2015 Ford Focus Bev 5 HB FWD

I was driving home from work when I got a "steering fault" notification, followed by very limited control over my vehicle's steering system. I was going between 55-65 miles, as I was on an expressway, and came very close to colliding with other vehicles on multiple occasions. I was able to make it home and then when I went to drive it to the shop for repairs, I received the "steering loss" notification and I could no longer move my vehicle. There are quite a few noted complaints about Ford's power steering assist failing with the Focus and many other models.

Vehicle looses all power while driving on freeway. Gas guage inaccurate, after filling gas and driving 150 miles it is out of gas without warning and will loose power under any operating condition. This has happened numerous times.

I started to notice a rubbing sound when I would turn the steering wheel. I also noticed when I turned the wheel to the right, there was a slight hesitating resistance. A week later, I was going down the highway about 70 mph, when a warning message popped up “power steering fault”. At that moment, the steering completely lost power and it was difficult to steer. Going at that speed on a busy highway was very dangerous. Without any power steering, in heavy traffic, I had to manually steer my way from the speed lane to the right outer lane to take the exit. I had to cancel mission, turn around and go back home, hoping to get back safely. I was put at risk and so were other folks on the road, that day. I haven't taken my car for repair yet.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. Four years ago, the contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, excessive force was needed to steer his vehicle without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the rack and pinion were replaced. Recently, the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal creaking noise would emit from the power steering without warning. The vehicle was towed to Woody Sander Ford (235 W Mitchell Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45232) and he was informed that the rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed him that there were no recalls on the vehicle; the contact was then referred to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

Check engine light went on 2 minutes later a notification came on dash saying transmission hot safety pull over for 5 mins. Sat there for an hour scared to drive it cause I didn't want to make worse. When I went to drive home it struggles shifting into 1st and not even 3 mins after it shakes into 2nd gear it notifies me that transmission is hot to pull over. I will not drive it afraid it could catch fire and won't shift Car in a shopping plaza waiting to tow to house. Called 2 shops in Canton Ohio and they both said not a shop in town would touch the dual clutch transmission to take it to ford.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, the power steering assist failed, and the steering wheel locked up. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with electric power steering module failure. The electric power steering module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,000.

My 2015 ford focus has continually stopped in traffic causing a safety risk to other drivers and myself. I've taken it in for recalls and repairs but the problem still exists. The front rail hp switch was replaced and the hp fuel pump was replaced too. I'm afraid for people and my life. I have googled the problem and I see thousands of people have the same problem and can't get it fixed without dumping thousands of dollars into it. This has gone too far. I need help. Please. I'm old and not rich.

CLUTCH ASSEMBLY part of Ford recall. This vehicle had CLUTCH ASSEMBLY recall repair in 2017, 2018, 2019. I purchhased in Jan 2019 & NO info regarding ongoing SAFETY issue of this CLUTH ASSEMBLY failure was ever disclosed to me by dealership, King's Ford Cincinnati, Ohio! I now am told it needs the 4TH repacement of CLUTCH ASSEMBLY @ the cost to me of over $1800.00!. This is a total failure on Ford Company & the dealership that sold me this car without disclosure! I am on a fixed income, senior citizen with an active life to live and should not have to endure the cost or more importantly the SAFETY ISSUE on this vehicle.

We have brought the vehicle in twice to the dealership, once at 30k miles and another at 64k miles for a clutch replacement in the automatic transmission due to shuddering. It is now at 88k miles and the clutch is shuddering again. Ford reuses to fix the problem even though this is the third instance of this issue occuring. This shuddering makes merging unsafe as the vehicle hesitates and the car jerks back and forth. It extreme cases, it causes motion sickness to the passengers. Shuddering takes place up to third gear which does not help the driver concentrate and negotiate traffic if the car is shaking or jerking back and forth. There is a constant fear that the vehicle will just fail in the middle of traffic and we will be stranded. No illuminated lamps on the dash board to indicate a potential code. As stated before this vehicle has been brought to Ford twice already and the part they replaced keeps failing at roughly every 30k miles. We have tried to work with Ford to have them fix the problem but instead of replacing the faulty part they now want to charge us $2500 dollars. Why does the transmission seem to fail at every 30k miles? The dealership does not return our calls: we have called roughly 10 times and left messages. When calling Ford directly they state we have to bring it to the dealership, the same dealership which does not return our calls. Having a component in the transmission that makes it unsafe to drive is unacceptable. What makes it even more unacceptable is the fact that Ford has replaced this part 2 times already and it is failing again just 30k miles later, but now it somehow is not covered under the part warranty.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the engine would stall while idling causing the driver to restart the engine while in traffic. The vehicle was then taken to the local dealer who performed a reprogramming of the powertrain control module under NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V735000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). Approximately one week later the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer who diagnosed that the canister purge valve was faulty and needed to be replaced. The contact was told that the repair cost was not covered under the recall although the failure and the failure part was listed in the recall that was previously serviced the week before. The manufacturer was then contacted regarding the failure but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 92,800.

I financed this car with Wii Auto in Arizona , I have had work done multiple times trying to fix the problem and nothing Wii auto mechanic or Ford dealership can figure out the problem. Every time I get my car out the shop and spending all this money “to fix the problem” my car does the same thing. My car will shut off while I’m driving because it thinks it’s over heating. I’ve had my battery replaced, fuel pumps/modules replaced, coolant tank replaced, everything they can thing of. I haven’t drove my car in months and I’m still making payments because when I try and talk to the dealership they basically say oh well, the car in my eyes was sold to me as a lemon my car has been in the shop more times than I can think. I have all the paperwork and I feel so helpless because every time I try and talk to Wii Auto they just brush me off like it’s not a major problem. I almost lost my life in this car because it shut off while I was driving in the freeway. I’ve even gotten loaner cars from this dealership when they were “working on my car” and they’ve done the same things like shut off on me or even almost cost me my life because the back tires were literally coming off the car. I’m in need of help. I’m tired of making payments on a car I haven’t even got to drive. I had to literally go and financed a whole Different car from a different dealership because Wii Auto won’t help.

I have read multiple reports on ford focus from 2012 and newer having the same issue as me. I was driving one day and the car started to rev, shake and drastically slowed down then the check engine light came on as I was almost rear ended. I took an obd reader and got code P07A5 came back to transmission friction element B stuck on. I Have found I’m not the only one with this issue I feel ford should be responsible to fix this problem before someone gets hurt or killed from the car just at random not wanting to go and shake violently. My car only has 89,000 miles for a 2015 it shouldn’t be having this kind of problem already.

Loss of power to transmission, extended warranty not honored on repair

A message keeps coming up on my car saying that the Transmission is over heating and my car is will stall out and stop driving

Transmission stopped working after overheating of engine. Clutch stopped working as well.

The door latch on my driver side rear door just stopped working and it won’t shut at all.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated that she had discovered that her vehicle had been placed under NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V735000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact took the vehicle to a dealer; however, upon return of the vehicle, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving home at 35 MPH. The contact stated that the check engine warning light had illuminated the instrument panel and that the vehicle eventually restarted after multiple attempts. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was made to have the vehicle serviced. The failure persisted and the contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer. Once the vehicle was back in the possession of the dealer, they informed her that due to the size of the fuel tank, they could not repair the vehicle. The contact was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 66,844.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated while reversing out of her driveway, the “Contact Dealership” appeared on the rearview camera of the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that they could not assist as the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rearview camera module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.

The steering assist on on our 2015 Ford Focus failed at 35,000 miles as I was backing out of the driveway. The steering fault was indicated on the dashboard and the car became very difficult to steer. Had I been driving on the street or expressway this very well could have resulted in a serious or even fatal accident. I checked with the dealer to see if a Ford safety recall had been issued. There was no safety recall on this year Focus. Sure seems like Ford should issue a safety recall regarding this issue since there is one for the 2014 Ford Focus and other Ford cars. It is the same steering assist unit. The car was undrivable, of course, and the local authorized Ford dealer charged me $2,470 to replace the steering gear. It was in the shop for more than a week. My wife and I are retired on a fixed income and an unexpected $2,470 expense is devastating to us. We bought this car hoping to keep it forever and save money along the way. After dealing with the defective transmission, sync that doesn't, radio and brake repairs we see now this was a big mistake. My grandfather built Model Ts in Detroit and both of my parents were Ford employees in Dearborn their entire adult life. We have always been a Ford family. I will never buy another Ford.

While driving to work, my transmission started to slip. On the freeway, if I pressed the gas pedal, my car would NOT go faster. Instead, my engine would rev to almost redline and my car would continue to coast, but loose momentum. Once the transmission downshifted to a lower gear, then the transmission would begin to work. Once I got into the City, I almost rear ended someone when the transmission surged. I was pushing the gas through an intersection, and suddenly my car lurched forward, the tires squealed, etc. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid slamming into the car in front of me.

My car shut off randomly in the middle of lane and on the highway too. My car show "system fault". Didn't start until I put a new battery. The next day it happened again it show again "system fault". So I change a wire sensor that connects to the battery. It work then while you are driving it stop or when you are parked too. I really don't want to drive I'm afraid I get into a accident while on the road.

The vehicle is slow to move when put into gear, (or from a stopped position on the road), and then suddenly lurches forward. This has been reported to several FORD car care centers but they do nothing about it and expect the driver to "adapt" to the way the car handles. This can cause an accident when making a turn from a stop because there is no acceptable predictability of it happening.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. The contact stated while accelerating from a traffic light, the clutch failed to operate as designed. The contact was unaware if any warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated she heard an abnormal noise. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the clutch to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but continued to experience failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V169000 (Power Train) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

RPM jumps when pedal is not pushed. Car has issues going into reverse. TCM issues.

The engine on the car stalled shortly after the vehicle purchase from a local dealer (within less than two weeks), The dealer claimed that he never had a such issue, I had to get the car towed to a local Ford dealership then they found out the issue was the purge valve sticking causing negative pressure in the gas tank, so they ended up replacing the purge valve and updated the PCM which should have been addressed by the Safety Recall 18S32 & Safety Recall 19S22. What makes me confused is that when I did VIN lookup , my car was not affected, however the issue I had seems to be the exact match of those two recalls I mentioned. I nearly paid $800 after tax and this seems quite upsetting after I found out Ford had to recall nearly 1.5M cars for the same issues which excluded my vehicle. Is there anyway appeal this issue? I highly believe that Ford is responsible for those two issues I had to pay for. I attached the dealer invoice that explained what they did to fix the car.

I hit a deer, lost control of my vehicle and rolled it twice. None of my air bags deployed and my 911 assist never dialed 911.

Faulty cannister purge valve causing rough idle, stalling. Code P1450. Dealership has "fulfilled" recall requirement by re-flashing the ECU, without our knowledge or permission. Now that part is actually failing, they will not fix under the recall. This is a KNOWN problem and they try to "fix" is for free while its still working so they can make money off it later.

Car shifts bad then makes noise and light comes on for engine so park car shut it off wait a few mins and crank again but it won't go still

Code error P07A3 Transmission FORK A, car is jerking and gears 3 and 4 are getting stuck!

on multiple occasions, the transmission will shudder. this shudder occurs between 1st and 2nd and/or 2nd and 3rd gears. a few times, while driving in the snow, after some tire spinning or sliding, the transmission either slipped from a high gear or froze while driving on the highway at highway speeds. i have been told by Ford and the dealer that the clutch system has already been replaced under the recall and i would now need to pay for repair. along with the clutch recall, there was also a recall on the software component, and i don't believe that has been replaced. there are no warning lamps or messages with this malfunction

Upon entering Interstate highway 66, my car started jerking and the RPM gage was fluctuating and loosing power. A tractor trailer swerved and blew the horn. My car shut off on me in the right lane. I was able to restart and drive toward the shoulder and a warning light states “Transmission Overheating Stop Safely”. I took it to my certified mechanic and it read code P0460. When he lift the car, the gas tank is sunk in. Back in summer 2019 there was a recall on the “purge valve” and we notified them in 2020 that the car stared jerking and acting like it wanted to shut off. Again the code #P0460 same part and they said the warranty on the valve expired they can not reopen the recall. Now my gas tank is caved in and the car is stalling out on the highway getting worse. Ford Motor company keeps brushing us off and not concerned about the safety of their vehicle.

weld came loose from frame.

The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with nothing needing to be replaced. The dealer updated the engine module to keep up with the rpm's however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,000.

While driving in traffic, car started lurching, speed slowing down check engine light came on doing about 20 miles, barely made it to my home. Went from about 30 miles speed to barely 20. No warning, just started lurching and shuddering. Was on recall for clutch work was done on Sept 19, 2020.

There have been several instances, while driving highway speed limits and when braking, the car accelerates for a few seconds before the vehicle brakes and slows down. This can be very dangerous especially if traffic stops unexpectedly. I have a couple close calls. There weren't any warning lamps given and I have not taken it in to dealership to examine. I have not inquired with dealership mechanic if this was an occurrence they have encountered.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY STUTTERING AND OVERHEATING AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. FORD HAS AN EXTENDED /TSB FOR THE TRANSMISSION REGARDING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT FALL WITHIN THE MILEAGE AND YEAR. REASON IS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT LAST YEAR WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVETRAIN AND THEY HAVE CANCELLED ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CAR.

DRIVING ENGINE WILL STALL AND ENGINE WON'T START IF YOU GET GAS. PURGE VALVE IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND THERE ISN'T A RECALL CURRENTLY ON THIS CAR BUT ON OTHERS 2012-2018 FOCUSES.

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX]. I AM EMAILING YOU BECAUSE I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM/CONCERN. MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION. SO IN APRIL OF 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AT CARMEN FORD IN NEWCASTLE, DE WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM. WHEN I TOOK IT THERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE RECALL HAD CAME ON AND IT WAS JERKING. THEY CLAIM THEY FIXED IT. WELL IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE SAME CODE AND WAS JERKING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO CARMEN FORD. THEY HAD MY CAR THREE WEEKS AND THEY SAID ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS RESET TWO THINGS THAT WEREN'T MATCHING UP. THE SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE IT WAS STILL JERKING. THEY HAD MY CAR TWO IN A HALF MORE WEEKS THAN CALLED ME AND SAID THAT 4 TECHS DROVE MY CAR AND THEY HAD NO PROBLEM AND IT WASN'T JERKING. SO I WENT UP THERE AGAIN ON JANUARY 13,2020 AND DID A RIDE TEST WITH BILL WHO AT THIS TIME HAD NOTICED THE JERKING MY CAR WAS DOING THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. WE TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO CARMEN FORD WHERE HE SAID HE WILL LET THE TECHS NO IT'S JERKING NOW. TWO DAYS LATER HE CALLED ME AND SAID THE TECH DID A SHUTTER TEST AND IT'S NORMAL. HE SAID THAT SOMETIMES FORD CARS DO THE JERKING AND THAT IT IS NORMAL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IT HAS ONLY DONE IT THESE TWO TIMES THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THIS RECALL THING. HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO AND MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I PICKED UP MY CAR ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15,2020. WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT WAS MAKING A LOUDER NOISE THAN HAD BEEN, STILL JERKING VERY BAD AND NOW WILL NOT REVERSE. I CALLED THE SERVICE SHOP AT CARMEN FORD SATURDAY MORNING JANUARY 16,2020@ 10:30AM AND THEY BASICALLY BLEW ME OFF. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN THAN I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH IN THAT CAR AND I DON'T FEEL IT IS SAFE AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX ANYTHING BUT KEEP TELLING ME IT'S FINE.

MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO COMPLETE RECALL WORK (RECALL 18S32) ON MY 2015 FORD FOCUS SE. I HAVE THE PAPER THEY SENT ME DETAILING THE PROBLEMS, AND I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, HOWEVER FORD SAYS THAT SINCE THEY "LOOKED AT" THE RECALLED PART ABOUT 6-8 WEEKS AGO, THEY CAN NO LONGER COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK AND THAT I WOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE.

RECEIVED ERROR MESSAGE AND THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. CAN'T GET IT UNLOCKED HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID STEERING SYSTEM FAILED AND IT'S NOT ON RECALL OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WANT $2000 TO FIX IT.

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2015 FORD FOCUS HOME FROM COLLEGE AND HER POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. THE WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND ERROR CAME ON THAT SAID 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND SHE WAS ON 95 GOING 70.

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED, AND STOPPED, AND WOULD NOT START IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING THE LAST INCIDENT WHERE POLICE HAD TO ASSIST AT A RED LIGHT. SO TRAUMATIC, NOT DRIVEN SINCE AND CONTINUE TO PAY NOTES AND INSURANCE. HAVE HAD VECHILE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

DRIVER STATEMENT = ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 03:00(AM) I WAS DRIVING THE GOV TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON 72ND AVENUE PAST THE INTERSECTION OF PIERCE STREET. I NOTICED THE CABIN OF THE CAR STARTING TO FILL WITH SMOKE, THEN I NOTICED A SMALL FLAME UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. SO THEN I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. WHEN THE ARVADA POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, THEY HAD A SMALL FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHICH THEY TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE ARVADA FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NOT ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE OTHER THAN THE GOV.*DT *JS

WAS DRIVING ~75 MPH, GOT OFF HIGHWAY TO GET GAS (NO SIGNS OF ANY STEERING PROBLEMS). TURNED CAR BACK ON WARNING CAME ON, TURNED CAR BACK OFF AND ON AGAIN, WARNING STILL THERE.

HAVING PROBLEM WITH STEERING HARD TO STEER FEELS JERKY SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THE QUOTE THEY MADE DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I STILL AM PAYING ON THIS CAR ALSO PREVIOUSLY HAD WIRES CHEWED BY RODENT BECAUSE THE WIRES ARE SOY BASED MATERIAL AND CLUTCH PROBLEMS THAT WERE FIXED AFTER QUITE AWHILE EXPENSIVE AND VERY INCONVIENENT

THE CPV IS STUCK OPEN . DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP AND GAS TANK. YEARS MODELS FROM 2012 -2018 WITH SAME PROBLEM ARE ON THE RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT FOR SOME REASON. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO SHACK AND STALL OUT.

POWER STEERING FAILED ON 2015 FORD FOCUS. SAFETY ISSUE LOOSING STEERING CAPABILITIES DRIVING FROM ROAD INTO DRIVEWAY. STEERING ASSIST FAULTY MESSAGE APPEARED ON DASH. CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SAID NO RECALL ON DEFECTIVE STEERING. TOOK TO FORD. DEALER AND QUOTED ME $2573 TO REPAIR. LUCKILY MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS NOT TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY ON THIS DEFECTIVE STEERING ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED.

WHILE DRIVING HOME (FIVE HOUR ROAD TRIP) NOISES STARTED COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. FELT LIKE IT WAS IS BINDING AND GRINDING. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND THE FIRST OF JULY. MY STEERING NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON A FIVE YEAR CAR IS A PROBLEM, THIS MADE MY CAR UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. AT ANY TIME MY STEERING GEAR COULD HAVE WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT HURTING MYSELF OR OTHERS. I COULD HAVE DIED. FORD HAS HAD STEERING ISSUES IN THE PAST ON MY CAR. THE CAR HAS HAD THREE RECALLS. ONE FORD RECALLED ON THERE OWN (STEERING ISSUES). I HAD TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED ON MY OWN PAYING THE AMOUNT OF $2,457.70 PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS RECALL THIS, SO THAT FORD CAN TAKE RESPONSIBLY FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING AND THE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. RIGHT BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUTOFF IT ACTED LIKE THE FUEL WAS VAPOR LOCKED AND THE ENGINE WAS NOT RECEIVING AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/2 TANK OF GASOLINE. MY CAR WAS FIXED LAST FALL BECAUSE OF A FUEL TANK RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND FLASHED THE TCM. BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND FLASHED THE TCM I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PRIOR TO THE DEALERSHIP FIXING THE DECAL. NOW WHENEVER MY VEHICLE GETS AT OR BELOW A HALF OF A TANK ON MY FUEL GAUGE IT ACTS LIKE IT'S STARVING FOR FUEL AND IS GOING TO DIE OUT.

WENT INTO A STORE, PARKED IN PARKING SPOT, CAME OUT, GOT IN CAR, PLACED CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF SPOT, CAR BEGAN TO BACK UP, THEN SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED WITH ENGINE STILL ON,. I THEN PLACED CAR IN DRIVE, WENT FORWARD, THEN ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT AGAIN, CAR BACKED UP, THEN SLOWED DOWN AGAIN, THEN JERKED REALLY HARD. AFTER WAITING FOR THE CARS PARKED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF ME TO LEAVE, I PLACED CAR IN REVERSE AGAIN, IT STOPPED AGAIN, I PLACED CAR IN DRIVE, CAR ACCELERATED SLOWLY, THEN GAVE A HARD JERK AGAIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD AND MAKE A COMPLETE CIRCLE, AND DRIVE FORWARD OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT A HALF A MILE HOME . UPON ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY, CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND STOPPED WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR SAT FOR 24HRS, I THEN TRIED TO START IT UP, IT STARTED UP, BUT WHEN I PLACED IT INTO REVERSE, IT DID NOT MOVE AT ALL.

ROUGH SHIFT STARTING AT 1ST AND GOING INTO SECOND THAT VIBRATE AND RATTLES ENTIRE CAR. THE BUCKLE MAKE IT SOUNDS LIKE BONES ARE BEING BROKEN . THIS HAPPENS DRIVING ANYWHERE AND CHANGING GEARS. STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IS THE WORSE. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE GOTTEN FROM FORD DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND AN ALERT POPPED UP ON MY DASH SAYING 'DRIVER ASSIST FAULT. REPAIR REQUIRED', IT WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN SINCE THEN AND THE FIRST OCCURRENCE ONLY HAPPENED YESTERDAY. AND AS WELL TO THAT MY TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A 6 SPEED IS STIFF AND STICKS A LOT WHERE I CAN'T CHANGE GEARS IMMEDIATELY.

CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO WRECKS. THIS RECALL HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE CAR COMPANY FAILED TO GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL.

MY CAR APPEARS TO OVER HEAT WHILE IDLED; SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WAITING IN A DRIVE THROUGH. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE OVER A YEAR AGO AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECALL TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND IT WAS FIXED. I RECEIVE A WARNING STATING THAT THE CAR IS TOO HOT PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WILL CUT OFF. I TURN OFF MY CAR FOR A MINUTE OR LESS AND IT RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS TAKES PLACE IF THE AC IS ON OR NOT.

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR SHUDDERING AND HESITATION, IT WAS WORKING FINE BUT LATELY THE PROBLEM IS BACK.

I HAD MY FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES SO FAR. AS OF TODAY, THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AND JERKING. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE MAINTENANCE TODAY. BUT, I WAS TURNED DOWN BY TODD ( SERVICE REP) AND BOB (SERVICE MANAGER) BECAUSE THE LEVEL OF EFFECTIVENESS WAS NOT AMOUNTED TO 250. THEREFORE, THEY RECOMMEND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AS IS AND RISK MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN $3000.

EVERY 4 DAYS THE STEREO DROPS THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION. THOUGHT MAYBE IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEN I NOTICED MY MPG WAS ONLY AT 13.3MPG WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED MY DISTANCE TO E WOULD SOMETIMES READ 415 MILES AFTER FILLING UP THEN IT WOULD SAY 226 OR EVEN 183. AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE? CONTACTED A COUPLE OF FORD DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE MY WARRANTY & EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED ( MIND YOU THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD) STARTING TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. IF I AM WRONG PLEASE SOMEONE EDUCATE ME. ALSO RESETTING THE SYNC SYSTEM HELPS WITH THE BLUETOOTH PROBLEM BUT I ALSO HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR 30 SECONDS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF WHILE EXITING THE RAMP NEARLY CAUSING ME TO VEER INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAS HAD A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION... I WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THAT DAY AS I WAS TERRIFIED. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO FORD DEALER AND THE HAVE SAID IT NEEDED A STEERING RACK REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $2000 I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THIS TIME FOR REPAIR SO I HAD TO DRIVE IT ONCE MORE TO TAKE IT HOME , WHICH WAS ANOTHER SCARY ORDEAL.. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE SEEMS TO AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH STEERING.. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND ALSO A SUMMARY ON PREVIOUS WORK DONE. *TR

TRUNK OPENS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FOCUS THAT I GOT FINANCE THROUGH MARIN COUNTY FORD, APRIL 2017. I HAVE TAKEN MAY CAR TO MARIN COUNTY FORD AND RECENTLY HILLTOP FORD REGARDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR CITY/HIGHWAY IT SHUDDERS, HAS SLOW SPEED, SHIFTING GEARS, RUNNING HOT AND WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO HILLTOP FORD AND THEY DIDN'T FIX THE TRANSMISSION. THEY BROKE THE COOLANT TUBE AND CHARGE ME TO FIX IT. THE ISSUES HAVE NOT BEING RESOLVED AS OF MAY 21, 2020 MY CAR IS UNDRIVABLE AND I HAVE TO REGISTER IT NEXT MONTH BY JULY 7, 2020 AS NON OPERABLE. HILLTOP FORD REFUSE TO HONOR THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

IT SOUNDS AS IF A BOLT HAS COME LOOSE INSIDE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT ROLLS FORWARD AND BACK WITH EVERY ACCELERATION AND STOP. IT HAPPENED WHEN I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SHOP TO HAVE THEM REPAIR THE CLUTCH THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. IT DIDN'T DO IT WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF, BUT IT WAS DOING IT WHEN I PICKED IT UP. *TR

MY 1.0L FOCUS HAD A DEFECTIVE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND SUFFERED FROM STALLING AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 18V735000. THE ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND LOCAL FORD DEALER DIAGNOSIS CONFIRMED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE HAD FAILED. THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO PAY FOR MY LOCAL DEALER TO REPLACE THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE OUT OF POCKET SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER 1.0L FOCUS OWNERS THAT HAVE SAID THEIR CANISTER PURGE VALVES HAVE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ONLINE FORUMS.. *TR

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE SHUDDERING WHEN COMING OFF OF A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY TIRES. I HAVE GOTTEN ALL NEW TIRES AND IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM NOT SOLVED. THEN MY CAR STARTED TO HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO ONE DAY OUT OF NO WHERE MY SPEAKERS STARTED TO BE STATICKY. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS STATIC AND VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE ALMOST MAKING ME GET INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT IS SO LOUD. I HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY 10 MINUTES AND SHUT THE CAR OFF WITH MOST OF THE TIME THE NOISE STILL GOING WITH THE CAR OFF. NOW I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON MY RADIO SCREEN OTHER THAN THE DATE AND TIME WITH A BLACK SCREEN. I HAVE THE RADIO AND SCREEN OFF AND THIS LOUD POPPING / STATIC NOISE IS UNSAFE TILL THIS DAY. DUE TO THE PROBLEM I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IN PERSON ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING IS DONE. *TR

TRAMS. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILED. MY GRANDSON PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND A WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WE DISCOVERED IT WAS THE POWER STEERING. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS WE HAD BEEN RUNNING ERRANDS ALL DAY. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. VEHICLE STALLED. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTORED CAR. GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE DRIVING CAR STALLED AGAIN. RESTARTED PULLED TO SIDE ROAD AND WHILE DRIVING STALLED AGAIN. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT IDLE, THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THERE IS NO INCREASE IN RESISTANCE. WHEN DRIVING THE POWER ASSIST INTERMITTENTLY WILL FAIL. IT SEEMS TO GO ON AND OFF AS YOU DRIVE AT 35-45 MPH ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE CURVES IN THE ROAD. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY FASTER AS I AM CONCERNED IF IT FAILS UNEXPECTEDLY AT HIGHER SPEED, IT WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE 2011-2014 VEHICLES WERE RECALLED BUT THIS MODEL YEAR WAS NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE STOUT ROSS FORD LOCATED AT 325 WINTER SHOW RD, WINTER SHOW, ND 58072, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

THE DRAIN PLUG FOR THE B6 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION COMES LOOSE AND CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO BLEED OUT. CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP. THIS IS A FACTORY SHIELD SYSTEM NO WAY TO CHECK FLUID LEVEL. APPARENTLY THE FLUIDS LEAK WHILE TRAVELING. *TR

WHEN IDLING FOR SO LONG THE CAR JUST DIED. I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE ALARM WENT HAYWIRE. THEN I HAVE TO WAIT 20 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN RESTART THE CAR. NOTHING WILL WORK AFTER IT DOES THIS UNTIL IT'S ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT'S BEEN AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION ISSUE, SAID THAT SHOULD FIX IT, BUT IT STILL KEEPS ON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS THE RADIO. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS ELECTRICAL BECAUSE SOMETHING LEAKED FROM THE RADIO AREA, BURNING THE CAR INTERIOR NEAR THE RADIO. RADIO STARTED MAKING A POPPING NOISE BEFORE THE BURN. KNOW THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK IN THE OFF POSITION RADIO STILL POPS. SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF SAFETY. DATE MAY BE WRONG...BUT ON FILE FORD DOUGLASVILLE THORNTON ROAD. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE LIVED IN THE DESERT AT THE TIME (PHOENIX METRO/SAN ANTONIO TO BE EXACT); YET WHEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR WORK THE MECHANIC HAD FOUND EXTENSIVE RUST DAMAGE TO EVERYTHING. PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN AND REBUILT TRANSMISSION. NOW, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE RADIATOR COMPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT SOMEWHERE THERE IS DAMAGE BECAUSE ONCE WE ARE DONE DRIVING FOR A BIT, THE ENTIRE RESERVOIR WILL LEAK OUT ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

TRANSMISSION- WAS DENIED SERVICE FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT DUE TO MILEAGE OVER 100,000. THOUGH I FILED COMPLAINT AT 90,000 MILES. ALSO, TRANSMISSION LEAKS DUE TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. UNSAFE DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. FUEL- FUEL TANK WAS REPAIRED BY CERTIFIED SERVICE DEALER, SINCE THE REPAIR I'VE BEEN STRANDED 7X DUE TO UNABLE TO GET FUEL. HALF TANK OF GAS TRAVELING HIGH SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC AND CAR SHUTS OFF, I LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL VEHICLE. 3X I'VE BARELY AVOIDED COLLISION. SINGLE MOM, ONE VEHICLE. SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY AND ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 50 MILES/HR, I SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. I WAS ALSO NOTIFIED VIA THE DASHBOARD COMMUNICATION SYSTEM "STEERING LOSS - STOP SAFELY". I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY BACK HOME. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER TO BE TOLD THIS HAPPENS AND WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I ALSO RESEARCHED AND SEE THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH FORD AND CHEVY VEHICLES. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY - SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WE ARE TALKING THE INABILITY TO CONTROL A 2000 POUND SLEDGEHAMMER WHEN THIS OCCURS.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME, EVEN AFTER THE LOCAL FORD DEALER REBUILT? THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ONLY FROM ANY STOP, WHICH CAN BE AT A STOPLIGHT, STOP SIGN OR PARKING AREA. I CAN AND WILL GIVE TODAY'S MILEAGE BUT THAT IS INSUFFICIENT SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A PERPETUAL PROBLEM. AFTER THE LOCAL DEALER REBUILT? THE TRANSMISSION IT IS LESS BUT THE CAR HAS JUMPED THE CURB AT A FAST FOOD WHEN I WANTED TO SLIGHTLY MOVE THE CAR FORWARD, ALMOST HIT THE BUILDING.

THE RADIO AND CD IS NOT WORKING.

THE RADIO QUIT WORKING BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT MAKES INTERMITTENT POPPING NOISE SO LOUD IT HURTS YOUR EARS. IT EVEN DOES IT WITH NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. AFTER INTERNET RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN MODELS SINCE 2012, MINE IS A 2015. IT IS MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT'S SO LOUD IT STARTLES HER WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, STATIONARY, DRIVING, NO KEYS IN IGNITION AND RADIO WILL STILL WORK SOMETIMES WITH WHITE NOISE BUT THE POPPING SOUNDS LIKE IT IS FULL VOLUME. IT IS VERY STARTING AND SCARES ME ALSO.

CAR WOULD SHUTTER THAN STOP RUNNING WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION. THE OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ONLY ONCE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN FOR AWHILE, AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM WOULD KEEP ON HAPPENING THE LONGER THE CAR HAD BEEN ON, FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY TIME WE HAD TO STOP, SUCH AS AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR WOULD SHUTTER THEN SHUT OFF. ONCE, IT HAD SHUT OFF ON AN EXPRESSWAY AS I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON AN EXIT AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AGAIN FOR AN HOUR.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR IS FINE, HOWEVER WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STICK... THEN IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE.

AFTER HAVING A RECALL DONE IN DECEMBER OF 2018 FOR THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, OR KNOW AS RECALL 18S32 ALL THAT WAS PERFORMED WAS A REPROGRAM AND NOTHING ELSE. A YEAR LATER MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65K MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICES AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR ANY REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE REGARDING THE PROBLEMS I'M EXPERIENCING, BECAUSE RECALL 18S32 WAS ALREADY PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER FUELING UP AND STARTING MY CAR THE CAR WILL ALMOST STALL OUT, AS WELL AS TRYING TO STALL WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. MY OBD SCANNER COMES UP WITH A FAULT CODE "P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM". A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM EVEN AFTER GETTING THE RECALL 18S32 PERFORMED ON THEIR VEHICLES. IT SEEMS LIKE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS PUT IN PLACE AND UNFORTUNATELY MANY PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING FROM IT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD RELEASE A PERMANENT FIX TO A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!

ON JUNE 15TH 2019 I WAS INVOLVED IN MY FIRST ACCIDENT. I WAS AT A STOP GOING STRAIGHT AND IN FRONT OF ME WAS A CAR TURNING TO GO SOUTH ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF ME. AS I WAS GETTING MY FIRST GEAR READY TO GO MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND I T-BONED THE PERSON TURNING. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND AFTER THIS ACCIDENT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR, I LOST TRUST IN FORD KEEPING ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS BUT WHEN I TAKE IT IN THEY SAY IT JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE OR SOMETHING ABOUT A FUEL TANK. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL IN REGARDS TO MY TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAY THAT THEY DON'T SHOW THAT IN THEIR SYSTEMS SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. NOW I'M HEARING ABOUT THE FORD EMPLOYEES SPEAKING OUT ON FAULTY CLUTCHES.

MY WIFE DROVE TO WORK, THE CAR FUNCTIONED FINE. WHEN SHE STARTED THE CAR AFTER WORK THE CAR COMPUTERS NOTIFIED HER THE STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM HAD FAILED. SHE NOTICED SHE COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. SHE CALLED ME AND I ASKED HER TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE HOME AND I WOULD LOOK INTO IT. I DISCOVERED THAT I COULD DO LITTLE BUT TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND THE STEREO IS POPPING VERY LOUDLY WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF , LOUD, LOW NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK BUT TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. THIS A EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD FROM BEING SCARED FROM THE POPPING NOTICES OUT OF NO WHERE TO MY HEARING ON THE ROAD WHICH IS A DANGER. I HAVE READ MANY MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS HAPPENING BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. I AM ALSO HAVE POWER ISSUES TO WHERE MY CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS AFTER A COMPLETE STOP LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE OFF WHICH IT SHOULD NOT DO. I HAVE READ MANY DEFECTS ON THIS PROBLEM TOO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE TACHOMETER INCREASED TO 800 RPMS AND THEN DECREASED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

VEHICLE IS SHUDDERING ON ACCELERATION IS DOING IT MORE OFTEN AND WORSE

RECALL #19N08. THE CAR HAS WHAT RECALL LETTER SAYS IS "A JUDDER OR SHUDDER ON LIGHT ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR DURING SHIFT EVENTS"; ALTHOUGH MINE IS NOT 'LIGHT'. SEVERAL TIMES UPON ENTERING A MAIN STREET FROM A SIDE STREET THE CAR SHUDDER'S SO BADLY I ALMOST GET HIT. WHEN DRIVING ON A TURNPIKE, I ACCELERATE, AND IT SHUDDERS. AT A STOP, IT SHAKES & SHUDDERS FOR 3 OR 4 CAR LENGTHS. IT'S NOT SAFE & IT'S GOTTEN WORSE SINCE I GOT THE CAR. MATTHEW'S FORD IN BROKEN ARROW, OK SAYS I DO NOT HAVE A CLEAN TITLE AND WHEN I CALLED THE OKLAHOMA COMMISSION DMV OFFICE, THEY SAY THE TITLE IS 'BRANDED'. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND, ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN CANCELLED, THEREFORE THERE CAN BE NO RECALL WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP LIED TO ME ABOUT THE FINANCING (HURTING MY CREDIT AND FINANCES) AND WE ENDED UP IN A LAWSUIT, WHICH WAS SETTLED. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING MEAN TO HURT ME FURTHER. DURING THE LAWSUIT THEY HAD PROVIDED ME WITH A TITLE, BUT IT WAS NOT NOTARIZED PROPERLY, AND I COULDN'T GET A TAG FOR ALMOST 9 MONTHS. WHEN WE SETTLED, I RECEIVED A GREEN TITLE EXACTLY LIKE I HAD ON OTHER CARS...SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT THAT HINDERS ME FROM A RECALL REPAIR. I'M 74 AND HAVE BOUGHT A LOT OF CARS AND THE TITLE LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OTHERS, NO NOTATIONS OR STAMPS ON IT OR ANYTHING. I EVEN LOOKED ON CAR-FAX AND TALKED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER (A FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENT) BEFORE AGREEING TO PURCHASE THE CAR. THERE WAS ONLY 32,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT IT DECEMBER 17, 2018. JUST REMEMBERED...THE SALESMAN SNEAKED IN A "TIRE & WHEEL WARRANTY" FOR $1,600. I CANCELLED IT, BUT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MECHANICAL PART OF CAR AND WARRANTY PLACE SENT MONEY BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH THEY KEPT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CAVALIER FORD GREENBRIER (1515 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757) 424-1111) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE KEY FOBS AND BATTERY WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

#1- ON AN INCLINE: AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, TRANSMISSION PERIODICALLY SHUDDERS AROUND 15-20 MPH WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. ALSO OCCURS FREQUENTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO 10 MPH FOR A SPEED BUMP, THEN ACCELERATING MODESTLY; USUALLY OCCURS IN 15-20 MPH RANGE. #2- AFTER TRANSMISSION HEATS UP (DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES), TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AFTER COMING ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN TURNING ONTO ADJACENT STREET AND ACCELERATING MODERATELY. AGAIN, MOST OFTEN OCCURS BETWEEN 15-20 MPH. #3- HILLSIDE ASSIST ON AN INCLINE: SOMETIMES TRANSMISSION HOLDS VEHICLE IN PLACE, SOMETIMES VEHICLE ROLLS BACK. #4- FROM A DEAD STOP, ENGINE BOGS DOWN A LITTLE UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION UNLESS GAS PEDAL IS STRONGLY DEPRESSED. VEHICLE PURCHASED SEPTEMBER 2019 FROM DEALERSHIP, MULTIPLE EVENTS (OVER TWO DOZEN) OCCURRED BEGINNING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND CONTINUING OVER A THREE-MONTH (APPROXIMATELY 1,400 MILES DRIVEN) PERIOD.

EACH TIME YOU PUT GAS INTO THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE ENGINE KEEPS TRYING TO START BUT IT WILL NOT KICK OVER. ALSO THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL MINUTES TO START BACK. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK HOWEVER THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT FORD HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE 2.0 LITER FORD FOCUS

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND SUDDENLY GAINS TRACTION. NOTICEABLE SLIPPING AND MISSED SHIFTS ARE ALWAYS OCCURING.

MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS SLAMMING FULL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A STORE, THANK THE LORD I HAD FULL COVERAGE AND IT ONLY DID COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I'VE ALSO HAD TIMES WHERE IT WILL SAY THE TRACTION CONTROL IS OUT OR IT HAS NO UPHILL START, MY MODEL DOESN'T HAVE THAT. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND ON MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS ISSUES ALREADY.

THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY SURGES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN REPEATEDLY AND I AM TOLD THAT THEY UPDATE SOFTWARE ON A MODULE. AM TOLD IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT BECAUSE IT IS IN LITIGATION THEY CAN'T REPLACE TRANSMISSION. I WANT A SAFE CAR. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN IT. DATE BELOW FOR EVENT DATE IS MOST RECENT.

WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THE VEHICLES DPS6 DUAL-CLUTCH "POWERSHIFT" TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY CAUSING THE CAR TO REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. IMPACT WAS ROUGHLY 15-25 MPH.

MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH NO AIR BAY DEPLOYMENT.

I HAVE GOTTEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE VARIOUS RECALLS AND MY CAR STILL IS UNSAFE FIVE SEPARATE INSTANCES MY CAR HAS SLOWED TO NEAR STOPPING AND THREE OF THOSE INSTANCES WHERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR OF THOSE THREE TIMES I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE STAYED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE RIGHT NEAR THE EMERGENCY LANE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE I HAVE THE SAME INSTANCE AND EVERY RECALL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO CHECK ON IT AND EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY UNTIL IT'S TIME TO DRIVE AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL AND STOP. I'VE MADE A COMPLAINT BEFORE REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE THAT CAN END UP COSTING LIVES. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO ITS UNSAFE CONDITION YET THE COMPANY REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

MY CAR WAS PART OF A RECALL I TOOK IT TO FORD AND SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS A QUICK FIX TIL THEY COULD INVESTIGATE AND FIND AN ACTUAL FIX FOR IT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM FORD I STARTED CALLING THE DEALER AS WELL AS FORD THEMSELVES TO INFORM THEM THAT MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT AND THAT SOMETHING NEEDED TO B DONE DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. ON NOV 28 2019 I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND AT THE MOMENT I DID THAT THE CARS DASH LIGHTS COMPLETELY LIT UP INCLUDING TRACTION LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE I GOT IT BACK FROM FORD, THE ABS LIGHT AND THE UP HILL PARKING LIGHT. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK OR STOP MY CAR IT SEEMED AS THOUGH MY CAR EITHER SHUT OFF OR JUST STOPPED RESPONDING TO ANY THING I TRIED TO DO TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL AND AVOID A CRASH, NOTHING WORKED. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE INTERSECTION I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TURN THE WHEEL AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND TRIED APPLYING MY BRAKES, ALL THIS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ME GOING OVER A CURB DOWN A DITCH INTO A RESERVOIR AND THEN I GOT BOUNCED BACK UP THE DITCH AND HIT A TREE WHICH FINALLY STOPPED MY CAR. MY CAR IS NOW TOTALED I'VE ONLY HAD OT FOR 17 MONTHS AND BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO FORD AND THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WASNT A FIX AVAILABLE, NOW I'M OUT OF MY ONLY CAR I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT DUE TO IT BEING FINANCED, AND STILL FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. I'M LUCKY TO HAVE ONLY WALKED AWAY WITH MINOR YET PAINFUL INJURIES BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NEXT PERSON? FORD NEEDS TO STEP IT UP. IM.ENCLOSING SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE CAR ACCIDENT AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSED TO B TEMPORARILY FIXED. THE POLICE REPORT IS UNAVAILABLE AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE ACCIDENT JUST HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO BUT ONCE I RECEIVE IT I CAN FORWARD IT.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES CLUTCH SHUDDERING ON LIGHT ACCELERATION. FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AS THE SERVICE TECH ADVISES, AFTER DRIVING IT, THAT IT ISN'T SEVERE ENOUGH YET, PER FORD'S ARBITRARY STANDARDS. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE SHUDDER OCCURS WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT FROM A STOP. THE NORMAL REACTION WHEN THIS OCCURS IS TO GIVE IT MORE GAS, RESULTING IN MORE RAPID ACCELERATION THAN PLANNED OR NECESSARY. THIS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON WET OR ICY ROADS. IT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD, BUT FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR IT, GAMBLING THAT I'LL SELL IT OR TIME ON THEIR EXTENDED 'WARRANTY' WILL RUN OUT BEFORE IT GETS BAD ENOUGH TO MEET THEIR ARBITRARY REPAIR THRESHOLD.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 18S32. I WENT TO FORD WEBSITE TO CHECK IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER RECALLS SO I COULD THEM WHILE DONE I'M OUT OF TOWN. THE ONLY RECALL IT LISTED IS THIS ONE, BUT WEBSITE SAYS RECALL INCOMPLETE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN FORD OF WATERFORD (248-674-4781, LOCATED AT 6975 HIGHLAND RD, WATERFORD, MI 48327) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED.

12-2-2016 PURCHASE DATE. PURCHASE WAS DELAYED BECAUSE SANDIFAR'S HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR. CLUTCH PACK IS WHAT I REMEMBER BEING TOLD. 1-26-19 BREAK DOWN. DRIVING TO WORK ON A PAVED COUNTY ROAD AND GOT A 'TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP' ERROR (IT WAS IN THE TEENS TEMPERATURE-WISE OUTSIDE WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND). TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT FUNCTION FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN WOULD ONLY GO A MILE OR 15 BEFORE OVERHEATING AGAIN. FINALLY GAVE UP AT THE DINER AT HIGHWAY 9 AND HIGHWAY 26. HAD IT TOWED (PAID $200) TO HUBLER/DELLEN/MCCOY/WHATEVER IN MUNCIE. HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR TWO DAYS (I HAD IT FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS). THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE UNDER WARRANTY AND CHARGED ME $430.96 TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH ACTUATOR. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT STILL SLIPS. SEPTEMBER 2019 RECEIVE LETTER FROM FORD. HAD SOME WORK DONE AT ADAMS (ACROSS FROM WORK IN KOKOMO). THEY MENTION THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING. 11-11-19 TO IT TO BRAD HOWELL FORD IN KOKOMO. TALKED TO JEFF IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE MADE COPIES OF MY LETTER AND MY PAPERWORK FROM HUBLER. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK INTO WHAT CAN BE DONE AND CALL ME.

RECALL NOTICE WAS 'SOFTWARE' UPDATE TO DETECT HARDWARE ISSUE. NO ISSUE DETECTED. THE HARDWARE THAT HAD ISSUED FAILED 2 WEEKS LATER. FORD STATES THAT THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND CANNOT OPEN. THE EQUIPMENT (CANISTER VALVE) THAT THE RECALL WAS CREATED FOR FAILED.

CAR BEGAN SHUDDERING AND THEN WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT GEARS OR ACCELERATE WHILE GOING UP AN ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO ROLL OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY.

VEHICLE SHUTTERS VERY BADLY IN FIRST GEAR. FORD SENT OUT A LETTER IN SEPTEMBER EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO INCLUDE A FREE CLUTCH REPAIR, BUT DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OPTING TO 'UPDATE' THE SOFTWARE, WHICH DOES NOTHING.

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS 2.0 SEDAN ELECTRIC RANDOMLY HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND STARTED SHIFTING ABNORMALLY AND OUT OF CONTROL. AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T SHIFT PROPERLY AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT REVVED UP HIGH AND MADE MY VEHICLE ACCELERATE DOWN THE ROAD ALMOST CAUSING ME TO WRECK.

HAD RECALL SERVICE DONE FOR FUEL TANK DEFORMATION ISSUE OR SO THE DEALERSHIPS SAYS. BUT AFTER I THE CAR BACK IT SEEMS TO BE RUNNING GREAT BUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT STALLS ON ME AND FAILS TO CRANK WHEN IT DID IT WOULDNT CONTINUE TO RUN OR IDLE FOR LONG BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. AFTER 30 MO S OR SO OF PRIMING FUEL PUMP AND RETRYING AND LETTING SET. IT CRANKS UP AND RUNS FINE. RECALL NEEDS TO BE FURTHER RESEARCHED OR DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMING TO COMPLETE RECALL PROCEDURES AND NOT DOING SO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SMOKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND THE SMOKE AND FLAMES BECAME MORE RAMPANT. THE CONTACT CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND HAD THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT TOW YARD AND THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE VEHICLE WERE UNKNOWN. THE INSURANCE COMPANY CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION OF THE INCIDENT AND RETRIEVED THE SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE FROM CHAPMAN'S NORTHEAST FORD (9371 ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19114, 866-577-2408).

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SALVAGED AND WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR MY FORD FOCUS BECAUSE THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE'S CLUTCH. EVERYTHING WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED WITH NO EXPENSE TO ME. UPON DELIVERING THE CAR TO A FORD DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED $145 FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO LOCATE THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE TO MY CLUTCH. IF THE RESULTS COME BACK SHOWING THE CLUTCH TO BE THE ISSUE THEN THE FEE WOULD BE WAIVED, BUT IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE ANOTHER ISSUE THEN I'D BE FOUND LIABLE FOR THE CHARGE. IN THIS INSTANCE BECAUSE THERE'S A RECALL THAT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY FORD, I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD BE GETTING CHARGED JUST TO HAVE THEM LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THE CAR WITH 6K MILES 18 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 15K MILES SINCE THEN. DURING THAT TIME I'VE EXPERIENCED A RECURRING, PERSISTENT AND SEVERE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER THAT MAKES THE CAR LURCH AND LAG WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR (ALTHOUGH IT IS LESS SEVERE - STILL VERY NOTICEABLE, BUT NOT SCARY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND). STARTING FROM A STOP IS THE MAJOR SAFETY-RELATED CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE THE DRIVER HAS A SENSE OF LOSING CONTROL. I ASSUMED SINCE THE CAR WAS USED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEN A MONTH AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD SAYING THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED ON THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. THE LETTER HAD MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER ON IT SO I ASSUMED IT APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. AFTER TAKING IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN WRECKED (PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE). THEY CHARGED ME $250 TO DIAGNOSE AND CONFIRM IT HAS A SEVERE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER PROBLEM, WHICH THEY SAID WAS NOT COVERED BY FORD. THEY ESTIMATED THE NECESSARY REPAIR TO THE CLUTCH AND ACTUATOR TO BE $2,100. I CALLED THE FORD HOTLINE CONFUSED ABOUT THE LETTER I RECEIVED ONLY TO BE TOLD AGAIN THE WARRANTY DOESN'T APPLY TO ME BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY WRECKED. I UNDERSTAND A PREVIOUS WRECK MAY VOID THE WARRANTY, BUT IN THIS CASE IT SEEMS AN EXCEPTION IS WARRANTED AS THIS A WELL-KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND MY SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO THOSE DOCUMENTED ELSEWHERE. FORD ALSO REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME THE $250 I PAID TO HAVE THE PROBLEM DIAGNOSED, WHICH I DID BECAUSE THEY SENT ME A LETTER TELLING ME MY WARRANTY HAD BEEN EXTENDED. FORD SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM EVEN ON CARS WHICH OTHERWISE DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF SOME TECHNICALITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE PROPER GEAR THE SHUDDERING AND TRANSMISSION ISSUE MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BRIGHTON FORD, 190 W BROMLEY LN, BRIGHTON, CO 80601, (303) 800-3235, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE VEHICLE NOT BEING ABLE TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V169000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. *DT *TR

THE RPM'S CONSTANTLY JUMP UP AND DOWN FROM 2-4, NOT ACCELERATING SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT THE GAS STALLING AND ALMOST PAUSING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO, THE GEAR SWITCHES ARE NOT IN A SAFE LOCATION. I DON'T USE THEM AND HAVE ACCIDENTALLY HIT THEM WHILE DRIVING WHICH LEAD TO SUDDEN STOPS ON THE EXPRESSWAY PUTTING ME AT RISK TO BE REAR ENDED. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

I TOOK A 3 HOUR TRIP UP TO MY MOTHER'S HOUSE THAT WEEKEND AND THEN DROVE BACK ANOTHER 3 HOURS AND PARKED IT FOR THE NIGHT. I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL I STARTED MY CAR UP THE NEXT MORNING. A NOTICE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD SAYING "STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED." THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY STIFF AND MAY AS WELL HAVE BEEN LOCKED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING. SO THAT WOULD MEAN THIS HAPPENED OVERNIGHT WHILE THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AFTER UNSUCCESSFULLY TRYING TO FIND A BASIC FIX AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY. I FIGURE IT HAPPENING OVERNIGHT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WHOLE SYSTEM BEING EVENLY SOAKED WITH HEAT FROM THE LONG DRIVE AND COOLING VERY SLOWLY OVERNIGHT CAUSING CRACKS IN THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. IT WAS A $3000 REPAIR JOB FOR A CAR THAT HAD LESS THAN 37,000 MILES ON IT ALBEIT A 2015 MODEL YEAR. DUE TO THE WARRANTY BEING OUT, I HAD TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. OTHER PEOPLE I'VE SEEN EXPERIENCE THIS HAD IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY HAD NO ISSUES. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME THIS WAS A USED CAR AND HAD NO WARRANTY LEFT ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (ENGINE).

WHEN THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE STALL AND THEN LURCHES FORWARD BERFORE RESUMING NORAL DRIVING. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT.

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS A HORRIBLE CLUTCH SHUDDER AND SLIPS WHEN YOU TRY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE SPOKEN TO FORD ABOUT THIS AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SLIPPAGE. THEY RECOGNIZE THERE IS A SHUDDER PROBLEM, BUT REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE. THE TITLE IS BRANDED DUE TO AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THE REAR PASSENGER CORNER AND IT BEING A CHEAP CAR. THE ACCIDENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HORRIBLE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH THEY DESIGNED AND NEW THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN. THIS SHUDDER/SLIPPING PROBLEM HAS ABOUT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT A COUPLE TIMES NOW AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS ACT LIKE THIS. IT WILL DO GREAT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN WHEN YOU NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY IT WILL REAR ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN. IT IS THE WORST WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC OR TURN IAS YOU PULL OUT IT SEEMS, BUT ALWAYS FROM A STAND STILL OR CLOSE TO IT.

VEHICLE SPUTTERS AFTER TAKE OFF FROM STOPS SUCH AS TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. PULLING OUT OF PLACES INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE CUTS OFF SOMETIMES AFTER PULLING OUT FROM LOCATIONS. THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING WORSE AND WORSE. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CUT IF AND I'M GOING TO BE KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY NOW. WHENEVER I'M DRIVING AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OR IF I'M PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE STALLED, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION, AND GRADUALLY SLOWED DOWN UNTIL IT WAS GUIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALSO, AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED, IT WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HAASZ AUTOMALL OF RAVENNA (4886 OH-59, RAVENNA, OH 44266, 330-296-2866) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE O2 SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED FOR $500; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING AWAY. NICK MAYER FORD (6200 MAYFIELD RD, MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, OH 44124, (440) 449-1000( WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN RECALL REGARDING THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT PAID $200 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH EITHER ONE OF THE DEALERS OR THE MANUFACTURER. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE FROM THE HAASZ DEALER. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER UNKNOWN FORD DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT NICK MAYER FORD SHOULD NOT HAVE CLOSED THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE THERE WAS STILL AN ISSUE. THE RECALL WOULD NEED TO BE RE-ISSUED IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CURRENTLY WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO APPLY THE RECALL BACK ON HER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,500.

I WAS DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC, CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MIN, IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SAFE AREA BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER.

VEHICLE JUST TURNS OFF OUT OF NOW WHERE NO MATTER THE SPEED AND IT HAS BEEN TURNING OFF EVEN WHEN IT IS IN PARK.

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK AND WAITING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPOT, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A GRIND NOISE WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNING. NEXT I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN. SHORTLY FROM NOTICING STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT MORE DIFFICULT TO TURN, THE STEERING WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICES AT THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT POWER STEERING GEAR INTERNALLY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP IN 2015. THEY DIDNT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS MY CAR MIGHT HAVE. IT WAS THE PERFECT CAR. I DROVE 6 HOURS TO GET THIS CAR. ON MY WAY HOME I NOTICE THE SHUDDER AND VIBRATION. NEVER HAVE I FELT THIS BEFORE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY RESET THE PERIMETERS AND TOLD US TO DRIVE IT HARD THAT THESE CARS NEEDED TO ADJUST TO THE WAY WE WERE DRIVING IT. IT WAS STILL UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. FAST FORWARD TO OUR TRIP TO COLORADO/VEGAS. TRACTION CONTROL WAS NEEDED YET IT SMELT LIKE WIRE BURNING. TURNED IT OFF. WE WENT TO THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN FOR PICS AND THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN BACK UP THE HILL. ALL IT WOULD DO WAS GO FORWARD.. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AGAIN THEY SAID IT WAS THE CLUTCH AND IT NEEDED REPLACED. IT WAS ONLY 300 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AT THIS TIME AND THEY WOULDNT FIX IT.

"STEERING ASSIST FAULT, SERVICE REQUIRED" CAME UP ON THE INFORMATION PANEL AND MADE IT VERY HARD TO STEER AS I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD! LUCKILY IT HAPPENED ON A 35 MPH SECTION OF THE ROAD AND THERE WAS NO TURNING INVOLVED, IT WAS LIKE THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY.

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HESITATES DURING TAKE-OFF WITH A KNOWN DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THIS HESITATION CAUSES THE CAR TO JOLT BACK AND FORTH WITH A POSSIBLE CAUSE TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU DURING SLOW TRAFFIC. THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP HAS EXPLAINED THIS AS AN ANNOYANCE INSTEAD OF A SAFETY ISSUE. FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT, BUT I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH A REBUILT TITLE AND FORD WILL NOT HONOR OR COVER THE CLUTCH UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $2000 ON A KNOWN PROBLEM BECAUSE OF THE REBUILT TITLE. NOW A DAYS IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH FOR AN INSURANCE COMPANY TO TOTAL A CAR WITH A SMALL FENDER BENDER. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD COVER THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY OF THE CAR WITH EITHER A CLEAN TITLE OR SALVAGED TITLE.

WHEN I DRIVE FOR MORE THAT 20 MINUTES, MY CAR WILL START DYING WITHOUT WARNING. I CAN THEN PUT IT IN PARK AND START THE CAR, WHICH IT WILL THEN START UP AND I CAN DRIVE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MINUTE AND IT WILL DIE AGAIN. IT WILL DO THIS OVER AND OVER UNLESS I STOP DRIVING AND LET THE CAR 'REST' FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A WEEK AFTER I HAD SOME RECALL WORK DONE ON THE CSV.

OVER THE PAST YEAR MY FORD FOCUS 2015 HAS BEGUN SUFFERING A TERRIBLE "SHUDDERING" WHEN GOING FROM STOP TO MOVING (SPECIFICALLY THE FIRST SHIFT RANGE OF 15-20MPH), AND ESP. WHEN GOING FROM STOP TO MOVING ON A TURN (STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THEN TURNING FOR EXAMPLE) , PUSHING MORE GAS DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP ACCELERATE ANY FASTER. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED BEFORE BUT THE ISSUE JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE, AND IT REALLY SUCKS.

MY CAN USED TO GET 400 PLUS MILES WHEN THE HAS TANK IS FULL. NOW IT GETS LESS AND STUDY GET LESS WHEN I FILL UP. WHEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR SOUND LIKE AIR RUSHING IN AND THE RPM'S REV UP WAY TO HIGH. THIS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS. THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING THE FREEWAY, HIGHWAY, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.

RECENTLY HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED FOR 7TH TIME, CAR STILL SHUDDERING, HESITATING WITH LACK OF POWER WHETHER AT A STANDSTILL OR ON THE MOVE.

CAR WILL HESITATE TO ACCELERATE LEAVING YOU TO PRESS THE GAS HARDER THAN NEEDED AT TIMES AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SOMETIMES CAR WONT SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEAR. WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET MY CAR WILL REV UP TO 7,000 RPM AND STAY THERE FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF THIS HAPPENING AND IM TOLD ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH FOR FORD TO COVER IT UNDER MY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT DOESNT MEET THEIR REQUIREMENTS FOR A REPAIR. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CLUTCH AS WELL AS TCM. A TOTAL OF 3 TRANSMISSION REPAIRS AND NOW IM PASSED MY WARRANTY SO THEY WONT COVER THE DIAGNOSIS. IVE HAD IT LOOKED AT MULTIPLE TIMES AND WAS TOLD ITS NOT BAD ENOUGH OR THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AT ALL. AND MY VIDEOS ARENT PROOF ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN SEE MY CRUISE IS SET AND MY SPEED DOESNT CHANGE BUT MY RPMS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE, NOR IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO MAKE MY RPMS STAY CONSISTANT AT A RATE. VERY FRUSTRATING TO BUY A BRAND NEW CAR TO HAVE THESE ISSUES CONTINUE TO HAPPEN AND GET HORRIBLE HAS MILEAGE.

CAR SHAKES BADLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY ON AN INCLINE. CAR CAN STALL AND COME TO A STOP WHEN TRAVELING LESS THAN 40 MPH. THE FIRST ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW AND THE STALLING BEGAN HAPPENIN JUST IN THE LAST WEEK.

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP MY CAR SPUTTERS/ STUTTERS AND TRIES TO STALL OUT. IT ALSO HAS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT HAS CAUSED MY STEREO AND OTHER FUNCTIONS TO NO LONGER WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS.

A BOUGHT A USED FORD CAR FROM TOYOTA, THE CAR UNKNOWINGLY HAD A RECALL ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SEEN 10 TIMES, UNDER WARRANTY, THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH HAS GONE OUT, FORD AND TOYOTA HAVE REFUSED TO BY BACK THE CAR. CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 31 DAYS AS OF NOW. AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RENTAL, FORD WILL NOT OPEN THE RECALL BACK OPEN. HENDRICKS WON'T LOOK AT THE CAR THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO FORD. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT EXELORATE PASS 40-55 MILES PER HOUR. THE RADIO, BLUETOOTH PORTS STOPPED WORKING. THE AUTO START AND STOP STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD COMPANY MORE THAN 10 TIMES WITH 6 CASE NUMBERS. THE LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING THE CAR I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COULD SMELL A BURNING ODER, THEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT OUT (STUCK IN THE FAR BACK POSITION) THEN THE CAR WHEN INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT EXCEL PAS 50 MILES PER HOUR AFTER PRESSING THE GAS THE GAS PETAL GOES OUT. THE STICK TO CHANGE GEARS WHEN OUT AND THE CAR WAS SMOKING. I THEN ROLLED OFF THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO AN ACTIVE RECALL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT REVERSE WHEN PLACED INTO THE REVERSE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (POWER TRAIN) REGARDING THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH DUNPHY FORD (7700 FRANKFORD AVE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19136, 215-624-6700) AND WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

WHEN DRIVING THIS FOCUS, UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION, THIS CAR SHUTTERS BADLY. SEEMS TO SHUTTER MORE ON HOT DAYS, BUT THIS OCCURS ALL YEAR ROUND. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, FOUND THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. PLAN ON CALLING DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED. I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS SLIPS AND IS GENERALLY SLUGGISH. SOMETIMES READS IN NEUTRAL AND CAR IS IN DRIVE MODE. FORD DEALERSHIPS STATE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND SEALS NEED REPLACED HAVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION FROM DEALERSHIP CONFIRMING THE ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WILL DO TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AS FORD HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.I WAS SHUNNED AND GENERALLY TREATED VERY POORLY BY EVERY F ORD DEALERSHIP I SPOKE WITH AS THEY STATED THEY CANNOT RECOVER THE REPAIR COSTS FROM FORD.

WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, (AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR A SMALL DISTANCE) THE CAR JERKS AND JUMPS AND DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR NOT, BUT IT WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD IT IN TO A REPAIR SHOP YET AND I AM WONDERING IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BAD TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE PUT INTO THE FORD FOCUSES. THIS HAPPENS WEATHER I AM DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING. I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FORD BACK IN DECEMBER 2018 THAT STATED MY CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH CERTAIN THINGS AND THAT THEY WOULD BE SENDING OUT A RECALL IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM FORD AFTER THAT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,691. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

GOT THE CAR AROUND 31K MILES I'VE BEEN DOING UBER SINCE I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO DESPERATELY NEEDS MONEY ALL THE TIME. MY TRANSMISSION JUST WENT ON MY 2015 FORD FOCUS SE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20 MPH AROUND A ROUND ABOUT, WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLED. ON THE DASH IT SAID TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING WAIT 5 MINUTES. SO I DID. THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO INTO GEAR. I HAD A PREVIOUS 2013 MODEL WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TO THINK FORD WOULD OF FIXED THE PROBLEM, THEY CONTINUED TO SELL THESE CARS. KNOWING THEY HAD FAILURE WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

WHEN TURNING THE CAR VIBRATES AND SHAKES A LOTS AND MAKE SOME NOISE.NOT SURE WHAT THIS COULD BE BUT NEED HELP WITH THIS BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS. THIS HAPPENED UPON TURNING TAKE OFF,HIGHWAY, EXHILARATION IN CITY ALSO TOO. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICE THIRD A FRIEND BOUGHT THIS TO MY ATTENTION I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALL WHEE WE DRIVE. BOUGHT CAR03-08-20 DRIVE OUT OF TOWN IN APRIL FOR WEDDING.

SHUDDER AFTER ACCELERATION

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE UPDATES ( TCM ) WHICH THE DEALERSHIP KEPT SAYING WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IT DID NOT IN MOST CASES MADE IT WORSE. THE DUAL CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIME'S THE THROW OUT BEARING, AND THE SHIFT MOTORS FOR THE FIX TO LAST BETWEEN 10,000 TO 15,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE CLUTCH BEING REPLACED AGAIN. AT THE LAST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP WAS ADVISED THE CLUTCH NEED REPLACED AGAIN BUT WAS ADVISED IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY NOW BECAUSE THE CLUTCH USED AT LAST REPLACEMENT WAS THE LATEST REVISED EDITION THAT HAD A 10,000 MILE WARRANTY THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT FORD CUSTOMER CARE AND OPEN A CASE UP TO SEE IF FORD WILL WARRANTY THE REPAIR. WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GIVE THEM THE CASE NUMBER ISSUED BY FORD. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED LATER THAT DAY AND ADVISED THAT MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICKUP. AFTER ARRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP THE CLUTCH HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED WAS ADVISED AT THAT TIME IT DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SHUTTER FILE NUMBER TO WARRANT REPLACEMENT BUT IT DID A WEEK EARLIER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP. AT THE CURRENT TIME THE SLIP'S ON ACCELERATION. JERK'S AND SHAKE'S WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION. HILL ASSISTANCE WORKS SPORADIC TO KEEP THE CAR FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS WHEN PULLING OUT ON A HILL. THE CAR AT TIMES WILL NOT WANT TO UPSHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT WHEN IT NEED TO CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEN IT WILL SHIFT CORRECTLY FROM A FEW DAYS TO A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THEN THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. BUT I'M TOLD BY FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR NOW AFTER I GOT A CASE NUMBER FROM FORD ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS ONLY 75,000 MILES AND HAS STILL NOT BEEN FIXED BY FORD.

PURCHASED USED FROM A FORD DEALER USED 2015 FORD FOCUS. WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE HAD TO LERN MY STYLE OF DRIVING. CAR SHUTTERS WHEN GOING ACCELERATING, TAKE TIME TO SHIFT BETWEEN 1,2,3, GEARS. ALSO SHUTTERS AT OTHER SPEEDS IN THE MIDDLE OF SHIFTING. CANNOT SHIFT QUICKLY FROM PARKED OR IN STOPPED POSITION LIKE AT A STOP LIGHT OR WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. CAR ALSO NOW REVS HIGH AND HAS TO BE COOLED DOWN AFTER DRIVING. I CANNOT TRUST VEHICLE TO BE DRIVEN BY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS DUE TO TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM BUT DEALERSHIP CHARGES FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND STATES THAT IT IS THE WAY I DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AKINS FORD (220 WEST MAY ST, WINDER, GA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS SERVICED APPROXIMATELY EIGHT SEPARATE TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVERE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT WILL SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION AND SLIP GEARS. AT LEAST ONCE WHILE IN MOTION, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. MY REQUEST FOR RELIEF IN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS DENIED WITH NO EXPLANATION OR WAY TO APPEAL.

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN I BEGAN TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE AWAY FROM THE LIGHT MY CAR SHOOK AGGRESSIVELY AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION. LUCKILY OTHER CARS WERE ABLE TO STOP. I RESTARTED MY CAR AND PUT IT IN GEAR IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AGAIN. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. EVENTUALLY I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT HOME SHAKING EVERY TIME I ACCELERATED. I TOOK IT TO BEAU TOWNSEND FORD. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CLUTCH SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION AND NEEDED FIXED. THEY SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING INTO NEURAL. I PURCHASED MY CAR ONE YEAR PRIOR AND THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THEN THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS RELIABLE AND EFFECTIVE. HE IT WAS A GREAT TRANSMISSION THAT NEVER NEEDED SERVICING DURING THE LIFE OF MY CAR. HE KNOWINGLY LIED TO ME.

THE CAR JUMPS, SHAKES, AND JITTERS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A START. OFTEN TIMES JERKS BADLY AND FEELS AS IF IT WILL NOT WANT TO GO!

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2015 FORD FOCUS WITH NO ACCIDENTS. AFTER 2 YEARS AND 20,000 MILES THE CAR WOULD OCCASIONALLY SHAKE VIOLENTLY UPON ACCELERATION, WHERE IT WOULD THEN ACCELERATE SLOWER THAN NORMAL AT THAT. I AM GREATLY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS, AND THE ENTIRE PUBLIC AS A LOSS OF CONTROL FROM THIS BEHAVIOR COULD CAUSE MULTIPLE FATALITIES AND GREATLY IMPACT MANY FINANCIALLY DUE TO TRAFFIC CAUSED BY AN ACCIDENT, OR EXUBERANT HEALTH AND/OR FUNERAL COSTS. I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE FIXED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY (COSTING ME A DAY OF WORK AS FORD DENIED ME A RENTAL EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE WAS UNEQUIVOCALLY THEIR FAULT), BUT I KNOW THE ISSUE WILL COME BACK SOON AS IT HAS FOR MANY OTHERS. UPON WHICH, I WILL HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AGAIN AND WILL SELL THE CAR TO AN UNSUSPECTING BUYER WHO MAY BE MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS THEY WILL BE LESS INFORMED ON THE ISSUE WHEN THE PROBLEM OF THE DEFECTIVELY ENGINEERED CAR RISES AGAIN. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS STEERED ME AWAY FROM AMERICAN CARS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE 1996 HONDA CIVIC I BOUGHT IN 2008 AND SOLD IN 2015.

THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR MY CAR AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY.

CAR HESITATES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP, HESITATION WHEN COASTING AND APPLYING THROTTLE, SHUDDERING (SOMETIMES SEVERE) AFTER EACH GEAR SHIFT FROM STOP TO FIRST, FIRST TO SECOND, SECOND TO THIRD. CLUTCH FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING MID-GEAR IN FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD GEAR. CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE ON FREEWAY AND CAUSED A JAM WHILE I NURSED IT OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY MADE 3 CLUNKS AND THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER, ALMOST DIED OUT.HE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. HE ALMOST GOT HIT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR HAS DONE THIS. THE FIRST TIME, IT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY AND LEFT HIM STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A STALL RISK, BUT THEY CAN NOT REPAIR THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD HEADQUARTERS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THE 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STALL RISK. THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS HAD MY 2015 FORD FOCUS WILL NOT TRY TO REPEAT THE BEHAVIOR THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO COMPLETELY LOSE ACCELERATION. THEY KEEP TRYING TO GIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME AND IT IS NOT FIXED!! FORD MOTORS NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR KNOWINGLY SELLING THE 2012-2016 FORD FOCUS WHEN THEY KNEW THAT ALL OF THESE CARS HAD BAD TRANSMISSIONS. WE DO NOT WANT THE CAR BACK. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF THE STALL RISK.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE FORD FOCUS/FIESTA DPS6 TRANSMISSION ISSUE. DUE TO THE DRY DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM ISSUE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE AND RUMBLE VIOLENTLY WHILE MOVING. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN THE SUPPOSEDLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE FIRST TIME I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH WHICH STOPPED THE RUMBLE ISSUE UNTIL FEW MONTHS LATER, THE RUMBLE RETURNED. AGAIN I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP HOWEVER THIS TIME THEY BLAMED IT ON THE PURGE VALVE IN THE GAS TANK WHICH THEY REPLACED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE RUMBLE ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT TRY TO VERIFY THE RUMBLE. THEY SIMPLY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT BY STATING THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, THE RUMBLE OCCURRED AGAIN BUT WORSE THAN BEFORE. IMMEDIATELY MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AS IF IT'S STUCK AT FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DROPPED TREMENDOUSLY WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND EVERYONE WAS GOING 60+ MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT GETTING HIT. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT RAN CONTINUE TO RUMBLE BUT NOT AS VIOLENTLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I QUICKLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THE WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSE TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR BECAUSE THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM IS TECHNICALLY A MANUAL CLUTCH. FOR THAT REASON THEY DO NOT COVER IT. AS A CONSUMER, WE HAVE NO IDEA EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF PARTS THE VEHICLE CONTAINS. THE VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED AS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH IN COMMON SENSE, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN A MANUAL CLUTCH. THE DEALERSHIP WAS REQUESTING $2000+ FEE TO REPLACE THIS CLUTCH. AT THE SAME TIME OF THIS INSPECTION, THE PURGE VALVE IN THE GAS TANK WAS ALSO DEFECTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING PERSISTED FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY AGAIN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE PLACE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,300.

AFTER 3 WEEKS OF PURCHASING A NEW 2015, WE EXPERIENCE SEVERE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND SHUDDERING . STEERING COLUMN SHAKE, SHIFTS UP AND DOWN FORCED AND NOT ACCURATE. SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE TO THE POINT OF BEING A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. HELP ME. FORD SAID IT WAS MY FAULT, REFUSED TO GENERATE A WORK ORDER. 2ND TIME DIF DEALER SAID IT WAS NORMAL GO AWAY NO WORK ORDER EVEN. 3RD VISIT THEY SAID LEAVE IT FOR 30 DAYS, I CAN'T. THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME A LOANER.4 TRY THEY SAID DON'T KNOW WHAT U TALKING ABOUT. I NEED FORD TO BUY THIS CAR BACK.HELP. I WILL GIVE MY CAR TO NHTSA TO VERIFY AND USE FREE OF CHARGE. THEY CAN KEEP IT.

NUMEROUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. STALLING WHEN PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR AND LURCHING FORWARD WHEN NOT PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR OFTEN ARE MAIN ISSUES. TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND AND TCM REPLACED PREVIOUSLY UNDER WARRANTY WITHOUT SUCCESSFUL REPAIR. MOST RECENTLY MY VEHICLE AT 83,000 MILES WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW CLUTCH AGAIN AND FORD REFUSED TO COVER REPAIR BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT AFTER THEIR WARRANTY CUTOFF DATE AND I WAS CHARGED ALMOST $2,700 BY FORD DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE CLUTCH (DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED). NOT EVEN 1 WEEK AFTER RECEIVING VEHICLE BACK FROM FORD AFTER REPAIRS VEHICLE BEGAN EXHIBITING SAME ISSUES WHICH USUALLY PROGRESS AS TIME GOES ON. I FELT UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE AFTER SO MANY REPAIRS AND HAVING TO PAY FOR THE MOST RECENT TRANSMISSION SO PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE INSTEAD. I CAN ALSO PROVIDED DOCUMENTATION IF NEEDED FROM ALL THE PREVIOUS REPAIRS BY FORD.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT SHUTTERS, AND SLIPS GEARS. I EXPERIENCE POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING, AND HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED TROUBLE TRYING TO GET IT TO SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (FIRST TIME CAR BUYER) AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, I WAS TOLD THESE ARE NORMAL, AND WOULD NOT BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN, BUT HAVE SINCE BECOME A HUGE CONCERN.

DPS06, SHUDDERING AND BUCKING AT LOW SPEEDS (15-25MPH) AND SLIGHT VIBRATION AT AROUND 55 MPH THAT GOES AWAY WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO 6TH. VARIOUS PROBLEMS SEEM EXADURATED IN THE RAIN EXPLAINED AS "DRIVING WEIRD"

I PAID $2,373.20 FOR REPAIRS TO THE CLUTCHES/TRANSMISSION FOR OUR DAUGHTER'S 2015 FORD FOCUS. ACCORDING TO THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, FORD HAS INSTRUCTED ITS DEALERS TO PAY FOR THESE EXACT REPAIRS, AFTER WE HAD ALREADY PAID FOR OUR REPAIRS. SO, I AM ASKING FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE AMOUNT WE PAID TO REPAIR THE 2015 FORD FOCUS. HTTPS://WWW.FREEP.COM/STORY/MONEY/CARS/FORD/2019/07/18/FORD-FOCUS-DPS-6-TRANSMISSION-FIESTA/1766990001/

WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR BUCKING UPON ACCELERATION, NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY, WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND THEN START AGAIN IT HESITATES. WE ALMOST GOT STRANDED IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL OUT. MY HUSBAND WAS ALSO DRIVING IT SLOW ONE DAY ON A REALLY BUMPY BACK ROAD AND LOST USE OF THE CAR. HE WAS NOT ABLE TO USE DRIVE OR REVERSE. HE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET HOME. ALTHOUGH OUR CAR IS OUT OF IT'S NORMAL WARRANTY, OUR MECHANIC TOLD US THAT FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF ALL THE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WAS OUR CLUTCH AND RIGHT NOW FORD IS NOT COVERING THE CLUTCHES EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE CAUSING THE CLUTCHES TO GO. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY SEEMED VERY DISINTERESTED IN THE PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED THE SERVICE MAN WHY WE WEREN'T TOLD ABOUT THESE ISSUES UPON OUR PURCHASE HE SAID, WELL THEN THEY WOULDN'T MAKE MONEY. I AM VERY UPSET THAT FORD IS ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. I HAVE CHECKED TONS OF WEBSITES AND IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM TIME AFTER TIME.

AFTER DRIVING LIKE FOR 30 MINUTES IF I MAKE COMPLETE STOP AND WHEN I PRESS GAS PADDLE MY CAR STARTS SHAKING AND HARD TO GET PICK UP. IT SHAKES FOR COUPLE OF TIME AND THEN GOES NORMAL. AND WHILE DRIVING ALSO I CAN FEEL THE SAME.

TRANSMISSION WENT INTO TO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEED. WAS FORCED TO DRIFT ONTO THE SHOULDER, SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART. HAPPENED TWICE TODAY.

AT 56,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING FAILED. THIS RESULTED IN HEAVY AND INACCURATE STEERING INPUTS WHICH COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. FORD IS QUOTING A REPAIR BILL IN EXCESS OF $2,400. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE RECALL IN 2018 AFFECTING 1/2 MILLION FORDS AND THE RECALL FROM 2014 AFFECTING OVER 1 MILLION FORDS FOR SIMILAR STEERING RELATED ISSUES AND PREMATURE FAILURE. I HAVE NEVER HAD STEERING FAIL AND HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER 200K MILES INCLUDING MY 1989 F250. THE TECHNICIAN SAID UPON INSPECTION THAT THE STEERING GEAR WAS FULL OF WATER AND DIRT CAUSING CORROSION. I'M A NORMAL COMMUTER ON EVERYDAY ROADS. HE SPECIFICALLY SAID IT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT I COULD HAVE DONE THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THE BOOTS WERE COMPLETELY IN TACT AND HE COULDN'T COMMENT ON HOW THE CONTAMINANTS ENTERED THE STEERING GEAR. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS FAULTY DESIGN. IF IT WERE ANYTHING OTHER THAN STEERING OR BRAKES, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE VOICING MY CONCERNS IN THIS FORUM BECAUSE THIS REPRESENTS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. FORD MUST CAST A WIDER NET WITH REGARD TO EXISTING RECALLS AND THE 2015 FOCUS SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED. AS OF THIS WRITING THERE ARE 47 OTHER REPORTS TO NHTSA FOR THIS CAR AND PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT HESITATED AND STARTED TO SHUDDER. PROBLEM WAS THE CLUTCH IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES AND FORD STILL HAS NO FIX FOR THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS ON A SIDE STREET ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT ONTO A BUSY NUMBERED ROADWAY. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A COLLISION.

THE CAR IS SLIPPING WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN CAUSING IT TO STALL AND CREATING WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE 3 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS EXACT ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED A 'PART' ON THE TRANSMISSION WHICH EVIDENTLY ISN'T THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM SEEING THAT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THIS CAR BELONGS TO MY DAUGHTER AND SHE IS ENROLLED IN COLLEGE WHICH 2 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 57,205 MILES ON IT. THE EXTENT OF THIS ISSUE, THE FACT THAT IT COULD RESULT IN AN UNNECESSARY ACCIDENT OR LEAVE HER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OR MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE LEAVES ME VERY CONCERNED FOR HER SAFETY. I WOULD FEEL BETTER AS A PARENT KNOWING THAT MY CHILD WAS IN A SAFE VEHICLE, WHICH I THOUGHT SHE WAS WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR BUT NOW I'M QUESTIONING THIS DECISION.

I PICKED UP MY CAR LAST WEEK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HAVING THE CLUTCH REPLACED. WHEN I LEFT WORK ON MONDAY 7/15, MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT WHILE I WAS ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC. IT WAS OVER 5,000 RPMS...I HAD TO GO ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC TO PULL MY CAR OVER AND WAS HONKED AT SEVERAL TIMES. I WAS ALSO REAR ENDED IN DEC 13, 2016 WHILE ACCELERATING BUT MY CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL.

FORD'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS CONSTANTLY SHUDDERED WHEN STARTING AND SHIFTS IN A JERKING, HESITATING MANNER. FORD REPLACED THE CLUTCH PLATES WHICH PROVIDED MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT. FORD HAS SAID THE WARRANTY ON THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 100,000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR JUST STARTS TO LOSE BREAK FLUID REAL QUICK AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS BEEN OVER HEATING FOR THE PAST COUPLE DAYS AND IT HAS STARTED OFF OF KNOW WHERE. I'VE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND IT HAS BEEN MESSING UP LATELY. IT'S A PRACTALLY BRAND NEW CAR WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE I'VE HAD IT FOR 7 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN GIVING ME A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

CLUTCH REPLACED TWICE THEN CAR QUIT (WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN GAS WAS PUSHED) IN AN INTERSECTION.

CAR JERKS AND SHUTTERS PULLING OUT OR AT A RED LIGHT. IN THE MOUNTAINS IT WOULDN'T EVEN PULL UP A BIG HILL TO THE CABIN. I'D HAVE TO GET A HEAD START AND COULDN'T JUST DRIVE NORMAL, IT WOULD JUST JERK! THIS IS DISTURBING SINCE I WAS ON THE SIDE OF A GIANT HILL! STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. WORKS ON YOUR NERVES! FORD SHOULD BUY BACK THIS CAR! I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE THE FIRST YEAR I GOT THE CAR. EVEN TO THE TENNESSEE LEMON LAW!! THIS HAS SOURED ME ON A FORD VEHICLE! IT'S JUNK!

CAR HESITATES AND DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. TAKE OFFS ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE CAR SHIFTS RADICALLY.

VEHICLES LURCHES AND SHIMMIES WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OF , IN TOWN TRAFFIC , IT WON'T HARDLY PULL ITSELF , SHIMMIES VERY HARD AND MAKE GRINDING NOISES, LURCHES SO HARD I AM AFRAID IT IS GOING TO LURCH IN FROM OF OTHER MOVING TRAFFIC OR LURCH INTO SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME

TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT NEW, TRANS PROBLEMS ( SHUTTERING ) THEY FIXED IT , A YEAR AND A HALF LATER IT IS SHUTTERING AGAIN. I ALSO HAD A 2014 FOCUS ,DID THE SAME THING. FORD KNEW ABOUT THIS BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOR IS A PROTOTYPE MECHANIC IN DEARBORN, AND HE SAID THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED FORDS, NEVER AGAIN, IN FACT I BOUGHT A TOYOTA, AND WHEN I GET RID OF THIS POS, I WILL BUY ANOTHER TOYOTA.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY FORD OWNED USED FOCUS I NOTICED A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH NEEDED REPALCED UNDER WARRANTY BUT PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE I WAITED 6 WEEKS FOR PARTS. THE REPAIRS TOOK ABOUT A WEEK. AFTER ABOUT 3 THOUSAND MILES WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE THE CAR LOST POWER. I DISCOVERED IT WOULD ONLY GO IN 1ST OR SECOND GEAR USING MANUAL SHIFTING. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTALLY GET TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD CLUTCH NEEDED REPLACING. ANOTHER THREE WEEK WAIT ON PARTS. IMMEDIATLY AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK I NOTICED THE SHUDDER WAS BACK. I RETURNED TO MY LOCAL DELER WHERE I WAS TOLD ANOTHER PART IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. IT WAS REPLACED. I DROVE THE CAR ANOTHER 15,000 MILES WHEN THE SHUDDER CAME BACK. AGAIN I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH WOULKD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2,600 BECAUSE IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. I COMPLAINED AND WAS EVENTUALLY CHARGED $1,100 FOR THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. I HAVE OWNED NEARLY 30 FORD VEHICLES IN MY LIFE BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER. I AM PERPLEXED THAT FORD SEEMS OBLIVIOUS TO THE PROBLEMS THIS CAR HAS CAUSED.

THIS VEHICLE STUTTERS UPON ACCELERATION. IT'S FEELS LIKE IT'S BUCKING AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP AND THE PUTTING THE FOOT ON THE GAS IN DRIVE.

FIRST, FROM A FULL STOPPED OR STATIONARY POSITION THEN ACCELERATING OR IN MOTION THE CAR STARTED TO PUTTING OR SLIPPING WITH THIS AUTO TRANSMISSION GEAR OR WAS HAVING A ISSUE SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHILE DRIVING OR HESITATING BADLY, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CHECKED BY AUTO ZONE AND A PERSONAL MECHANIC AND THE HAND HELD DEVICE SHOWED EACH TIME "NO DATA FOUND" HMMM, SECOND, WHILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND PLACING THE CAR IN PARK, I THEN HAD TO PLACE THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE IN THE REVERSE POSITION! BUT AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF IN THE PARK POSITION AND LETTING IT SET FOR 5-10 MINS, THE CAR STARTED AND I PLACED IT IN THE REVERSE POSITION AND IT WORKED HMMM. AND THESE TWO ISSUES HAS HAPPENED TO MANY TIMES (6) FOR ME TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHILE MERGING INTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AND DRIVING IN CITY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC NOW OR AT THIS TIME AND I'AM TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALER TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM TODAY. NOTE: I ONLY HAVE PICTURES OF WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CELL PHONE WITH THE DIFFERENT MILEAGE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.

2015 FORD FOCUS HAS SEVERE SHUDDERING AND HARD SHIFTING AFTER STOPPING. WHEN FIRST MOVING FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND SHIFTS HARD. FORD TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA

A/C SOMETIMES REDUCES TO ALMOST NO AIR AND LITTLE COOLING, DEALER SAYS THE A/C CONDENSOR IS FREEZING INTO A BLOCK OF ICE DUE TO FAILING SENSOR(S), BUT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT STORE A CODE SO THEY WON'T REPLACE ANY SENSORS UNTIL THE A/C FAILS AND I BRING IT IN WHILE IT IS IN FAILURE MODE!!! REALLY CONVENIENT IN THE NO. CAL. SUMMER OF 100 PLUS DEGREE HEAT!!!! THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2017 WITH NO REPAIRS MADE!!!

WHEN PUTTING AUTO TRANS. FROM PARK TO DRIVE, TRANS. DID NOT ENGAGE, PUT IT IN REV. WITH SAME RESULTS, HAD TO PUT BACK IN PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE FOR TRANS. TO ENGAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 4 SEPARATE TIMES.

THE CAR SHUDDERED AND JERKED WHEN STOPPED AND ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. A METAL GRINDING CAN BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DURING THIS JERKING FROM ACCELERATION. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. ONE TIME, THE CAR STALLED, RESULTING IN LOSE OF POWER, WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR MANY TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION OF THESE SYMPTOMS.

I WAS DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING STOPPED ACCELERATING AND REDUCED TO 40 MPH IN SECONDS AS IF SOMEONE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS SAME CAR HAS THE AIR CONDITIONING THAT WENT OUT. I AM TOLD ITS THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHICH IS EXPENSIVE. THE REAR CAMERA IS BROKEN AS WELL FOR NO OBVIOUS REASON. THAT WENT OUT IN THE FIRST YEAR. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THE CAUSE WAS UNKNOWN. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE.

I DROVE TO THE MARKET TO GET SOME FOOD AND WHEN I CAME BACK THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON WE TRIED JUMP STARTING AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WANTED TO START BUT IT DIDN'T.

TAKATA RECALL I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 03-08-19 I NOTICE THE CAR WHEELS, TRANSMISSION SHAKES ITS LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. I THOUGHT MAYBE ITS OUT OF LINIMENT BUT SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. IN MOTION IN CITY AND HIGHWAY, TURNING. I HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER SHIP I SAW THAT THEY ARE SOME RECALL ON THIS CAR. IF SO WHAT NEXT DO I?

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD IT'S CLUTCH COMPLETELY REPLACED 2 TIMES SO FAR. OVER THE YEARS THE CAR HAS FREQUENTLY JERKED FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A BRAKING POSITION, OFTEN TIMES MISSES GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING AND IS ALREADY IN MOTION, AND THE ENTIRE CAR NOTICEABLY SHUDDERS WHILE WAITING AT STOP LIGHTS. THE DEALER TOLD ME FOR YEARS THAT THESE WERE ALL NORMAL CAR OCCURRENCES AND I NEEDED TO ACCELERATE HARDER TO BREAK IN THE CAR. EVENTUALLY, ONE REP RELENTED AND EXPLAINED IT WAS A FAULTY DESIGN WITH NO SOLUTION AND THAT I'D NEED TO COME BACK IN AND HAVE THE CLUTCH REPLACED EVERY 10K MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOW THAT TIME AGAIN AS ALL OF THE SIGNS HAVE MANIFESTED ONCE AGAIN. SADLY, I HAVEN'T EVEN HIT 30K MILES AND A FOURTH CLUTCH IS ALREADY NEEDED.

EXTREME SHAKING WHILE STOPPING AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE, WILL SOMETIMES SUDDENLY START TO MOVE FORWARD AT A STOP WITH BRAKE LIGHTLY APPLIED, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND HAS HAD CLUTCHES IN DPS6 TRANSMISSION REPLACED TWICE, WHILE AT OTHER TIMES DEALER INFORMED REPAIRS WERE NOT IN THE PARAMETERS OF REPAIR

OUR DAUGHTER'S TRUNK ON HER 2015 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK WILL NOT OPEN, THERE IS NO EMERGENCY RELEASE IN THE TRUNK SPACE TO RELEASE THE TRUNK THAT IS REQUIRED BY A 2001 LAW. TOOK THE CAR TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP AND THEY WERE CONFUSED AND TOLD US THEY COULD TRY TO OPEN IT, BUT COULD NOT GIVE US A GUARANTEE. FORD DEALERSHIP TELLS US THERE SHOULD BE AN EMERGENCY RELEASE, THAT WE NEED TO BRING THE CAR IN. WE CAN CLEARLY SEE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR THAT NO SUCH GLOW IN THE DARK PIECE IS THERE. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY SAID IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE OUR VEHICLE HAS THE EMERGENCY RELEASE. I READ THE DESCRIPTION ON THE NTSB WEBSITE ABOUT PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH TRUNKS BEING REQUIRED TO HAVE IT. HOW DO WE PROCEED TO MAKE CERTAIN OUR DAUGHTER'S VEHICLE IS SAFE AND THAT THE TRUNK IS USABLE?

I PURCHASED MY CAR NEW FROM RYAN FORD IN SEALY TX AND IMMEDIATELY STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AND THEY ADJUSTED MY CLUTCH. THAT SAME DAY, THE CAR MADE A LOUD NOISE AND FELT LIKE THE BOTTOM WAS COMING OUT AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE TOLL. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AGAIN AND THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. FAST FORWARD, I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY ASKED ME TO CALL FORD RELATIONS. I TOLD FORD RELATIONS THAT IT WAS JERKING AND HESITATING. SO I TOOK MY CAR TO AUTONATION FORD HERE IN KATY, TX. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE CLUTCH. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO AUTONATION FORD AND EXPLAINED TO THE TRANSMISSION GENTLEMAN THAT MY DAD AND MY BOYFRIEND HAD DRIVEN MY CAR AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE SERVICE MAN DROVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, NOTTINGHAM, AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SO I THEN RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND THE LADY WHO SCHEDULES APPOINTMENTS TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WILL ALWAYS HAVE "SHUTTERING" PROBLEMS NOT MATTER HOW MANY ADJUSTMENTS OR HOW MANY TIMES THEY CHANGE MY CLUTCH. SHE SAID FORD HAS EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO I BELIEVE 60K MILES. MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR WAS A FORD EXPLORER SPORT WHICH I LOVED. I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE PURCHASED 2 FORD EXPLORERS, A F150, A FOCUS (BUT I DID NOT HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM), AND I LEASED A FLEX. MY CAR HAS UNDER 40K MILES AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED THAT THE CAR WILL ALWAYS HAVE A PROBLEM. I FINANCED $25K AND I AM READY TO DROP OFF MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE KEYS! I DO NOT WANT TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO THIS CAR!!!!! I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN. I FILED A CLAIM WITH FORD BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAITED TOO LONG. NOBODY EVER TOLD ME THAT WHAT WAS REALLY GOING ON WITH THE CLUTCH. THEY MADE ME FEEL TO BE A STUPID LADY. I WILL SEND FURTHER DOCUMENTATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR HAS DELAYED QUICK ACCELERATION AND JERKING WHEN GOING FROM A STOP. WILL JERK IN ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. OCCASIONALLY JERKING HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING LOT OR TURNING DOWN A STREET WHEN ON COMING TRAFFIC IS COMING THIS MAKES ME WORRIED BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT IF MY CAR DOES NOT GO WHEN I WANT IT TO GO AND THEN GOES WHEN IT SHOULDN'T GO. I HAVE TO LEAVE A LOT OF TIME SPACE WHEN ACCELERATING IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR 3 YEARS BUT HAS GOTTEN MORE AGGRESSIVE AND HASN'T CHANGED.

MY TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY ANS EVERYONE THAT I KNOW THAT HAS THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF THE TRANS DOESNT SHIFT RIGHT.

CAR SPUTTERS, HESITATES, MAKES CLINKING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING. ENTIRE FRONT END INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND VEHICLE HESTITATES WHEN GIVEN GAS. WHEN STOPPED CAR RANDOMLY IDLES WITHOUT USING GAS PEDAL, EVEN COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AS IF OUT OF GAS REQUIRING CAR TO BE RESTARTED. ENGINE ALSO SHIFTS GEARS LATE IN RPM SEQUENCE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE GAS CYCLINDER WHICH IS THE OPEN RECALL AND THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO PERSIST. PROBLEM HAS PERSISNTED EVERY DAY SINCE DATE SELECTED WHIHC IS WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUDDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TIM DAHLE FORD (LOCATED AT 2534 N 200 E, SPANISH FORK, UT 84660, (801) 798-3553) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V169000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN I TURN ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THE WIPER BLADES SOMETIME STOP, WITH THE BLADES IN A VERTICAL POSITION OR ANOTHER ANGLE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THEY MAY REMAIN IN THAT POSITION FOR A MINUTE OR MORE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND ON HIGHWAYS. TO GET THE WIPERS WORKING AGAIN, I USUALLY HAVE TO TURN THE WIPER CONTROL OFF AND THEN BACK ON. DURING THIS TIME, RAIN IS ACCUMULATING ON THE WINDSHIELD, REDUCING VISIBILITY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I REPORTED THE WIPER PROBLEM TO THE DEALER, BOB THOMAS FORD, 2215 DIXWELL AVENUE, HAMDEN, CONNECTICUT 06514, ON AUGUST 15, 2018, WHEN THE CAR HAD 11,122 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE DEALER DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. RECEIPT FROM THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTION STATED: "REFER TO SSM 45753." REPAIR TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SINCE THAT TIME, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE CONTINUED TO STOP, UNPREDICTABLY, IN A VERTICAL OR OTHER POSITION ON THE WINDSHIELD.

AT AROUND 70,000 MILES I COULD HEAR A SCRATCHING/RUBBING SOUND WHEN I TURNED, AROUND 70,500 I COULD HEAR IT OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. 71,000 MILES THE STEERING RACK AND PINION FAILED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS IN A CORNER AND COULD HAVE DIED.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND A MESSAGE ON THE CLUSTER CLAIMING A ECLECTICALLY STEERING ASSIST MALFUNCTION WHILE I AM DRIVING AT ANY SPEEDS. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NOW THE POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY OUT. MY CARS SUSPENSION IS 100 FACTORY OEM PARTS. WITH NO MODIFICATIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50 MPH THROUGH A CURVE THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT THE CENTER DIVIDER. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR AND IF SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR SHE WOULD HAVE WRECKED. I'M A PRETTY STRONG GUY AND IT TOOK ALL OF MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL. A POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING CAME UP ON THE DASH. I'M TAKING THE CAR IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, BUT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS DUE TO THIS BEING A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

TAKATA RECALL MY CARS TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON AND A MESSAGE CAME UP SAYING TRANSMISSION AT FAULT. ALSO WHEN I WOULD STOP COMPLETELY AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND MAKE A WEIRD NOISE. I'VE BEEN HAVE TROUBLE TURNING IT ON, I WOULD HAVE TO JUMP START IT EVERY NOW AND THEN.

18S32 MANUFACTURER RECALL & 18V735 NHTSA RECALL. THIS RECALL WAS FIRST POSTED APPROXIMATELY 8.5 MONTHS AGO AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT BRINGING IT IN FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I HAVE A CHILD I TRANSPORT IN IT DAILY. I WANT AND NEED THIS RECALL RESOLVED ASAP AS I WILL SOON BE TRANSPORTING ANOTHER YOUNG CHILD. I CAN FEEL IT ACTING FUNNY AS IF SOMETHING ISN'T MOVING PROPERLY OR IT IS STALLING LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING FUEL WHEN I AM MOVING WHETHER IT'S SLOW FAST, SHORT DISTANCE OR LONG DISTANCE AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE FINALLY ACCELERATED AFTER APPLYING STRONG PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BARTOW FORD (9090 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619 (813) 246-3673) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT ONLY PART OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,600.

TOOK MY CAR FOR TCM REPAIR - DEALERSHIP FOUND ANOTHER SENSOR ISSUE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED 4 DAYS LATER TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW AND HILLSIDE ASSIST UNAVAILABLE ERRORS CAME ON. WHEN ACCELORATING FROM A STOP THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING GEARS. CAR IS BACK AT DEALERSHIP BUT THE MECHANICS AND SERVICE DIRECTOR SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH ISSUES. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET(OVER 4971 COMPLAINTS) ABOUT FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT FORD AS HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH, HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE SHUDDER AS THEY SAY IT FALLS OUT OF THE BUILD DATES. THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY RECALLED OR PUT OUT A TSB FOR HE DPS6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, IT SHOULD BE FIXED. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS TRANSMISSION SHUDDER OCCASIONALLY. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME, BUT A LOT OF THE TIME. THIS IS THE SAME THING OTHER PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS PRIOR BUILD DATE. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF, SOMETIMES WHEN IT SHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR. MOST EVERY TIME IT DOES IT YOU CAN BET YOU ARE PULLING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ITS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS I HAD JUST DRIVEN ABOUT 400 MILES. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN NOTICED MORE.

THE PROBLEM IS THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND I DON'T KNOW WHY FORD HASN'T PLACED A RECALL ON THIS. MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

I HAVE PICK UP ISSUES DUE TO RECALLED FUEL CPV. I HAVE TO MAINTAIN ABOVE 1/2 TANK OF GAS OR ELSE THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS BEFORE THE GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN TRANSIT. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO,THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND BACKFIRE DUE TO VAPORS GATHERING AT DANGEROUS LEVELS IN TANK.THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED ME OF THIS RECALL BACK IN JANUARY AND STILL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE TO DO RECALL REPAIR. I UTILIZE MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY MOTHER WHO IS ON OXYGEN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DOING SO BECAUSE OF BACKFIRING,STALLING,ETC ;SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO SPEND TONS OF EXTRA MONEY ARRANGING FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. OVER 6 MONTHS TO MANUFACTURE A REPLACEMENT PART? I WANT THIS PART REPLACED BEFORE A WORSE INCIDENT IS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.

RECALL WITH THE PCM AND TCM ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A ISSUE CONSISTENTLY EVERY SEVERAL MONTHS IT IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING REPAIRED. THE RECALL ONLY COVERS THE VEHICLE TILL 80,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY SINCE IT NEEDS WORK (UNDER RECALL ISSUE) EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN MY CAR HITS 80,000. THE CAR HAS A HARD SHIFT, SOMETIMES WILL NOT REVERSE, SOMETIMES WILL NOT START, SOMETIMES WILL NOT PASS 1ST GEAR.

WE HAVE HAD A REPEATED CODE P090C THAT HAS ULTIMATELY LED US TO THE CLUTCH ACTUATORS WHICH ARE CONTROLLED BY THE TCM. THIS HAS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO OTHER GEARS WHILE DRIVING, PREVENTING THE MOVEMENT OF THE CAR ONCE PARKED/THEN ENGAGED INTO REVERSE STOPS WORKING. WITHIN THE 24 HOUR PERIOD, THE CODES DISAPPEAR THEN THE MECHANICS CANNOT DIAGNOSE OR CONFIRM THE ISSUE??? I PURCHASED MY OWN CODE TESTER AND FIGURED THIS OUT ON MY OWN. NOW, FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE THIS AS A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PART ITSELF FOR THOSE IN THE SAME SITUATION, HOWEVER, FINDING A DEALER THAT WILL MAKE THE REPAIRS WITHOUT THE CODES IN THE CAR, THAT IS THE REAL DIFFICULTY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FLOATING AROUND FOR THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE ON IH 35 IN AUSTIN TEXAS. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE ONCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPAIRED PER THIS RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,598. *TR CONSUMER STATED ON MY OWN ACCORD ,I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED. LESS THAN 60 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC PLACE THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK THE PURGE VALVE, FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP- THE RECALLED ITEM(S). I RETURNED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE INFORMATION AND THE RECALL LETTER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, SAID THEY ALREADY FIXED IT, WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE, NEVER REPLACED ANY PARTS. I RETURNED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH I PAID FOR BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE FORD MECHANIC TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY FOR THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT WOULD COST $150 AND THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH A KAMISHA AND THE CASE NUMBER IS #21947630- 1888 631-3788 X77721 AND HAVE YET TO BE GIVEN ANY REASONABLE SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF ANY WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

ENGINE WAS STALLING WHEN I CAME TO STOPS, CHECK ENGLINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODE WAS FOR EVAP SYSTEM. IT WAS FOUND THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS FAULTY, CAUSING THE ENGINE STALLING. KEEPING THE GAS TANK FILLED ABOVE HALF TANK ALLEVIATES THE PROBLEM. WE REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AS WE CANNOT REPROGRAM THE PCM AND I CANT AFFORD TO LET MY CAR SIT AT FORD FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOK AT IT AND THEN THE EXORBITANT COST TO REPAIR.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE BACK IN DECEMBER 2018 ABOUT A RECALL ON A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH MY CAR'S CPV POSSIBLE STICKING AND STALLING CAR. I FEEL FORD HAS EXCEED A REASONABLE TIME FRAME IN COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. MAKING SURE I HAVE A 1/2 TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR AT ALL TIMES IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION TO ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING, SHOOK, AND THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. LARRY H. MILLER FORD MESA (460 E AUTO CENTER DR, MESA, AZ 85204, (480) 569-7713) STATED THAT THEY DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE ON A COMPUTER AND IT CHECKED OUT WITH NO ISSUES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC PRIOR TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ARRIVED AT HIS DESTINATION AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE "STEERING FAULT, SERVICE IMMEDIATELY" WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED IN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FRANKLIN FORD (LOCATED AT 175 EAST CENTRAL STREET, FRANKLIN, MA 02038) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,276.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FIRST GEAR WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROB SIGHT FORD (13901 WASHINGTON ST, KANSAS CITY, MO 64145, (816) 396-6100) WHERE THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH. AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE DOUBLE CLUTCH SYSTEM AND DID NOT OFFER ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,086.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 18V735 HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED OF SECOND RECALL TO FIX RECEIVED. THE VEHICLE GAS GAUGE IS READING DIFFERENT TO THE VOLUME IN THE GAS TANK AND CHANGES DURING A GIVEN TRIP.WHEN IS THIS RECALL GOING TO BE FIXED??? HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

I WAS DRIVING THE FORD FOCUS (2015) ABOUT 40 M/HR WHEN IT SUDDENLY STALLED AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ACT WEIRD. SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON AND I READ THE CODE AS P090C. I HAD TO CONTROL THE CAR RIGHT AWAY AS IT STALLED. READ A LOT ABOUT THIS CODE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FOCUS, AND THERE IS HIGH SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS REOCCURRING ISSUES EVEN AFTER REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED.

ON YOUR VEHICLE, THE ENGINE MAY STALL DUE TO A STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) WITHIN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM. A STUCK CPV CAN LEAD TO EXCESSIVE VACUUM IN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM, CAUSING THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK TO DEFORM, RESULTING IN AN INACCURATE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE INDICATION, INACCURATE DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE), AND/OR OTHER DRIVABILITY CONCERNS. THE VEHICLE MAY ALSO EXHIBIT AN ILLUMINATED MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL). SAFETY RISK: AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RESTART, CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE ALSO HESITATED WHILE SWITCHING GEARS. THE VEHICLE JUMPED VIOLENTLY AND BEGAN TO FAIL AFTER 20,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LIBERTY FORD VERMILLION (4215 LIBERTY AVE, VERMILION, OH 44089, (440) 967-6191) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TEST STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH, AND OIL CHANGE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE REPAIR FAILED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FOUR TIMES, BUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS SERVICED THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000. *JS *AS*JB

I HAVE HAD A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR AND AS A SINGLE MOTHER, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICING EVERY OTHER DAY. THIS TRANSMISSION IS DANGEROUS. IT SHUTTERS AND JOLTS VERY HARD AND IS CREATING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS FOR ME AND ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN I AM NOTICING THE PROBLEMS. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT WAS MY FAULT AND THAT THE JOLTING AND SHUTTERING IS NORMAL....WHICH IT IS NOT.

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FOCUS SE AND I HAVE MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE. THE TRANSMISSION ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO HAS STARTED SLIPPING. IT SHOWS NO CODES BUT THE POWER IS DECREASED, IT HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN PULLING OUT AND IT STICKS WHEN SHIFTING. I WORK AT A TIRE AND AUTO GARAGE AND HAVE HAD IT LOOKED OVER.

THE TRUNK SUSPENSIONS ARE NOT ADEQUATE AND HAVE ALLOWED THE TRUNK TO CLOSE ON THE OWNERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS NUMEROUS TIMES CAUSING ABRASIONS AND HEMATOMAS. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES WERE NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES, HERE IN KINGMAN, AZ. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, NEW IN EUGENE, OREGON AND THIS PROBLEM WAS EVIDENT. "NO CORRECTIONS ARE AVAILABLE." WHY?

WHEN PUTTING MY 2015 FORD FOCUS IN REVERSE FROM PARK IT WENT FORWARD. I REPEATED THIS ACTION 3 TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY REVERSED! I COULD HAVE GONE DOWN INTO A RAVINE! TOOK THE FORD FOCUS TO RIVERTOWN FORD AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS BUT COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" THE COMPLAINT SO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS FORWARD WHEN PUT IN MOTION AND SHAKES WHEN SLOWING DOWN.

UPON ACCELERATION MY CAR WILL SKIP AND JUMP. I AM TOLD BY A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THE CLUTCH HAS TO BE REPLACED AND STOP AT ANY POINT WHILE DRIVING. I'VE REACHED AND FOUND OUT THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, YEAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.COSTING $1980.00 IN REPAIRS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE , IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.REPAIRS ON SAME TYPE OF CAR ARE BEING DONE WEEKLY 2 TO 3 AT A TIME.

MY VEHICLE SHUTTERS AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN PUSHING ON ACCELERATOR, ESPECIALLY AFTER STOPPING AS AT A STOPLIGHT. FORD HAS REPLACED THE CLUTCH ONCE ALREADY FOR THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM HAS SURFACED AGAIN. NOW, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE RPMS WILL ESCALATE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ALSO THE TRANSITION FROM ONE GEAR TO ANOTHER SEEMS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING OR MISSING, AT ANY SPEED. FORD DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE PRICE IS $1253.00.

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STREERING WHEEL. IT WOULD FLASH A MESSAGE SAYING STEERING ASSIST FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION HAS TO BE REPLACED ON A CAR THAT IS 4 YEARS OLD. IT'S COSTING ME 2,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING FAILED. NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

BOUGHT FORD FOCUS 2015 ON 02/25/2019 AT DRIVE TIME. DURING THE PROCESS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE STALLING BUT THE ISSUE DIDN'T INVOLVE ANY FURTHER ACTION. IT ONLY TOOK ME 3 WEEKS TO START HAVING ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING OR AT STOP LINE WITHOUT ANY CAUTION WARNING. ALSO HAVE ENGINE CAUTION ON THE DASHBOARD ON 04/24/2019.

CAR CONSTANTLY HAS ISSUES STUTTERING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT CAUSES SHAKING IN THE CAR AND ONLY LIGHTLY LESSENS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS OVER HALFWAY FULL AND/OR HAS A RECENT OIL CHANGE. ALREADY HAD A FEW PARTS REPLACED CONCERNING THE CPV BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL CEASED FUNCTIONING WHILST DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I'VE GOTTEN THE RECALL NOTICE LETTER BUT NO FULL SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED YET.

AFTER STALLING, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FRIEND'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,536.

STEERING TIGHTENED UP WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SHE BARELY MANAGED TO PULL INTO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. THEN THIS MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH: STEERING LOSS. STOP SAFELY. COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER. THEY NOTED: FOUND STEERING GEAR BINDING INTERNALLY. REPLACED STEERING GEAR. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $2,109. THE CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS WITH 43K MILES AND SHOULD NOT REQUIRE SUCH A MAJOR REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN THE PART ITSELF. WE WILL NOT BE BUYING ANY MORE FORDS IN THE FUTURE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND FUTURE ISSUES WE ARE GOING TO HAVE WITH IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE JERKED. WHEN THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE JERKING STOPPED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHAWNEE MISSION FORD (11501 SHAWNEE MISSION PKWY, SHAWNEE, KS 66203 (913) 631-0000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

PURCHASED 2015 FORD FOCUS IN AUG 2018 USED, BEEN DRIVING FINE FOR 8 MONTHS; CAR HAS LESS THAT 30,000 MILES. ON 4/10/19, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE DASH INDICATED A STEERING FAULT ASSIST WARNING WHILE STATIONARY IN A LEVEL PARKING RAMP. NO POWER STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN. CALLED COURTESY FORD IN DAVENPORT IOWA ON 4/11/19. SERVICE DEPARTMENT THERE STATED THEY THINK FORD SHOULD RECALL AS HE (GARRETT) HAD THREE FOCUS' WITH SAME ISSUE-ONE WAS IN THE SHOP AT THAT MOMENT TO HAVE THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK REPLACED AT APPROXIMATE COST OF $2,500. THAT IS ONE QUARTER OF WHAT I PAID FOR THE CAR. 4/11/19 & 4/12/19, CALLED COURTESY IN MOLINE ILLINOIS WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, AND NO RESPONSE/CALL BACK. TOOK CAR TO AUTOZONE IN ROCK ISLAND ON 4/11/19 AND THE TECH THERE SAID HE HAS SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE FAULTS AND THINKS A RECALL IS COMING. DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED RECALL 15S18 FOR SAME ISSUE ON FORDS FROM 2011-2014 DUE TO FAULTY POWER CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM. 4/12/19 FILED COMPLAINT CAS17644387 WITH FORD DIRECTLY. INTERNET SEARCH INDICATED THE STEERING ASSIST FAULT HAS OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION-LUCKILY, I WAS PARKED.I HAVE A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THINK, BASED ON THE POINTS NOTED, THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON MY VEHICALE FOR CPAV VALVE. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING ALL SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL, BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME I MIGHT NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE PASSED A TEST A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR ANOTHER ISSUE (THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY). THEY SAY THEY ARE WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM FORD FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTION, BUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS WITH NO RESPONSE.

BEEN WAITING 2 MONTHS FOR FUEL TANK AND OR VALVE TO FIX RECALL. VEHICLE SHUTTERS. NOW I CALL ABOUT THE PARTS COMING IN AND THE SERVICE WRITER (SR) STATES THE FUEL PUMP WILL BE REPLACED AS WELL. I TRIED TO CONFIRM THIS WITH FORD AND THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF FUEL PUMP BEING ADDED TO THE FIX.

MY ENGINE CONSTANTLY STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS NOT ONLY IN LOW RPM USE BUT ALSO WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY. THE STALLING MAKES MY CAR SHAKE AND IT IS MAKING DRIVING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM CONSTANTLY HESITANT TO HAVE MY FAMILY INSIDE OF MY CAR. I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE RECALL TO CONTACT TO FIX THE SOLUTION BUT IT IS TAKING AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. PLEASE EXPEDITE THENHTSA RECALL REGARDING MY CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. BARTOW FORD (2800 US HWY 98 N, BARTOW, FL 33830, (800) 533-0425) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A SLIGHT LEFT TURN FROM CURB SIDE PARKING TO GET ON THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND SINCE I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT TURN TO THE RIGHT I WAS HIT IN THE FRONT BY A CAR COMING FROM BEHIND. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESETARTED. IN ADDITION WHEN THE COPS ARRIVED TO THE SCENE OF COLLISION THEY REQUESTED TO SEE IF THE CAR CAN BE MOVED AND WHEN I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED REVERSED AND THE VEHICLE MOVED BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO COOKS AUTO REBUILD LAKE CITY SEATTLE. THE OFFICER WHO REPORTED TO THE SCENE OF COLLISION ISSUED ME A MOVING VIOLATION TICKET VIA MAIL WITH REASON OF WRONG TURN FROM PARK NOT KNOWING THE REAL STEERING WHEEL MECHANICAL FAILURE. I PAID THE TICKET TO AVOID LATE FEES AND FINES.

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS BEEN HAVING STALLING ISSUES. MY VIN# IS ON THE RECALL LIST AND THE LETTER THAT I RECEIVED FROM 12/2018 ADVISED THAT I KEEP AT LEAST HALF A TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR. HOWEVER, MY CAR STALLS EVEN WHEN I KEEP A FULL TANK. MY CAR ALSO SHUDDERS AND SOMETIMES EVEN TURNS OFF AFTER I FILL MY GAS TANK. WHEN MY CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL, I SEE THAT THE TACHOMETER WILL SUDDENLY FLUCTUATE AND THEN SIMPLY DROP TO ZERO. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M ABOUT TO COME TO A STOP BUT OCCASIONALLY OCCURS WHEN I'M SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. MY CAR NOW STALLS ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE CALLED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 30 DAYS AND TOLD THEM WHAT IS HAPPENING AND HOW UNSAFE IT IS TO DRIVE A CAR IN THIS WAY. EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL ARRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH MY RECALL LETTER SAID BY THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY ALSO STATED THAT MY STALLING ISSUES ARE MOST LIKELY RELATED TO THE RECALL. I NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRY TO MAINLY STICK TO DRIVING ON BACKROADS WHERE POSSIBLE DUE TO FEARS OF STALLING AND POSSIBLY GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT BUT THIS IS A HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE SITUATION FROM FORD. ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY GREATLY APPRECIATED. I PROVIDED THE DATE OF 4/6/19 AS THE DATE OF MY CAR STALLING BUT, AS I STATED EARLIER, THIS HAPPENS DAILY AND IS UNSAFE.

MY CAR STALLS WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY & LET OFF THE GAS & SPEED REDUCES RPMS DROP & CAR STALLS. VERY DANGEROUS. FORD HAS A RECALL ISSUE WITH THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE BUT MY VIN# IS NOT ON THAT LIST FOR SOME REASON. PLEASE HELP IT IS DANGEROUS!!

RACK AND PINION AREA MAKES A LOUD RUBBING NOISE. EVERY TURN TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT HARD TO TURN WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS 0-20 MPH

STEERING WHEEL IS LOUD AND HARD TO STEER. MECHANICS WHO HAVE LOOKED AT IT SAID THE STEERING RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THERE WAS NO REASON A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING RACK.

THE FORD FOCUS RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK DEFORMATION IS NOT ACCURATE. THE RECALL LETTER WE RECEIVED SAID TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST 1/2 TANK OF FUEL, BUT MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT TURNAROUNDS DESPITE HAVING A FULL TANK. THE SOLUTION TO THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED FOR DECEMBER 2018 AND HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019. FORD NEEDS TO BE FURTHER PRESSURED TO FIND A SOLUTION NOW AS THIS POSES A MAJOR CRASH RISK.

CLUTCH IN TRANSMISSION SLIPS. RECALLED ON OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THIS ONE. CAUSES CAR TO NOT TAKE OFF SMOOTHLY, JITTERS BAD ENOUGH TO SHAKE THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AS NORMAL AND PULLED IN TO PARK. I REVERSED AND TRIED TO GO FORWARD BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T BUDGE. I TOOK MY CAR IN ABOUT A MONTH A GO TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT AND I WAS TOLD TO JUST COME IN ON MY NEXT SERVICE AND GET THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS TURNED INTO MY CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD

BROUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW, ENJOYED DRIVING IT BUT THEN A YEAR LATER THE CAR WOULD FEEL LIKE IT WOULD STALL BUT IT WOULDN'T STALL THEN WHEN BRAKING IT WOULD ACCELERATE MORE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT HONOLULU FORD 1370 N. KING STREET HONOLULU, HI 96817 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT ALSO TOLD THEM I GOT A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL AND SHOWED IT TO THEM BUT ALL I GOT WAS "OH YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW"! RECENTLY I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL AND STILL NOTHING. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE AND VERY RUDE.I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS CALL THEM EVERY WEEK AND ASK ABOUT THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRANSMISSION HESITATES TO SHIFT AND SOMETIMES WORKS UN-EXPECTEDLY. TRYING TO MAKE IT GO IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND IT JUMPING INTO ACTION MAKES IT DANGEROUS AS WELL DOUBLE CLUTCH IS NOT CONSISTANT.

MY 18 YR OLD SON WAS DRIVING TO COLLEGE WHEN THE STEERING STIFFENED UP AND MADE HIM SWERVE, ALMOST GOING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AS HE LOST COMPLETE POWER STEERING. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING IS ALL ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED AND THIS A KNOWN ISSUE BY FORD. MY WIFE CALLED AND WAS TOLD BY A FORD REP THAT THEY ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANY REPORTED INCIDENTS. WE PAID FOR A REPLACEMENT PART AND THE ERROR WAS FIXED. JUST YESTERDAY 3/16/19 THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH MY 2YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT. I'M FAMILIAR HOW TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING BUT THIS IS FAR WORSE. THE DASHBOARD SHOWED THE ALERT 'STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY'. THE STEERING WAS COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN FOR A FEW SECONDS. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND STARTING DRIFTING INTO THE RIGHT LANE WITH NO STEERING CONTROL. THERE WAS MEDIUM TRAFFIC SO I WAS CONCERNED I'D HIT A CAR. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PULL THE STEERING WHEEL HARD ENOUGH TO STEER BACK IN MY LANE, HOWEVER ALL STEERING WAS HARD AND MADE ME SWERVE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THE CAR STRAIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I'VE UNCOVERED MANY OTHERS WHO'VE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE AND SOME HAVE GOTTEN INTO WRECKS AND ONE DIED. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? I COULD HAVE LOST MY SON AND NOW ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR WORSE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED IMPROPERLY AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO REV VERY HIGH WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. KING COLONIAL FORD (3565 COMMUNITY RD, BRUNSWICK, GA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
