The contact's husband owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving from a complete stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle started jerking and was moving very slowly. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle with normal acceleration returning after a while. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving from a complete stop and had increased in frequency and intensity. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the transmission clutch needed to be replaced. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V845000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 9,000.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate and shudder while shifting gears without warning. The contact had initially taken the vehicle to the dealer where she had the clutch replaced; however, two years after the repair, the failure returned. The contact had then taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V845000 (Power Train) however, upon speaking to the dealer, the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred her to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

I have had this car since it was new, it has had 3 clutches installed and now needs another one, I am told the car has no extended warranty even with 3 clutches being replaced and dozens of trips to the dealership, the cost of a new one is $2700 and they say it is not covered. I'm wondering how a 2016 with all the trips to the dealership regarding the clutch and 3 clutches being put on this car, the car only having 35,000 miles, why is this not covered under the extended warranty? In my opinion these cars that were manufactured for 10 years KNOWING that they had faulty clutches/transmissions should be covered for the life of the car.

Engine light came on while driving (1/14/2022), drove to a local auto parts store to check the code. Came back with code P1450: Unable to Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum. This is the first instance of this issue in this particular vehicle to my knowledge. While I am fortunate to have avoided safety issues so far, Ford has issued a recall for similar models because "the excessive vacuum may result in an engine stall while driving, without warning and without the ability to restart the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash" (Ford recall #18S32, NHTSA Campaign #18V735000). My vehicle is not included in the current recall, but should be due to the similar issue and therefore a similar safety concern.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission was slipping. The contact was informed by his wife that while driving the vehicle stalled. While adding fuel the vehicle failed to start. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed with the clutch actuator, purge valve canister, and purge valve failure which needed to be repaired or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The contact stated the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V845000 (Power Train). The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

The backup camera is often blank, distorted, or shows "camera not available".

The drive train consistently shudders when starting from a stop and also at low speeds.

I’ve had powertrain issues for going on 4 months now, I brought this vehicle in for repair soon as it started acting up. The clutch would slip and it didn’t want to shift. It would jerk really hard if it did. And the rpm’s would red bar and would get stuck in gear. I brought it into the shop and 2,500$ later they said it was fixed. 2 days later same issues, only worse.. now it wouldn’t even reverse and was making extremely weird noises even while the car wasn’t started or had the key in. You could literally just open the door and it would make weird clicking noises for minutes straight. Another 400$ later they said it was fixed for sure this time. 3 days later the car didn’t even want to start. And when it did it still wouldn’t reverse. I drove it home from work and it started to smell awful. Not sure what it was. While driving I heard a loud noise as if I had hit a brick wall… and my car jerked so hard I almost hit my head on the steering wheel. The transmission light comes on and I got stuck in the middle of an intersection and my car just shut off. I turned it back on and had to gas it to get onto the side of the road and I could only reach about 25mph max. Mileage is only 84K. 2016. I don’t understand why this powertrain is giving me so many problems and is becoming a huge safety issue for me, as well others. Ford says there is no recall on it even though this has happend to so many others. I don’t understand

The powertrain continues to have issues on my ford focus, specifically the transmission clutch continues to fail this occurred on 12-10-21 and previously had same issue with the clutch on 3-21-19 at 56, 949 mileage. Vehicle is available for inspection , my safety was put at risk because i was driving on freeway/expressway with cars going 65 mph and the vehicle clutch stalled and would not move forward in the middle of roadway endangering my safety in middle of freeway. The vehicle has been inspected twice by the same Ford Dealership. There were no warning lamps before my safety incident until after the fact where the check engine light appears. For these clutch issues ford says my vin does not qualify yet all these fords have the same issue and ford says im not eligible because my VIN which is ridiculous since they have even extended warranty repairs for 10 years or 100,000. I have attached my work repairs that document this same clutch ford issue.

Driving on the highway with cruise control on at about 60MPH, with no warning, engine revved to a high RPM with a near total loss of power. Message on the dashboard said to have the Transmission serviced. Car was brought to the dealer where they diagnosed that the Transmission Control Module needed to be replaced, and also the clutch needed to be replaced. Invoice attached. There is a Ford Customer Satisfaction Program associated with this problem that includes Focuses manufactured up to November 5, 1995. When they checked my car's VIN, they said it was not covered because my car was manufactured on November 11th 1995. This CSP is also attached. I believe that the actual number of vehicles affected is more than they have indicated in the CSP and that mine is also affected because it exhibited the same problem and was manufactured within 6 days of the cutoff. This is a dangerous situation that could have resulted in an accident. Luckily the highway was not very busy when it occured.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while his wife was driving approximately 25-30 MPH, between first and second gear, the vehicle started shuddering inadvertently. The contact stated that the failure had been occurring since purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the dual-clutch transmission needed to be replaced and that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V845000 (Power Train). The dealer also advised the contact that he would be responsible for the cost of the repair because the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 6.

The contact’s girlfriend’s daughter owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated while his girlfriend’s daughter was driving 65 MPH, she either drove over a pothole or a rock on the roadway and the vehicle started jerking. The driver veered to the side of the roadway to inspect the vehicle and noticed damage to the front driver’s side bumper that was detached from the subframe. The contact stated that the hood release hinges on the driver’s and passenger’s side of the vehicle fractured causing the hood to inadvertently, smashing into the windshield shattering the windshield. The driver called the contact to the scene for assistance. The contact was able to secure the hood with bungee cords for the driver to drive the vehicle to the residence. The following day the vehicle was towed to a body shop to be inspected. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Wed. 12/1/2021. Driving about 45 MPH suddenly when pressing on the gas pedal to accelerate there was no response it would just rev like it was in neutral. Then a warning light came on stating that the transmission was overheated and to pull over as soon as possible. At this point I am stuck in the middle of traffic and the accelerator would not respond because the transmission seems to be stuck in neutral not in gear so I could not control the speed of the car. I was able to coast over to the side of the road. I had to wait for about 15 minutes for the transmission to cool down and tried again. The same thing occurred about 15 minutes later. I was able to get off the road to a mechanic. The mechanic stated that the transmission was bad and needed to be replaced. This transmission only has 22,150 miles on it, the car was not driven that much. There is no way a transmission should go bad with such low miles. This seems to be a widespread issue from what I see online several other people with the same issue. Ford does not want to admit they have faulty equipment but the transmission problem is a safety issue. I almost lost control of the car. Thanks.

When driving on a residential street, the wheel snapped and a truck parked in the neighborhood was almost hit (scraped the rim of the truck). Luckily, the incident did not happen once I got onto a faster road.

Oil pump failure 2 times in a role within 75,000 miles. Had to have a brand new engine replacement each time.

The car would shake and jump when starting from a stop or going up hills , also feels like it’s slipping when shifting gears will not shift when going up large hills or when on Highway and passing if it needed to change gears it would slip.I called Ford dealer told them same info they said my car is not under recall , well it needed to be , I took the car to trans shop he pulled a code of Transmission Friction element a stuck on. (Tans needs repair most likely clutches,He said take it to ford , I called ford they were backed up months in advance,and acted like they had never heard of this .I called Ford Motor company told them about issue , same response never heard of it and no recalls . Took the vehicle back to dealer I purchased it from and traded it for a different brand car , just wanted you to know Ford that’s wrong! I panicked and took the car to be traded in.I hope they don’t try to sell that car like that , I was not about to let my child drive that car one more day so I took it to the thieves that sold it to me and gifted it back to them.if you have a 2016 Ford Focus and it gets 80k miles like mine was your just screwed!Ford needs to fix these cars I’ll never trust Ford again.

I have been having nothing but problems with my Ford Focus transmission. And it’s 2016. I’ve only had it for about 4 years and it’s not working again. Ford said it was the clutch.

I believe it was the fuel system that failed. The safety of myself, my child, and other drivers was at risk. The Ford dealer I spoke to said my vehichle is not affected by the recall that causes this issue (18S32). The auto center I took the car to could not reproduce the incident. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance. The check engine light was on at the time of the incident. I was at a stop at an intersection. When I was ready to proceed, I pressed the accelerator and the engine died. Pressing the gas did nothing. I was partially through the intersection where cross traffic does not stop when this happened. I turned the car off and back on and was able to get the car moving. This happened twice that night. The auto shop checked for error codes and found the following: P1450 No DTC definition found, P2195 O2 sensor signal biased, and P0507 Idle air control system revolutions per minute higher than expected. The auto center suggested I take the car back to the dealer for inspection as they can not diagnose. I fear for my family's safety while driving. I feel this problem is caused by the excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system (Recall 18S32).

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered upon the depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact has had the dual-clutch transmission replaced five times under warranty; however, after each repair, the failure would return. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

UNKNOWN, The car stalls and the engine misfires. The check engine light comes on after that. While driving, the car suddenly stalls without warning. This has happen on multiple occasions.

While driving my 2016 Ford Focus, the electric power steering suddenly failed. Instantly, it became extremely difficult to steer and fortunately, I was able to get the car off the road without causing an accident. A “steering assist fault” appeared on the information screen as well. This car has only 24300 miles on it. I firmly believe this is a serious safety issue and a recall is in order.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the vehicle shut off with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer where they diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. The contact had the engine replaced. A year later as her son was driving 65 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact's son added antifreeze to the reservoir and drove the vehicle home. Once the vehicle was home, the vehicle would not restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with engine failure for a second time. The contact called the dealer and was informed that the engine would be covered under warranty. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.

The Check Engine Light came on and did not go off. The Auto Parts store ran a scan and three (3) codes, all of which were the same displayed as P1450. The Error Code deals with the Canister Purge Valve (CPV) malfunction and causing excessive vaccuum in the fuel tank. My car cuts off and stalls when I fuel up. It is becoming harder to start at times. The stalling concerns me because I do not want to be in traffic and it stalls out. I see there has been a Recall on other Ford Focus vehicles, but unfortunately mine was not included. Please investigate so that I nor any other drive may be left unsafe and have to pay out of pocket during these difficult times, when a Recall can cover the issues for free.

The car would not accelerate in the middle of driving on the highway. Just revs over 5000 rpm's. I took it to a transmission shop and they said it was the clutch which was going to be $3,000 to fix. My husband and my children have to experience the whiplash it gives you from the hard shifting. Also have to push it backward in neutral just to go anywhere because it has no reverse most of the time. There is a warning message on the dash that says transmission overheating wait 5 minutes and the check engine light is always on.

PLEASE HELP. Thank you

I have never had a problem with this car. It was running fine and just shut off completely driving on the freeway. It was jump started to restart. No check engine lights and temperature was good. I had the battery and alternator tested and they were good. It happened several times trying to get home. It would start right up after sitting for about 10 min. The left hazards are the only ones that work when this happens, nothing on the right side.

A stuck CPV is leading 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 also is exhibiting an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0420, P1450, P0443, P0452, P0456, P0460 and/or P2196

The upper management of Ford at the time should be ashamed of themselves for seriously damaging the reliability reputation of the Ford Focus between the model years of particularly 2012 to 2016 by introducing into the setup a dry dual clutch transmission that they did not already have a quality backup plan to just in case the complaints started piling up about the supposed manual feel of the transmission. The drive-ability of the 2016 Ford Focus SE HB I make payments on is at best a D level experience. I, too, am plagued by the regular occurrence of the shuddering between the 1st and 2nd gear along with the spiking RPMs that follow immediately after when the shuddering transpires. It seems almost as if the 2nd gear is coming in on the 1st a little too soon, which would factor in an obvious failed effort on transmission calibration. In general, the shifting performance is unnerving and quite embarrassing when you have passengers. If you are like me and have one of these vehicles with this transmission type, good luck on getting a true fix in this Power-Shift setup. It is possible to improve the driving conditions with third party tuning if your strategy will pair with the tuning device (another issue of discussion for Ford); otherwise, one needs a complete, conventional transmission installed in hopes of getting rid of this issue in its entirety if an automatic transmission is your preferred preference. In summary, the Ford Focus SE I have is the 2.0. liter, and it appears that Ford has discreetly excluded this liter from the recall, warranty work in general. In other words, you will likely have an incredible hard time getting a Ford dealership to acknowledge the problem or replace your clutches unless you pay for it. To fully remedy this situation, Ford should be required to buyback all of these poorly calibrated transmission cars from current owners and those still for sale on the American market.

I'm the very last owner of this car/vin. It is black ford focus 2016 SE. I had purchased this vehicle on November 23rd, 2020. I didn't have the car for a whole year. just recently the car(SAT July 3rd,2021)transmission light came on after I got an oil change. next day the car started to jerk as you accelerate, That same day the transmission started to over heat. Now mind you the dashboard informed me about it, but also says to pull over for exactly 5 mins for to cool down. I had to travel across town to get home, mind you it takes 15 to 20 mins, it literally took me 45 to get home. Since Day one I've kept up with my car. Even my mechanic (who also work at Koons Ford) told me this would be on going problem and get rid of it. I tried to search for other options as well. I only work from this car and go home.

Defective transmission

a dealer repaired my transmission under warranty. several months ago, first was slipping again. i called to schedule an appointment in March of 2021. Due to COVID, they stated and shows clearly on their website to date, they could not get my vehicle in until July. At the July appintment, the Clutch assembly needs to be replaced. the warranty expired one month previous, and it is now 1,500 miles over warranty. i believe they should repair the vehicle. it is not the first time for this issue on these vehicles

On at least 5 previous instances (3 instances in which the vehicle was taken to and checked by my local Ford Dealership), the vehicles automatic transmission would cease to shift into or out of a gear(s) suddenly during normal driving operations. This would lead to rapid declaration, often times in moderate or greater traffic causing hazardous conditions to both myself and passengers and/or other vehicles and their passengers. The hazard was of possible collision as the vehicle did not perform at the speed of traffic. Additional hazard and safety issue, was during these events, the vehicle would enter a "neutral" gear position and although the accelerator was depressed, their was NO torque to the drive train, this would also either decelerate the vehicle rapidly or in the event of cornering, increase the speed instantly during the cornering turn (because of the lack of downshift torque to the drive train)...on one instance I was unable to control the turn speed quickly enough and the vehicle entered the shoulder of the turn before I was able to regain positive control of the vehicle. Although Ford has a Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) extending the warranties for the transmission clutch and TCM, it appears that Ford Service Dealers are extremely hesitant to perform the warranty service. To that end, I have taken my vehicle to local Ford dealer with the transmission shudder conditions complaint, and each time they claim their diagnostics were not able to replicate my issue. All these service appts were while vehicle was under the warranty in miles and months. Then, this last week the vehicle had the same instances happen while on the freeway (all previous episodes had been on surface city streets), and it was a very dangerous situation with at least 2 vehicles taking evasive action to avoid rear-ending my vehicle as it decelerated rapidly. I pulled over and vehicle was towed to Ford service, where they say the clutch is worn, as is the TCM.

Engine light on. Fuel Tank Deformed, defective canister purge valve. Ford doesn’t want to do the service for safety recall 18S32. Ford dealership did not inspected the parts associated for safety recall 18S32 in February 2019 and noted that our vehicle is not part of the recall. Engine light when on June 2021 related to safety recall 18S32 but Ford will not fix it.

Engine light on. Fuel tank deformation again after safety recall done in February 2019. 18S32. I do not know if the dealership really fixed it properly the first time, or that Ford made a very defective vehicle that should not have been released in the market. Ford doesn’t cover recurrence of the same safety recall.

There is two recalls on my ford focus. The clutch and the transmission. Town and country ford have fixed the clutch 4 times and it stills continues to break. The transmission recall they told me they cannot fix but it is affecting my driving as my car stalls and shudders and cannot drive past 45 mph. They refuse to put me into a rental and they tell me there is nothing they can do to fix it. If this problem does not get fixed it will continue to get worse and eventually cause other problems.

The clutches in the transmission are shot and nearly fused and the car will need a new transmission as there are no other solutions to remedy the problem after 2 days of diagnostics. I purchased this vehicle from a major dealership used and assured it was mechanically cleared by Service department. According to code reader at transmission shop, it has been throwing codes for a while and was cleared by dealership. I have owned this vehicle for 60 days and paid cash for it. transmission mechanic says this problem has been going on for a while. I am currently starting litigation proceedings with the dealership but upon more investigating, this issue is a KNOWN issue with the 2016 Ford Focus so I am not sure WHY the VIN is saying no recalls.

The failure mileage was 43,720.

My car idles up high often and the car will speed up on it's own. When at a complete stop it struggles to stay on. Sometimes it will cut off. It has shut off while driving as well. It jerks when taking off from a complete stop. After putting gas in the car it will not start immediately. I have to pump the gas pedal for a few seconds. It eventually starts. At Autozone I had a code test ran on it and it suggested EVAP system needed replacing. So, I took it to have it fixed. Precision Tune ran an additional test on my car, but there were no errors. They even checked for any recalls or repair issues posted online, but my car was not listed. They suggested I call the manufacturer. It still does it. I can also hear a scrubbing sound while backing up, but my brake pads are good. The brake light continues to pop on saying I need brake fluid. I had that checked and I do not need brake fluid. The engine light stays on. I get my car tuned on a regular basis. I've only had it for a soon to be year in June 2021. Also, there are times when the gas fumes are strong inside of the car while driving. I want to go on trips but i'm afraid it will shut off in the middle of the interstate.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated while driving 15 mph, the gear shifter would not shift into second gear from first gear.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 71,000.

THE REAR QUARTER GLASS SEALS HAVE BOTH STARTED LEAKING WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. WATER ENTERS THROUGH THE SEAL LEAK AND ENTERS THE HATCH AND UNDER REAR SEATS. I HAVE VERIFIED THIS IS THE LEAK BY SPRAYING A WATER HOSE ON THE OUTSIDE AND WATCHING IT LEAK PRETTY HEAVILY IN THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE STARTED ALL OF THE SUDDEN TO MAKE SOME NOISES AFTER THE ENGINE IS OFF AND THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TURNING ON ON THEIR OWN.WE WERE TOLD THE BATTERY IS LOW , WHICH WE REPLACED BUT THE VEHICLE STILL DOES THE SAME.VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN WE FIRST NOTICED.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS OR THE HIGHWAY, MY VEHICLE HAS ERRATIC SHIFTING, EVEN BARELY MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. WHEN ACCELERATING SLOWLY AFTER BEING AT A RED LIGHT, THE DRIVER CAN LIGHTLY TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL AND THE FORD WILL SHIFT GEARS AND FEEL AS THOUGH THE BACK TIRES ARE JUMPING OR SPINNING OUT.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD FOCUS. 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE I TOOK IT TO SERVICE FOR SHAKING ON ACCELERATING AND DEACCELERATING. I WAS TOLD BROKEN SWAY BAR LINKS. AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT'S NORMAL FOR THE POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION AND I WAS NOT USED TO IT. IN MARCH 2019 MY TRANSMISSION DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND A TRANSMISSION FAILURE MESSAGE WAS SHOWN. I TOOK MY CAR TO SERVICE. THEY REPLACED SENSOR AND I WENT TO GET IT. IT FAILED IN 5 FEET. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY REPLACED A SECOND SENSOR. IT FAILED BEFORE I ARRIVED HOME. THIS HAS GONE BACK AND FORTH 8 TIMES. BECAUSE MY STAYING HOME WITH COVID I ONLY PUT 700 MILES ON MY CAR BETWEEN APRIL AND NOVEMBER. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE THEN EXCEPT ONE DAY. I GOT 10 MINUTES FROM HOME THAT NIGHT AND RETURNED IT THE NEXT DAY. THEY ARE STAYING THAT IT'S UNRELATED TO THE KNOWN ISSUES WITH POWERSHIFT. BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED. THEY'VE REPLACED ALL 3 SENSORS TWICE. AND NOW THERE'S WATER IN MY TRANSMISSION FLUID. ONCE BEFORE I MADE IT HOME AND AGAIN THE DAY I RETURNED IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS BECAUSE I HAD LEAVES UNDER MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES THAT DIVERTED WATER FROM THE WINDSHIELD INTO THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO I SAW IN AN ARTICLE THAT IT WAS STATED BY A NHTSA SPOKESPERSON THAT FORD WAS FIXING THESE ISSUES AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY. I'VE BEEN TOLD I HAVE THE WRONG TRANSMISSION. BUT I HAVE A DSP6 POWERSHIFT. THE SERVICE CENTER REFERS ME TO THE CUSTOMER CARE. CUSTOMER CARES STATES THAT THEY ONLY TAKE INFORMATION AND CAN'T HELP OR GIVE INFORMATION. THEY DIRECTED ME TO THE LAWSUIT HOTLINE. THEY DON'T HANDLE WARRANTY. FORD GIVES YOU NO WAY TO SPEAK TO ANYONE THAT CAN EXPLAIN WHY MY CAR IS NOT EXTENDED. THEY REFUSE TO LOOK FOR THE SOURCE OF THE WATER AND HAVE REPLACED SENSORS REPEATEDLY ALTHOUGH THAT HASN'T WORKED YET. MY WARRANTY ENDS SOON AND THEY SAID IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT BY THEN I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR COST

MY VEHICLE'S MAKE/MODEL/YEAR (2016 FORD FOCUS) HAS A REPORTED RECALL FOR A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVING THE POWERSHIFT DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. ONLINE, IT STATES THAT MODEL YEARS 2012-2016 FORD FOCUS VEHICLES HAVE THIS ISSUE. THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION IS CONSIDERED A MANUAL TRANSMISSION THAT IS CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY BY A COMPUTER WHILE USING A DRY CLUTCH RATHER THAN A WET ONE, MEANING OIL IS NOT SUPPLIED TO THE SHIFTING MECHANISM AND CAN RESULT IN INCREASED WEAR AND TEAR THE LONGER THE ISSUE PERSISTS. WHEN THE COMPUTER MODULE THAT OPERATES THE TRANSMISSION CAN'T HANDLE RAPID ACCELERATION OR SPEED SHIFTING, THE VEHICLE WILL SPUTTER AND MAKE AN AUDIBLE NOISE. OTHER ISSUES THAT CAN BE CAUSED ARE PROBLEMS WITH DOWNSHIFTING, LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN A HIGHER GEAR DESPITE DECELERATION AND CAUSE IT TO "LURCH". THE MAIN SAFETY HAZARD THIS ISSUE CAUSES IS WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY INTO AN INTERSECTION, THE DELAY PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM REACHING THE SAME SPEED A VEHICLE SHOULD ACHIEVE WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IN TERMS OF DECELERATION, THE CAR'S INABILITY TO CORRECTLY DOWNSHIFT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD, DESPITE THE BRAKES BEING APPLIED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH. TOOK THE CAR TO SAYVILLE GIANT FORD ON 1/6/21 FOR REPAIR UNDER RECALL #18532. I WAS TOLD THE CAR PASSED INSPECTION AND THE REPAIR WAS NOT MADE. TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND INFORMED THAT IT IS A VALVE CAUSING A VAPOR ISSUE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM.

MOTOR MOUNT & TRANSMISSION. WHEN CRANKING CAR THE RPM VERVES TO 300-400 RPMS AND STAYS UNTIL YOU PICK THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN ACCELERATING THE GAS THE CAR JERKS BEFORE TAKING OFF TO CHANGE GEARS.

MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WITHOUT GIVING ME WARNING MESSAGES FIRST, THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK 01/07/21. IT'S READING "STEERING LOSS".

BACK IN MARCH 2020 I BEGIN TO HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES SO I TOOK MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WITH THAT BEING SAID THE MECHANIC PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THEY HAD TO REBUILD A CLUTCH IN MY TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE COST OF THE FIX WAS GOING TO BE $2600 I BEGAN TO TELL THE MECHANIC THAT I DID NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF MONEY AND THAT I WILL COME GET MY VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY BECAUSE I WAS AT WORK SO THE NEXT DAY WHILE I WAS AT WORK I GET A PHONE CALL FROM THE MECHANIC AT THAT FORD DEALERSHIP AND HE TELLS ME THAT MY CAR IS READY TO BE PICKED UP AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS FIXED I BEGAN TO REPEAT MYSELF TO THE MECHANIC THAT I DID NOT WANT TO PROCEED WITH THE SIX OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY I ALSO STRESS THIS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR FOR THREE WEEKS AT THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY AND HAD TO STRUGGLE TO FIND THE MONEY TO GET MY VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE THE FIX WAS ALREADY DONE AND AFTER I CAME UP WITH THE MONEY TO DAYS LATER I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION FAULT ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE SO IS THERE ANYWAY FOR IT CAN REIMBURSE ME BACK MY MONEY OR FIX MY CAR FREE OF CHARGE BECAUSE I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE

CAR STARTED TRYING TO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AND ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED, THEN CAR WOULDN'T START WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH WAS STUCK SOUNDS LIKE A RECALL I SAW ONLINE.

THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS NO REVERSE AND WHEN IT FINALLY DID GO INTO DRIVE ONLY 11 MPH

A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE CLUTCH IS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND YET DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ALL OF THE TRANSMISSIONS AFFECTED, ONLY SOME. IT'S A $1500-$2000 REPAIR AND IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY MACHINERY.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY, PUTTING ME AT RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED. I TOOK MY FORD FOCUS IN TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CLUTCH HAD FAILED, BUT THAT IT ALSO HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED JUST 2.5 YEARS PRIOR. MY CAR IS A 2016 WITH UNDER 70,000 MILES. I WAS INFORMED OF A LAWSUIT INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION IN THE FORD FOCUS FOR THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT WAS THEN ADVISED THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE SETTLEMENT AND REPLACEMENT. I HAVE KEPT UP ON REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND VEHICLE MAINTENANCE. THE CLUTCH SHOULD NOT FAIL TWICE WITHIN 3 YEARS.

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING A STUCK CANUSTER PURGE VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. AT THE TIME, (MARCH 2020) THEY USED ONE OF THEIR DEVICES TO DETECT PRESSURE AND NO CODES CAME UP WITH A DETECTION SO THEY DID NOT FIX THE VALVE AND CLOSED MY RECALL. IT IS NOW ONLY 9 MONTHS LATER AND THE SAME VALVE THAT WAS RECALLED IS FAULTY AND HAS CRUSHED MY FUEL TANK AND DEFORMED MY PUMP. THEY HOWEVER, ARE REFUSING TO REOPEN THE RECALL AND FIX THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT IS A VERY SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. MY FUEL TANK COULD COMBUST AT ANY TIME BECAUSE IT ISNT ABLE TO RELEASE PRESSURE PROPERLY AND THIS ALL DUE TO THEIR FAULTY VALVE INVOLVED IN RECALL #: 18V735000 IS THERE ANYTHING YOU GUYS CAN DO ON YOUR WND TO HELP ME FIGHT THIS?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO CORRECTLY SHIFT BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, CAUSING THE RPMS TO INCREASE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY RESPOND WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER PRESTON FORD LOCATED AT 1300 E STATE ST, SHARON, PA 16146, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET AND THE CAR STALLED ON THE ROAD AND I HAD TO COAST ONTO A SAFE SPOT.THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON FOR OVER AN HOUR THEN IT STALLED ONCE MORE AND WOULD NOT TURN ON. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. WE CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM.

FOR OVER A YEAR OR SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CAR SHUTTING OFF WHEN I'M LOW ON GAS. IT HAS STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, STRANDED ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REFUSED TO START AT SERVICE STATIONS WHEN I'VE STOPPED TO GET GAS. I TOOK MY CAR TO JOE MYERS FORD IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, 2019 BUT I COULDN'T LEAVE IT WHEN I PULLED AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP IT STOPPED ON THE FEEDER STREET OF THE FRWY. AND WOULD NOT START. I WAS STRANDED THERE FOR OVER 2 HOURS BEFORE THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. A FEW DAYS LATER I HAD IT TOWED TO JOE MYERS FORD. THEY COULDN'T GET TO IT FOR A MONTH OR LONGER SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOME. LATER IT WAS TOWED FROM MY HOME TO STERLING MCCALL FORD. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT STILL WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF. WHILE I'M DRIVING IT STARTS TO SPUTTER THEN CUT OFF BUT IT WON'T START FOR AWHILE AFTER THAT. THIS IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IT IS STILL HAPPENING OFF AND ON NOW FOR OVER A YEAR. I HAVE A 2 YEAR CHILD AND I AM REALLY AFRAID FOR OUR LIVES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO JUST SHUT OFF OR NOT START AND IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY CHILD. WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IT WAS NEW WITH 17 MILES ON IT IN FEBRUARY, 2017 BUT I AM SO AFRAID OF DRIVING IT. STERLING MCCALL CHECKED THE CAR OUT FOR ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT IT STILL CUTS OFF. PLEASE HELP ME.

THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER HALF A TANK PF FUEL AND BEGAM TO SPUTTER AND JOLT AMD DIES. IT STARTED BUT CRANKED LONG AND HARD. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER THE FUEL IS AT HALF OR BELOW. I SEARCHED MY VIN IT SAYS THE FUEL RSCALL ISN'T A ISSUE BIT ITS DOING EXACTLY THAT.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND STALLS WHEN INCREASING SPEEDS OR DOESNT SHIFT AT ALL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PULL OFF DO TO IT STALLED OUT 4 TIMES NOTE THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND IT SLIPS AND STALLS OR DOESNT SHIFT AT ALL. WHEN THIS STARTED IT WAS AT 14000 MILES AND NOW ITS AT 16568 MILES AND ITS NOW STALLING.

MANUFACTURER RECALL #18S32 NHTSA RECALL #18V735 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I WAS PROBABLY ABOUT A MILE AND HALF AWAY FROM MY WORK. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND PREPARE TO STOP. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE DISPLAY SHOWS "NOT IN DRIVE" WHEN IT OBVIOUSLY WAS OR I WOULDN'T BE MOVING... NEXT THING, LIGHTS/ELECTRONICS WERE FLICKERING AND CAR JUST TURNED OFF IN DRIVE. WHAT WAS REALLY SCARY AND ALMOST COSTED ME MY LIFE WAS MY HAZARDS WERE NOT DISPLAYING TO SURROUNDING DRIVERS THERE WERE A FEW TIMES WHEN I GOT YELLED OR HONKED AT BUT 1 OR 2 TIMES I ALMOST GOT RAN OVER.... AFTER MY FRIEND CAME TO HELP ME PUSH IT OUT OF ROAD, HE GOT IT IN PARK, RESTARTED AND GOT CAR STARTING AGAIN.... WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR FAMILY MECHANIC AND HE TOOK A LOOK AT IT. HE WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME A LOT FOR THE PART NEEDED TO GET FIXED. WHICH BROUGHT ME TO GO SEE IF I CAN FIND A PART FOR CHEAPER OR A MECHANIC FOR CHEAPER. THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED ABOUT THIS VIN AND CAR RECALL.

CAR WAS HESITANT TO GO AND SKIPPING AND MAKES AWFUL NOISE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEN ON HIGHWAY ROAD NOISE. DEALER REPLACED CLUTCH AND SEALS AND DID A TRANSMISSION SERVICE. NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE AWFUL ROAD NOISE

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ROUGHLY 80 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ENGINE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. ENGINE STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE. CAR WILL STILL START BUT IS NOT DRIVABLE AND ENGINE HAS NO OIL PRESSURE AND MECHANIC SAID IT DOWNSHIFTED TO 4TH GEAR AT 83 MPH. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY AND HAS GIVEN NO INDICATION OF ENGINE PROBLEMS. WAS QUOTED $4500 AT FIRST FORD DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR CAR WITH A USED MOTOR WITH EQUAL MILEAGE. 2ND FORD DEALERSHIP QUOTED $3700 WITH REBUILT MOTOR. HAS BEEN LOOKED OVER BY 2 MECHANICS INCLUDING FORDS AND OTHER THAN READING DIAGNOSTICS NOBODY CAN PROVIDE A REASON THE OIL PRESSURE DROPPED OR WHY THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED INTO 4TH GEAR UPING THE RPM'S CAUSING ENGINE PROBLEMS. THEY SAID THERE IS NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AT THIS POINT OTHER THAN THE ENGINE. VERY NO SMART TO REPLACE AN ENGINE WITHOUT KNOWING THE WHAT CAUSED THE INITIAL ONE TO FAIL.

MY CAR CONTINUALLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, FORD ACKNOWLEDGES THE RECALL BUT REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE CLAIMING THE PART ISN'T READY. THE CAR WILL TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY, OR AT A LIGHT WITH NO WARNING. FORD IS TELLING US THAT THEY CAN'T HELP US BUT IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE OUR CAR AND NOBODY HAS HELPED US. THIS STARTED IN AUGUST AND CONTINUES TO NEARLY DAILY

THE CAR IS JUMPING A LOT.

VEHICLE SPUTTERS ON TAKE OFF FROM STOP OR A SLOW DOWN BACK TO TAKE OFF. HAS HAD TRANSMISSION CLUTCH REPLACED AS WELL AS SPARK PLUGS, FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR. FORD SAYS IT'S HOW THEIR TRANSMISSIONS WORK BUT IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE MANY WRECKS. NOW THAT I AM PAST THEIR 'WARRANTY' PERIOD THEY WON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME EVEN WITH THE SAME ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR.

WHEN WE RECEIVE HEAVY RAIN THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY SUNROOF AND THE PASSENGER PLASTIC ROOF TRIM ARE LEAKING MAJOR AMOUNTS OF WATER INTO MY CAR. I HAD A PUDDLE ABOUT 3 INCHES DEEP IN MY FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR AND A PUDDLE OF WATER IN THE REAR PASSENGER FLOOR BOARDS AS WELL. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE IT'S CLEAR NUMEROUS FORD FOCUS OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO FIX FROM FORD. I WAS TOLD TO KEEP IT IN A COVERED AREA WHICH I DO NOT HAVE.

CAR WILL NOT START AFTER FUELING. CAR SHAKES AND SHUTTERS AND TAKES MULTIPLE CRANKING ATTEMPTS TO START CAR. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FUELING. IT ALSO DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE TANK IS ALMOST EMPTY, HALF-WAY FULL, OR 3/4 FULL. THE SAME THING OCCURS EVERYTIME. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED MY SOFTWARE PER THE RECALL. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100 JUST TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT STARTED AFTER THEY UPDATED MY SOFTWARE.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A HEAVY SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING. IT WILL ALSO JUMP FORWARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS. NEVER RECEIVED UPDATES, RECALL OR SAFETY NOTICES FROM FORD. CALLED DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WAS TOLD IT'S HOW THE CAR DRIVES. TIME GOES ON AND THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE. I BRING IT INTO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME MY CLUTCH IS CHANGING AT 500RPM AS OPPOSED TO 250 RPM. MY MILEAGE WAS 60,200 WHEN I ARRIVED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS COST EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM STARTED WELL BEFORE THE WARRANTY. ESTIMATED REPAIR IS $2,400 ON A CAR I OWE $9,000 ON. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.

CAR IS SHUTTERING FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION AND HIGH RPM

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD FOR A RECALL ON THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY PREVIOUSLY FIXED IT ON APRIL 16, 2019. MY FUEL TANK IMPLODED AND MY CAR WAS STALLING OUT AND EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT START. NOW IT'S OUT AGAIN AND MY CAR IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED ON BOTH CITY STREET AT LIGHTS AND HIGHWAYS. MAINLY WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT IT WILL REV UP BY ITSELF AND THEN STALL OUT WHEN I START ACCELERATING. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS MATTER AND WHEN I TRIED TO SHOW THEM THE DOCUMENT I HAVE FOR THE RECALL THEY STILL DEEMED IT INCORRECT. THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR BECAUSE OF IT PREVIOUSLY BEING FIXED AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR RESULTING IN IT BREAKING DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO RECALLS. THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE CPV ONCE AND NOW IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, ONLY KEPT REPEATING THAT IT'S A ONE TIME FIX. FORD SIMPLY PUT A BAND-AID ON THE ISSUE RATHER THAN SOLVING THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, A WARNING MESSAGE THAT READ, "TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED, PULL OVER" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MOORESVILLE FORD (151 E PLAZA DR, MOORESVILLE, NC 28115) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 73,000.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE, BACKUP CAMERA FOR 2016 FORD FOCUS SE FREQUENTLY DISPLAYS AS "CAMERA UNAVAILABLE" OR DISPLAYS AN IMAGE TOO DARK TO DECIPHER.

IT IS HARD TO START AFTER REFUELING. STARTER KEEPS TRYING BUT UNLESS YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, IT WILL NOT STARTS. THEN IT SPUTTERS WHEN IT STARTS. IT HAS ALSO SPUTTER A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN RUNNING (BUT IT NEVER STALLED)

SHAFFER FORD -I WAS TOLD THEY FIXED THE RECALL ON MY FORD FOCUS, I DONT THINK THEY DID.

I HAVE BEEN 3 TIMES IN FORD BY PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH, THE LAST TIME THEY SAID THAT THE INSURE DON'T PAY ANY MORE AND I NEED TO PAY TO FIX IT BY 2350$. IF I FIXED IT BEFORE, WITCH ONE WILL BE THE GUARANTEED, BECAUSE THEY GAVE ME THE LAST TIME BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER NOW, YOU CAN FEEL THAT THE CAR LOST POWER, THIS SLIP INSIDE THE TRANSMITION

MY CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S JERKING.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.*DT*JB CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE STALLS WHEN CLOSE TO QUARTER TANK OF GAS AND APPROXIMATE MILEAGE WAS SLIGHTLY HIGHER.*JB

MY TRANSMISSION ON MY 2016 FORD FOCUS SHUDDERS, BUCKS, JERKS, HESITATES WHILE CHANGING GEARS, AND THERE IS A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

WHEN PULLING OFF FROM A STANDSTILL THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND JERKS. THIS PROBLEM DOES,NT HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT IT APPEARS TO BE WORSE WHEN THERE ARE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. THE DATE BELOW IS THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED. HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT DID OK WHEN THEY DROVE IT.

I WAS ON THE WAY DRIVING TO FIESTA FORD IN INDIO TO GET MY TRANSMISSION FIXED I HAD NO OTHER WAY TO GET IT TOWED DOWN THERE THAT MY WARRANTY,PATRIOT WARRANTY DECIDED NOT TO FIX MY CAR AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS REMIND YOU I'M A CAREGIVER SO DRIVING ON THE WAY YOU KNOW MY TRANSMISSION IS GONE IT STARTLED ON ME AND A DIESEL NEARLY HIT MEI'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE RECALL ON ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY SAID THAT IT'S TOO LATE THE TRANSMISSION BEEN MESSED UP SINCE THE DAY THAT I GOT IT IT WAS A USED CAR I GOT IT FROM COACHELLA VOLKSWAGEN

I BOUGHT A USED 2016 FORD FOCUS 4DR SE AT AUTOCITY EL CAJON ON MAY 21, 2018 WITH ODO: 45,141 AND WAS UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY UPON PURCHASE FOR THE PRICE OF $15,164.23. OCTOBER 29, 2018- I RECEIVED A MASS EMAIL REMINDER FROM AUTO CITY TO CHECK IF THERE ARE ANY KNOWN RECALLS UNDER MY CAR. DECEMBER 2018- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD VIA SNAIL MAIL AND CALLED A FORD DEALER TO SUBMIT A TICKET. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL AND WILL BE NOTIFIED ONCE AVAILABLE. NO RESPONSE BACK REGARDING THE ISSUE TILL THIS DAY. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S32/ NHTSA RECALL 18V-735 *I WAS ADVISED AND COMPLIED WITH ALWAYS LEAVING MY FUEL LEVEL TO 1/2 TANK OF GAS UNTIL THE RECALL GETS RESOLVED.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS - IT IS NOT SIFTING SPEEDS

CAR ENGINE COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE STATIONARY ON A STREET AT A RED LIGHT, THE ENGINE WOULD CRANK AND THE CAR SHOOK AGGRESSIVELY BUT WOULD NOT START. I WAS STRANDED A BUSY ROAD UNTIL SOMEONE COULD PUSH MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC WHILE IN NEUTRAL. EVENTUALLY AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND CALLED TOW, THE CAR DID START UP AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF STALLED TIME. WHEN CAR STARTED, OIL AND ENGINE LIGHTS WERE LIT UP ON DASH. THE FUEL LEVEL WAS AT 88 MILES TO EMPTY. WHEN CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP, DEALER EVALUATED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE FREEZE FRAME DATA SHOWED NO FUEL PRESSURE AT START. THEY SUSPECTED FUEL PUMP FAILURE, THERE WAS TANK DEFORMATION AND THE STRAP RETAINER POPPED OFF SHOWING TANK FLEX. FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED, AND FUEL PUMP AND ALL RELATED HARDWARE, EVAP CANISTER, EVAP PURGE VALVE. INVOICE EXPENSES TOTALED TO $1070.67. CALLED FORD DIRECTLY TO FILE COMPLAINT REGARDING SAFETY RECALL 18S32 AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED IN 2019 FOR THESE SYMPTOMS THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL 18S32. RECALL STATES: "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.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE TRANSMISSION ENGINE REVVING AND IS UP THERE IN THE SHIFTER

MY ENGINE HAD RUBBER PIECES IN IT FROM THE BELT INSIDE THE ENGINE EXPLODING - I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FORD WILL NOT COVER IT DUE TO THE TENSIONER BELT BROKE TOO WHICH IS NOT A COVERED PART

WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND START TO DRIVE TO CAR STARTS TO SHUTTER, EVERY TIME! UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO REACH AROUND 50 MILES PER HOUR, THEN IT WILL STOP. IT FEELS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS COMING OUT. THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE WE PURCHASED IT IN 2018. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP 3 X'S A EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS(TODAY BEING MOST RECENT) WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL WHILE IN MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE ON ITS OWN BEGAN ACCELERATING WITHOUT THE DRIVER USING THE ACCELERATION BUTTON ON THE CRUISE CONTROL OR PRESSING DOWN WITH RIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

MY GAS TANK IS STARTING TO IMPLODE

I HAD A RECALL REPLACED ON 9/18/2018 FOR THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS REPLACED MY CAR WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAD THIS PART RETESTED AND AGAIN IT DID INDEED FAIL THE TEST AND THE CLUTCH IS NOT PROPERLY WORKING. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS ISSUE TENDS TO HAPPEN ON FORDS ABOUT 45,000 MILES. IVE ALREADY HAD THIS PART REPLACED AND DONT QUALIFY UNDER THE NEW RECALL ON THE SAME PART. ANYTIME I INCREASE IN SPEED MY WHOLE FRONT END SHAKES AND JOLTS. IVE PAID ATTENTION TO HOW IT WILL DO THIS IN GEARS1-2 ONCE IT HITS JUST OVER THREE IT EVENS OUT.

I PURCHASED VEHICLE FROM A USED CAR DEALER, 30 DAYS LATER MY TRANSMISSION BLOWS IN THE MIDDLE OF A ACTIVE FREEWAY , I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT'S BEEN OVER 2 WEEKS.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000 AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY.*DT CONSUMER HAS STATED VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES.*JB*DT *TR

2016 FOCUS RS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR. RANDOMLY THE CAR STARTS BLOWING OUT A VERY LIGHT WHITE SMOKE WHILE IDLING (FROM WHAT I HAVE OBSERVED.) AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SEEM TO BELIEVE IT IS THE HEAD GASKET WITH A DEFECT. THIS SMOKE IS ONLY NOTICEABLE WHEN IDLING. ALSO I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SMOKE TO DEVELOP WHEN PUTTING THE AIR CONDITIONING ON FULL BLAST.

MY DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEPT GIVING OUT AND TO FIND OUT THE WIRE OF THE SOCKET TO THE LOW BEAM LIGHT IS MELTING CAUSING MY HEADLIGHT NOT TO WORK. I REPLACED IT NOW IT'S STILL MELTING AGAIN I'M AFRAID THAT'S THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE WIRING.

MY ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING AND SOMETIMES HAS THE INABILITY TO RESTART INACCURATE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE INDICATION INACCURATE DISTANCE TO EMPTY ENGINE STALL

ODOMETER IS OFF BY 50,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN ALTERED

HAD A FEW INCIDENTS WHERE IF YOU FORGET TO HIT THE SHUT OFF BUTTON TO THE ECOBOOST THAT WILL SHUT YOUR ENGINE OFF DURING A STOP LIGHT/TRAFFIC STOP TO SAVE GAS, IT WOULD COMPLETELY STALL THE ENGINE OUT WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. ONLY HAD TWO INCIDENTS OF THIS,OF COURSE I'VE ALWAYS CHOSE TO PUSH THE BUTTON TO SAVE THE STARTER. BUT THEN RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT, THE ENGINE STARTED TO LEAK COOLANT MAKING ONE THINK IT WAS A BLOWN GASKET BY THE WHITE SMOKE. AS I RESEARCHED I'VE FOUND FORUMS THAT STATED THAT IT WAS COMMON. BUT ONLY THE RS SERIES HAD A RECALL AND NOT THE STANDARD. BUT IF IT'S THE SAME COMPONENTS THEN WHY AM I TOLD ONLY THE RS SHOULD HAVE THE RECALL? BUT ANYWAYS MY ENGINE IS UNREPAIRABLE, CAUSE AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR IT DID THE SAME THING. IF A VEHICLE THAT COSTS SO MUCH WON'T LAST UNTIL A 100,000 THEN WHY SELL IT? IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

29,000 MILES - CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF STEERING SYSTEM VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN STEERING ASSIST FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. STEERING GEAR/RACK & PINION ASSY REPLACED BY FORD DEALERSHIP. FORD CASE #CAS26936032

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

DURING EARLY LOCKDOWN FOR PANDEMIC I ALLOWED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO VALET SERVICE MY CAR FOR OIL CHANGE, INSPECTION, ETC AS WELL AS A FUEL TANK RECALL 18S32. CAR WAS SHOWING NO RECALL SYMPTOMS BEFORE THE SERVICE BUT WAS RETURNED TO ME IN VERY POOR CONDITION. ENGINE SEEMS TO VAPOR LOCK AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES WITH NO POWER TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC AND WANTS TO STALL OUT, THEN IT CATCHES ITS BREATHE AND WANTS TO TAKE OFF OUT FROM UNDER ME. I'M A 62 YR OLD WOMAN WHO TRUSTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE SERVICE WRITER COULD CARE LESS AND WANTS TO CLAIM THAT I NOW NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. JUST DID A SHODDY JOB AND WANT MORE MONEY FROM ME. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE INCORRECTLY INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

FORD FOCUS PURCHASED NEW FOR OUR DAUGHTER IN 2016. WE ALL NOTICED A STUTTER OR JERKING MOTION UPON ACCELERATION AND ODD FEELING WHEN IT SHIFTED GEARS. . THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. THIS CARS IS ESSENTIALLY ALL MY DAUGHTERS. I ADVISED HER AS WELL AS CALLING MYSELF TO THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED IT FROM BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO TAKE IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE OR TIRE ROTATION. SHE ADVISED THEM OF THE ISSUE MANY TIMES,NO EVERY TIME SHE TOOK IT UP THERE. SHE WAS ALWAYS TOLD IT WAS "NORMAL" AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. SO WE TRUSTED THEM THAT FOR SOME ODD REASON THIS IS NORMAL. JAN 2020. SHE WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER VERY BADLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT BEGAN TO STOP IN THE ROAD LIKE SHE WAS BREAKING . SHE DESCRIBED IT AS THE CAR WAS JUST BREAKING ON ITS OWN TYPE FEELING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD. SHE BROUGHT IT SLOWLY TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY AS IT WAS NOT DRIVABLE.APPARENTLY IT IS AN TRANSMISSION ISSUE. A WELL KNOWN ONE! I WILL PROVIDE THE SERVICE RECORD IN THIS FOR YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS REPLACED THE NUMBERS AND CODES ETC . IT WAS AT THE SHOP JAN 10-13TH . WELL THEY DID REPLACE SOME PARTS IT WAS STILL DOING THE JERKING STUTTER WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER THE REPAIRS. AGAIN SHE ASSUMED THAT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MANY TIMES AND WE THOUGHT MAYBE THE ACTUAL PROBLEM SHE HAD WAS FIXED. IT WAS NOT. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WILL NEVER BE FIXED FROM WHAT I AM LEARNING TODAY IN REGARDS TO THIS 2016 FOCUS IN THE NEWS . I AM REACHING OUT FOR SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO ALL OF US. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT SO MANY OF US CAN NOT SEEM TO GET OUR VEHICLES FIXED AT LEAST IF THEY CAN NOT FIX THEM TAKE THEM BACK! I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS SUCH A HUGE ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ESSENTIALLY DEFECTIVE VEHICLES.. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. WE WILL TAKE THE CAR IN AGAIN NEXT WEEK FOR THEM TO TELL US ITS "NORMAL". SEAT ALSO HAS STOPPED ADJUSTING.

SHUDDERING FEELING WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP'LIKE SOMEONE WHO CAN'T FEATHER THE CLUTCH PROPERLY ON A STICK SHIFT'FOLLOWED BY A ROUGH 1-2 UPSHIFT THAT AGAIN SENDS A VIBRATION THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SOUNDS VERY BAD AS WELL. VEHICLE IN MOTION.

THE WIPERS STOP WORKING AND FREEZE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD CONSTANTLY!! BLOCKING VIEW FROM DRIVING. THE CAR SHUDDERS EVERY TIME YOU GO FROM A STOPPED POSITION. WORST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. BEEN TO THE FORD DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. NEVER GETS FIXED. *TR

I OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE MARCH 25, 2016. I'VE HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS ON TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I WOULD ALWAYS BE AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR WOULD WOULD SHUDDER WHEN I START TO MOVE.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE CODES WERE P1450 AND PO456 WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SAFETY RECALL OF THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE. THE FUEL TANK IS ALSO DEFORMED. MY CARS VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL SO THEY WILL NOT COVER IT AND I AM EXPECTED TO COVER IT. MY CAR ALSO HAS VIBRATION AT IDLE AND HAS CLUTCH SHUDDER OVER 250 RPM. FORD FIXED MY TRANSMISSION MODULE IN 2018 WITH A PREVIOUS RECALL AFTER IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. NOW I AM HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION MODULE IN 2018 BUT THE CUSTOMER CARE AGENT TRIED TO TELL ME THEY REPLACED THE PARTS ENTIRELY IN 2018 AND NOT JUST UPDATED. I NOTIFIED HER OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS STATEMENT AND THEN SHE WENT BACK TO SAYING MY VIN WASN'T PART OF AN OPEN RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS AT 74,563 MILES AND HAS ALREADY HAD SEVERAL MAJOR ISSUES REGARDING TRANSMISSION AND CANISTER PURGE VALVE.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS CAR GETS A P0299 FAILURE. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, TRYING TO SPEED UP, WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED UP QUICKLY, BUT DID NOT CHANGE GEAR. INSTEAD, THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN. AFTER A FEW SECONDS, THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING UP AT A SLUGGISH RATE. THE CAR NOW HAS A WHEEZING NOISE WHEN IN OPERATION AS IT ACCELERATES. *TR

CAR BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND JERK WHEN IN MOTION. SUDDENLY AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF FOR ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. CHANGED BATTERY IN HOPES THAT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE, CAR DID TURN ON BUT WOULD NOT REVERSE AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 10 MPH. OROVILLE FORD DEALERSHIP SAYS THE TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED, CLUTCH SLIPPING. QUOTING ME $3,900 AT THE VERY LEAST FOR REPAIRS IN A CAR WITH JUST 70,000 MILES AND THAT I'VE BARELY HAD TWO YEARS. IF FORD KNEW OF THE ISSUES WITH ITS RIDICULOUS TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS, WHY ARE THESE CARS STILL BEING SOLD TO LOWER INCOME PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD REPAIRS? I AM ONLY ABOUT 1,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY AND ON MY OWN. *TR

LOST POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. CODE SAID TURBO CHARGE BOOST; GAVE # TO DEALER. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER $150 TO DIAGNOSE & GET THE AME CODE AS MY MECHANIC! I HAVE BEEN CALLING TO CHECK ON A RECALL COLOR A KIT THAT BEEN RECALLED AT LEAST ON THE LAST 2 YEAR'S MODELS! THEY LOOKED AT MY CAR 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE IN JAN. 2019 BUT COULD FIND NO PROBLEM (CAR WAS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY THEN). WHEN I TOOK CAR TO DEALER TODAY, 1ST QUESTION WAS WHETHER I HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY! COULD NOT FIND INFO BY GOOGLING IT! THIS SITE RECOMMENDED BY MY MECHANIC. HE HAS 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE @ A DEALER! #128124;#128149;#128099; AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATED, I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY A SEMI ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH! RISK PULLING OUT ONTO HIGHWAY & INTERSTATE WITH NO POWER TO ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH!!! DANGEROUS!!! #128124;#128149;*DT CONSUMER STATED SHE DID NOT FILL OUT THIS REPORT AND DOES NOT KNOW WHO DID. VALVE CANNISTER KIT FOR 2016 MODEL NOT RECALLED AS OF YET. TURBO CHARGER HAS BEEN REPLACED.*JB

I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A CAR AND IT HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING/REVVING ITSELF UP AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY SAID THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RECALL FOR THE GAS TANK. WELL, I LOOKED UP TO SEE IF MY CAR HAD ALREADY GOTTEN FIX FOR THE RECALL AND IT SAID THAT IT DID. SO IT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED AGAIN, AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO DO. IT HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN. AS THE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON AND OFF. WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF, THE CAR IS PERFECTLY FINE, BUT WHEN IT'S ON, IT TRIES TO STALL. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEEN JERKING. WHEN I AM IN DRIVE, AND AT A STOPLIGHT OR STOP SIGN, AND I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATES AND JERKS. SAME THING WHEN I SWITCH GEARS AND REVERSE OR SWITCH GEARS AT ALL....THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE ALWAYS. *TR

JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER REPORTS, THE TRANSMISSION IS A NIGHTMARE. THE CAR SHAKES HORRIBLY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO DRIVE AFTER STOPPING. IT REVS UP WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS BUT IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO.. IT SHAKES REALLY BAD. I'M SO COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED THAT I DIDN'T DO MORE RESEARCH BEFORE I PURCHASED BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T WANT TO HELP. HORRIBLE CAR.. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING BUYING ONE. *TR

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUTTER WHEN TAKING OFF OR TURNING CORNERS. VEHICLE AT TIMES WON'T GO INTO REVERSE OR IT SLIPS WHEN PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TRANSMISSION REPAIR SINCE 2017. FORD KEEPS SAYING THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND THAT IT'S NORMAL SHUTTER. IT'S NOT NORMAL AT ALL. I FEAR DRIVING THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A 3 YEAR OLD AND 7 YEAR OLD CHILD. THIS VEHICLE HAS PUT ME IN SOME DANGEROUS SITUATIONS DUE TO THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HALF TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS THAT DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM... *TR

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. TRANSMISSION ERROR MESSAGES APPEAR VERY OFTEN. *TR

SOME TIME WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE CAR WILL NOT GO OR WILL GO AND THEN STOP ACCELERATING AND SHUTTERS. FORD HAS DONE SEVERAL REPAIR TO THE TRANSMISSION A DPS6 DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC, COMPUTER FLASHES AND NEW DUAL CLUTCH. THE CAR CONTINUES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AFTER EACH REPAIR. *TR

THE PURGE CANISTER VALVE HAD A SAFETY RECALL LAST YEAR, WHICH THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY PERFORMED AND MARKED THE RECALL AS COMPLETED. HOWEVER, THE PART WAS NEVER REPLACED, AND IS IN FACT DEFECTIVE. WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, IT DOES NOT WANT TO START AND STALLS OUT MULTIPLE TIMES. WHEN IT DOES START, IT RUNS ROUGH FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES. THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE WITHOUT CHARGING ME, DESPITE THE FACT THEY NEVER REPLACED THE PART. THEY ALSO REFUSE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER THAT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BECAUSE IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID THAT FORD WAS COVERING THAT ISSUE UP TO 100,000 MILES.

IT RAINED, AND CAR STOPPED. NO MOTIVE POWER. A RED WARNING, "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE ON DASH. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 20-2004 TO PUT ON A SPLASH SHIELD TO KEEP THE 318VOLT (HIGH!) CONNECTOR FROM BEING HIT BY WATER, BUT THE DEALERSHIP JUST PUT ON A BIG 350 AMP FUSE AND PUT THE CAR BACK IN SERVICE. THE FUSE BLEW DUE TO WATER INTRUSION. TREATED A SIDE EFFECT, NOT THE MAIN PROBLEM. THEY REFUSED TO DO WHAT WAS IN TSB 20-2004 & FSA 16B02. THE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWS HOW CLOSE THE TIRE IS TO THE HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY CONNECTOR! FORD KNOWS THIS, BUT NO RECALL, AND DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO FIX.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AFTER CAR WARMS UP LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING

THE TRANSMISSION, DRIVE TRAIN, INTENSELY VIBRATES, SIMMIES, AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE WHEN YOU TRY TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ESP. TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM ANY DEAD STOP. IS THIS A CONSULTANT PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FOCUS? HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR YET, AND DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING ANOTHER EVER AGAIN. CURRENTLY, 16,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED.

I HAD MY TRANSMISSION FIXED FOR THE RECALL IN JUNE 2018 & NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING CLUTCH SLIPPING. TOOK IT BACK & THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF LUCK IT WAS ALREADY FIXED FOR THE RECALL. IF THEY WERE GOING TO JUST PUT SOMETHING IN TO LAST A YEAR THEY SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME.

MY CAR HAS A HARD TIME CHANGING GEARS, WHEN STOPPED IS WILL BE DELAYED ON MOVING FORWARD.. I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT ON A BUSY STREET AND MY CAR WAS VERY SLOWLY TO ACCELERATE AND MOVE FORWARD AND THEN IT HAD A DIFFERENT SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA AND IT SPUTTERED AND THEN KIND OF SKIPPED A LITTLE FORWARD, THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE OTHER PEOPLE TO POSSIBLY BE HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC IF THEY'RE TRYING TO PULL OUT..

SAME ISSUE WITH FUEL TANK DEFORMATION. OCTOBER 2018 WAS THE RECALL. ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO GREENWAY FORD HAD THE CAR FOR THE WHOLE DAY AND STATED THEY FIXED IT BUT NOW I RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THE RECALL FIXING WAS INCOMPLETE AND THE RECALL STATES IT IS INCREASED RISK FOR A CRASH DUE TO STALLING OF THE ENGINE. SEPTEMBER 2017 SHIFTING CLUTCH FAILED AND WAS NOT INFORMED AUGUST 7 2017 TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING NOW THERE IS A FUEL TANK DEFORMATION THE CAR SHAKES ALOT

FOR THE LAST COUPLE YEARS, MY TRANSMISSION IN MY 2016 FORD FOCUS HAS STALLED UPON NEARLY ALL ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. ON JANUARY, 17 2020 I RETURNED TO MY CAR FROM THE LIBRARY IN IRVINE, CA TO DISCOVER THAT UPON TURNING THE IGNITION, THE CAR DID NOT START. I TRIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WENT ON ONE TIME AND STOPPED, THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD LIT UP, THE MEDIA SCREEN LIT UP AND THE INTERIOR CAR LIGHTS CAME ON. I CALLED AAA, MY INSURANCE CARRIER, DESPITE IT NOT APPEARING TO BE A BATTERY ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH ME AFTER I EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND TRIED TO SCHEDULE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I TRIED THE IGNITION ONE MORE TIME AND THE CAR STARTED. A NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH SCREEN APPEARED READING "TRANSMISSION SERVICE REQUIRED" AND REMAINED ON THE SCREEN FOR A SECOND BEFORE DISAPPEARING. USUALLY IF A DASH NOTIFICATION APPEARS, THE SMALL ICON LIGHT WILL REMAIN LIT WHILE I OPERATE THE VEHICLE, THIS ICON LIGHT DID NOT REMAIN ON. MY INSURANCE REPRESENTATIVE EXPLAINED THAT AN ISSUE WITH A TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED A TOW AND IT MAY BE UNSAFE TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I SAT IN MY CAR FOR A MINUTE AND NOTICED MY AVERAGE MPG HAD CHANGED FROM 33.3 TO 0.0. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AS I NEEDED TO LEAVE THE LOCATION TO TEND TO OTHER PARTS OF MY DAY. I ARRIVED SAFELY TO MY DESTINATION. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE EXACT SAME SITUATION OCCURRED WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR AND LEAVE FOR THE DAY. TURNING THE IGNITION SEVERAL TIMES DID NOT WORK, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CAME ON ONCE, THE TRANSMISSION NOTICE APPEARED AND DISAPPEARED AND THE AVERAGE MPG WAS AT 0.0 AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE CAR NOTIFIED MY THAT I HAD 0 MILES UNTIL EMPTY, DESPITE THE GAS TANK CONTAINING WELL OVER A QUARTER FILL. THE GAS NOTIFICATION DISAPPEARED AND THE MILES TO EMPTY SECTION CHANGED BACK TO 175 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY VEHICLE SINCE THIS OCCURRED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE ABNORMALLY WHILE ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (DUNNING FORD 1051 SOUTHGATE PKWY, CAMBRIDGE, OH 43725 (740) 439-7767) AND ALSO TO (DUTRO FORD-LINCOLN 132 S 5TH ST, ZANESVILLE, OH 43701(740) 452-6334) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY 2016 FORD FOCUS SE GIVES ME GREAT CONCERN WHEN DRIVING AS THE TRANSMISSION CONSISTENTLY SKIPS/JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING. THERE WERE 2 SEPARATE INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR HAS SKIPPED GEARS, CAUSING CHANGE OF SPEEDS AND NEARLY HAD 2 ACCIDENTS ON THE FREEWAY. MY MOST RECENT ONE WAS RIGHT BEFORE I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE FORD SERVICE CENTER RIGHT BEFORE MY WARRANTY CLOSED AND REQUESTED THEY FIX, HOWEVER WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG AND IT OPERATES PROPERLY.

CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR STALLED WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT ON CITY ROAD. TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC WHO RAN DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND CODE P1450 STATING UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM WHICH IS RELATED TO PCM MEMORY. STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WAS TOLD PCM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED TO LATEST CALIBRATION USING IDS RELEASE 99.05 OR HIGHER. WE FEEL THAT THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD REQUIRE A FIX BY FORD

EARLIER IN JANUARY, I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 70 FROM KANSAS CITY TO ST. LOUIS AT THE RATE OF 77 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR DINGS AND SENDS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH "ENGINE FAILURE" AND THE CAR LITERALLY SHUTS DOWN. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR, NO LIGHTS, NO BRAKES, NOTHING! LUCKILY I GOT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD SAFELY AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. STILL NOTHING... I WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THANKFULLY IT STARTED. I DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST PLACE TO HAVE THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND NOTHING CAME UP. FINALLY GOT IT HOME. IT'S NOT DONE THIS AGAIN, BUT NOW IT RUNS ROUGH. LIKE REALLY ROUGH. I'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH FIXED ONCE ALREADY. LUCKILY IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL BE CONTACTING MY LOCAL FORD DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WAS UNAWARE IT WAS UNDER RECALL.

HI, I NOTICE SHUDDERING IN MY VEHICLE WHEN I ACCELERATE FORM COMPLETER STOP. I HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO AT 24000 MILES. I ASSUMED ITS BECAUSE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION THAT THE WHEELS ARE SLIPPING. BUT AFTER READING THE NEWS ABOUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN OTHER FORD FOCUS, I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS TRANSMISSION RELATED. I CONSULTED A MECHANIC ON THIS AND THE ASSOCIATED FORD DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE THERE WAS A WARRANTY EXTENSIONS FOR VEHICLES BUILT TILL NOV 5TH OF 2015. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT ON DEC 21ST OF 2015. I ALREADY DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 85000 MILES. I DONOT WANT TO BE BURDENED WITH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS ONCE FORD DECIDES LATER TO EXTENT THE WARRANTY TO 100000 MILE AND I DONOT QUALIFY. HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME IN THIS MATTER. THE SHUDDERING HAPPENS AT RANDOM AND I AM AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN WHY. UNDER RAINY CONDITIONS SHUDDERING AT THE 4 WAY INTERSECTION WAS ALSO NOTICED AND CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL OCCASIONALLY SHUTTER DURING ACCELERATION FROM BOTH A DEAD STOP AND LOW SPEED ROLL. THE MOST COMMON TIMES WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR IS WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE THIRTY DEGREES FAHERENHEIT. THIS ISSUE WILL CAUSE SLOW ACCELERATION AS THE COMPUTER ATTEMPTS TO DECIPHER WHICH GEAR TO SHIFT INTO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PUT ON HIS HAZARD LIGHTS PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED.

THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT VEHICLE MAY BE SUBJECTED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATION 96,000.

ALTHOUGH IT'S AN AUTOMATIC GEARBOX, FEELS LIKE IT'S ACTING LIKE A MANUAL WITH SLIPPING CLUTCH WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS. IE 0 TO 45MPH. INTERMITTENTLY JUDDERS, HIGH REVS LOW POWER OR LACK OF POWER AT TIMES WHEN PULLING OFF FROM STATIONARY POSITION CLUTCH INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ACTS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS IT STALLED ON ME COULDN'T START IT , HAD TO PUSH TO A SAFE PLACE NOW ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK AND GOT IT CHECKED WAS TOLD IT'S A VAPOR LOCK. I SEE THERE'S A RECALL FOR FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE BUT NOT ON MINE I AM UNABLE TO HAVE MINE REPAIRED DO TO FINANCES. WHY RECALLS ON SOME FOCUS AND NOT ALL.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH "ENGINE FAULT SERVICE NOW" MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND FINALLY CAR SHUT DOWN. I TOOK INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TURBO AND ENGINE WERE NOT GETTING FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY PUMPED INTO THEM AND WOULD BOTH NEED REPLACED.

HELLO, MY CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN A TURN. IT WENT OUT LIKE A LIGHT BULB WOULD. NO WARNING. I WAS LUCKILY AS NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE ARCH OF THE CURVE WAS FAVORABLE FOR THIS SITUATION. I NOTICED THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. GOD FORBID IF I WOULD HAVE HAD MY GRANDCHILDREN WITH ME AND THERE WAS TRAFFIC!! THIS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS AN ISSUE BEFORE WITH EARLIER MODELS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS WITH THE NEWER MODELS AS WELL. SOMEONE WILL HAVE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT SOON WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF LIFE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING UNFORTUNATE HAPPENS. THANK YOU! :-) [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY AND TURNED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES BEFORE IT WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HEALEY FORD LINCOLN LOCATED AT 2528 NY-17M, GOSHEN, NY 10924, (845) 291-1998, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RECALL THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY CAR I HAVE TROU LEFT RESTARTING THE CAR, WHEN IT DOES START IT RUNS ROUGH FOR A MINUTE THEN IS FINE UNTIL I PUT GAS IN THE CAR AGAIN.

SHAKES SHUTTERS SINCE NEW HAVE HAD IN TWICE. SAID BOTH TIMES NOT SHAKING OR SHUTTERING ENOUGH YET. UM IM 52 I AM A MECHANIC. WE ALL KNOW THIS IS LEMON I HAVE OWNED NUMEROUS FORDS AND WOULD LIKE THIS RESOLVED

WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE IT WAS RAINING CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. COULDN'T CONTINUE TO DRIVE SO WAS PULLED OVER ON SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY UNTIL RAIN STOPPED. LATER WIPERS CAME ON BY THEMSELVES WHILE SWITCH WAS TURNED TO OFF POSITION AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF UNTIL FUSE WAS PULLED. HAVE REPLACED MOTORS AND SWITCH AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN REPAIRED. NO LONGER WORKING AT ALL WITH NO RESPONSE TO THE SWITCH AT ALL.

CAR HAS BEEN VIBRATING WHENEVER ACCELERATING SINCE THE FIRST 6 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS PURCHASED. CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2016. STARTED STALLING A FEW MONTHS AGO AFTER ANY STOPS. THOUGHT MAYBE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS LOW OR DIRTY SO I HAD IT CHANGED. RIGHT AFTER OIL CHANGE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR BEGAN DRIVING AS IT WOULD GET STUCK. HAD THE CAR CODED AND IT CAME BACK THAT THE CLUTCH WAS GETTING JAMMED. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT AS LONG AS I WAS UNDER 100K. I AM AN UBER DRIVER FULL TIME AND MY CAR IS OVER 100K. CALLED FORD RECALL OFFICE AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CAR DIDN'T FALL UNDER THE YEAR OF THE CLUTCH ISSUES. FORD HAS BEEN TRYING TO BUY BACK MY CAR 4MONTHS SINCE I DROVE OFF THE LOT AND I SHOULD OF KNEW THAT WAS A RED FLAG. I AM CURRENTLY SPENDING 55 DOLLAR A DAY ON A RENTAL SO THAT I MAY CONTINUE DOING UBER WHICH IS HOW I EARN MY INCOME. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY MONEY TO GET THIS CAR FIXED AND THEN ANOTHER ISSUE ARISES.

THE 6-SPEED DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A WELL-DOCUMENTED SHUDDER WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE- JERKY MOTION, NO OR DELAYED MOTION, EXTREME SHAKING OF THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. FORD HAS REPAIRED THIS PROBLEM ONCE, BUT THE REPAIR PROCESS WAS FAULTY, AS THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. IN 8/2019, FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR TO 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES, FOR FOCUSES BUILT BETWEEN JULY 4, 2013, TO NOV. 5, 2015. MY 2016 FOCUS WAS BUILT AFTER THIS DATE, SO FORD IS NOT MAKING THE REPAIR. THEY CLAIM CHANGES WERE MADE TO SUBSEQUENT MODELS TO ALLEVIATE THE NEED FOR REPAIRS-- BUT MY 2016 FOCUS IS PROBLEMATIC FOR THE SECOND TIME, SHOOTING DOWN THAT ASSERTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL AT VARIOUS TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED MOST OFTEN WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ACCELERATING UPHILL. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO SHUDDER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT CALLED AUTONATION FORD CORPUS CHRISTI (LOCATED AT 6250 SOUTH PADRE ISLAND DRIVE, CORPUS CHRISTI, TX 78412, 361-444-0125) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR FOR THE RECALL WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER ALSO CALIBRATED THE CPU ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,476. *BF*JB

CAR WAS ON CRUISE CTL, THEN JUST WHEN INCREASING SPEED, WAS GOING 30 THEN WHEN TTO 80 BEFORE I CANCEL IT, WAS DRIVING 60 CAR AUTO WHEN TO 30, TRANSMISSION SERVICE COMES UP NOW AND TEN

I BOUGHT THE CAR AT A FORD DEALER IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR AND WAS STEERED INTO IT WITHOUT ANY MENTION OF THE TRANNY AND CLUTCH PROBLEMS. SURE ENOUGH THE CLUTCH IS SLIPPING AT ONLY 12000 MILES! WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A CLUTCH TO COME IN FOR 10 DAYS SO FAR. I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY JUST SAID THEY WOULD KEEP FIXING IT. I CAN`T BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE ALLOWED TO KEEP SELLING THESE CARS KNOWING THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY HAD! WE TOLD THEM WE WERE BUYING A CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO THE CITY WHEN MY BF GETS HIS KIDNEY TRANSPLANT AND THIS IS WHAT WE ARE STUCK PAYING FOR FOR OVER 5 MORE YEARS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX! WE ARE SCARED TO EVEN DRIVE IT! IT JERKS INTO GEAR FROM LOW TO 2 AND SOMETIMES HESITATES. IF IT DOES THIS AT THE WRONG TIME, IT COULD GET US KILLED!

TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS GOING 60 CAR WHEN TO 30 MPH, CAR CAN GO IN REV WAS INFORMED BY DEALER. CAR WONT START ON COLD OR WARM DAYS NOT BATTERY, CLICKS AFTER TRYING TO START AND TURN OFF.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND NOTICED A HITCH IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION'S GEAR SHIFTING. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN AT MOMENTS WHILE I ACCELERATED. IT WOULD KICK BACK IN DURING THOSE MOMENTS AND START TO WORK AS NORMAL. WHEN I LEFT WORK AT A LATER DATE MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AS I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY RAMP FROM ANOTHER RAMP. A CAR THAT WAS COMING DOWN THE BLVD ALMOST HIT ME BUT I RODE OFF TO THE SHOULDER BEYOND THE FIRST RAMP ONTO THE SECOND ENTRANCE. AS I DROVE HOME I NOTICED A WORSE LOSS OF POWER TO THE POINT OF A FEEL OF ALMOST SHUTTING DOWN AS I DROVE HOME. AS I WAS PARKING I NOTICED MY CAR WAS NOT WORKING IN DRIVE. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAD TO PUT IT IN PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO GET IT TO GO FORWARD. ONE THING I NOTICE ABOUT A YEAR AGO WAS THAT THE LOW GEAR WAS FAR SLOWER THAN OTHER CARS I HAD IN THE PAST. I MENTIONED IT TO A PERSON AT THE DESK AT FORD'S REPAIR DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THAT THE LOW GEAR WAS JUST SLOWER THAN IT IS ON OTHER CARS.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNING, MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS TO GET IT GOING, IT FINALLY TOOK OFF AND STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND SHAKING ONCE IT GOT ABOVE 25 MPH. I'VE BEEN TO SCARED TO DRIVE IT EVER SINCE.

RECALL NOT DONE I DID EXPERIENCE THE CAR STALLING WHILE TAKING OFF

I'VE GOTTEN MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SERVICED TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION'S CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED TO SUPPOSEDLY FIX PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE LACKING ACCELERATION AND ROUGH SHIFTING. EVEN AFTER GETTING THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED, THE VEHICLE STILL SUFFERED THE SAME SYMPTOMS. THE MOST EXTREME PROBLEM/CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES GOES INTO NEUTRAL ALTHOUGH IT'S IN 'DRIVE'.VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 78,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON CRASH AND ONLY THE AIR BAG UNDERNEATH THE STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE AIR BAG PARTIALLY DEPLOYED AS TO THERE WAS A POWDER SUBSTANCE AND AN UNUSUAL ODOR FROM THE AIR BAG. THE SENSOR INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WERE ON AND ACTIVE BEFORE THE CRASH. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING ONLY 5 MPH, BUT THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 30 MPH. ALL THE AIR BAGS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE DEPLOYED EVEN THOSE IN THE BACK SEAT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A NECK STRAIN AND BRUISES FROM THE SEAT BELT RESTRAINT. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE ENTIRE ENGINE DROPPED DOWN AFTER THE CRASH AND DEBRIS WAS THROWN ACROSS THE STREET. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,800. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

I BOUGHT THIS 2016 FOCUS IN HOPES ON GIVING IT TO MY DAUGHTER BUT I WILL NOT, IT IS NOT A SAFE GAVE TO DRIVE. OUT OF NOWHERE IT WAS STRUGGLING TO GO INTO DRIVE GEAR AND THE REVERSE GEAR AND THEN I WAS JERKING REALLY BAD WHERE MY DAUGHTERS HEADS WE'RE HURTING BECAUSE OF ITSO I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME NOW $3,000 AND THEY HAD IT FOR MORE THAN A MONTH NOW AND I AM ABOUT TO LOSE MY JOB BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION WITH THIS CAR FORD IS SAYING THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR MY RENTAL BUT IT'S STILL BEING CHARGED TO MY CARD WHICH I AM BEING OVERDRAFT FOR AND I'M COMING IN MORE IN-DEPTH AND DEBT BECAUSE OF THIS CAR I AM A SINGLE MOTHER TRYING TO PROVIDE FOR MY CHILDREN ALL ON MY OWNTHIS IS UNACCEPTABLE OF FORD AND THIS SITUATION HAS CAUSED ME TO GO INTO AN ACCIDENT AND I END UP HITTING ANOTHER CARTHIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE AN EXPENSE I SHOULD BE PAYING FOR OR BECOMING IN DEBT FOR FORTUNE BE FULLY LIABLE FOR THE SITUATION

WHILE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY - THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN AFTER A SHORT PERIOD, SLAMMED INTO A LOWER GEAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF THERE WAS ANY TRAFFIC AS THE CAR IMMEDIATELY SLOWED DOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). AFTER RECEIVING THE NOTICE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AND TURN OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHEN APPROACHING A STOP. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FRONTIER FORD (3701 STEVENS CREEK BLVD, SANTA CLARA, CA 95051, (408) 533-1488) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR THE DEFORMATION OF THE FUEL TANK, NOT THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE. WHEN THE CONTACT NOTIFIED THE DEALER OF THE RECALL, HE WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A "PUBLIC SAFETY NOTICE". THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER TO REPAIR THE FUEL TANK. THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE REMAINED UNREPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND LURCHES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, AND HAS ISSUES WHILE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT HAS NOT "FAILED", BUT LOOKING ONLINE, THERE ARE SEVERAL BLOGS AND REPORTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE. WHEN SENDING A COMPLAINT TO FORD AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, I KEEP GETTING TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE PRODUCTION OF THE FORD FOCUS AND ITS TRANSMISSION. I JUST GOT DONE READING AN ARTICLE I FOUND ON FOX NEW, WHERE IT STATES THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION BY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES INTO THE ISSUE OF FORD KNOWING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A DEFECTIVE OR PROBLEMATIC TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, SHIFTED INTO PARK, AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO THE IMPOUND LOT WHERE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO KOONS FALLS CHURCH FORD (1051 E BROAD ST, FALLS CHURCH, VA 22044) WHERE IT CURRENTLY REMAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V479000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION, THE RPMS FLUCTUATED FROM HIGH TO LOW AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CENTURY FORD OF MT. AIRY (302 CENTURY DR, MT AIRY, MD, (301) 829-2801), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER A STOP, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED. AT SOME POINT DURING THE FAILURE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THEN TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED.

THE LUG NUTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE IMPROPERLY DESIGNED, AND THIS ISSUE IS WELL KNOW BY THE FORD DEALER, (FELIX SABATES FORD, CHARLOTTE, NC) AND TIRE SHOPS SUCH AS GOODYEAR. THE ALUMINUM OVER-CAP ON THEM BECOMES "SWELLED" AND DEFORMED TO THE POINT THAT A LUG WRENCH WILL NOT FIT ON THEM, AFTER ONLY A FEW USES. THIS CAN BE MORE THAN JUST A NUISANCE, AS IT CAN LEAVE SOMEONE STRANDED IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT TIRE. FORD REFUSED TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE WITH REPLACEMENT LUGS NUTS WHEN I CALLED THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO BEEN TOLD BY FORD THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF COMPENSATING THE DOZENS OF CUSTOMERS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO. I HAD TO PAY FOR AFTER-MARKET REPLACEMENTS. THERE IS NO WAY LUG NUTS SHOULD BE DEFECTIVE AFTER ONLY 3 YEARS (5 TIRE ROTATIONS), AND THE DEALER DID MOST OF THEM. I PAID $62 + 8% TAX FOR REPLACEMENTS (WHILE I WAS AT GOODYEAR). SEE PHOTOS OF DEFORMED LUG NUTS AND RECEIPT FOR REPLACEMENTS. *DL

I WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT THE KNOWN DEFECT AT THE TIME OF SALE. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR AFTER PURCHASE, I CALLED IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED. THE CAR HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING MOST TIMES GOING UP HILL BUT ALSO ON FLAT. I WAS TOLD THEN THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WILL BE AN GOING PROBLEM. WHEN ASKED WHY I WASN'T TOLD PRIOR TO BUYING I WAS TOLD BY THE HEAD OF SERVICE THAT THIS IS BUSINESS. I'VE TRIED TO GET IT FIXED THREE TIMES, EACH TIME HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL . I HAVE ANOTHER SERVICE APPOINTMENT DEC 4. I HAVE CHILDREN AND WORRY ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. MY CAR HAS ALSO STALLED THREE TIMES WHEN THE CAR WASN'T ON E. I WAS PARKED EACH TIME IT STALLED. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN DRIVING IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL.

TRANSMISSION ELEMENT STUCK ON NEUTRAL, FORD FOCUS 2016 , FORD SOLD THE CARS AND KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. GEAR SIFTS IN NEUTRAL, MY CAR HESITATED IN A CROSSING AND MY CAR WAS HIT IN THE BACK DOOR. .THE CLUTCH SLIPS IN NEUTRAL, FORD USES DRY CLUTCHES IN THIS CAR FOR EFFICIENCY, BUT WET CLUTCHES WOULD BATHE THE FRICTION DISCS. FORD ISSUED DOCUMENTS WITH THE PROBLEM CODE DPS6, AROUND THE WORLD THEY HAVE HAD CLASS ACTION SUITS PERTAINING TO THIS PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT THIS FOCUS A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AND I'VE REPLACED THE CLUTCH 2 TIMES ALREADY. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE FORD FOCUS SE. IT'S ONLY BEEN 8 MONTHS SINCE I REPLACED IT AND IT ALREADY GOING OUT AGAIN. ITS STARTING TO GRIND GOING INTO 1ST,2ED AND 3RD GEAR AND IT GRINDS AS I'M COMING TO A STOP

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS I PULLED OVER ON A FLAT PARKING SPOT AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME I SWITCHED GEARS BACK IN TO DRIVE LOW THEN BACK TO PARK THEN BACK TO REVERSE AND IT STILL WANTED TO GO FORWARD. AFTER 4 TIMES GOING THROUGH THE GEARS IT FINALLY WENT INTO REVERSE.

VEHICLE HAS A INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE AND HESITATES WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE AND HAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THIS IS ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME AND IS MOST COMMON AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND WHEN CHECKED AT AUTOZONE IT COMES BACK AS THE PVC WHICH IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH FOCUSES. ALSO, ON ONE OCCASSION, THE TRANSMISSION FAULT LIGHT CAME ON AND THAT IS ALSO A KNOW ISSUE WITH FOCUSES. MY VEHICLE OFTEN STALLS AT INTERSECTION WHEN I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART IN MOST CASES.

WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IT STARTED MAKING NOISE WHEN I DROVE IT I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEMS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS IT STARTED MAKING THE SAME NOISES SO WHEN I HAD TIME A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT MY WARRANTY WAS NOT ACTIVE ANYMORE. IT MADE THE SAME NOISES THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN AND THEY NEVER SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION IT WAS A WHEEL PROBLEM. I'M ASKING FOR HELP ON WHAT TO DO THANKS.

VEHICLE STALLS AT STOPS, VEHICLE WONT START AFTER FUELING AT GAS STATION, DTC P1450 ALWAYS PRESENT, HARD TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ON CITY STREETS.

WHILE DRIVING WITHIN CITY LIMITS ON A DAILY BASIS, MY VEHICLE SHUTTERS FROM THE START AND AT ACCELERATION, SOMETIMES STALLS AS I START TO ECCELERATE FROM RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS, CREATING POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WANT GO OFF, AND SMELLS OF FUEL WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.

ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE 2 WEEKS AFTER SERVICE DEPT AT VIC BAILEY FORD REPLACED. INCIDENT REPORT. TOTAL LOSS AND LAWSUIT COMING IF NOT COMPENSATED FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. ENGINE IGNITED WITH ME IN VEHICLE! SERVICE BAY RELEASED CAR TO ME 2 WEEKS AGO. TOLD THEM WAS NOT FIXED FOR 2 WEEKS WAITED ON APPT. OIL LIGHT CAME ON AFTER DROPPING OF DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. MULTIPLE WITNESSES AND VIDEOS OF FIRE UNDER CAR AND THEN BLEW DUE TO HEAT SOURCE WHICH WAS ALL SUPPOSEDLY FIXED. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND PULLED OVER AS SOON AS OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND I SMELLED SMOKE. TURNED INTO NEAREST PARKING LOT OFF HIGHWAY 221, SPARTANBURG SC. ROEBUCK FIRE DEPT RESPONDED. WILL NOT DRIVER A VEHICLE FROM FORD EVER AGAIN!

ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AGAIN ON MY CAR AND THERE APPEAR TO BE CONTINUED ISSUES WITH FORD FOCUS CLUTCHES. MY CAR WON'T SHIFT CORRECTLY AND I WAS TOLD INACCURATE INFORMATION BY TWO SEPARATE FORD DEALERSHIPS. THE CAR WON'T PROPERLY SHIFT WHEN GAINING SPEED AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. MY CAR DOES NOT SHIFT WELL ALL ALL TYPES OF ROADS, INCLUDING CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND AN ONGOING ISSUE, NOT ONE OCCURRENCE. AFTER RESEARCHING FORD FOCUS CLUTCHES, THERE APPEARS TO BE A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS NOTED IN THE RECALL AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A POOR QUALITY CLUTCH MANUFACTURING ISSUES ON ALL FORD FOCUSES, NOT JUST THE SPECIFIC GROUP THAT WAS INITIALLY LISTED. I FEEL THAT MY CAR ALSO SHOULD BE A PART OF THIS RECALL AND THERE COULD BE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THIS AS WELL.

WHEN CAR WARMS UP ABOUT 25 MINUTES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE CAR JOLTS AND SHUTTERS AND SHAKES YOUR BODY AS YOU'RE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL. SO IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION AND YOUR GO TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SHAKES YOUR BODY BECAUSE IT'S JOLTING BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL, AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE EVAP PURGE VALVE. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED I HAD TO RETURN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS LATER BECAUSE IT DIES EVERY TIME I GET GAS, NOT THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING BEFORE. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THIS WAS BECAUSE FORD SENT OUT A FAULTY PART, AND THE FLAP ISN'T CLOSING ON THE VALVE. FORD WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THE THE RECALL SAY IT IS A ONE TIME FIX, THE DEALERSHIP WILL ALSO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY STATE IT IS IS FORDS RESPONSIBILITY.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, SHAKES, BANGS, MIS-SHIFTS, ETC. WHILE DRIVING; MOSTLY DURING UP OR DOWN SHIFTS. THIS IS DANGEROUS. DEALER ROMANO FORD IN FAYETTEVILLE, NY HAS GIVEN UP; WE ALL KNOW THERE IS NO REPAIR.

THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING A TRANSMISSION SHUTTER BUT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS NOT HELPING AND WANTS ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE PURGE SOLENOID SEIZED IN THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION AND HARD SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT, INTERMITTENTLY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AFTER THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE WAS A NEW SYMPTOM THAT OCCURRED ONLY AFTER THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,573.

THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING AND DOES NOT SLOW DOWN PROPERLY WHEN DECELERATING. THIS CONDITION BECOMES WORSE ON HOTTER DAYS AND WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT. ALSO, WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR SHUDDERS THE WORSE. THE CAR ALSO FEELS UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN. IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS STAYING IN A HIGHER GEAR WHEN LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND NOT DOWNSHIFTING PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE.

2016 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO FORD RECALL NOTICE. *AS *JS

MY CAR RUNS WELL BUT AFTER DRIVING MY CAR IN MOTION IT BEGINS SHAKING AND THEN IT TURNS OFF. I CRANKED MY CAR AGAIN AND IT RUNS GOOD IN A STREET BUT IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THIN ALL OVER AGAIN.

WHEN THE CAR WAS AT 55K, THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION'S CLUTCHES WERE SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR FROM 1000-3000 RPM AND PRODUCED EXTREME JERKINESS. IT WOULD HAPPEN FROM A STOP AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING IN THAT RPM RANGE. I HAD TO GET MY INPUT SHAFT SEAL AND CLUTCHES REPLACED AT 56K. MIND YOU CLUTCHES ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST 100K ACCORDING TO FORD. ALSO WHILE BACKING UP THE CAR WOULD VIOLENTLY JERK AS THE CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING, IT WAS ALSO DIFFICULT TO GO UPHILL. THE CLUTCH REPAIR MADE IT FEEL BETTER, THE SHUDDER IS COMING BACK IN JUST 1000 MILES AT 57K. I AM AFRAID THAT THE CLUTCHES WILL SLIP AGAIN AND SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE NO WARRANTY EITHER, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE EATING A COST OF ALMOST 2000 FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST. PLEASE GET A RECALL GOING FOR THIS...

I GO TO TURN IT ON AGAIN CRANKS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN IT STARTED. FELT LIKE GAS TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY AND STRUGGLED TO PUT FUEL THROUGH GAS LINES.

MY 2016 FORD FOCUS WAS SERVICED FOR FUEL SYSTEM RECALL 18S32 ON JULY 12,2019. A CODE WAS REPROGRAMMED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE ENGINE SPORADICALLY STALLING AND IT STILL POSES A SAFETY RISK. RETURNED TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON 09/03/2019. CAR WAS STILL STALLING AND "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" WAS ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AFTER THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE HAD BEEN REPROGRAMMED IS A DIRECT INDICATION FUEL TANK IS DAMAGED -FORD RECALL 19S22, WITH A FUEL TANK DEFORMITY WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE SAFETY ISSUE. FORD DEALERSHIP POWER FORD IN ALBUQUERQUE,NM REFUSED TO DO THE CPV REPLACEMENT, CARBON CANISTER REPLACEMENT, FUEL DELIVERY MODULE AND FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AS RECALL 19S22 CLEARLY STATES IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO DUE BECAUSE OF SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS.MULTIPLE ONLINE CONSUMER REPORTS STATE THIS THAT IF IT IS SERVICED FOR THE RECALL AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IT IS A DIRECT INDICATION IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY BECAUSE OF FAULTY MANUFACTURING- WHICH DAMAGES THE GAS TANK(FUEL TANK DEFORMITY. IT IS THEIR OBLIGATION TO FIX THE VEHICLE BEFORE AN ACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN. PASSENGERS IN THE CAR DAILY ARE A 10 MONTH OLD AND 2 YEAR OLD , WHO COULD BE GRAVELY INJURED BECAUSE OF THE CAR STALLING-ESPECIALLY ON THE BUSY FREEWAY THE CAR TRAVELS EVERYDAY..

SEVER SHUDDERING WHEN SHIFTING, ESPECIALLY FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR; PRE-SHIFTING AT LOW RPM'S AND SLIPPING GEARS; STALLING AND NEAR-STALLING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN ON AN INCLINE; BACK SEATS COME UNLOCKED AND FLY FORWARD WHEN YOU BRAKE HARD- CONTRARILY THE FRONT SEATS FLY BACK WHEN ACCELERATING . FORD DEMANDS PAYMENT FOR ESTIMATE/DIAGNOSTIC EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS LINE OF VEHICLE. EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS OFFERED, AT A SIGNIFICANT CHARGE- SHOULD BE FREE!!!. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING SINCE I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE.

CAR HAS STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHILE AT A STOP. ONCE WHILE DRIVING. THE LATTER WHILE MY TANK WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL. THERE IS A VACUUM/VALVE ISSUE THAT FORD HAS RECALLED FOCUS VEHICLES ON, BUT NOT MY VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR VALVE ISSUES BUT DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. TANK WAS LESS THAN HALF FULL, NO ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT, BUT IT APPEARS NOT TO BE WORKING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING MALFUNCTIONED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN A STOPPED POSITION. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THREE MONTHS AGO FROM DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM OF WINTER HAVEN (299 CYPRESS GARDENS BLVD, WINTER HAVEN, FL 33880, (888) 612-3182). THE CONTACT SUSPECTED THAT SHE WAS SOLD THE VEHICLE WITH THE STEERING CONDITION ALREADY PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE VEHICLE STALLED DURING A LEFT TURN INTO THE RIGHT LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS HIT AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO FORD PREVIOUSLY DUE TO CONCERNS OF STALLING/SLUGGISH ACCELERATION AT WHICH TIME THE DEALER DISCLOSED AN ISSUE WAS KNOWN THAT WAS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR AND PERFORMED REPAIRS. THE ACCELERATION SEEMED A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL NOT RIGHT BASED ON DECADES OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. I THINK THE CPV ISSUE (18S32/18V-735) MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL AND BE HIT WHEN IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN HIT OTHERWISE.

I PURCHASED A 2016 FORD FOCUS WITH 7 MILES ON IT IN MARCH 2017. IN MAY 2017, AT ROUGHLY 4,000 MILES, THE CARS TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, STRANDING ME IN MISSOURI ON A ROAD TRIP. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID "STOP CAR NOW, TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING". SINCE THAT TIME, THE CAR HAS HAD 2 NEW TRANSMISSIONS, AND 5-6 NEW CLUTCHES. EACH TIME, IT IS REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR STUDDERS AND DOES NOT WANT TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT ON A HANDFUL OF OCCASIONS IT HAS DONE IT AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT HAS ALSO FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS, AND THEN RANDOMLY ENGAGES AND SENDS MY CAR (AND ME) FLYING INTO AN INTERSECTION WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE NEW CLUTCH HAS TO "WARM UP" TO THE WAY I DRIVE WHEN IT SHUDDERS IMMEDIATELY AFTER REPLACING THE CLUTCH, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES, ETC. THE ATTACHED FILE IS FROM THE FIRST REPAIR. I HAVE SEVERAL MORE.

ON 8/18/19 SENT FROM YAHOO MAIL ON ANDROID ----- FORWARDED MESSAGE ----- FROM: "[XXX] TO: [XXX] SENT: MON, AUG 19, 2019 AT 10:58 AM SUBJECT: VIN #[XXX] TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 17 IN WASHINGTON STATE AND THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES OF MY 2016 FORD FOCUS ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE. HWY 17 IS A 60 MPH, TWO LANE HIGHWAY SURROUNDED BY FARMLAND. WHILE DRIVING ON THAT HIGHWAY, I MANEUVERED TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK THAT WAS TRAVELLING AT 50MPH. THERE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH DISTANCE FROM ON-COMING TRAFFIC TO PASS SAFELY; WELL, THAT IS IF AS I PULLED ALONGSIDE THE SEMI-TRUCK I HADN'T LOST ALL POWER EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPM'S WENT UP TO "THE RED" 7-8, I STARTED LOSING SPEED AND PACING BESIDE THE SEMI- TRUCK. I COULD HOPE MY ACCELERATION ABILITY CAME BACK, OR I WAS GOING TO TRY TO BRAKE AND GO BACK WHEN I SAW ANOTHER CAR BEHIND ME IN THE PASSING LANE, MAKING ME A SITTING DUCK. FOR A FEW SECONDS OF PANIC, I CONSIDERED MY OPTIONS- MOSTLY TO GO OFF IN THE DITCH TO THE LEFT. LUCKILY, THE ACCELERATION CAME BACK AFTER THE NEEDLE ON THE RPM'S WENT HAYWIRE AND I SLOWLY WAS ABLE TO GET IN FRONT OF THE SEMI-TRUCK BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC HIT ME. THE CAR BEHIND ME SPED PAST ME AS I GOT OVER, WITH A LOOK THAT I INTERPRETED AS HE THOUGHT I WAS TRYING TO KILL HIM. AT 47K MILES THE FIRST TRANSMISSION FAULTS BEGAN TO APPEAR. I HAVE ATTACHED COPIES OF THE FORD SERVICES AND TICKETS OPENED DUE TO THE MULTIPLE, ONGOING PROBLEMS. I AM NOT PART OF THE CLASS LEGAL ACTION FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES OF 11-16 FOCUS AND FIESTAS. RESPECTFULLY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE UPDATE WAS DONE ON THE PCM DUE TO VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND FUEL GAGE SAYING EMPTY WHEN I KNEW IT HAD MORE THAN HALF TANK. NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING ONLY WORSE. IT WORRIES ME THAT THIS HAS CAUSE MY IGNITION TO GO BAD AS WELL DUE TO THIS RECALL.

ON 8/18/19 MY DAUGHTERS CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE CLUTCHES ONLY TO HAVE THE OTHER GO TWO DAYS LATER THIS TIME THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP THE CAR ONLY HAS 9 THOUSAND MILES. UPON CHECKING MORE INTO THE CAR THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED BEFORE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS2209312, BUT NO RESOLUTION WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT REACHED OUT TO THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE FOR LEMON LAW ADVICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,500.

CAR STALLED ON A SUNDAY WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AT MY OWN EXPENSE OVER 80 MILES TO MY HOME. THE NEXT DAY ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE IT TO DEALERSHIP WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE AT 40MPH. HAD SAMARITAN ASSISTANCE TO PUSH IT OUT OF THE ROAD AND HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE NEAREST LOT IN THE RAIN AS THE STREET HAD NO SHOULDER. THAT LOT HAPPENED TO HOUSE A REPAIR SHOP. REPAIR SHOP DETERMINED ISSUE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND CALLED FORD TO CONFIRM HOWEVER FORD DENIED. WHEN I CALLED AND SPOKE TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE REP WAS TOLD THE ISSUE IS ACTUALLY UNDER RECALL (BUT ALSO WARRANTY) BUT ONLY FORD CAN PROVIDE RECALL REMEDY WITHOUT INCURRING CHARGES SO I COULD BRING IT TO FORD TO HAVE IT COMPLETED. SO I TOWED THE FOCUS TO THE DEALERSHIP AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I WAS INFORMED DIAGNOSTICS WOULD BE PERFORMED IN APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS. WHEN I INQUIRED ABOUT A LOANER VEHICLE WAS GIVEN 1800 NUMBER TO FORD CARE. I CALLED 3 OTHER FORD DEALERSHIPS TO ASK THEIR WAITING PERIOD FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND FOUND ONE THAT STATED BY THE END OF THE WEEK (TODAY IS TUESDAY). I ULTIMATELY HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THAT LOCATION. ONCE OFF THE SHUTTLE AND BACK HOME, I CONTACTED FORD CARE AND WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING A LOANER VEHICLE AND EVEN REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE TOW CHARGES I INCURRED. I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE UNTIL REPAIRS CAN BE COMPLETED WITH 3 TOW CHARGES ON MY BANK ACCOUNT.

FORD FOCUS 2016-TRANS. WONT SHIFT RIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED JENKINS & WYNNE FORD, HONDA, & LINCOLN (LOCATED AT 2655 TRENTON RD, CLARKSVILLE, TN 37040, (931) 542-4886) AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

JANUARY 2019 HAD TRANSMISSION CLUTCH REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY JULY 2019 TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AGAIN ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, REPLACED TANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND CLUTCH MOTOR, CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 8 DAYS STILL NOT REPAIRED. CAR WAS STATIONARY AT A RED LIGHT, WENT TO ACCELERATE, REVVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, THEN HOT TRANSMISSION ERROR, AND AFTER REPEATEDLY PUTTING IT IN PARK AND DRIVE, IT DROVE FOR 10 SECONDS AND WAS ABLE TO GET FARTHER TO THE EDGE OF THE ROAD TO WAIT FOR TOW TRUCK. HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AND CROSS TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTION EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS, VERY LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING WHILE ACCELERATING IN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. TRANSMISSION ACTUALLY COMPLETELY CUTS OUT OCCASIONALLY, FORCING THE CAR TO LURCH BACKWARD SOMEWHAT UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AGAIN. HIGH RPM LEVELS AT SHIFT POINTS BETWEEN 1ST, 2ND AND 3RD GEAR. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE, AS THERE HAVE BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE TIMES THAT I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO GET UP TO APPROPRIATE SPEED, BUT THE CAR TAKES TOO LONG TO BE ABLE TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ARTICLES ARE SAYING 2012 TO 2016 FOCUS ARE AFFECTED, YET THERE IS NO TRANSMISSION RECALL ON MY 2016? THE ISSUES DID NOT GO AWAY!

THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A CONSISTENT PROBLEM OF BEING ERRATIC AND REQUIRES CONSTANT VERY PARTICULAR PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL TO AVOID SHUDDERING AND SHAKING WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH WHEN IT HAPPENS MAKES THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY CONTROL IN ANY TYPE OF TRAFFIC SINCE OTHER DRIVERS DO NOT ANTICIPATE THE LURCHING AND STAGGERING FROM THE CAR UNLESS THEY HAPPEN TO NOTE THE FORD EMBLEM AND ARE AWARE OF THE SAFETY PROBLEMS FACING ALL FOCUS DRIVERS OF THE AFFECTED MODELS. I HAVE FOUND THE ISSUES MANAGEABLE BY ASSERTIVE MANIPULATION OF THE GAS PEDAL DURING ACCELERATION AND GENTLE AND GRADUAL APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES WHEN POSSIBLE TO OFFSET THE DANGEROUSLY INCONSISTENT ACCELERATION AND THE TENDENCY FOR CAR TO MISSHIFT WHEN SLOWING DOWN. I'M ABSOLUTELY APPALLED TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION BUT IS TYPICAL OF MOST IF NOT ALL 2012-2016 IT IS INCONCEIVABLE TO ME THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF THIS LIFE THREATENING MALFUNCTION IN THEIR PRODUCTS AND INSTEAD OF SOLVING OR ADDRESSING IT SOLD CARS TO UNSUSPECTING PUBLIC ON THE BASIS OF THE THEIR GOOD NAME AND REPUTATION AS A QUALITY AMERICAN MANUFACTURER. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AT HERTICH FORD OF MILFORD DELAWARE FOR A SEPARATE ISSUE INVOLVING FUEL SYSTEM SENSORS WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL GAGE TO BE INACCURATE AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO A VACUUM CREATED IN THE GAS TANK, WHICH WAS FIXED BY THE RECALL WORK BUT AGAIN CAUSED A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND PASSENGERS. APPARENTLY THERE IS ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM ERROR WHICH I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SCHEDULE AS YET. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN AND ANYONE READING THIS DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY CHEVROLET OR TOYOTA TWO BRANDS I CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANKS

I HAD THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH REPLACED ONE THEN TOOK BACK BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION STARTED AGAIN BEFORE WARRANTY WAS UP TOOK BACK TO LEN STOLER DEALER ND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE HESITATION WAS WITHIN THE THRESHOLD. NOW THE HESITATION IS WORSE WITH GRINDING SOUND AND THEY TELL ME THE WARRANTY IS UP ND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY.

CAR HAS SHUDDERED AND FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE WHICH STARTED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE NEW. THE SHUDDERING OF THE TRANSMISSION SOUNDS LIKE RATTLING AND THAT THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL WHEN IT IS A AUTOMATIC VEHICLE. THE CAR IS SHUDDERING OFTEN FROM STOPS TO ACCELERATIONS, FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS TRYING TO GRIP INTO THE NEXT GEAR AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE PERSONALLY HAD MY CLUTCH REPLACED BY FORD 2 TIMES AND I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER 2 YEARS. TO GET FORD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH IS A HUGE HEADACHE. FOR MONTHS WHEN I WOULD TAKE THE VEHICLE IN DUE TO THIS SAFETY COMPLIANT THEY WOULD SAY THAT THE SHUDDERING TRANSMISSION IS WITHIN NORMAL LIMITS AND REFUSE TO FIX IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. I ALSO TRIED TO CONTACT THE CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TO GET IT FIXED AND NO RESULTS THERE EITHER. FOR THE MOST RECENT REPAIR I HAD TO REALLY FIGHT THE SERVICE CENTER TO DRIVE IT AND GET IT REPLACED UPON FAILING THEIR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. CAR ALSO HAS A ROUGH IDLE WHICH HAS RESULTED IN THE MOTOR MOUNT BEING REPLACED. CAR IS LOW MILEAGE AND A 2016. IT IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THE SHUDDERING OCCURS THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE TO A SAFE SPEED TIMELY.

2016 FORD FOCUS TITAN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: THE TRANSMISSION HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND HAS SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. AT 1 POINT THE DISPLAY/MONITOR TURNED WHITE WITH A SMALL CAR IN THE CENTER. THE CAR WAS MOVING FORWARD AND ON CITY STREETS WHEN IT SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPEN AT LEAST 4 TIMES SINCE OWNERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE I-5 SOUTH WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY LOSES ACCELERATION AND SPEED IN BETWEEN SHIFTS NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY THE CAR BEHIND ME SWERVED TO THE OTHER LANE. VERY SCARY MOMENT BECAUSE MY CAR COULDN'T FIND IT'S GEAR.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR SHUDDERS AS IT GOES FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR AND THERE IS A NOISE THAT SOUNDS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING.

CAR SHUDDERS AND SHAKES WHEN SWITCHED BETWEEN LOW GEARS. IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. WAS PROMISED BY FORD DEALER WHEN BUYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE DID NOT EFFECT THE 2016 MODELS. AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A MONTH THE CAR NEEDED TO HAVE ITS CLUTCH REPLACED. FORD AGAIN PROMISED THIS WAS A NEW PART AND WOULD FIX THE ISSUE PERMANENTLY. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER AND I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LUNGED FORWARD, AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FELIX SABATES FORD LINCOLN (7601 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273, (980) 224-5854) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: CAS-22244697. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

I'VE BOUGHT A USED 2016 FOCUS SE AT A FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT A YEAR OR 2 AGO. THE CAR ALREADY AT 50,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE THE ENGINE STARTED STUTTERING VERY BADLY DURING SHIFTS SO I CONTACTED FORD AND THEY HAD MY CLUTCH REPLACED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 72,000 MILES AND THE STUTTERING DURING SHIFTS STARTED UP AGAIN.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND MAKES NOISE - I'VE TAKEN IT TO 2 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM.

WHENEVER I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP MY CAR SHAKES AND SHUDDERS SO BAD. IT'S DONE IT EVER SINCE I I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN 2018. I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN MY CAR WAS GOING TO HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SO ROUGH EVEN IN HIGH GEARS.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR WILL COMMONLY SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING IN LOWER GEARS, FREQUENTLY CREATING AN UNSAFE LAG IN MOMENTS WHERE QUICK ACCELERATION IS REQUIRED. THE PROBLEM BECOMES MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE PERIOD OF CONTINUOUS OR NEAR-CONTINUOUS USE INCREASES. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT, AT PRESENT, THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHUDDERING ENOUGH TO WARRANT A REPAIR UNDER THE TERMS OF MY WARRANTEE, HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT IS DUE TO MY CONTINUAL ADJUSTMENT TO DRIVING STYLE TO ACCOMMODATE THIS UNSAFE SITUATION. I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S PRUDENT FOR ME TO EXACERBATE THE SITUATION AT THE RISK OF MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR REPAIR AT THE MANUFACTURER'S EXPENSE. THE SHUDDERING ITSELF CAN RANGE FROM A LIGHT FLUTTER TO A COMPLETE DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CLUTCH FOR A SECOND OR TWO. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THAT AMOUNT OF TIME IS UNACCEPTABLE. TO ME, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE SOFTWARE IS ATTEMPTING TO DECIDE AND ACTUATE A DESIRED GEAR RATIO, BUT DOING SO IN A TIMEFRAME THAT IS FAR LONGER THAN WHAT IT WOULD TAKE ME TO DO SO IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ADDITIONALLY, SOME ENGAGEMENT MECHANISM OR PROGRAM FREQUENTLY MISJUDGES THE ENGAGEMENT OF THE CLUTCH, RESULTING IN MECHANICAL ABNORMALITY RANGING FROM A FLUTTER TO A SHUDDER TO A LOUD AND FORCEFUL KNOCKING AS IT ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE. THE ODD BEHAVIOR IS MOST PRONOUNCED WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST, SECOND, OR THIRD GEAR. OCCASIONAL BUT VERY ALARMING DISENGAGEMENT OF THE CLUTCH CAN OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TURNING CAN SEEM TO EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE RPMS DROPPED BELOW 500 AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VACUUM ASSIST FOR THE BRAKES WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DON FRANKLIN FORD (LOCATED AT 388 KY-192, LONDON, KY 40741, (888) 461-0896) ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE DUAL CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V845000 (POWER TRAIN). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE RECALL CAMPAIGN WOULD NOT BE HONORED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD A REBUILT TITLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR JERKS AND SPUTTERS SO BAD THAT FOR FEAR OF GETTING IN A COLLISION WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR ALL TRAFFIC TO CLEAR WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. VERY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY! I WAS NOT THIS BAD ON THE TEST DRIVE AND THE SALES MAN TOLD IT THE CLUTCH PLATES NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED. ROBERT HORNE FORD (3400 S TOMAHAWK RD, APACHE JUNCTION, AZ 85119, (480) 508-8831) DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AND WAS CURRENTLY REPAIRING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND SUGGESTED THE CONTACT CALL NHTSA. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DISCLOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING AND NOT GOING INTO GEAR. WHEN I TRY TO PUT I PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND PUSH GAS PEDDLE IT DOES NOT GO, BUT WHEN I PUT IN DRIVE IT MOVES. THE CAR ONLY HAS 45,XXX MILES. WHEN I START THE CAR A BUNCH OF CLICKING SOUNDS COME FROM THE MOTOR, AND WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF IT MAKES A BUNCH OF WEIRD CLICKING SOUNDS ALSO

MY CAR HAS EXTREME STUTTERING WHEN IT SHIFTS, AS THOUGH THE CLUTCH IS SLIPPING OR NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY. IT ALSO DOES NOT SHIFT WHEN GOING UP A HILL UNLESS THE THROTTLE IS RELEASED AND THE REV COUNTER IS ALLOWED TO DROP VERY LOW. ACCORDING TO NEWS REPORTS, FORD SET A DEADLINE OF 7/19/19 FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS OF THIS ISSUE. MY LOCAL DEALER CONFIRMED THIS DEADLINE AND TOLD ME TO CALL FORD FOR INFORMATION. FORD REFUSED TO CONFIRM ANYTHING AND SAID THAT I NEEDED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO DO ANYTHING. THE FACT THAT THEY HID A DEADLINE FOR REPAIR COVERAGE FOR A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT THE PUBLIC WAS ONLY MADE AWARE WHEN THAT INFORMATION WAS LEAKED AND REPORTED ONE DAY BEFORE ITS EXPIRATION IS INCREDIBLY ANTI-CONSUMER AND DANGEROUS. THERE CAN BE NO REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT ANYONE WOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE A PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AND FIXED IN ONE DAY AT A DEALER, AND FORD IS CLEARLY ACTING IN BAD FAITH.

VEHICLE STUTTERS AND HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING/STAYING IN GEAR AFTER COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN AND STARTING MOVEMENT AGAIN MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. SOUNDS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS GRINDING DAILY WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER BEING AT A STOP, OR SLOWING DOWN. VEHICLE DROPS GEARS RANDOMLY WHILE MAINTAINING SPEED HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MADE RIGHT HAND TURN OUT AND EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR FLOORED VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE UNTIL ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN CARE JUST TOOK OFF ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY, WAS LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL GEAR AND WAS JUST ROLLING FOR JUST UNDER A QUARTER MILE ON CITY STREETS. EVEN FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE MIGHT OF BEEN SLOWING DOWN.

AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES, THE DPS6 TRANSMISSION STARTED SHUDDERING AND VIBRATING DURING ACCELERATION. IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND AT 21,988 MILES, ON 6/12/2019, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FROM WHOM I HAD PURCHASED THE CAR NEW ON 6/20/2016. A TECHNICIAN PERFORMED LABOR CODE #160109A. HE THEN NOTED, "FOUND SOME CLUTCH SHUDDER STILL PRESENT BUT FEWER THAN 250 RPM, OK PER FORD." AFTER I COMPLAINED, THE SERVICE MANAGER SENT ME A LETTER OFFERING ME A FREE OIL CHANGE (WHICH I DECLINED). TODAY, 7/17/2019, AT 21,988 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL SHUDDERING. I AM WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THE FORD FOCUS/FIESTA TRANSMISSION SETTLEMENT. MY CLAIM ID NO. ON THIS SETTLEMENT IS 10612086.
