUS VIN [XXX]. MY 2013 FORD FOCUS DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL BUT IS HAS THE SAME ENGINE, BUILT AT THE SAME PLANT, AND BUILT WITHIN THE SAME YEAR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE GEAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE MOVED IN REVERSE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND FAIL TO START.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, RANDOM, SUDDEN THUDS BEGAN TO OCCUR ON WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE ROOF OF THE CAR; SOMETIMES A SINGLE THUD, SOMETIMES TWO OR THREE. THIS WAS WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION; AND NOT WITH THE RADIO ON. IT HAPPENED DAILY, UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND, THROUGHOUT THE EVENING ON FRIDAY 10/11 AND WHENEVER DRIVING ON SATURDAY 10/12 AND SUNDAY 10/13 (WITHOUT THE RADIO OR CD PLAYER ON) LOUD, SUDDEN AND PROLONGED SIZZLING AND CRACKLING/POPPING SOUNDS WOULD BREAK OUT IN WHAT SOUNDED LIKE THE DASHBOARD(?) AND DOORS? MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS WITNESS TO ALL OF THIS, AND WE BOTH WERE FRIGHTENED BY IT EACH TIME IT HAPPENED (A TOTAL OF 20+ TIMES?). I CONSIDERED NOT DRIVING THE CAR AT ALL, BUT HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND LIVE IN A SOMEWHAT RURAL AREA. IT OBVIOUSLY IS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE, AND IS A PROGESSION FROM THE THUDS THAT WERE INITIALLY HAPPENING SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. WHAT ON EARTH CAN BE GOING ON THIS CAR? AGAIN, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SOUND SYSTEM, BECAUSE IT ALL HAPPENS WHEN THE RADIO HASN'T EVEN BEEN TURNED ON. I'M AFRAID THAT A WIRING BREAKAGE HAS OCCURRED SOMEWHERE AND A FIRE COULD POTENTIONALLY BREAK OUT IN THE CAB!

ALL DASH LIGHTS SUCH AS TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF STEERING ASSIST TURNS OFF ETC ALL APPEAR ON THE DASH AND THE CAR USUALLY STALLS AND VARIOUS MESSAGES POP UP SUCH AS ENGINE FAULT SERVICE NOW AND TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ON AND OFF PROBLEM AND IT WILL COME AND GO WHICH MEANS MY CAR IS AT RISK AT STALLING AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING AND WENT TO NUMEROUS REPAIR SHOPS AND EVEN WENT TO A FORD DEALER TO FIX A RECALL AND STILL THE PROBLEMS REMAINS THERE MY VEHICLE STOPPED IN A THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD NUMEROUS TIMES LEAVING ME STRANDED I EVEN LOST MY JOB BECAUSE OF MY CAR AND AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH MY GUESS IS THAT IS HAS TO BE EITHER THE WIRING HARNESS OR THE BCM OR POSSIBLY BOTH BECAUSE EVERYTIME THE VEHICLE LOSSES POWER AND TURNS BACK ON I USUALLY HOOK UP A SCAN TOOL AND SEE THE CODES AND THE CODE THAT ALWAYS POPS UP OR IT DECLARED AS PERMANENT IS "LOSS COMMUNICATION WITH TCM/PCM" I FORGOT THE NUMBER THE CODE IS ASSOCIATED WITH BUT THAT WAS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE CODE

THE TRANSMISSION FAIL COMES ON AND SAYS GET IT FIXED AND I JUST GOT THE CAR BACK FOR GETTING THE RECALLS FIXED ON IT NOW I'M HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS DETECTED UNDER THE HOOD.

THE VEHICLE HAD A RECALL DONE 8 MONTHS AGO AND RECENTLY THE SAME PROBLEMS OF THE RECALL SUCH AS THE GAS TANK ISSUE AND THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE STILL A PROBLEM N WENT TO FORD N TOLD WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BUT JUST 2 WEEKS AGO BEFORE I TOOK IT TO FORD ON A FRIDAY NIGHT I WAS DRIVING N MY CAR SHUT OFF AS I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD CARS PASSING ME BY MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND I PUSHED THE CAR TO THE SIDE STRESSED BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY FOR A TOW TRUCK AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG UNTIL SOMEONE SAID TRY PUTTING GAS IN IT AND I TOLD THEM MY TANK WAS HALF AND GAS MONITOR SAID I HAD 140 MILES TO GO BEFORE IT'S EMPTY BUT WHEN THE GAS WAS PUT IN THE CAR IT TURNED ON AND THE GAS MONITOR SHOWED 0 THEN IT WENT UP TO 260 AND THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION WHEN I'M DRIVING THE CAR STARTS TO JERK AND STALLS AND WHEN I COME TO A STOP MY RPM JUST GOES UP AS IF I'M STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATION BUT WHEN I LET GO OF THE BRAKE THE RPM DROPS N THE GOES SOUND LESS AS IF IT'S GOING TO TURN OFF THEN IT JERKS N DRIVES THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE A COUPLE OF TIMES I ALMOST GOT HIT FROM THE BACK AND WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR HAS TURNED OFF OR JERKS AND MAKES WEIRD NOISES AND I ONLY HAVE 61K MILEAGE ON IT SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG

STARTING TO DRIVE CAR HESITATES AND VIBRATES.

I WAS DRIVING ON A NORMAL STREET I HADE THE GREEN LIGHT TO TURN LEFT AND AS I WAS TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL GOT REALLY HARD I ALMOST CRASH TO A POLE...THEN A (POWER STEERING SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON) THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT LIGHT CAME ON I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE POWER STEERING AND IT SEEMS IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM..

MY SON HAD JUST DRIVEN TO ALTOONA, PA FROM WASH DC, PARKED THE CAR, AND WENT INTO HOUSE. CAME OUT OF HOUSE, GOT INTO CAR TO DRIVE TO STATE COLLEGE , PA WHERE HE IS A STUDENT AT PSU. WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR. LUCKILY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE HE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO STUCKEY FORD IN HOLLIDAYSBURG, PA. SHOULDN'T SUCH A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION,ESPECIALLY WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES , QUALIFY AS A RECALL ? COST OF REPAIR WAS $2495.00.

THE CAR, IS NOW , BEGINNING TO NOT START,. WHICH I SUPPOSE THAT DOESN'T MATTER SINCE THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL COMPLETELY OUT, I WISH FORD WOULD FIX IT, OR GO AHEAD AND ALLOW ME TO COLLECT ON THE SETTLEMENT

CAR STALLED ON 99 HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY WARNING LOSING ALL POWER AND UNABLE TO RESTART. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED TANK WAS NOW DEFORMED DUE TO THE VAPOR SYSTEM LOCK OF THE CPV SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S32 TECHNICIANS HAVE SENT PICTURES THAT THEY ARE IN POSSESSION OF AND SAID THEY COULD NOT GIVE US COPIES OF BUT ALLOWED US TO SEE AND SHOWED US THE TECHNICIANS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR TANK TO ALSO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CPV . FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTERS HAVE NOT RETURNED PHONE CALLS AFTER BEING INFORMED OF OUR CONCERNS AND STATE SPECS DUE NOT MET THERE REQUIREMENT SO THEREFOR ARE REFUSING TO PAY FOR TANK TO BE REPLACED . ALTHOUGH THE SPECIALIST STATES DIFFERENT.

THE CAR, STARTED JERKING REALLY HARD. IT WAS NOT SHIFTING WELL, THEN NOT AT ALL, IT SLUNG ME INTO TRAFFIC EVEN WITH MY BRAKES PRESSED. THE CAR BEGAN TO JUST IDLE ALMOST AS IF IN NEUTRAL THEN IT SAID WARNING TRANSMISSION HOT

MY SON(I AM ON CAR LOAN ALSO) RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD FOR THE PURGE VALVE. HE TOOK IT TO HOPKINS FORD IN ELGIN, IL WHERE WE PURCHASED VEHICLE. THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE PURGE VALVE AND DID A FLASH PCM INSTEAD AND 3 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR AN EVAPORATION LEAK-DIRECTLY RELATED TO PURGE VALVE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE OWNER OF DEALERSHIP, FORD MOTOR CO. TONY REINHART REGIONAL MANAGER FOR IL FORD AND NO ONE HAS RESPONDED.

RECALL ON MY CAR HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR. IT HAS BEEN 11 MONTHS

I JUST HAD TO BRING IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN. TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING, SLIPPING, HESITATING FROM A DEAD STOP THEN LUNGES. SOMETIMES WILL HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO PASS ON FREEWAY.

I AM BRINGING IN MY VEHICLE FOR SERVICE AS I AM STILL HAVING CLUTCH PROBLEMS. LACK OF POWER FROM STOP, CAR WON'T SHIFT AFTER 40MPH, REVS OUT AT 3K RPM.

JUST GOT ANOTHER RECALL. TRANSMISSION IS STILL HAVING SAME ISSUES, PARTICULARLY IN HIGH TEMPS. HESITATES, CLUTCH DOESN'T GRAB, STALLS EVEN WHEN FOOT IS ON THE GAS.

IT WAS SEPT. 16TH, ABOUT 8:15PM. AFTER GETTING OFF WORK, I GOT INTO MY CAR AND STARTED IT UP. THERE CAME A SOUND AND WARNING ON THE DASH THAT A DOOR WAS AJAR. I TRIED MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR BUT THAT DIDN'T EFFECT THE WARNINGS. SO, I GOT OUT, OPENED AND THEN SLAM SHUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR, THE WARNINGS HAD STOPPED, SO I BACKED OUT, THEN PULLED FORWARD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ONTO GARDEN GROVE BLVD., A FAIRLY BUSY STREET EVEN AT THIS LATER HOUR. WITH MY BLINKER ON AND THE WAY CLEAR, I ACCELERATED INTO THE STREET FOR MY LEFT TURN. I'D JUST GOTTEN INTO THE TURN WHEN THE PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG WIDE OPEN! BY DUMB LUCK, JUST AS THE TURN WAS FINISHED, THERE WAS AN ENTRANCE ON THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT INTO A LIQUOR STORE PARKING LOT. AFTER TRYING TO SECURELY CLOSE IT HALF A DOZEN TIMES, I TOOK OUT A CHUNK OF THICK ROPE FROM THE TRUNK AND TIED THE DOOR HANDLE TO THE CAR SEAT HEADREST POLE. WOW, PRETTY SCARY. IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN UNBUCKLED AND SITTING THERE, THEY'D WOULD DEFINITELY NOT HAVE REMAINED IN THE CAR.

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN MY CAR EARLIER IN THE DAY ON 9/17/19 WHEN I WAS MAKING SOME OF MY ROUNDS FOR WORK. I MADE A STOP AT A BUSINESS, AND WAS ONLY INSIDE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR, STARTED IT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO MOVE. I BACKED OUT AND WENT TO A STORE ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. CHECKED SOME THINGS, BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG. STARTED MY CAR AND IT WORKED. LATER THE SAME EVENING MY BOYFRIEND AND I DROPPED OFF OUR KIDS TO GO TO TOWN REAL QUICK. WE WERE ONLY GONE FROM THEM FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES WHEN WE WENT TO HEAD BACK TO GET THEM AND THE STEERING WASN'T WORKING AGAIN. THERE WAS NO NOISE, NO SIGN, NO LIGHT, NOTHING. IT JUST QUIT. WE CHECKED THE FUSE AND IT LOOKED FINE. IT DOESN'T THROW OUT ANY KIND OF CODE. IT SHOWS THAT IT HAS POWER. WE DID MAKE IT HOME, BEING VERY CAUTIOUS. IT'S NOT WORKING TODAY, SO THAT MEANS I CAN'T DO MY JOB. HOWEVER, WHEN WE STARTED SEARCHING THE INTERNET WE BOTH SEE ALL KINDS OF COMPLAINTS STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? THERE WERE RECALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER VEHICLES, BUT NOT THE FOCUS. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT FORD NEEDS TO FIX.

I BROUGHT CAR TO FORD STAR BECAUSE I FEEL SHUDDER AND ALSO I RECEIVED LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT THE RECALL OF THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER 3DAYS THEY RELEASE THE CAR AND TELLING ME THAT SHUDDER AND JERKING ARE IN NORMAL LIMIT. AND THE CHARGE ME FOR THE LABOR OF $195.BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT IT HAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY FROM A STOP SIGN OR MAKING A TURN ON TO A STREET. SOMETIMES SHUDDERS WHEN I AM ALREADY MOVING BUT TRYING TO SPEED UP WITH TRAFFIC SUCH AS BEING ON A HIGHWAY. ALSO WHEN IM LOW ON GAS BEFORE IT REACHES E IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. NO GAS LIGHT OR SHUDDERING. I HAD CHAMPION FORD IN ERIE PA LOOK INTO THIS BUT THERE WAS NO CODE OR ANYTHING TO GO BY. IM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FRQUENTLY NOW BUT EVERYONE I TALK TO SAYS ITS HARD TO DETERMINE WITHOUT A CODE, BUT WHAT IF MY CONTROL MODULE IS MESSED UP OR SOMETHING? I HAVE 5 KIDS I TRANSPORT EVERYDAY AND WORRIED THAT THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF SOMETHINGS NOT DONE?

I PURCHASED A 2013 FORD FOCUS SE ON OCTOBER 2014. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED ISSUES WITH CAR SHAKING UPON ACCELERATION. FIGURED IT HAD TO DO WITH THE TORQUE I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER. WASN'T TILL I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING CAR AND IT WAS HESITATING EVERYTIME I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. AFTER FEW MINUTES IT WOULD PICK UP SPEED WITHOUT HESITATING UNTIL I STOPPED AGAIN.( THIS CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC BUT FEELS LIKE A STANDARD.) HAD RECALLS AND REPAIRS DONE IN 2015, A WEEK AFTER THAT HAD TO TAKE CAR BACK AGAIN FOR SAME ISSUES. IT WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. HERE WE ARE SEPTEMBER 16, 2019 AND SAME ISSUES. BUT NOW DEALERSHIP IS SAYING RECALL EXPIRES 7 YRS FROM WHEN CAR WAS MADE. NOT PURCHASED. I WAS JUST A WEEK PAST THE EXPIRATION DATE. NOW I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING FORD COULD NOT GET DONE RIGHT. NOT ONLY THE FIRST TIME, SECOND AND NOW THIRD TIME! THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I PURCHASE A FORD.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND HESITATES UNDER ACCELERATION.

I RECENTLY RECEIVED ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL. BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE AN ALL THEY WOULD DO IS DIAGNOSE, BUT NOT FIX COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. I AM HAVING A CHALLENGING TIME DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY YET THEY TOLD ME IT'S OPERATING AS DESIGNED.

VEHICLE JERKS AND SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION FROM STOPS. VEHICLE ALSO HESITATES AND LACKS POWER AT TIMES. IT ALSO OVERHEARS AND LEAKS COOLANT.

AT THIS POINT I REFUSE TO DRIVE MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY. THE SHUDDERING AND JERKING ONLY GET WORSE WHEN THE CAR WARMS UP.

STILL HAVE LACK OF POWER WITH INTERMITTENT SHUDDERING. HAVE TROUBLE TAKING OFF FROM A STANDSTILL AND ON FREEWAY.

THE CAR IS OVERHEATED AFTER 5 MINUTES OF IGNITION, THE ENGINE STOPPED WHEN THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON

BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND STEERING WHEEL SIEZED UP. WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SAYING STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE. TAKE IT TO DEALER THEY SAY NEED TO REPLACE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY RACK AND PINION AND SOME MODULE. TOTAL 2647.00 WITH 88000 MILES.

POWER STEERING ASSIST SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED ,HARD TO STEERWHEN TURNING,ALSO HARD TO DRIVE STREIGHT

SHUTTERING, RATTLING AND CLUNKING WHEN ENGAGING THE GEARS. VEHICLE WILL JERK WHEN ACCELERATING LIKE IT WILL STALL OUT. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL JUST NOT START.

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND MAKES NOISE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. WHEN ACCELERATING AT AROUND 15MPH, THE VEHICLE BOGS DOWN AND LACKS POWER. ENGINE OIL LEAKS ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHEN ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

MY FOCUS IS STILL JITTERING AND SHUTTERING AT TAKE OFF. IT LACKS POWER AND DOESN'T ACCELERATE LIKE IT SHOULD.

THE VEHICLE IS SHORT SHIFTING AND MISSING GEARS WHEN AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HOT, THERE ARE MORE ISSUES. THERE IS A LOT OF JERKING AND TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN TAKING OFF; FEELS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS UPON ACCELERATION, SPUTTERS INTO GEARS AND DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. IT ALSO SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 20MPH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPENED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE CONTACT'S SON STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT'S SON DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DEFECTIVE CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV). LATER THAT DAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND A FUEL ODOR WAS DETECTED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, WHILE THE CONTACT'S SON WAS DRIVING 68 MPH, IT WAS BELIEVED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE STEERING SEIZED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED HEAD ON INTO A TREE. THE CONTACT'S SON DIED INSTANTLY AND THE PASSENGER WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. ANOTHER MOTORIST OBSERVED THE CRASH AND CALLED 911. THE PASSENGER WAS AIRLIFTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR THEIR UNKNOWN INJURIES. THE CONTACT'S SON WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD ON THE SCENE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

PRIOR TO INCIDENT, VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SHUDDER ON TAKE-OFFS. INCIDENT INVOLVED VEHICLE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF A LARGE METRO AREA WHEN ALL POWER TO WHEELS WAS LOST. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. ENGINE WOULD REV WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED, BUT CAR ACTED AS IF IN NEUTRAL. CAR COASTED TO A STOP. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF NEUTRAL UNTIL AFTER THE CAR SAT FOR OVER AN HOUR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) HAD FAILED AND A NEW TCM WAS INSTALLED AND CAR NOW WORKS MOST OF THE TIME, BUT INTERMITTENT SHUDDER ON TAKE OFF STILL OCCURS, THOUGH LESS FREQUENTLY THAN BEFORE.

WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FEBRUARY 2017 AT 70,000 MILES, I WAS GIVEN A CARFAX STATING THE ONLY ISSUE WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH. LESS THAN A MONTH IN, I SEEMED TO BE LOSING POWER SO I TOOK IT TO TOWN & COUNTRY FORD IN MADISON, TN. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL ISSUE AND I DROVE IN RELATIVE SATISFACTION FOR ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR. THEN I TOOK IT INTO TWO RIVERS FORD (MT. JULIET) FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE SERVICE GUY WAS VERY AMICABLE AND EVEN ARRANGED FOR ME TO HAVE A LOANER CAR WHILE THEY HAD MINE. THE SAME ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT WITH AN ADDITIONAL FIX. I PAID $125 FOR SOME PART NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL WARRANTY BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WERE TO MALFUNCTION AGAIN, IT MAY NOT BE COVERED. THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT IN (BACK TO MT JULIET) THEY LOOKED AT IT, DETERMINED IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE, AND SAID I'D HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THE RECALL WARRANTY WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 100,000 MILES. I COULDN'T AFFORD $2300 QUITE TO FIX IT SO I RETURNED THE LOANER AND CLAIMED MY VEHICLE, BUT NOT WITHOUT MAKING IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT WASN'T SATISFIED WITH HOW THE SITUATION WAS HANDLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED PER THE RECALL DUE TO THE MILEAGE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS 23983015. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IN USE. TRANSMISSION WILL LAG, HARD SHIFT, VEHICLE WILL GET "STUCK" WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WILL VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND SHUDDER GOING AROUND SLOW TURNS OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IN TRAFFIC, THE ACCELERATION LAG AS WELL AS SHE SHUDDERING ARE DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLES BRAKES DO NOT RESPOND AS WELL WHEN SHUDDERING. FORD INSISTS THAT ALL VEHICLE PARTS ARE OPERATING CORRECTLY. IF THAT IS THE CASE, FORD HAS DESIGNED AN INCREDIBLY UNSAFE VEHICLE.

WRAY FORD IN BOSSIER TESTED IT, SAID IT WAS A PCM SOFTWARE AND THAT IT WILL COST ME 1600 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. I GAVE FORD THE RECALL NUMBER. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS OVER 150,000 MILES AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. NOW THIS IS MY SECOND RECALL ON MY CAR, THE FIRST RECALL WAS THE LATCHES, MY DOORS WOULDN'T STAY CLOSE, FORD REPLACE ALL 4 OF MY DOORS, AND BRUCE LEE TOLD ME I HAD ANOTHER RECALL THAT I NEEDED TO GET FIX BUT I HAD TO BRING IT BACK. NOW MY CAR WILL NOT START. AND FORD IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE RECALL

TRANSMISSION MAKES A METAL TYPE NOISE CONSISTENTLY AND SURGES WHEN WARM. THERE IS A RANDOM CLICKING NOISE UNDER HOOD. TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD TAURUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY MAXWELL FORD (5000 S IH 35 FRONTAGE RD, AUSTIN, TX 78745, (512) 443-5000). AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHICH FAILED PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. WHEN THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION STUTTERING WHILE DRIVING. AC IS OUT. MULTIPLE ELECTRIC ISSUES

WHILE TURNING A CORNER MY CAR VIBRATES AND SHAKES AND HEAR AS IF METAL IS HITTING UNDERNEATH. WHEN PUSHING ON GAS TO GO, THE CAR WILL JERK. DOESN'T WANT TO REV LIKE IT NEEDS TO. WILL SHAKE AGGRESSIVELY WHEN BRAKING. HAVE TO LET OFF GAS THEN PUSH BACK DOWN ON IT TO MAKE IT STOP SHAKING. ALSO VIBRATES WHEN IN PARK INTENSELY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SHUDDERED WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE DECELERATED A FEW TIMES.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

JUST PICKED UP YESTERDAY AFTER 4TH TRANSMISSION VISIT. CAR WAS HARD SHIFTING IN LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR WILL HESITATE AND LUNGE. WON'T DRIVE DISTANCE OR ON FREEWAY ONLY GOOD FOR LOCAL SMALL ROUTES.

BOLT SHEARED OFF IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OUT & BE UNABLE TO GO INTO ANY GEAR, GATES FOR THE GEARS SEEMED TO BE GONE AS SHIFTER KNOB COULD MOVE FREELY AROUND. IT DID RE-START ONCE, JUST LONG ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY, THEN IMMEDIATELY STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. GOT THE BOLT REPLACED WITH A FORD BOLT, IT SHEARED OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING DOWNTOWN WITHIN 4 DAYS, HAD IT REPLACED AND BOLTED THROUGH A 2ND TIME, AND IT SHEARED OFF YET AGAIN WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, 2 OF THE THREE TIMES THIS HAPPENED CAR WAS ABOVE 30MPH, ONE TIME I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15MPH. CAR IS STILL NOT FUNCTIONAL & FORD HAS STATED THUS FAR, THEIR SUGGESTION IS REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX, AS EVERYONE ELSE WHO I KNOW/HAVE LOOKED UP THAT'S HAD THIS DONE ONLY GETS THE VEHICLE WORKING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN THE VEHICLE STOPS WORKING AGAIN WHEN THE BOLT SHEARS OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE 2012-2016 FORD FOCUS, THOUGH I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST MANUAL OR BOTH MANUAL & AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS.

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP THE CAR SHUTTERS/JERKS. FEELS LIKE STRONG TUMBLE STRIPS. ALSO ALMOST LIKE WHEELS ARE LOCKING AND TRYING TO GRIP. I HAVE BEEN SCARED AT I INTERSECTIONS AS WITH HESITATION THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE MUCH POWER. ONCE IT SHIFTS (I HAVE AUTOMATIC) IT'S FINE. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME EITHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER OUT OF PARK, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT ENGAGE AND FAILED TO FUNCTION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HUNTINGTON BEACH FORD (18255 BEACH BLVD, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92648, 714-842-6611) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHOUT WARNING. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 20 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPMS INCREASED. THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND FAILED TO MOVE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE, THE ACTUATORS, BOTH CLUTCHES, THE ENGAGEMENT BEARING, AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A WARRANTY EXTENSION.

DAILY DRIVER AFTER MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION REPAIRS STILL SHUDDERING EVERY TIME, JERKY TRANSMISSION HESITATES WITH LACK OF POWER.

VEHICLE HESITATES, SHAKES, AND SHUDDERS WHILE MOVING FORWARD AND STOPPING. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. STALLED COMPLETELY IN AN INTERSECTION.

CAR STILL SHUDDERING INTERMITTENTLY, IN ALL SCENARIOS.

HESITATION ON ACCELERATION AND GRINDING SOUND; TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACK; CLUTCH HAS EXCESSIVE SHUDDERING AT LOW SPEED. VEHICLE WILL NOT START

2013 FORD FOCUS JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING, WAS TOLD RECALL WAS FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY VIA KINDLE FORD. ALSO THE TRUNK NO LONGER OPENS, BUT BEEPS WHEN CAR IS ON SAYING THE TRUNK IS OPEN. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A RECALL IN 2017 THAT WAS FIXED BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BUT NOW IT'S UP TO US TO PAY FOR IT.

TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING; LIGHT COMES ON WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE CAR SHIFTS HARSHLY, MAKES GURGLING NOISES, HESITATES AND JERKS. ROARING AND CLUNKING COMING FROM ENGINE WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN VEHICLE IS RUNNING.

MY STERLING GET STUCK AND MY TRANSMISSION MAKING NOISE AND MY CAR DONT GO INTO REVERSE

CAR HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE WE BOUGHT IS NEW. WE TOOK THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR HESITATION, SLOW TO CATCH GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING AND STUTTERING. REPLACED SENSOR AND TOLD US TO PUSH THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND LET IT GO THROUGH THE GEARS TO REST THE SYSTEM (DO AS NEEDED). WE FIND OUR SELVES AGAIN NEEDING TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION PARTS. NOW THEY TELL US IF IT IS NOT FIXED SOON THE CAR COULD SLIP INTO NEUTRAL ON THE HIGHWAY OR WE COULD LOOSE REVERSE. NOT SURE WHY WE ARE NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I FEEL THAT A DEALER TELLING YOU THE CAR CAN GO INTO NEUTRAL ON THE HIGHWAY IS TELLING ME THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE RPMS INCREASED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SHORTLY AFTER. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND STUTTERING. CAR SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN DRIVING. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN MOTION PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ONLY TO HAVE CAR SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND NOT MOVE ANYMORE. CAR HAS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR ON HIGHWAY MANY TIMES WHILE IN MOTION

ALL RECALLS WERE CORRECTED. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS A LIGHT, WHEN DECODED IT SAYS IT IS THE VACCUM SYSTEM AND EPA REGULATIONS. WHEN HAS IS PUT IN THE CAR, IT STALLS AND STRUGGLES TO START. TO START IT, GAS PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED FIRST. IF GAS PEDAL IS NOT PUSHED, CALL STALLS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW LOW GAS IS WHEN GAS IS PUT IN THE CAR, IT STALLS.

RECALL 18V735 WAS ISSUED ALMOST A YEAR AGO. HOWEVER, FORD SEEMS UNINTERESTED IN CORRECTING THE ISSUE. SAFECAR.GOV REPORTS: "RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." I'M STILL WAITING AND WAITING ON A FIX., DRIVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME.

CAR WOULD NOT START WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR GO IN REVERSE HAD IN FORD DEALERSHIP 16 TIMES STILL HAD ISSUES ALSO CAR RUSTED IN LEAST THEN A YEAR HAD IT IN DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION AND RUSTING . TRANSMISSION SITTING OR MOVING CITY OR HIGHWAY OR TURNING DEALERSHIP WAS SUBURBAN FORD ON 59 ROAD IN WATERFORD , MICHIGAN

THIS CAR REPEATEDLY THRUSTS FORWARD AT LOWER GEARS WHILST IN TRAFFIC AND WHILE IN MOTION. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE WITHIN A 6-MONTH TIME-FRAME FOR THE FAULTY DPS6 TRANSMISSION. THE CAPLESS GAS TANK IS ALSO PRESENTING A CONSTANT ISSUE, INVOLVING A LEAK OF SOME SORT THAT CONTINUES TO REOCCUR. I HAVE BEEN IN NUMEROUS SITUATIONS THAT COULD HAVE PROVEN TO BE FATAL AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSMISSION RESPONDING TOO LATE: AS WELL AS THRUSTING AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN COMING OUT OF A STOP OR TRAFFIC BACK-UP. THIS ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION, OR WHEN MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO GO INTO MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOWEN SCARFF FORD-LINCOLN (LOCATED AT 1157 CENTRAL AVE N, KENT, WA 98032, (800) 577-1158), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

TRANSMISSION STOP WORKING IN MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION DURING RUSH HOUR. I WAS TURNING LEFT, CAR WAS STATIONARY WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO PASS. THANKFUL I THINK IT QUIT IN NEUTRAL ALTHOUGH DASHBOARD WAS BLACK & GEAR SHIFT WOULD NOT LOCK INTO ANY GEAR; COULD BE PUSHED INTO CORNER BUSINESS PARKING LOT. IT WAS FIXED BUT NEVER COMPLETELY BETTER NOR DID I FEEL COMPLETELY SAFE. I HAD 2 CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS, WHICH WERE ALSO FIXED & PAID BY THEM. FORD DEALER REPLACE SOME RECALL ON SIDE DOORS, BUT NEVER FIXED THE RECALL ON FUEL TANK, NEVER INFORMED THAT THEY EVER GOT PART IN AS LETTER STATED.

THIS IS A CONSUMER PROTECTION ISSUE, BUT MOREOVER THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE. I NEED HELP. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL, GO TO COLLEGE, AND START HER CAREER. SO I BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED EVERY 5K BY A FORD DEALER AND EVERY REPAIR SUGGESTED HAS BEEN COMPLETED. WITHIN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS, IT WAS OBVIOUS THE CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, AS EXHIBITED BY SHUDDERING AND FAILED ACCELERATION. IT ALSO HESITATES TO THE POINT THAT WE COULD GET HIT PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT. THE DEALER OFFERED MANY EXCUSES OVER THE NEXT YEAR BUT I FINALLY RECEIVED THE REMEDY... "A" NEW CLUTCH. FORD THEN CALLED ME DIRECTLY TO GIVE ME A DEAL THAT WOULD HELP ME GET INTO ANOTHER CAR. THIS WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A SALES PITCH TO BUY A FUSION, WHICH I COULDN'T AFFORD. UNDER DELAWARE LAW, I HAD A CASE FOR A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT. BUT I TRUSTED FORD. SINCE THEN, I HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO THE TRANSMISSION, MOST OF WHICH PROVIDED FOR BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY, OTHER TIMES PAID IN PART BY ME. FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR ALL OWNERS, BUT NOT FOR ME. I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THE SAME EXTENSION ON TOP OF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. ON 7/19/19, I NOTIFIED DEALER THAT THE CAR NEEDED SERVICE & I WAS STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I REFERENCED THE TSB ADVISING DEALERS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX ANY FOCUS WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (REPORTED 7/12-19,2019). MY DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND I NEED CLUTCHES. IT WILL COST ME $1800 WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. I DRIVE A 2001 VEHICLE SO MY DAUGHTER CAN GO TO COLLEGE 14 HOURS AWAY. SHE IS LEAVING IN 2 WEEKS. WHY WOULD FORD NOT HONOR THAT GUIDANCE FOR ME? WHY IS THERE NO OTHER REMEDY, SUCH AS A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION? BECAUSE THEY WANT TO SELL REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR AT FULL COST, PASSING THE COST OF SAFETY ONTO THE CONSUMER & THE VICTIMS OF CRASHES THE PROBLEM WILL ULTIMATELY CAUSE.

VEHICLE JERKS/STUTTERS THROUGH 1ST AND SECOND GEAR WHEN ACCELERATING. TAKEN VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE FORD DEALERS AT LEAST SIX TIMES.

I WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP FOR THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 15 MPH. HOWEVER, THE RPM'S WENT UP TO 4-5. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED WHEN TRY TO ACCELERATE AFTER EACH STOP SIGN AND LIGHT ON CITY STREETS..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE BRAKING. ALSO, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND SHOOK WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED. ALSO, WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY PICKED UP SPEED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO PHIL LONG FORD OF DENVER (7887 W TUFTS AVE, DENVER, CO 80123, (303) 557-5913) WHERE THEY INITIALLY REPLACED THE CLUTCH; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

SHUDDERING CLUTCH WHILE ACCELERATING IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS. ROYAL OAK FORD HAS SERVICED THE CAR FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE AND THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE ISSUE RETURNS. THE LAST SERVICE APPOINTMENT COST US $116 FOR ROYAL OAK FORD TO TELL US ITS THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY WEREN'T GOING TO COVER IT. IT WOULD COST US $1700.00 TO FIX WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY RESOLVE THE ISSUE. WE CONTACTED FORD HEADQUARTERS AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS 'TO BAD YOUR CAR WAS BUILT AFTER 6-05-13 SO WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR'. OUR CAR WAS BUILT ON 6-19-13 WITH THE SAME FAULTY TRANSMISSION AS THE CARS BUILT RE 6-5-13. AFTER READING THE FREE PRESS ARTICLE AND CONTACTING ROYAL OAK FORD AGAIN REGARDING THE ISSUE THEY ARE GOING TO 'LOOK' AT THE CAR AGAIN ON 8-6-19. ROYAL OAK FORD COULDN'T SAY IF IT WOULD BE COVERED BUT I WILL BE LETTING THEM KNOW I HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT. I CAN PROVIDE REPAIR DOCUMENTS AND THE LETTER FROM FORD HEADQUARTERS IF YOU NEED THEM. SERVICE DATES SO FAR ARE 4/15/19, 6/17/17, 10/12/15, 6/01/15.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T LATCH AND EVEN CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING

I WAS BACKING UP AT A GAS STATION AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JUST QUIT STEERING. I WAS MOVING VERY SLOWLY SO WAS ABLE TO STOP WITH MY BRAKES, BUT IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CALL

MY 2013 FORD FOCUS HAS A SHUDDERING AND OTHER KNOWN SHIFTING PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DPS6 CLUTCH ISSUES. THE DETROIT FREE PRESS HAS OUTLINED THESE KNOWN ISSUES WITH FORD AND I AM EXPERIENCING THEM AS WELL. THESE TRANSMISSION ISSUE OCCUR WHEN I ACCELERATE AND MAY ALSO HAPPEN WHEN I AM STATIONARY. DUE TO THESE SAFETY ISSUES I AM NOT WILLING TO TRAVEL WITH MY KIDS OR WIFE IN THE CAR. I HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR AS A DAILY DRIVER BUT THERE IS NO WAY I AM PLACING MY FAMILY IN DANGER BY DRIVING THEM IN THE CAR.
