2012 FORD FOCUS Unknown Or Other Problems

The Power Steering shut down suddenly while I was driving it. I am [XXX], and certainly did NOT have the power to turn the wheel like it needed. If there had been fast moving traffic at that time, I could have been hit and severely injured, Why hasn't this been recalled yet? The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. I had to go there when my power steering intermittently came back on because it was only 6 blocks away from my house and I didn't dare try to drive it to a ford dealer which was 12 miles away. I'm not positive about the light coming on, but I believe I saw a circle with an "i" inside of it I was too stressed to notice completely, when I was trying to control my car.

Transmission problem

TCM needs replaced. Car does not have reverse, stalls and overheating.

The TCM on the transmission needs fixed they said i could get a rental car.

Brought into Ford dealership for recalls to be done and when I picked my car up, no recalls were performed

On highway with my 18 month old and as a cat merged on ramp I signaled and moved to left lane. I had to move and quickly so that another fast car would not hit me in the rear end where my baby was seated in car seat. In only the 3 seconds I had to make decision which hit would be better for me and my child, my car stuck in the lower gears and I could not speed up to move out of way or pass vehicle parallel my car was losing speed rather than gaining when I pushed in gas to floor

UNKNOWN. I am aware of at least 2 recalls on my vehicle and took it to Long McArthur in Salina to have the recalls fixed in late summer 2023. As of this date, Long McArthur has not notified me the parts have come in to fix the recalls properly and I am still driving unsafely with many check engine lights on constantly and my vehicle making odd sounds. In summer 2023, Long McArthur said the parts were hard to come by and on back order and told me to highly consider buying a new vehicle.

There’s a recall for my transmission but my clutch which is also the cause of my transmission failing and overheating and also stopping in its own in the middle of traffic is a major safety issue that Ford says they don’t have a program for and stated that they can’t fix my transmission due to in the recall it doesn’t mention clutch being repaired. I have the paperwork stating that I need my transmission rebuilt but Ford couldn’t do it due to the clutch not being in the recall but of course I was out of $200 just to get a diagnosis and risk the chance of driving to the Ford company and back home to get my car diagnosed which my car stopped on me once going to the Ford dealership and had to pull to the side due to transmission overheating safety popping up on my dash and saying wait 5 minutes. Today 7/12/24 after picking my car up from Ford I had to manually reset my transmission in order to drive back home which is what I’ve been previously doing every since having this problem my car dash alerted me that my transmission was overheating within driving it for only 2 minutes and just automatically shut down on me in the middle of the intersection. There’s no way for me to put my hazard lights on due to car shutting I had to hurry up and jump out of my car to direct traffic to go around me. Had to wait at least 10 minutes then reset my transmission and tried driving back home but again my car shut off without warning me this time. I feel like Ford isn’t any help when it comes to an issue like this cause this really is a safety issue what if the car behind he wasn’t paying any attention and crashed my rear end even though they’ll be at fault. What if this situation would’ve happened on the highway when traffic is really busy going 70 miles per hour? This is something that needs to be added in the Ford recall program as well with the transmission. Now I’m stuck w/out a car with no job due to not having a reliable person to take me to and from work while my car won’t run

While driving car trying to stall in middle of traffic.

The door ajar light illuminates on the dash even though the door is shut, the door ajar shows it is the driver side back door. With that warning I'm unable to lock the doors while inside the vehicle and the doors do not lock when putting the vehicle in drive from park or unlock when putting the vehicle in park from drive. I'm also unable to use the door handle lock and unlock sensor on the outside of the driver door.

we had a recall and Ford Motor frauded us three times. we brought our car in for ford focus transmission module in 2021 to get it fixed wihtin greico Ford the ten year and they made us pay 176 to hold the part put us off for two years telling us no part on back order and then they called us said they had it and gave it away in a day as we were five hours away after making us wait two years and taking money from us they refuse to give us back our money and then we took to anohter ford dealer sarasota ford and they frauded us and just reset the old defective part and now they saying sorry to late now i demand something done we shjpuld have it markled as not fixed the recall it is outstanding they lied and we never got it fixed and they l;ying saying it was fixed and they just reset the old defective part they frauded us

Sometimes when I start the car it shifts into next gear slowly. It may begin with a vibrating or jerky motion.

Transmition control module on my 2012 ford focus sel Broke on a road trip leaving me with 1,3,5 gear only , and online it says this is a common issue considering you NEED a transmission to drive I feel this should be something that gets a recall

Not even a month ago my car started jerking when taking off like hard enough to practically put you through the windshield. It almost stalled on me at a stop sign. I have the customer satisfaction program 14mo2 letter from Ford about my TCM replacement. But I believe it is the power shift dual clutch in transmission that’s having the issue.. I called Ford today because the dealership I want to take my car to wants to charge me $4000 if it’s not the TCM. Apparently there have been issues with the powershift clutch transmission and that the coverage that they had to fix that issue has expired years ago. I cannot drive it out of my small town for fear of it breaking down on me. I found out the TCM had been replaced in 2016 and I’ve only had this car six months to seven months tops and it only has 75,000 miles on it. It revs up real high and does not shift gears properly. I am afraid to take it out on a highway or anything afraid it might cause an accident and Ford told me they will not fix it unless I pay for it if it’s the powershift dual clutch. I thought ford was supposed to fix any transmission issues whether under warranty or not. These safety issues could get someone killed!

sudden loss of power. would not stay in gear. took it to the ford dealer and they had to replace the TCM.

It wont go in reverse and comes out of gear transmission?

The problem is with the transmission and dual clutch and electrical. My car shakes when still, doesn't want to go when I put on the gas, doesn't want to change gears. The electrical keeps going on and off and the fan goes on and stays on after I shut car off and get out and stays on. I took it to schicker ford on south kingshighway to get programmed and I got my car back it was worse.

The component is unknown and below is description. The car is stalling while accelerating and rushing forward when it does accelerate. At stop lights and when the car stops in traffic the vehicle is stalling. When the gas pedal is pushed to accelerate the stalling can cause a vehicle behind me to crash. After stalling, the acceleration causes the car to rush forward and it could cause my vehicle to run into someone in front of me. The vehicle was inspected at a dealership however I strongly believe their recommendations were not correct and that there is an easy fix for the issue above. They also claimed that it had nothing to do with the recall and did not provide information on the assessment about the recall. This particular recall does cause stalling so it is baffling to see that the dealership did not provide a written assessment on the report like they did for the door handles. I paid $150 for an assessment and around $200 for tow to bring the vehicle home after the assessment. The check engine light did come on and I took the vehicle to the dealership due to how unsafe the car was driving. I feared driving the vehicle and had it towed to the dealership for this poor assessment. I have not driven this vehicle in a year due to the unsafe driving conditions. I would like for the recall to be fixed and determine if that is causing the issue or not.

The truck opens by itself while I’m driving.

The automatic dual clutch is shaking my steering wheel and whole car.

transmission control model in the car needs a new one

While stopped and preparing to turn left at yield light, my check engine light suddenly came on followed by several alerts and dings. Not understanding what was occurring in that exact moment, I had an opportunity to safely make the left turn, and intended to address the issue once off the main road. Within moments of releasing the brake my car began violently revving and jolted forward into the intersection, in response I quickly threw on my hazard lights while trying to maintain control of the situation. Following this moment, my car suddenly had zero acceleration or vehicle control- just loud revving and bells and whistles. This left me briefly stranded in the middle of the intersection with oncoming traffic approaching quickly. I threw the car into park, and then back into drive- it never stopped revving, but it finally gave me enough control to lurch the vehicle out of intersection and barely into the entrance of a subdivision. It was utterly terrifying, and as result caused me to have a massive panic attack. Mind you, This car is barely over 100k in miles, and I just purchased it last summer from a used car dealership- so I took to the internet to search the issue while waiting for AAA to arrive. To my unknowing amazement, this car was slated with 2 major safety recalls- one being related to the transmission. I do not understand how this vehicle was allowed to be sold to me with such issues, or without disclosure about the possible recalls. With that aside, I was utterly distraught when my research concluded that Ford KNEW about these issues before they hit the market- they’re also allowed to keep them on the road with sorry assed “band-aid” repairs for the faulty equipment- still knowing full and well that this issue is Guaranteed to happen again! So now, I knowingly have to continue payments on a death trap- that I currently cannot drive. I am losing income I couldn’t afford to lose, and I’m terrified of my car. This is not ok…I’m not ok.

The horn has never worked for me since I had the car. I’ve had so many close calls where people almost backed into me and there is nothing I can do but pray! And also the stereo system I’ve had to go in and disconnect due to the fact that I’d come outside with my car off haven’t even started it that day yet the speakers would be blaring a horrible cracking and popping sounds also happens randomly while driving it’s very scary

In September 2020 I was on the expressway when my engine failed, I was able to get into the emergency lane after almost causing an accident, after inspecting the car it was concluded that the engine was no longer viable with no explanation of why the engine failed. So I replaced the engine and the car was still not drivable. In March 2022 I was able to get it started when I tried to drive the car the transmission was slipping, the “ transmission malfunction service now” warning came on, and the RPM gauge on the dash was not reading properly. I ran a code after the transmission warning came on, and the code said P0001, I called the Ford dealership to get it serviced when I was told that there was an unknown recall but the part was on back order for a year, so my car wouldn’t be fixed until the order came in, I searched my Vin number and had a recall for a fuel tank deformation, I also learned that there was a lawsuit against Ford for their 2012 Ford focus transmissions, which could explain the engine failure and the transmission problems.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE I called for and they now claim my vechile cant be covered because it's out of this stated warranty by a few months. We hThe car has been in for service regarding the transmission on this car multiple times. We have broguht in for service as well as call for many years, over and over again, we've been told there is nothing wrong with the car. even though it has a warning for tranmission malfunction service now. ave been trying to get this resolved since my dad bought the car in 2012! weve been turned away. I need to have this fixed.

Automatic transmission on 2012 Ford Focus SEL hatchback has been stalling. I drive on heavily traveled highways, leading me to be at risk of a major traffic accident if my car loses power. Transmission also whine and grinds really hard. Dealership is aware of the issue, but refuses to recall these faulty transmissions, leaving several thousands of people at risk of losing power and getting hit. Has been inspected by the dealer and multiple mechanics, all point to transmission issues from a faulty factory clutch system.

I started feeling the transmission having problems going into 1st or 2nd. started right when I hit 90,000 miles. It would shutter like there wasn't enough power but only in lower gears. I've had the car since 2013 and now I have to be extra careful when I put the car in reverse because if the shifter is hit, it will slide the car into either neutral or drive, depending if the shifter is hit up or down. I was never contacted about a a transmission issue by Ford or my dealership. If this is a problem with Ford Focus 2012-2018 then why are customers not being contacted regarding this safety issue.

Electrical power Steering assist malfunctioning

After starting the vehicle I had no power steering. I drove the car all the way home with no power steering. I shut down the car at home and restarted it and then the power steering worked. I’m very worried about others in my family driving this car and having an accident. This has happened in the past but after moving the car it would start working but not this time. I haven’t taken it to any dealer yet but I think Ford should fix this problem

We have had many issues with our Ford Focus since purchasing it the summer of 2020. First in October 2020 it needed new clutches & throw out bearing. Which cost over $1,400. Second we have had to have both left & right wheel bearings replaced. In August of 2021, we started having transmission problems. The Ford dealership reprogrammed it. It did not fix the problem. We contacted Ford & was told it is the transmission control module which is under warranty. We were told it is taking 3-6 months for the parts to get in. Our Ford dealership ordered one over 6 months ago & still has not got it in. We need our car for transportation but haven’t been able to drive it for two months. Ford needs to step up & offer a solution. We are very discouraged, disappointed & unsatisfied with Ford right now.

Was driving on interstate when transmission suddenly quit working. The gears would not engage and then I got a "transmission overheating" message and the dashboard lit up in red warning lights. As I was pulling off to the side on the interstate trying to dodge must faster traffic, the engine quit. I waited for about 30 minutes then cranked it again. I got almost a mile down the road when the whole sequence started over again. I drained and changed the transmission fluid thinking that might be the problem but this had no effect. The transmission overheating warning would come on before I even made it a mile down the road. I have not taken to dealership yet because I am not sure I shouldn't just junk it. Ford is never going to recall these bad transmissions and I am sure I will have to pay between $3,000 to $5,000 for a new transmission and do not want it anyway if Ford is just going to put in another transmission that, like this one, their own technicians found faulty. You can inspect this vehicle any time you want.

I've already lost count of how many times I changed the transmission of this car and now I have to change it again. So I don’t know what to do now Thank you

Vehicle would shake and completely shut down whenever I would stop at a red light or stop sign. It put myself and others drivers at risk because the vehicle would shut down on extremely busy roads, this happened on multiple occasions. There was an inspection by a service center but at the time I didn't have the funds to pay for it.

Ok when I start the car and turn the key to on but I have to wait a second and during that second inside the engine it's like it sounds like when u change disc song on a jukebox and then when it does that then I could start the car but as of now nothing works or drives and barley bought it not even month ago from personal owner,but some advice and help please thank you.

My car is sitting in the garage because I was told not to drive. Parts from Ford transmission issue are on back order. I'm a 66 year old and I need my car to go to work. I called Ford to see if they would do the Lemon Law and after review they said no. I have had numerous issue with my car. My car has only 45000. I took it to a couple of other places and they said they are back up 3 to 6 months on the same issue with Ford transmission. I read an article about the Ford issues in your web page and it's identical with the issue I'm having. Clutch locks and I am unable to reverse and the car is not accelerating when I hit the gas pedal. It jumps. I need help with this. Thank you

I was told I would need over $1,000 in repairs for bad engine and transmission mounts. It shuddered off and on the whole time I owned the car but it seemed to get worse in the last 3 years. Not sure how much of that is caused by a bad fuel and transmission system but it seems like there is one thing after another with the Ford Focus.

I have an automatic transmission. Driving down the road the transmission feels as though it just goes into neutral as if it were a manual. It's like driving a manual & kicking it out of gear while your foot is on the gas pedal. This cause the RPM's rise all the while the car is in neutral. The one thing I found to get it back on track is to tap the brake. This will make it go back into gear. It has been doing this for a couple of years but it seems to be getting worse and more frequent.

The vehicle believes a door (Driver's side in this case) is ajar when it is in fact completely latched. This issue is intermittent and repeats several times during a short (10 min) trip. When the issue occurs the vehicle unlocks all doors (central unlocking) and turns on the dome light. When it randomly thinks the door is shut it will lock all the doors and turn the light off. This process repeats at random intervals. Unlocking the doors while driving is dangerous, especially for those of us who have children. I have engaged the child locks as a mitigation step. The dome light coming on randomly at night creates a distraction and degrades driver visibility.

The transmission shuddering and slipping. The car has 160,000 miles

Upon accelerating the car vibrates and hesitates. I was almost hit entering an interstate due to this hesitation. It "feels" like it is slipping. I did return it to the place of purchase and they sent it to a Ford dealership. The used car lot indicated that Ford did a computer reset. It seemed better for a short bit, long enough for the computer to "relearn" driving habits and it began again, only worse this time.

Just got transmission recall fixed and having problems again

My transmission was fixed by a recall and it's still hesitating and shattering when I drive.

I had bought this car a little over a week ago and it has shown zero issues until yesterday June 17 2021, I was driving home when the car forced its self into neutral and the screen said transmission malfunction service now. I’ve called Ford and talked to them about the 14M02 recall/ campaign that was posted for this car and they said they’re unable to do anything because it’s out of the required parameters. I spent all my savings on this vehicle and now am out of a ride for work and I can’t even have a problem I didn’t create fixed? When they knew it was an issue.

The contact owns a 2012 FORD Focus. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, accelerating from an intersection, there was brake loss without warning intermittently. As a result, the contact crashed into the vehicle in front. No airbags deployed. The contact sustained a fractured right ankle. A police report was filed. Medical attention was required where the contact was taken to the hospital for treatment. The vehicle was towed by the police to a lot where it was awaiting an investigation from the contacts insurance company. The dealer informed the contact that no recalls were under the VIN. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 112,000

AS I GO DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SHOWS A "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND LOSSES ALL POWER, THE POWER TRAIN GOES DEATH. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIALLY WHEN YOURE TRAVELING ON A PRETTY LOADED HIGHWAY AT 78MPH. THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THAT STEERING WHEEL IS STILL ALIVE AND BRAKES TOO. I HAD 90% OF BATTERY LIFE AND IT WAS A HOT DAY OUT THERE AT 94F DEGREES. I DID NOT TAKE A PICTURE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BUT I HAVE THE MESSAGE I RECEIVED IN MY CELL PHONE.

WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF A PARKING LOT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ACCELERATING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, OR TAKING A RIGHT ON RED, THE CAR WILL START TO ACCELERATE AND THEN SUDDENLY AS IT TRY'S TO DOWNSHIFT, IT ACTS AS IF ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL, AND WONT ACCELERATE AT ALL. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BY OTHER MOVING VEHICLES. SOME GOING 50 MPH HAVE HAD TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES ON BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO FINISH ACCELERATING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. WHEN IT ISN'T DOING THAT, IT HAS JERKY/ ROUGH/ DOWNSHIFTS. IT ALSO VIBRATES WHEN I TRY TO SPEED UP AND SOMETIMES HAS A HESITATION AND THEN WILL KICK IN TO GEAR. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET HIT BY OTHER CARS IN MOTION MULTIPLE TIMES . ESPECIALLY TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC! I BROUGHT IT TO THE USED DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY DISCOVERED THERE WAS A COMMUNICATION ERROR CODE WITH THE TCM. THEY DID A SYSTEM RESET AND 24 HOURS LATER, IT WAS BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. AFTER DOING RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND THE RECALL DOES A FREE RESET FOR YOU. WELL, THIS DOES NOT FIX THE SAFETY ISSUE! IT ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO THEIR NEWER UPDATED MODEL THAT ISN'T DEFECTIVE LIKE THIS ONE. SO, THEIR CURRENT SAFETY RECALL DOES NOTHING. ALSO, OTHER RESEARCH SHOWED ME THAT FORD WENT THROUGH A GIANT LAWSUIT OVER THESE EXACT PROBLEMS IN 2016 AND ONE RESULT WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS OR 150K MILES. THIS DOESN'T HELP THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY OVER THE 150K MILES! THEIR SAFETY ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT! NEXT I'M CONTACTING THE BBB, ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE LOCAL NEW CHANNELS, AND THE GOVERNOR! THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO GETTING IT REPLACED!!!! NOT JUST RESET!! *RECALL 13V523000 *SOURCES OF MY INFORMATION: HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/ARTICLES/FORD-FOCUS-FIESTA-TRANSMISSION-SETTLEMENT-WHAT-OWNERS-SHOULD-KNOW-420135/

TRANSMISSION ISSUE FOR 2012 FORD FOCUS IS CODE PO7A3 A RECALL ITEM? TRANSMISSION ISSUE MAKES IT UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP STATES NOT A RECALL ITEM. BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM THEM REGARDING ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND I JUST WANT TO VERIFY IT IS NOT A COVERED RECALL REPAIR AS IT WILL BE COSTLY.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FOCUS AND THEN IT STARTED TO NOT SHIFT WHEN I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD WITH THE SPEED LIMIT 50 MPH AND GOING UP HILL. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED SHIFTING I ONLY WENT 20 MPH OR LESS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 64,500 MILES AND THE MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A BAD CLUTCH AND COMPUTER. THERE'S NO REASON FOR A CAR WITH THAT MANY MILES TO BREAK DOWN LIKE THAT EVEN IF IT'S 9 YEARS OLD. THERE'S A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION AND EVERYONE IS LETTING FORD GET AWAY WITH IT. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS, DOESN'T FORD MAKE ENOUGH MONEY. THEY SHOULD'VE AT LEAST GAVE ME THE WARRANTY FOR IT.

FIRST OFF, WHEN ACCELERATING, EVEN AFTER THE TRANSMISSION RECALLS WERE "FIXED", WE STILL HAVE VERY BAD JERKING AND SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. SECONDLY, THERE IS A CLANKING SOUND THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DRIVE OVER VERY SMALL BUMPS. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL HITTING METAL IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE TRUNK THAT COULD BE MAKING THAT NOISE, AND IS HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE CAR ALSO. PROBLEM CANNOT BE LOCATED BY MECHANICS OR MYSELF.

WHEN I GET IN MY CAR TO CRANK IT, THE KEY SWITCH SEEMS TO KILL THE BATTERY BUT WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN, THE BELL DINGS SO I KNOW THE BATTERY ISN'T DEAD. IF YOU WIGGLE THE KEY IN THE KEY SWITCH, IT SOMETIME WILL CRANK AND OTHERS IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING - LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD

NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IT THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT WAS TESTED AND THEIR WAS NO ISSUE, SO THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING NOW.

WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND YOU DEPRESS THE GAS PADDLE THE RPMS WILL RACE ALL THE WAY UP THEN PLUMMIT.WHILE DRIVING THERE IS NO POWER .WHEN DRIVING AN INCLINE OR HILL THE GAS PADDLE HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND STILL LOSES SPEED .THE CAR SHAKES AND THE STEERING IS ERRATIC. ONE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES IN WHICH THE STEREO MUTES UNLESS THE SEATBELTS ARE CLICKED IN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION NO LONGER WORKS THE FORD MOTOR CERTIFIED MECHANICS OR TECHNICIANS REFUSE TO HONOR THE.

IVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SINCE I 1ST GOT THE CAR. IN THE BEGINNING IT WOULD LIKE A COUPLE MINUTES AND THEN BE FINE. I NOTICED IT WHEN IT WAS SUPER COLD OR EVEN JUST KIND OF COLD. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN THE WEATHER WAS FINE AND THE STEERING WAS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN. ID HAVE ISSUES IN THE MORNING BY THE TIME I LEFT THE PARKING LOT IT WAS FINE AND WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AFTER WORK THE SAME THING (WITH IN A FEW MINUTES WAS FINE). I'VE TAKEN MY CAR IN MANY TIMES BUT THEY COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT AN ISSUE. NOW ITS 2020 AND ITS BEEN "OUT" SINCE THURSDAY TODAY IS MONDAY AND I JUST HAD IT TOWED TO THE CAR DEALER SHIP. EVERY TIME THIS ISSUES OCCURRED MY CAR WAS IN PART I NEVER GOT A WARNING MESSAGE UNTIL TODAY. IVE ALWAYS BEEN AT HOME OR AT WORK WHERE MY CAR HAS SAT FOR A FEW HOURS

WHEN I MAKE A STOP AND TRY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, I FEEL VIBRATIONS, LOST OF POWER. I DID NOT KNOW THAT FORD RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I JUST CALLED BUT FORD REFUSE TO FIX. THE AGENT TO WHOM I SPOKE, SAID THAT THE MILEAGE IS ABOVE 100 000 MILES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 173 000 MILES BUT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR LONG TIME.

WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING FROM 0 MPH, THE CAR WILL STRUGGLE TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT CONSTANTLY JUMPS AND JERKS BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS NEWLY LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT IS SHIFTING THE CAR. AS AN AUTOMATIC, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME THE COMPUTER HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED.

Mileage: 148,000

I LITTLE WHILE AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2012, IT BEGAN SHUTTERING UPON ACCELERATION. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY RAN THEIR COMPUTER TEST WHICH CONFIRMS THERE IS A SHUDDER. HOWEVER, "IT IS NOT OCCURRING FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY FIXING IT" ACCORDING TO THE FORD CORPORATE OFFICE, WHO I SPOKE WITH LAST YEAR SOME TIME. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE KNOWN IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FOCUS 2012. OR I WOULD ACCEPT FINANCIAL COMPENSATION TO BE PUT TOWARDS A SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE.

I WAS IN A LANE BEGINNING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WAS TO MY LEFT AND DID NOT SEE ME IN THEIR BLIND SPOT TRYING TO MERGE RIGHT TOO EARLY. THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE NOT ALLOWING ME TO BE ABLE TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS. IF MY HORN WORKED I COULD HAVE ALERTED THE DRIVER THAT A CAR WAS IN THEIR BLIND SPOT. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT I'D RATHER ONE NOT HAPPEN PERIOD. MY HORN HAS BEEN GOING IN AND OUT FOR QUITE A WHILE. I HAVE CHANGED THE FUSE A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES AND GOT THE PLUGS CHECKED. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. THIS CAR ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THIS HORN ISSUE. ALSO, I CAN NOT PASS VEHICLE INSPECTION DUE TO MY HORN NOT WORKING AND THE SECURITY SOUND NOT SOUNDING WHEN IT IS BEING LOCKED.

Mileage: 107,584

RADIO RANDOMLY SCREECHES AT A VERY HIGH FREQUENCY. SOUNDS LIKE A GUN SHOT AT FIRST THEN EAR PIERCING SCREECHING. EVEN DOES IT WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. SEEMS TO MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY DAY. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS NOISE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. WHEN YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF THE NOISE CONTINUES. EVEN CONTINUES AFTER REMOVING THE KEY AND LOCKING THE DOORS.

Mileage: 29,454

CAR SHUTTERED MID TRAFFIC LIGHT SO I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT JERKED BACK INTO SPEED AND I WAS GOING UNDER A HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE AND STARTED JERKING AGAIN SO I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND REALIZED THAT I COULD NOT REVERSE EITHER.

MY CAR IS A FORD FOCUS 2012 I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE . I LOST SPEED WHILE I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY .MY CAR WAS FINE ALL WEEK I RAN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM NO LIGHT APPEAR AT THE DASHBOARD .WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELARATE IN THE HIGHWAY A MESSAGE APPEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME TRANSMISSION MALFUCTION.

I REPORTED ABOUT A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAIN/RECALL LIKE 2-3MOS FROM NOW BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE IT'S LIKE NO REPLY OR ACTIONS COMING FROM YOU BECAUSE I JUST WANNA KNOW IF FOR SOME REASONS IT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR FOR A RECALL OR SOMETHING IN YOUR SYSTEM OR I STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT? I HAVE A CAR THAT I BELIEVE A LATCHKEY/LOCKED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS BROKE BECAUSE WHENEVER I'M DRIVING FROM 30-50 MPH IT'S KEEP ON OPENING THE DOOR AND ESP. WHEN TURNING THAT'S WHY I PUT SOME DUCT TAPE ON IT JUST TO PREVENT FROM OPENING BY ITSELF. I JUST HOPE YOU CAN DO IMMEDIATE ACTION FOR THIS KIND OF MATTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON!

THREE WEEKS AFTER BUYING MY BRAND NEW 2012 FORD FOCUS, THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE ON THE HIGHWAY. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A FORD PROBLEM AND NOT THEIRS. THE FOLLOWING MONTH, I ALMOST DIED IN THE CAR. A REGIONAL MANAGER FROM FORD CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH ME, RESOLVED NOTHING. I FOLLOWED LEMON LAW PROTOCOL AND DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING THROUGH THE SERVICE DEPT. MORE THAN 12 VISITS. FOUR VISITS BEFORE THE NEAR FATAL CRASH AND THE REMAINDER AFTERWARDS. FORD RAN OUT THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON MY VEHICLE SO THEY DID NOT HAVE TO PAY ME. THE VEHICLE HAS A PROPENSITY OF TURNING OFF WHEN ACCELERATING TO 65 MPH. WHEN MAKING A TURN OR U-TURN THE CAR HESITATES. FORD ADMITTED TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND STILL WOULD NOT PUT ME IN MY ORIGINAL POSITION WHICH HAS LEFT ME WITH DISC DISPLACEMENTS BENEATH MY BRAIN STEM. I HAVE CHRONIC NECK PAIN EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO TURN. A WHITE UTILITY VAN FLEW OUT OF THE LANE TO TRY TO BEAT THE LIGHT AS I WAS TURNING. THE CAR TURNED OFF AND I HAD TO BRACE FOR IMPACT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. TWO ADDITIONAL MALFUNCTIONS CAUSED THE CAR TO VEER LEFT AND CRASH INTO CURBS. LAST WEEK, I HAD TO MAKE A U-TURN. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME. WHILE TURNING, THE CAR HESITATED, AND THE CAR WAS STOPPING, THE WAY IT DID IN 2012. I WAS ALMOST KILLED BY AN 18-WHEELER WHO THOUGHT I WAS INITIATING ROAD RAGE. HE THEN FOLLOWED ME AND RAN ME OFF THE ROAD COMING ONE INCH TO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I TRIED TO TAKE PICTURES, BUT MY HAND WAS TREMBLING. FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE AT THE REPLACEMENT VALUE FROM JULY OF 2012 AND OBEY THE VA LEMON LAW STATUTE. FORD OFFERED ME A BUY OUT OF $8,000 IN DECEMBER 2018. I HAD TO LAY OUT $14,000 FOR A NEW VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE CREDITED ALL OF MY CAR PAYMENTS $17K, AND PROVIDED A SETTLEMENT FOR PERMANENT SPINE AND NECK INJURIES. ACCOUNTABILITY IS DEMANDED.

Mileage: 4,600

THE TRANSMISSION RACES AND STAY THERE THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ONLY LASTED A YEAR AND THREE MONTHS NOW FORD DOES'NT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THEY KNOWINGLY KNEW THERE TRANSMISSION WERE FAULTY. NOW THEY WANT ME TO COME OUT POCKET $611 TO PUT ANOTHER BAD TRANSMISSION IN.

WHILE DRIVING FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC, CAR ALERTED ME TO STOP SAFELY NOW, WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. TYPICALLY THIS OCCURS WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND IT WAS UNEXPECTED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALER WHILE WORKING WITH FORD DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS DRIVING AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON WATT AVE AND THE CAR WENT FROM 45MILES TO 0 IN SECONDS ON A GREEN LIGHT AND I GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME,WAS BARELY MOVING A LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR SAYING 'TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW'

WHEN I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER FOR MY VEHICLE IT SAID THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE?? I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE SEVERAL MANUFACTURING RECALL PROBLEMS ADDRESSED!!?? I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER ABOUT THE CLUTCH PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE! WHY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING? WHY DOES YOUR SYSTEM NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THIS VEHICLE DIES HAVE RECALLS! HOW CAN ZI GET A LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER SO HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING!

TAKATA RECALL MY 2012 FORD FOCUS IS HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I CAN NOT DRIVE OVER 60 IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ REPORTS AND CALLED FORD AND NO ONE WILL TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR WILL SMOKE AND OVER HEAT. I AM NOT ABLE TO CUT THE CAR ON FOR 10 MINS AND ALL OF MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS APPEAR. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD TO GET A NEW FORM OF TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE OF IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

HAD 2 ISSUES WITH DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION SINCE BUYING THE VEHICLE. CLUTCH WAS REPLACED ON MAY 13TH, 2019 FOR MY 2012 FORD FOCUS. I WAS STUCK ON THE HIGHWAY TWICE FOR THIS OCCURRENCE WITH THE VEHICLE JERKING WHILE IN MOTION THEN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON AND THE CAR STALLING OUT. THE VEHICLE THEN CAME TO A STOP AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS 2667.46 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. THE PREVIOUS TIME WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE BUT WAS FIXED WITH NO ISSUES.

Mileage: 83,550

MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN WORKED ON 3 TIMES NOW. IT'S BEEN A BURNT CLUTCH TWICE AND THE THIRD WAS A RECALL THEY FIXED ON THE TRANSMISSION. AND NOW FOR A 4TH TIME, I NEED TO TAKE MY CAR IN TO BE WORKED ON BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR WON'T GO IN REVERSE. SOMETIMES IT WILL BEGIN TO GO FORWARD INSTEAD OF BACKWARDS. WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE FROM PARK, I CAN HEAR THE GEARS GRIND. THE CAR SHUDDERS AND JERKS LIKE IT USUALLY DOES. BUT INSTEAD OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE LIGHT COMING LIKE IT DID THE FIRST THREE TIMES, NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON BUT I KNOW THIS IS THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENED 3 TIMES BEFORE. EACH TIME MY CAR HAS BROKE DOWN BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION, I WAS ON POPULATED ROADS AND I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 77,210

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 15 MINUTES WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THAT TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION, PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. FORD SAYS IT'S THE COMPUTER BUT WILL NOT FIX THIS. THIS WAS ON A CITY STREET GOING 50 MPH. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE IF SHE HAD BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. 2012 FORD FOCUS, 117,000 MILES.

Mileage: 117,000

THE RADIO IN MY 2012 FORD FOCUS SE HAS MALFUNCTIONED. WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN STATIC. IT WAS SO LOUD IT SCARED ME AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES, EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. UPON CHECKING SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW 2012 FORD FOCUS VEHICLES. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING IS TO REMOVE THE FUSE FOR THE RADIO FROM THE FUSE BOX LOCATED UNDER THE GLOVE BOX ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS REFUSED TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AT THEIR COST AND I FULLY BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE LOUDNESS OF THE POPPING AND CRACKING. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A RADIO IN MY CAR FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH SOME AUDIO EXPERTS, THE ONLY SUGGESTED SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE HEAD UNIT FOR THE RADIO. THESE COST MORE THAN $200.00 ALONE, NOT INCLUDING THE LABOR TO INSTALL THE HEAD UNIT.

Mileage: 98,000

VEHICLE LOST TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING UPHILL ON A 45 MPH ROADWAY, IN JUNE 2014. VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. WHEN YOU STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET SIT FOR SEVERAL MOMENTS. ONCE STARTED VEHICLE WAS OPERABLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASSION TRANSMISSION WAS AGAIN NOT OPERATING PROPERLY AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE . THIS HAPPENED ON A 55 MPH HIGHWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED VEHICLE TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, SINCE VEHICLE WOULD NOT FUNTION PROPERTY (SEPT. 2014). IN AUGUST 2015 MOTOR VEHICLE WOULD "JUMP" ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. IN AUGUST 2017, THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT WAS ON. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A 55 MPH HIGHWAY, ALMOST CAUSING A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. I WAS FORCED TO PAY $484.17 TO FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, WHEN IN FACT REPAIRS WERE DUE TO FAULTY TRANSMISSION, WHICH FORD KNEW ABOUT.

Mileage: 58,230

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, THE CAR STARTED TO SHUTTER AND WOULDN'T ADVANCE OUT OF FIRST GEAR. WE WERE TURNING A CORNER. SHUDDER, TRANSMISSION SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON.

Mileage: 98,000

WHEN I PUT MY GEAR IN REVERSE, SOMETIMES MY CAR JERKS AND REVERSE FASTER THAN IT SHOULD OR OTHER TIMES THE CAR WOULD IDLE, I WOULD SEE THE RPM GOING UP AND HEAR THE RPM BUT THE CAR DOESNT MOVE. I'D HAVE TO HIT BRAKE AND TRY TO REVERSE AGAIN. WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND TRY TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE EITHER JERKS OR JUST TAKES OFF. THE PROBLEM ALMOST HAPPENS EVERY TIME. OR WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR WOULD JERK OR SHUDDER. WHENEVER I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY JUST TELL ME THE SHUDDER/JERKS ARE IN THEIR NORMAL RANGE READING AND BASICALLY TELLS ME THAT IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO DO. ALL THE SHUDDERING, JERKING, AND BEING HESITANT HAPPENS MOSTLY STARTING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, LIKE AT A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2016 AUGUST, AS A USED CAR. I'VE HAD TO GET A NEW CLUTCH, AND REPLACE THE NEW ONE BECAUSE IT WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY.

Mileage: 126,000

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM FORD OF KIRKLAND IN WASHINGTON STATE IN 2016, AND NOTICED DRIVING ISSUES THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. THIS VEHICLE HAS A DPS6 TRANSMISSION AND IT CONSTANTLY JERKS, SHUDDERS AND SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. IT OFTEN FAILS TO ACCELERATE OR ACCELERATES SUDDENLY AND OUT OF CONTROL, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UPHILL. IT ALSO FREQUENTLY OVERHEATS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IDLING, DESPITE HAVING WORK DONE ON IT SEVERAL TIMES THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO ME, AND THE DPS6 IS NOT AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AT ALL. I ALSO FREQUENTLY HAVE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL AND RADIO SYSTEM. THE CLOCK CHANGES RANDOMLY AND THE AUDIO SWITCHES UNEXPECTEDLY TO RADIO STATIONS FROM BLUE TOOTH WHILE DRIVING AND THEN FAILS TO SWITCH BACK TO ANY BLUE TOOTH DEVICE, SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL DAYS UNTIL IT RANDOMLY BEGINS WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS ESPECIALLY PROBLEMATIC WHEN I AM RELYING ON AUDIO DIRECTIONS FROM NAVIGATION APPS THAT ARE PAIRED FROM MY CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY FORD OF KIRKLAND SERVICE CENTER THAT THERE IS "NOTHING WRONG" WITH MY TRANSMISSION OR MY VEHICLE AND THAT I'M JUST NOT DRIVING IT "CORRECTLY," WHICH MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. THIS VEHICLE AND ITS FAULTY TRANSMISSION ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DO NOT LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY AND I ONLY DRIVE IT MYSELF IN TIMES WHERE IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, WHICH I CAN PROVE BY THE VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF MILES I HAVE PUT ON IT SINCE PURCHASE. I EXPERIENCE THE ABOVE STATED PROBLEMS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE IT THIS VEHICLE, WHICH IS A CLEARLY A LEMON BY DEFINITION. FORD BROKE THE LAW BY SELLING ME THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT THEY KNEW WAS UNSAFE AND BY FALSELY ADVERTISING THIS TRANSMISSION AS AN AUTOMATIC.

I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND IN THE LEFT LANE ON I-495 FROM MD INTO VA, ABOUT TO GET TO THE EZ PASS CAMERA. I SELDOM USE THE PASS, THEREFORE IT IS NOT AFFIXED TO THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD PLACED IT ON THE DASHBOARD IN ANTICIPATION OF THE UPCOMING CAMERA. TRAFFIC WAS ALTERNATELY SLOWING DOWN AND SPEEDING UP TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE DRIVER AHEAD OF ME SUDDENLY SLOWED NEARLY TO A STOP, SO I PRESSED MY BRAKES, WHICH CAUSED THE EZ PASS TO SLIDE ACROSS THE DASHBOARD AND UP AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD. UNABLE TO REACH IT WITH MY SEATBELT ON, AND BECAUSE THE CAR WAS BARELY MOVING, I UNFASTENED THE SEAT BELT TO RETRIEVE THE PASS. AT THE SAME TIME THE DRIVER AHEAD OF ME SLIGHTLY INCREASED HER SPEED, THEN SUDDENLY SLOWED AGAIN, WHICH I DID, TOO. HOWEVER, THIS TIME I HAD TO PUNCH THE BRAKE. IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, MY CAR SPED UP, AND I WAS UNABLE TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE CAR AHEAD. IT WAS SUCH A HELPLESS FEELING TO TRY AND STOP AND HAVE NO BRAKES! A "CRASH MODE" MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON SCREEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE SYNC SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY DIALED 911. THE OTHER DRIVER GOT OUT OF HER CAR AND WALKED BACK TO ASK IF I WAS OKAY. I WAS FINE, BUT BECAUSE TRAFFIC IN THE RIGHT LANE WAS SPEEDING PAST, AND SOME CARS WERE EVEN PASSING US ON THE SHOULDER, I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR. EVENTUALLY THE STATE POLICE, EMTS AND A TOW-TRUCK ARRIVED. MY STEERING NO LONGER WORKED, BUT ONCE THE OTHER CAR WAS TOWED OUT OF THE WAY THE RESPONDING OFFICER WAS ABLE TO WALK ALONGSIDE MY CAR, PUSHING IT ONTO THE SHOULDER WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO STEER. THE TOW DRIVER TOOK OVER FROM THERE. I RODE WITH HIM BACK TO MD TO THE BODY SHOP OF THE FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2011 AND HAVE HAD ALL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND PREVIOUS CLUTCH ISSUES ADDRESSED. IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR A MONTH. I ASKED IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF THAT.

TRANSMISSION CLUTCH AND TCM RECALL I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF MY 2012 FORD FOCUS S, I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST OF 2018. 6 MONTHS LATER, THE CAR STARTED CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING 50+MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT AND CARS FLYING BEHIND US. I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE TCM, THEY REPROGRAMMED SOMETHING, AND REPLACED A CANISTER PURGE VALVE, GOT THE CAR BACK A COUPLE WEEKS LATER, IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH FOR $1,090. NOW HERE WE ARE 5 MONTHS LATER AND MY CAR IS SHIFTING SO HARD AND HESITATING LIKE I AM A 10 YEAR OLD TRYING TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT. IT'S HESITATING WHEN I TAKE OFF AND WHILE I'M TRYING TO SLOWLY TAKE OFF THE RPM JUMPS TO 4 AND 5 AND MY CAR JUST TAKES OFF CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND TWO RECALLS..... THE TCM AND THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH ! BOTH EXTENDED WARRANTY'S. 150,000 MILES OR 10 YEARS FROM THE WARRANTY START DATE, WHICH EVER COMES FIRST.. AND GUESS WHAT? I'M AT 163,000. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS AGO THEY WANTED $150 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM? THE PROBLEM IS THE RECALL'S THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH MY VEHICLE, I DON'T GET WHY THE MILEAGE MATTERS.... IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM IT WAS BEFORE I EVEN REACHED 150,000. I HATE HAVING TO PUT MY DAUGHTER IN THIS VEHICLE.

I WILL TELL EVERYONE IN EARSHOT IF ME A THAT EVENS MENTIONS CONSIDERING BUYING A FORD TO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUT THAT BRAND. FORD HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE RATINGS EVER! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOING THERE RESEARCH BEFORE EVEN WAITING THERE TIME TO GO TO A FORD DEALERSHIP!! BIGGEST RIP OFF CAR COMPANY BY FAR!! THUS PROBLEM NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED AND FORD SHOULD OF STEPPED UP AND DONE THE RITE THING BY ITS CUSTOMERS!! NEVER AGAIN!! I WILL BE TELLING EVERYONE WHAT A RIP OFF YOU PEOPLE ARE!!

MY CAR HORN WOULD PERIODICALLY GO OUT THEN ONE DAY IT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, I DISCOVERED THIS WHEN I TRIED TO WARN A TRUCK THAT I WAS IN A LANE THE TRUCK DECIDED TO MERGE INTO. I FIRST TOOK IT TO FORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED HOWEVER THEY NEVER COMPLETED THIS REPAIR FOR ME. I THEN GOT MY HORN REPLACED AT A FIRESTONE WHERE MY SERVICE ADVISER INFORMED ME THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THEY REALLY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG BESIDES THE HORN SYSTEM. THEY STATED "HAVE POWER ALL THE WAY TO THE HORN WHEN PUSHING BUTTON ON WHEEL." SO THEY HAD TO REMOVE AND REPLACE HORN ASSEMBLY. I MENTIONED THIS TO A FORD SERVICE ADVISER, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "OH YEAH SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS WITH THE FORD HORNS A SPRING BREAKS." LIKE IT WAS COMMON AND COMMON KNOWLEDGE. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IN NY YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A WORKING HORN FOR ANY INSPECTION DUE TO SAFETY. HORNS ARE ESSENTIAL TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND PREVENT PEOPLE FROM MERGING, BACKING INTO YOUR VEHICLE ETC. THE FACT THAT FORD SERVICE KNOWS THE PROBLEM AS COMMON KNOWLEDGE SCARES AND INFURIATES ME. I WAS LUCKY AND DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH I HAD A CLOSE CALL WHERE IF THEIR WASN'T A SHOULDER TO RIDE ON A TRUCK WOULD OF MERGED INTO MY VEHICLE SINCE MY HORN HAD SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING.

UNSURE WHAT IS WRONG. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN 2 TWICE FOR A SHUDDER, JERKING, AND HARD SHIFTING. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE HARD SHIFTING FOR A COST, BUT THE SHUDDERING WITH NEVER GOT FIXED HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVEN BEFORE THEY RESET OR REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. IT SHUDDERS GOING UP STEP HILLS, AND AT TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, AND WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND WE SHOULDN'T BE ALARMED. HOWEVER AFTER DRIVING EVERY DAY FOR A LIVING, THIS DOESN'T FEEL OR SOUND CORRECT, ITS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE.

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REPEATED ISSUES OVER THE PAST 7 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUDDERED UPON ACCELERATION FOR MANY YEARS. A TRANSMISSION RECALL SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED TO SHUDDER AND ALSO STRUGGLED GOING UPHILL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GOING UP EVEN A MODERATE INCLINE AND WOULD BEGIN TO SHUDDER AND "REV UP". I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY UP AN INCLINE WHEN THE VEHICLE STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE, BEGAN SHUDDERING, AND THE ENGINE BECAME LOUD. I HAD TO MOVE OVER INTO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND SLOWLY MAKE MY WAY UP THE INCLINE TRAVELING WELL BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH THAT NEEDED REPLACED. WHEN I QUESTIONED IF THIS WAS RELATED TO ALL OF THE OTHER SHUDDERING PROBLEMS AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD OVER THE YEARS, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AND TOLD THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE REPAIRS. A SECONDARY AUTO SHOP SUGGESTED THAT I REACH OUT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AS THEY BELIEVED THAT THE NEED FOR THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT AND PROBLEMS COULD EASILY BE RELATED TO PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE FORD CORPORATION WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION, OTHER THAN DOCUMENTING THE INCIDENT IN MY FILE.

I WAS NOT ABLE TO LEAVE HOME FOR WORK TODAY. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE TIME CHANGES I THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES BACK TO THE CORRECT TIME. ALSO IN THE PAST SOMETIMES IN WOULD NOT START. I WOULD WAIT A WHILE AND THEN IT WOULD START. IT HAS NOT DONE THAT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012. THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

HAD JUST TURNED ONTO OUR RURAL STREET, DOING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP/EXPLOSION. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. REMOVING THE TIRE, 1/3-1/2 OF THE SIDEWALL NEXT TO THE RIM HAD BLOWN OUT IN A LINE AROUND THE TIRE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DEXTERO TIRES, ON JUST THIS TYPE OF BLOW OUT, BUT NOT ON THIS SPECIFIC SIZE, WHICH IS A 195-65R15. RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND OTHERS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THESE SHOULD BE ON A RECALL AS WELL. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TURNOUT OF THIS HAD IT HAPPENED DRIVING 75 MPH, AS WE DO EVERYDAY ON THE HIGHWAY. THESE TIRES ARE ON A 2012 FORD FOCUS. BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEN SEEING THE RECALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE DEXTERO TIRES, I FEEL IT IS IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. THIS SHOULD BE AT THEIR EXPENSE! WE DO HAVE PICTURES, AND CAN SEND THEM TO YOU IF NEEDED.

AFTER I PUT FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK AND TRY TO START THE CAR HESITATES LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT. I JUST GOT IT AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP, FUEL TANK, AND DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE PCM. AND ALSO REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE. AFTER FUELING THE CAR IS THE ONLY TIME THE HESITATION IS NOTICED AFTER THAT IT STARTS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FUEL IS PUT IN. THE 2ND THING THAT IS HAPPENING IS THERE IS WATER IN THE TRUNK UNDER THE SPARE TIRE. IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND THE WATER IS EVEN WITH THE SPARE. WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT FORD HAS BASICALLY WASHED THEIR HANDS OF ME AND MY CAR SINCE I SETTLED WITH THEM ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION. I AM HAVING AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP TO TRY AND FIND WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. BUT I DO THINK FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SUCH A LEMON. I STILL OWE OVER $8,000 ON THIS VEHICLE NOW I AM HAVING TO DO REPAIRS ON IT ALSO.

I WAS STARTLED AND TRYING TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DUE TO THE DISTRACTION FROM THE NOISES, NEITHER DID I FLICK THE TURNING SIGNAL NOR DID I HEAR THE HONKING FROM THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME.

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO, WHILE DRIVING, MY RADIO MADE A VERY LOUD POP SIMILAR TO A GUNSHOT NOISE, THEN STOPPED PLAYING MUSIC AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THIS WOULD HAPPEN PERIODICALLY. IN ABOUT THE PAST 2 WEEKS IT HAS HAPPENED MORE AND MORE OFTEN, AND NOW THE RADIO WILL NOT TURN ON AT ALL. THE NOISE COMING FROM THE SPEAKER HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. IT NOW CRACKLES, BOOMS, MAKES HIGH PITCHED NOISES, SOME OF WHICH ARE EXTREMELY LOUD. THESE NOISES NOW HAPPEN ALL THE TIME- WHEN THE CAR IS ON AND IN DRIVE (ANY SPEED), STOPPED, IN PARK, AND EVEN HAPPEN WHEN IT IS COMPLETELY OFF, NO KEY IN THE IGNITION AT ALL. BEING SOMEONE WHO SCARES EASILY, THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT IF IT HAPPENED AT THE RIGHT MOMENT, THESE LOUD NOISES WOULD CAUSE ME TO CRASH. THERE IS NO RECALL AND I CANNOT FIND ANY INFORMATION WHERE FORD EVEN ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH A QUICK SEARCH ON GOOGLE SHOWS THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM HAPPENING WITH MANY FOCUSES AND SIMILAR MODELS. I HAVE VIDEO RECORDINGS BUT UNFORTUNATELY CANNOT FIGURE OUT A FORMAT THAT WILL WORK TO UPLOAD THEM HERE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND THEM ANOTHER WAY IF WHO EVER RECEIVES THIS COMPLAINT WOULD LIKE.

WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC GOING UNDER 40MPH THE RPM STAGGERS BETWEEN 1-2000 RPM IT'S JUST UNSAFE AND WORRISOME AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY FORD! I'VE READY SERVAL DIFFERENT BLOGS WITH VARIOUS CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! IT WOULD BE SAD FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEHIND THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD WON'T ADDRESS AND HANDLE THE ISSUE

TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH THIS CAR HAS STOPPED RUNNING, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THE MOST RECENT TIME, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING BACK TO SCHOOL IN LUBBOCK, TX GOING 80 MPH WHEN IT SHUTDOWN. SHE TRIED TO PULL OVER BUT ALMOST WRECKED DUE TO THE FACT SHE HAD NO POWER BRAKES. I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS ON THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE SAME THING SHE HAD HAPPEN TO HER. WHEN SHE TOOK IT INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY OF COURSE COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE HER A LOANER OR RENTAL CAR DURING THE TIME IT TOOK THEM TO LOOK AT IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE WITH FORD NOT HAVING A FIX. AT THIS POINT, IF I WASN'T UPSIDE DOWN ON THE CAR, I WOULD TRADE IT IN ON SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND IT WOULDN'T BE A FORD. I DIGRESS.

TAKATA INFLATORS: THIS VEHICLE IN THE "DRIVE GEAR" LUNGES WHEN GAS IS PRESSED AND QUICKLY TAKES OFF AT THE SLIGHTEST PRESS OF GAS MAKING FOR A DANGEROUS TAKE OFF FROM STOP LIGHTS AND TRAFFIC SIGNS WHILE ON MAJOR ROADWAYS. THIS VEHICLE WHEN PLACED IN THE "PARK GEAR" JERKS WHEN PLACED IN PARK AND FEELS AS IF IT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE IN PARKING LOTS OR HOME DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPORTED MULTIPLE TIMES TO FORD DEALER FOR ASSESSMENT AND/OR REPAIR AS "SHAKING" AND "SHIMMIES" WHILE DRIVING, TO PREVENT THIS FEELING, THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS USED OFTEN. ONCE, THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY ROLLED BACKWARDS IN THE THE "DRIVE" GEAR BUT WAS IDENTIFIED AS A DEFECT AND REPAIRED BY A FORD DEALER. WHEN PLACED IN "DRIVE" AT THAT TIME IT WAS SHOWING ON THE DASH AS IN "PARK". THIS TOO WAS CORRECTED BY FORD DEALER BY REPLACING TCM. ALTHOUGH REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE, IT CONTINUES TO OFTEN SHAKE AND SHIMMY APPEARING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES. AS OWNER, I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE LATEST RECALL PART PRIOR TO MY WARRANTY EXPIRING WHICH MAY HAVE FURTHER RESOLVED SOME OF THE LINGERING ISSUES. TCM HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE CLUTCH REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE,OR TCM REPROGRAMMED DURING MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE FORD DEALER.

I FEEL UNSAFE NOW WHEN DRIVING FOR EXTENDED LENGTHS OF TIME, AND AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS MIGHT HAPPEN WHEN ON A HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHILE ACCELERATING ON HIGHER SPEED ROADS AND HIGHWAYS AT HIGHER SPEEDS, USUALLY 40-70 MPH RANGE AND MOSTLY WHEN ON A LONG TRIP W/O STOPPING, EXCEPT FOR GAS.

I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY FORD DEALER, TODAY IS 6/13/17. THEY CANNOT GET ME IN TO SEE THE VEHICLE UNTIL 6/19/17. WHILE THE AC IS ON, THE VEHICLE ALWAYS HAD ISSUES ACCELERATING ON AN SLIGHT INCLINE. I JUST ALWAYS ASSUMED THAT IT WAS JUST THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS BUT IT APPEARS THAT IT WAS JUST A SYMPTOM OF AN ISSUE THAT HAS SHOWN UP LATER ON.

I WENT TO GET MY OIL CHANGED SOMEPLACE OTHER THAN MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND SINCE, THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING ODDLY. MOSTLY ISSUES WITH ACCELERATING AFTER SITTING AT A RED LIGHT ON ROADS WHERE THE SPEED IS ANYWHERE FROM 35 TO 45 MPH. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT I NOTICED IT ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE OIL CHANGE. THE OTHER ISSUE, THAT IS MORE CAUSE FOR ALARM, IS THAT THE DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY. FIRST IT WAS THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR, THEN THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND FINALLY THE DRIVER REAR DOOR. ALL WHILE STATIONARY, THANK GOODNESS. SINCE THEN, ALL BUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR HAVE BEEN SECURED WITH BUNGEE CORDS FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS, BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPLACE THE DOOR LATCHES. ONE OF WHICH HAD BEEN REPLACED ONLY LAST YEAR AND COST ME NEARLY $500 BECAUSE THE PART HADN'T BEEN ON RECALL! I THEN FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SAID PARTS THAT BEGAN IN JANUARY 2017 BUT I HAVE YET TO BE NOTIFIED BY MY DEALERSHIP! I ONLY NOTICED BECAUSE I WANTED TO SEE -IF- THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL DUE TO HEARING ABOUT A FEW OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. SEE PHOTOS OF BUNGEE CORDED DOORS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THOSE WHO OWN THIS SAME MODEL OF CAR SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IMMEDIATELY OF A RECALL, NOT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN HAD I NOT THOUGHT OF DOING MY OWN RESEARCH. I MAY NEVER HAD KNOWN IF I WAS WAITING ON MY DEALERSHIP TO NOTIFY ME... I MAY HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE IF I HAD WAITED ON THEM.

I AM RECEIVING "ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM" ERROR MESSAGES AS MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS. FORTUNATELY, EACH TIME IT HAS BEEN WHEN I FIRST START MY VEHICLE AND PREPARE TO MOVE.

I HAVE HAD STARTER ISSUES, RECALL 15B22 TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, SILENT RECALL FOR SEAL LEAK, CAR REVVING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND PERIODIC DISPLAY DISAPPEARANCE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AS I LOVE THE WAY THE CAR HANDLES AND I GET 40+ MPG ON THE HIGHWAY BUT AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT TAKING ANY TRIPS OR DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AS I HAVE READ THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE CAN OCCUR WHILE IN MOTION.

AUDIO CONTROL MODULE(RADIO) IT DOES NOT WORK. IT HAS NOTHING BUT STATIC NOISES COMING OUT AND THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD. THIS AFFECTS WHAT IS WRONG AND THERE IS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS. TO GET IT FIXED IT WILL COST OVER $800 TO FIX IT. IF YOU LOOK THE RADIOS HAVE BEEN BAD IN FOCUS,FEISTA,FUSION & TAURUS FROM 2008 TO 2013. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOW THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR IT. SINCE IT IS ELECTRICAL IT COULD EFFECT OTHER PARTS OF THE SYSTEM. THEY TOLD US TO PUT AN AFTER MARKET RADIO SYSTEM IN AND THAT WILL STILL COST OVER $700. I AM LIFE TIME FORD BUYER AND NOW I FILL DUPED FROM THEM.

SHUTTERING TRANSMISSION - BROUGHT IN TO FORD TO HAVE SERVICED BECAUSE THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED BUT MY CAR HAD ALREADY PASSED THE MILAGE LIMIT. I HAD GONE IN PREVIOUSLY COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SHUTTER AND WAS INFORMED IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION IT WAS. NOW THAT THERE IS AN ACTUAL PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION I NOW NO LONGER QUALITY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT DISCOVERED UNTIL I PASSED 100,000 KM

UPON DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY - THE TRANSMISSION WILL RANDOMLY NOT SHIFT CAUSING THE CAR TO REV UP HIGH WHILE OTHER TIMES THE CAR WILL SIMPLY REFUSE TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS IS BEING PRESSED. THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHAKE, SHUDDER, AND MAKE NOISE UPON ACCELERATING AND CHANGING GEARS. WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN AND THE CAR IS AT A COMPLETE STOP - THE TRANSMISSION WILL OFTEN DISENGAGE AND THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE WAS FIRMLY PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. UPON LANE CHANGES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL RANDOMLY REFUSE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR AT ALL.

WELL MY CAR HAD 98,329 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT AT CITY AUTO IN MEMPHIS, TN. I HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING ABOUT THE RECALL AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER---THE LADY AT FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE CHECKED THIS OUT AND TOLD ME THAT "NO" I WASN'T IN THEIR SYSTEM FOR THIS RECALL LETTER. SO NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS WANTING ME TO PAY $2033 FOR REPAIRS DUE TO THE 1ST RECALL. THE FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE (2 OF THEM) TOLD ME TO CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SEE IF HE HAS ANY RESOURCES. I CALLED HIM TWICE YESTERDAY...NO ANSWER EITHER TIME. SO WHEN THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME MY CAR WAS READY, HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TO PULL THE SERVICE MANAGER OUT OF A MEETING TO DESCRIBE MY DILEMMA, WHICH WAS TO NO AVAIL. THEY SAID THAT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE PAYMENT.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HAS A TRANSMISSION CLUTCH DEFECT.. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN A RATTLE NOISE, DURING LOW GEARS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS OFF AND ON, VEHICLE STALLS AS YOUR DRIVING, SPEEDOMETER GOES UP WHEN YOU ARE IN PARK, AND IT CAUSES THE CAR TO "FLUTTER" IN AND OUT LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD THE DEFECT FIXED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES.. I AM NOW HAVING TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED FOR THE FOURTH TIME. I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK FROM BEING FIXED AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. THAT SAME DAY OF PICKING UP MY CAR MY SON AND I STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE THREE TIMES! MY SON IS 19 MONTHS OLD, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE I WAS FEARING FOR OUR LIFE.. CARS GOING 70+ MILES AN HOUR, GOING PAST YOU, WHILE YOUR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE LANE.. I COULDN'T GET OUT THE VEHICLE WITH MY SON, BECAUSE REMIND YOU, I COULDN'T GET OUT SAFELY, ALL I COULD DO WAS HOPE THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME COULD SEE MY SAFETY HAZARD LIGHTS.. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE STALLED OUT IN THIS CAR.. THIS MAKES STALLING OUT NUMBER 6.. I HAVE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR.. I JUST WANT THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE MY CAR.. I WANT TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING AND I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MINE. *TR

WE HAVE AN UNSAFE TRANSMISSION IN OUR 2012 FORD FOCUS, WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW AUG. 2011. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND HESITATES WHILE DRIVING. THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE WHEN YOU GIVE GAS AFTER TURNING A CORNER. DEALERSHIP JUST REPROGRAMS AND SAYS IT HAS TO ADJUST TO DRIVER BUT IT NEVER FIXES THE ISSUE. I WORRY A WRECK MAY HAPPEN IF THE I CAN'T MAKE THE CAR RESPOND TIMELY BECAUSE OF THE HESITATION. NOW THEY WANT TO CHARGE AND I REFUSE! LOVE THE CAR BUT HATE THE TRANSMISSION. YOU REQUIRED A DATE BELOW THAT THIS HAPPENED BUT THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE.

MY TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS VERY BADLY I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER IN LOS LUNAS NEW MEXICO. IT IS STILL NOT FIXED. MY STREERING ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON AND IHAVENO POWER STEERING. AFTER THE LAST OIL CHANGE TO CHANGE OIL LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER THE RESET PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED. THE LIGHTER DOES NOT WORK. O AND TO TOP IT OFF I JUST GOT A RECALL LETTER SOMETHING TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL FAILURE . BUT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ABOVE PROBLEMS. THIS IS WAY MANY FOR A CAR OF ITS AGE I AM SURE I HAVE A LEMON. WHAT CAN BE DONE?

FORTUNATELY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING! IT OCCURRED WHEN I WEN TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO SHUT THE DOOR....NOTHING! THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT AND REMAINED OPEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME A DOOR LATCH ON THIS SAME VEHICLE HAS FAILED. JUST 2 MONTHS AGO THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FAILED AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE AS WITH THIS ONE. FORTUNATELY THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INJURY OR WORSE A DEATH DO TO THIS FAULTY LATCH MECHANISM. BY THE WAY, THE FIRST DOOR LATCH COST ME $550 TO REPAIR AND I AM HOLDING OFF ON REPAIRING THIS DOOR LATCH UNTIL THERE IS A RECALL AS WITH 2 OTHER FORD MODEL CARS THAT USED THE SAME LATCHES.

WE HAVE HAD OUR 2012 FORD FOCUS FOR 3 YEARS. IN THE LAST YEAR, THE DOOR LATCH THAT KEEPS THE DOOR SHUT, HAS BROKEN! THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED JUNE 2015. WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT AND OUR PASSENGER TRIED TO CLOSE HER DOOR (BACK LEFT) AND IT WOULDN'T STAY SHUT. UNFORTUNATELY, SHE HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR UNTIL WE MADE IT HOME SAFELY. WE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME, WE FIGURED SHE'D PROBABLY SLAMMED IT TOO HARD OR GOT THE SEAT BELT STUCK. WE PURCHASED THE PART FOR $120 AND DECIDED TO FIX IT OURSELVES SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS CHARGING $600! FAST FORWARD TO TWO DAYS AGO. WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WHEN MY HUSBAND TURNED LEFT AND THE BACK RIGHT DOOR SWUNG WIDE OPEN! OUR 15 MONTH OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE BACK, AND I FRANTICALLY TOLD MY HUSBAND TO PULL OVER, THINKING THAT MAYBE SOMEHOW HE MIGHT'VE OPENED IT- ALTHOUGH HIS CAR SEAT REAR FACES AND ITS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE HANDLE SINCE HIS CAR SEAT IS IN THE MIDDLE. WE PULLED OVER, AND AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO SHUT IT, WE FINALLY REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON.THE LATCH HAD BROKEN AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME ON A DIFFERENT DOOR! WE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IT'S NOT ON RECALL.THEY WERE ANYTHING BUT HELPFUL OR UNDERSTANDING! I DON'T GET WHY THIS HASN'T BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE AFTER GOING ONLINE, I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT ABOUT THE EXACT VEHICLE! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY! HOW MANY INCIDENTS NEED TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT IS RESOLVED? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE? I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON A CAR THAT'S ONLY 4 YEARS OLD! NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY HUSBAND AND I WILL NO LONGER BE BUYING A FORD EVER AGAIN AND WILL BE GETTING RID OF OURS, AS WE DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE FOR OUR FAMILY. NOR DO WE WANT TO STICK AROUND AND HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES, SHOULD THEY BREAK AGAIN.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS, BOTH FRONT AND REAR, FLEW OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AFFECTED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE PASSENGER WHO WAS IN THE REAR BEHIND THE DRIVER ALMOST FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. HAD IT NOT BEEN THAT I WAS DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD, THIS MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. THE SECOND INCIDENT AFFECTED THE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND HAPPENED WHILE I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHILE ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE FREEWAY. NEITHER DOOR LATCHES SHUT, AND I HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO THE USE OF BUNGEE CORDS AND CABLES TO SECURE THE DOORS. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FOCUS WAS NOT ONE OF THE UNITS RECALLED, EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THAT EXPERIENCED BY FUSION, FIESTA, AND OTHER FORD MODELS. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED ON OR ABOUT 8/3/16, AND THE SECOND ON 8/17/16.

WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD MY DRIVERSIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. ONCE STOPPED I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE DOOR TO RELATCH TO CLOSE. THIS WAS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. THE DOOR IS HAVING TO BE HELD CLOSED WITH A ROPE WHILST I CRAWL THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHICH IS VERY DIFFICULT. HAVING 3 KIDS THIS IS A VERY SCARY SAFELY ISSUE. THE LATCH WILL COST 300-500 TO FIX. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS AN ERROR IN THE MAKING OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT FORD SHOULD FIX THE DOOR LATCH AT NO COST.

DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOOR OPENED ON TURN. HAVE TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED TO DRIVE OR TIE ROPE TO DOOR. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD DRIVERS DOOR. VIN NOT IN RECALL BUT FITS ALL SYMPTOMS LIVE IN WARM AREA IN SOUTHTEXAS.

ON THE PASSENGER DOOR, DRIVERS SIDE, I FOUND THE DOOR OPEN WHEN I WAS WALKING TO MY CAR FROM WORK. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT NO ONE STOLE ANYTHING. I THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT. IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE A BREAK IN AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH.THE MECHANIC SAID THE DOOR LATCH WAS VERY POORLY DESIGNED. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS THIS DOOR LATCH PROBLEM IS HAPPENING WITH OTHER FORDS AS WELL. I CONSIDER THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DOOR COULD HAVE SWUNG OPEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I TRIED CONTACTING FORD TO DISCUSS THIS PROBLEMS BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL. APPARENTLY THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS. CURRENTLY I AM CONCERNED IF THE OTHER DOORS WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM-DOOR LATCH ISSUE.

THE DOOR LATCH BAR ATTACHED TO THE CAR GOES INSIDE THE OPEN LATCH SEAMLESSLY, HOWEVER THE LATCH WILL NOT HOLD. THE ONLY WORKAROUND I HAVE FOUND IS TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED, LOCK THE CAR, THEN PUSH THE DOOR OPEN AND SHUT IT AGAIN. ONLY THEN WILL THE LATCH ENGAGE. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I WAS DRIVING FROM A RESTAURANT AND THE "DOOR AJAR" LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE MAP SAID IT WAS MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I TRIED TO CLOSE IT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, NO LUCK, UNTIL I CAME ACROSS THE WORKAROUND MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET--MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR RANDOMLY SWUNG OPEN! I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE STREET--THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE!

THE FRONT DOOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED LATCHING WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD TRIP. IT WAS OPERATING CORRECTLY UNTIL I GOT OUT OF MY CAR TO WALK INTO A GAS STATION. WHEN I RETURNED IT WOULD NOT LATCH. INSTEAD, IT WOULD JUST BOUNCE OFF THE DOOR FRAME WITHOUT THE LATCH ENGAGING. I TESTED THE LATCH TO SEE IF IT WAS JAMMED, BUT THE ACTUAL LATCH ITSELF MOVED JUST FINE WHEN I MOVED IT WITH MY KEY. I HAD TO TIE THE DOOR TO MY LEG WITH A BELT TO MAKE THE REST OF THE DRIVE HOME. ON MONDAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH, AND THAT THE ENTIRE UNIT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $680 FOR THE REPAIR, AND NEITHER THE SERVICE MANAGER NOR FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. I HAD IT REPLACED BY A LOCAL AUTO SHOP THAT I TRUST, AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DO IT FOR MUCH CHEAPER THAN FORD'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT.

NOT SURE WHY THIS HASN'T YET GONE TO RECALL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, FOUND OUT THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON A LOT OF 2012-13 FOCUS, AND AN INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN STARTED. I WAS CHARGED $129 FOR THE MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE CAR, BUT HAVEN'T HAD IT SERVICED YET DUE TO THE PART BEING ON BACK ORDER.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2012 FORD FOCUS THAT I BOUGHT ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO FROM SOMEONE ON CRAIGSLIST. IT'S MY FIRST CAR AND HAS BEEN THE MOST AMAZING FIRST CAR I COULD'VE ASKED FOR, WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT I HAD GOTTEN A LETTER IN THE MAIL REGARDING MY FORD AND IT TOLD ME TO BRING IT INTO FORD BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY TRANSMISSION. SO I BROUGHT IT IN TO CAPISTRANO FORD TURTLE CLICK, THEY TOLD ME TO COME BACK AFTER THE 4 DAY WEEKEND BECAUSE I PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT MY CAR SITTING IN THE SHOP ALL WEEKEND FOR SUCH A MINOR PROBLEM. SO I ASKED IF MY CAR WAS GOING TO BE FINE FOR ME TO STILL DRIVE IN OR SHOULD I JUST LET IT BE UNTIL THEY COULD WORK ON IT. THE MAN TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WOULD BE FINE AND JUST BRING IT IN AFTER THE WEEKEND. I ALSO CALLED AS SOON AS I WAS LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPT AND ALSO GOT IT VERIFIED THAT MY CAR WOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE IN UNTIL MY APPT. FUNNY THING THE NEXT DAY MY GF AND I WE'RE DRIVING AND I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT TURNED GREEN WENT TO HIT THE GAS AND MY CAR JUST DIED. DIDN'T EVEN FEEL LIKE IT TURNED OFF OR ANYTHING AND THEN IT SHOWED MY CAR WAS NOT REGISTERING THAT IT WAS IN DRIVE. SO I CALL FORD AND THEY HAD ME TOW THE CAR TO THEM AND THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION SOMETHING AND THEY FIXED IT FOR ME. SO SHE WAS RUNNING SO GOOD AND ABOUT 8 MONTHS DOWN THE LINE THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION IS HAPPENING EXCEPT NOW I GET IN MY CAR AND WILL GO TO TURN THE KEY AND IT WON'T TURN OVER, I HAVE TO LET IT DING 4 TIMES AND THEN IT'LL START. VERY ODD? I THEN WILL START DRIVING AND WHEN IT GOES TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR IT DOES A GNARLY STALL AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT CAN'T CATCH THE GEARS AND IT'S BEEN TELLING ME "TRANSMISSION TOO HOT PULL OVER SAFELY" AND THEN IT JUST PULLS ITSELF OUT OF GEAR AND I KINDA JUST COAST INTO A SPOT.

SO I LEARNED TO IGNORE THE SHUDDERING AND SKIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION AND ADAPTED TO DRIVING WITH IT BUTT WHEN MY WIFE DROVE THE CAR AND IT FINALLY DIED ON HER THAT IS TOO MUCH TO DEAL WITH.

I REALIZED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE ON THE 2012 FORD FOCUS WHEN I CHATTED WITH ANOTHER OWNER OF A 2012 FORD FOCUS WHO WAS IS FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR A DOOR LATCH REPLACEMENT. LUCKILY, I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MY COST WAS $100. THE COST WITHOUT A WARRANTY WOULD BE ALMOST $275. THIS SHOULD NOT COST THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THESE LATCHES FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. BOTH TIMES THAT THE LATCHES FAILED, THEY WORKED FINE THE PREVIOUS DAY

DRIVER SIDE DOOR CAME OPEN WHILE MAKING A TURN ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT LESS THAN 10MPH. 2012 FOCUS TITANIUM HAD APPROXIMATELY 52,000 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT.

DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH (DRIVER SIDE). DOOR LATCH DOES NOT ENGAGE AND "LOCK" CLOSED TO SECURE DOOR. DOOR REMAINS OPEN AT ALL TIMES. MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO START HER CAR FOR SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT.

DOOR LATCH BROKEN. DRIVER SIDE DOOR FAILS TO LATCH. DOOR OPENED NORMALLY THEN TRIED TO CLOSE DOOR AFTER TAKING SEAT. DOOR MADE A BANG AND I CLOSED IT AND IT BOUNCED OPEN. TRIED CLOSING AND AGAIN AND NOTICE IT WOULD NOT LATCH. HAD TO USE ROPE TO TIE DOOR CLOSED TO GET TO WORK.

DEALER SAYS THEY ARE NOT CURRENTLY ON RECALL , BUT IF THEY REPLACE IT THE COST IS ABOUT $475.00 . I FEEL IT IS A FORD PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR IT NO- CHARGE. MAYBE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HURT OR DIE FIRST BEFORE IT IS RESOLVED. HOPE NOT !!!!!

I HAVE HAD TWO DOOR LATCHES FAIL ON MY 2012 FOCUS SO FAR. THE DRIVER DOOR WAS THE FIRST TO FAIL, WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED ON 12 FEBRUARY 2016 (DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED THROUGH UPLOAD). DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED IN MY DRIVEWAY, AND I HAD TO TIE MYSELF IN USING MY SEATBELT JUST TO GO GET IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A KNOWN AND ONGOING PROBLEM FOR FORD. THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION; LUCKILY A FRIEND WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE DOOR AND HOLD IT CLOSE BEFORE IT WAS STRUCK BY A PASSING CAR IN THE LANE NEXT TO US ON A CITY STREET. MY KIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME, AND I FEAR THAT I CANNOT USE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION, AND THE OTHER TWO DOORS COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME. MY TWO-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER SITS IN A CAR SEAT RIGHT NEXT TO THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR, AND MY WIFE TYPICALLY SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, BOTH OF WHICH SEEM AS IF THEY ARE NEXT IN LINE TO FAIL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND FORD SHOULD REPAIR THESE AT NO COST, REIMBURSE FOR MONEY ALREADY SPENT, AND EVEN PROVIDE A TOW TRUCK TO BRING THE VEHICLE SAFELY TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. CURRENTLY MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY FOR A WEEK AND I CANNOT REALLY GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE THE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK AFTER THIS FAILURE HAPPENS, WHICH MEANS SOMEONE CAN JUST OPEN THE DOOR AND TAKE WHATEVER THEY WOULD LIKE. IN ADDITION, IT POSES A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY SINCE THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES WHILE THE FAILED DOOR LATCH LEAVES THE DOOR IN THE OPEN POSITION. THE MOST RECENT CASE OCCURRED ON 29 APRIL 2016, AND IS STILL NOT REPAIRED BECAUSE I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME.

Mileage: 60,678

THE STEERING GEAR LOCKED UP ON ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR.

MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH OPENED WHILE DRIVING AND THE DOOR CAME OPEN. I STOPPED AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSED THE DOOR STAYED OPEN. I CALLED THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE YEAR A RECALL ON THE FOCUS HAS NOT BEEN DONE. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH AND MECHANISM WAS $517 THAT THEY ARE QUOTING ME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS KNOW.

Mileage: 65,000

MY DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE AND I TOOK IT TO FORD THEY SAID IT IS THE LATCH THAT BROKE TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX IT AS A RECALL BUT FORD FIESTA IS BEING RECALLED FOR THE SAME PART . TOLD ME I COULD PAY 450 BUCKS TO FIX IT FOR A PART THAT IS BEING RECALLED ON A DIFFERENT CAR BUT IT'S THE SAME PIECE.. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH BUNGY CORDS ATTACHED TO MY DOOR ...IF I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS I COULD UNDERSTAND BUT I DIDN'T IT IS A PIECE ON THERE CAR THAT BROKE AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT...MY TRANSMISSION WAS A RECALL THEY FIXED THAT AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING AS BEFORE

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REAR LEFT SIDE DOOR FLEW OPEN. IT APPEARS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LATCH IT WILL NOT CLOSE.

Mileage: 72,345

TODAY THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE DOOR WAS CLOSED AND LATCH INTACT WHEN I INITIALLY STARTED THE CAR AND BEGAN DRIVING THEN SUDDENLY THE DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE IN MOTION AND A NOTIFICATION APPEARED SAYING "DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPEN." THE ISSUE HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY THAT I WAS FORCED TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE DRIVING TO MY LEFT AND NEARLY HIT THE VEHICLE TO MY RIGHT. I PULLED OVER AND ATTEMPTED TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND ENGAGE THE LOCK TO SEE IF THE DOOR WOULD STAY CLOSED BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I MANAGED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIP BY HOLDING THE DOOR TIGHTLY WITH ONE HAND WHILE STEERING WITH THE OTHER. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY GOLD LEVEL EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I HAD PURCHASED AND IT WOULD COST NEARLY 600 DOLLARS TO FIX. NOT ONLY WAS THE REPAIR EXPENSIVE, BUT THE PART WAS OUT OF STOCK AND WOULD REQUIRE MY VEHICLE TO STAY IN THE SHOP FOR AN UNDISCLOSED NUMBER OF DAYS, WHICH FORCED ME TO RENT A RENTAL VEHICLE, INCURRING ANOTHER COST.

Mileage: 70,600

BACK SEAT(DRIVERS SIDE) DOOR LATCH FAILED ON MY HUSBANDS WAY HOME FROM WORK. THE DOOR FLEW OPEN ON A TURN AND ALL OF HIS TOOLS FLEW OUT THE INTO THE STREET. (HE HAD MY CAR BECAUSE HIS FORD TRANSIT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES) WE HAD TO TIE THE DOOR WITH A BUNGEE CORD. THE OTHER BACK DOOR LATCH (PASSENGER SIDE) FLEW OPEN ON THE FREEWAY WHILE ON THE WAY TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY RESULTING IN A LOST PRESENT AND CAKE. NOW BOTH BACK DOORS ARE TIED SO THE DOORS DON'T FLY OPEN. I DRIVE A CANYON ROAD TO WORK AND BACK EVERYDAY AND GOING THROUGH A TURN RESULTS IN THE DOOR LIGHT COMING ON AND MAKES THE NOISE FOR WHEN A DOOR IS OPEN. WE HAVE TRIED GOING TO FORD NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OTHER YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT MY YEAR AND MODEL. FORD HAS OFFERED TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM FOR A MERE $700.00 DOLLARS PER DOOR. I CALLED CORPORATE AND RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER WERE SORRY WE KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR YOUR YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. I NOW HAVE A FOUR DOOR PASSENGER CAR THAT ONLY SITS TWO PEOPLE BECAUSE THE BACK DOORS ARE TIED TOGETHER. I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT MY FRONT DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR DON'T FLY OPEN. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A FORD AND NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT ABOUT THEM BUT IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. WHAT IF MY GRANDKIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE DOOR FLEW OPEN WITH THEM IN THE CAR? I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER FORD THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND BIG LET DOWN. PLEASE HELP TO OPEN A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. 2102 FORD FOCUS

FEB 29, 2016 WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED DRIVER DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED. I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE DOOR BUT IT WOULD NOT STAY SHUT. I EXIT THE FREEWAY AND REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTING TO CLOSE THE DOOR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. I WAS AFRAID OF WHAT POSSIBLY COULD HAVE HAPPENED. NOT TO ME BUT TO MY GIRLFRIEND WHO IS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT WITH OUR CHILD. IT IS THE CAR WE BOUGHT FOR HER BUT TODAY I DECIDED TO LEAVE HER MY TRUCK. "BETTER ME THEN HER" IS WHAT I WAS THINKING. I IMMEDIATELY SEARCHED GOOGLE TO SEE WHAT IT CAN POSSIBLY BE WHEN I CAME ACROSS THE RECALL FORD WAS HAVING. I DIDN'T SEE FORD FOCUS ON THERE AND WAS THINKING "WHY THE HELL NOT" IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. I CAME ACROSS FORUMS OF OTHER HAVE THE SAME HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I ALSO READ OF IT HAPPENING TO A WOMEN IN ARIZONA WHO HAD HER COST COVERED BY FORD. I CALLED MY DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE FOCUS IS NOT COVERED. I WAS GIVEN A CALL LATER DURING THE DAY WITH AN PRICE OF $682.56 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I CALLED A 1-800-392-3673 TO SPEAK WITH FORD AND EXPRESS MY CONCERN AND THE TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE OF MY DRIVE TO WORK. ALL I WAS TOLD I CAN DO IS HOLD ON TO MY RECEIPT IN CASE IT IS RECALLED IN THE FUTURE. I ASKED ABOUT THE WOMEN IN ARIZONA WHO HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AND WHY WAS HER COST COVERED AND NOT ANY OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE. I WAS TOLD HERS WAS PROBABLY DIFFERENT. I WAS SPEECHLESS AFTER THAT. AS OUR CALL CAME TO AN END ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT DOOR LATCHES NOT CLOSING AND THE ACCIDENTS THAT CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME WITHOUT WARNING. NO ONE IS TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTED LATCHES. FORD IS NO TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTED LATCHES. HOW CAN THEY RECALL APPROX. 400,000 OTHER MODELS AND NOT REALIZE MAYBE THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO THE FOCUS.

IN AUGUST 2012 I WENT TO CLOSE MY DRIVERS DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSED. THE SAFETY LATCH HAD BROKEN IN THE OPEN POSITION AND MY DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AT ALL. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE LATCH UNDER THE WARRANTY. THEN ON FEBRUARY 27 2016 MY DAUGHTER WENT TO CLOSE THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH SHUT. I HAD TO TIE THE DOOR CLOSED WITH ROPES TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. BOTH TIMES THE CAR WAS PARKED. BUT AGAIN IT WAS THE DOOR SAFETY LATCH THAT FAILED AND BROKE IN THE OPEN POSITION. 50% OF THE DOOR LATCHES ON THIS CAR HAVE NOW FAILED. I KNOW THERE'S AN INVESTIGATION ONGOING ABOUT THE DOOR LATCHES FROM FORD, AND THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. TODAY, MARCH 1 2016 FORD DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THEY HAVE YET TO DECIDED IF THEY WILL COVER THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR. IT'S MY PERSONAL BELIEF THAT THE REMAINING 2 LATCHES ON THE REAR DOORS WILL FAIL IN TIME. IT'S MY BELIEF THAT FORD NEEDS TO REPLACE ALL 4 SAFETY DOOR LATCHES.

THE FIRST TIME WAS GOING DOWN 93 IN BOSTON AREA WITH MY FAMILY THE CAR WENT INTO TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHY I WAS IN FAR LEFT LANE THE CAR WOULDNT GO OVER 20 AND I HAD TO CROSS OVER TO THE FAR LEFT LANE TO TREACH THE BREAKDOWN LANE. LUCKILY MY FAMILY WAS NOT IN ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT COULD'VE HAVE BEEN FAR WORSE. IT DID THE SAME THING A SECOND TIME WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN 293 AREA GOING TO A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT. THIS MAY END UP KILLING MY FAMILY IF IT DOESN'T GET RECALLED AND FIX. WE DON'T HAVE EXTRA MONEY TO BE REPAIRING IT OURSELF EVERY TIME IT DECIDES TO DO THIS.

THREE OF MY 4 DOOR LATCHES STOPPED FUNCTIONING COMPLETELY. THEY DID NOT WORK WHETHER THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, DRIVING, OR TURNING. WE HAD TO TIE THE DOOR HANDLES TO EACH OTHER FROM THE INSIDE TO KEEP THEM FROM FLYING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN YOU PUSHED THEM SHUT FROM THE OUTSIDE, THEY WOULD BOUNCE BACK OPEN. THIS ALSO CAUSED CONSTANT WARNING LIGHTS/SOUNDS FROM THE DASH. FORD STATED THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT OURS WERE NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY 4 DOOR LATCHES WERE PACKAGED AS A 4 PACK WHEREAS THE SERIAL NUMBERS FOR THE RECALLED LATCHES WERE SOLD IN INDIVIDUAL PACKAGING. SO THEREFORE, I WAS NOT COVERED DUE TO A LOOP HOLE. THE DOORS NOT SHUTTING PROPERLY (EVER) CAUSED WATER TO LEAK IN AND CAUSE OTHER PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE WINDOW MOTOR SHORTING OUT. I REACHED OUT TO CORPORATE AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I PAID FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I HAD TO.

FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CONSISTENTLY LATCH CLOSED. CAR WAS PARKED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE DOOR WAS AJAR. HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE DOOR IMMOBILIZED BY SPEAKER WIRE AND HOLDING IT WITH MY HAND UNTIL I HAD TIME TO REPEATEDLY CLOSE IT IN HOPE OF IT STAYING SHUT. AFTER 45 MINUTES, IT STAYED SHUT UNTIL THE FEW TIMES I ACCIDENTALLY OPENED IT WITHOUT THINKING WHICH WOULD RESULT IN SIMILAR ADVENTURES IN GETTING IT TO CLOSE. SPEAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT PART I NEEDED WITHOUT MUCH EXPLAINING OF THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN JUNE 2012. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH THREE TIMES DUE TO ISSUES. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ROOF LINER REINSTALLED AS IT HAD COME LOOSE. NOW, ONLY A MONTH AFTER THE $700 REPAIR FOR THE ROOF, I AM NOW TOLD TO PAY $950 TO REPAIR MY BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH AS BROKEN AND MESSED UP THE PRIMARY SHAFT. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND IS ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD, YET SEEMS TO BE FALLING APART NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ASKED IF I HAD DONE ANYTHING TO CAUSE THE BRAKE BOOSTER TO FAIL, AND WAS TOLD "NO, IT IS JUST A MECHANICAL FAILURE," THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THAT THE MECHANICS COULD HAVE SEEN THE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH IT MYSTERIOUSLY STARTED LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER I HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A WEEK. AFTER GETTING THE ROOF LINER AND CLUTCH REINSTALLED I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD ALSO UPDATED ALL OF THE SOFTWARE IN MY CAR. A LITTLE OVER A WEEK LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SOFTWARE GLITCH AS THE LIGHT TURNED OFF WHEN I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. IT HAPPENED ONCE MORE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER, BUT IT WAS AT THE SAME STOPLIGHT, SO I THOUGHT IT MAY BE THE PARTICULAR ANGLE OF THE CAR AT THAT LIGHT OR SOMETHING, BUT RESOLVED TO TAKE IT IN IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS GONE FOR 2 WEEKS FOR CHRISTMAS BREAK, THEN WHEN I CAME BACK THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON EVERY TIME I WAS STOPPED FOR MORE THAN 30 SECONDS. I STOPPED DRIVING MY CAR UNTIL I COULD GET IT INTO THE SHOP. SO, WITH LESS THAN A MONTH OF DRIVING MY CAR SINCE IT WAS LAST IN THE SHOP, APPARENTLY $950 IN DAMAGE WAS DONE THAT, WHILE NOT MY FAULT "COULD NOT HAVE BEEN AVOIDED" AND IS SOMETHING I HAVE TO PAY FOR IF I WANT MY CAR TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE.

ON 10/15/15 MY CAR STALLED AND COMPLETELY PULLED BACK , DIED DOWN TO ALMOST A HALT THEN KICKED INTO GEAR AGAIN , LIKE A PULL AND LET GO MOTION. OUT OF NOWHERE, THIS GAVE ME A SCARE SINCE I WAS DRIVING AND COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS COMPLETE STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON N.E. 163RD STREET NORTH MIAMI BEACH TOWARDS BISCAYNE BLVD. ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND A SCREEN MESSAGE SHOWED UP ASKING ME TO SERVICE TRANSMISSION NOW! I HAVE HAD TO PARK CAR UNTIL I FIGURE WHAT TO DO? THIS CAR HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A PROBLEM FOR ME, FIRST WITH THE BACK DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WHERE DOOR JUST FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING, (THAT'S A DIFFERENT CLAIM I HAVE PLACED WITH NHTSA). I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP FIXING THESE PROBLEMS APPEARING TO THIS FORD FOCUS. RADIO ALSO WENT DEAD WITH A SUPER LOUD DISRUPTING POP SOUND AND LOUD STATIC ELECTRICAL NOISES WHICH COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED BY LOWERING VOLUME OR TURNING OFF RADIO , THIS LOUD POP SOUND STARTLED ME ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON TURNPIKE FROM DAVIE TOWARDS NORTH MIAMI BEACH. WOULD LIKE TO GET FORD MOTOR TO RECOGNIZE THAT MY FORD FOCUS 2012 IS A LEMON, IF NOT THE RIGHT TERM THEN IT'S A PRODUCT OF SHODDY PARTS USED TO CONSTRUCT THIS CAR.

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE MAY 2012 IT HAS SHUDDERED WHEN DRIVING, STALLED WHILE DRIVING, AND SHAKES AND DOES NOT INCREASE SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS STEPPED ON. THE CAR NOW DOES NOT EVEN START WHEN IT IS TURNED ON, DESPITE THE BATTERY BEING GOOD. CAR WAS TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. DID SEVERAL REPAIRS TO IT BUT TO THIS DATE IT STILL SHUDDERS AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THE LATEST REPAIR THEY DID WAS TO FIX THE ALTERNATOR...WE WILL SEE....HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THIS MODEL HAS SEVERAL DEFECTS AND WOULD TERM IT AS A LEMON. IT BARELY HAS 60,000 MILES ON IT AND A CAR THIS NEW SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES AS THEY ARE SAFETY ISSUES AND I FEAR FOR ME AND MY CHILDRENS LIVES AND SAFETY AS THIS CAR DOES NOT FUNCTION SAFELY AND STALLS WHEN WE ARE DRIVING! WHEN I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS TO FORD OVER THESE ISSUES THEY TOOK NO ACTION EXCEPT TO TAPE RECORD MY COMPLAINTS...THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THESE SAFEY ISSUES....THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS....THE LAST REPAIR BILL COST ME $650....BUT I HAVE NO FAITH THAT THEY (FORD) HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEMS.....I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CANNOT AFFORD TO TRADE THE CAR IN FOR ANOTHER AS THE FORD SALES PERSON TOLD ME NO BANK WOULD LOAN ME MONEY ON ANOTHER CAR AS I OWED TOO MUCH ON THIS LEMON THAT FORD HAS SOLD ME....FORD WAS OF NO HELP AND DOES NOT CARE....I TOLD THEM THAT IT WOULD TAKE SOMEONE DYING IN A CAR CRASH FROM THESE DEFECTS IN ORDER FOR FORD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES.....THESE ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND WHEN IT IS SITTING STILL...THE CAR WILL NOT START AND HAS TO BE TOWED INTO THE REPAIR SHOP...

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A DRIVE THUR MY CAR SUDDENLY BECAME VERY HARD TO TURN AND A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASH STATING "STEERING ASSIST MALFUNCTION". I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE OKAY. NOW I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN BUT IN A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION. THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ABOUT AND IT'S NOT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN IT'S WHEN. ALSO TONIGHT I EXPERIENCED MY REAR RIGHT SIDE DOOR IS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE AT ALL. WHICH I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT BOTH OF THESE SAFETY CONCERNS. THAT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD, I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT I REALIZED THIS BEFORE DRIVING AWAY WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD AGAIN!!!!

MY FORD FOCUS WAS SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.THE TRANSMISSION CONTAINS A DEFECT THAT CAUSES, AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS, TRANSMISSION SLIPS, BUCKING, KICKING, JERKING, HARSH ENGAGEMENT, PREMATURE INTERNAL WEAR, SUDDEN ACCELERATION, DELAY IN DOWNSHIFTS, DELAYED ACCELERATION, DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, AND, EVENTUALLY, TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THESE CONDITIONS PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THEY SEVERELY AFFECT MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR'S SPEED, ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. THESE DEFECTS MAKE THE FOCUS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, NOT ONLY FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE FOCUS, BUT ALSO FOR PEDESTRIANS AND PASSENGERS OF OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES, INCLUDING FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON A LARGE HIGHWAY MY 2012 FORD FOCUS TURNED IT SELF OFF. THE ACCELERATOR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND THE CAR LOST SPEED QUICKLY. DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE ALLOWED ME TO CAREEN OFF ONTO THE MEDIAN WITHOUT INJURY OR ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN WHICH THIS CAR HAS EXHIBITED A LOSS OF POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER ALLEGED TO FIX THE ISSUE THE FIRST TIME AND A SERVICE NOTICE HAD BEEN RECENTLY ISSUED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEALER THE SERVICE NOTICE MAY NOT BE A FACTOR IN THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Mileage: 37,000

THE CAR SAT FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I WENT TO START IT BACK UP, IT WOULDN'T START. LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT LOOKS AS IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE KEY FOB PROGRAMMING, AND NOT THE ALTERNATOR LIKE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SAY. THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALTERNATOR ISSUES. I'VE ALSO SEEN MANY OTHER CASES OF THIS SAME ISSUE IN THIS SAME MODEL.

MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE ONLY REVVED CAUSING THE MAN BEHIND HER TO INCH VERY CLOSE BEHIND DUE TO THE LIGHT THEN HONKING HIS HORN AND YELLING. IN ADDITION, AFTER MY WIFE AND CHILD RETURNED HOME, I WENT TO RUN TO THE STORE ONLY TO FIND THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT TURN OVER, NOT EVEN SOUND LIKE ITS ATTEMPTING TO AS THERE IS NO NOISE WHEN TURNING THE KEY. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHAT GEAR IT IS IN, THUS WILL NOT START AND HAS ALWAYS HAD ERRATIC SHIFTING AND LURCHING TENDENCIES. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW, I HAVE A FAMILY OF FIVE I SUPPORT AND NO MONEY TO FIX THIS. HOW AM I GOING TO GET TO WORK!!! I STILL HAVE 5 YEARS TO PAY ON THIS...UGHHH. TRAPPED

DISCOVERED DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE, STAY SHUT, LATCH, OR LOCK PROPERLY. DOOR MAY BE PULLED OR PUSHED OPEN WHEN PARKED OR AT ANY SPEED AND LATCHING MECHANISM WILL NOT KEEP DOOR IN PLACE. THIS IS A HIGHLY CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUE AS THIS RESULTED IN RECALLS FOR THE EXPLORER, 2011-2014 FIESTA, 2013-2014 FUSION, AND 2013-2014 MKZ WITH THE SAME EXACT MECHANISM.

MY CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT BACK FROM WORK YESTERDAY. IT HAPPENED QUITE A FEW TIMES ON MY 1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTE DRIVE HOME. I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR QUITE HARD TO GET IT TO MOVE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY AT THE DEALER TO GET IT CHECKED OUT, BUT THIS IS VERY CONCERNING FOR ME. THERE WAS ALSO ONE ISOLATED INCIDENT LAST WEEK WHERE I HAD IT ON DRIVE AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I KEPT PRESSING IT AND IT STARTED TO DRIVE AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS.

Mileage: 53,500

I WAS DRIVING TO AN EARLY MORNING MEETING (5:30AM) WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR SUDDENLY OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE THE DOOR OPENED, IT WOULD NO LONGER LATCH. THE CAR DOOR HAD TO BE MANUALLY HELD FIRMLY CLOSED FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. WITH EVERY TURN, THE DOOR WOULD ATTEMPT TO FLY OPEN.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS TAKES A DANGEROUSLY SLOW AMOUNT OF TIME TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND SHUDDERS EXCESSIVELY AND VERY VISIBLY (AT ANY SPEED) WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THIS CAR IS A SAFETY CONCERN. JUST THIS WEEK IT IS NOT STARTING AT ALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR AND THEY WILL REPLACE IT FOR FREE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THAT OTHERS HAVE CONTINUED TO HAVE THESE SAFETY ISSUES EVEN AFTER FORD REPLACES THEIR TRANSMISSION OR TRANSMISSION CLUTCH.

Mileage: 81,000

THE DRIVERS DOOR LATCH FAILED SO THAT THE DOOR WILL NOT STAY CLOSED. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT OCCURRED IN A PARKING LOT RATHER THAN WHILE DRIVING.

Mileage: 92,000

THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE AT ACCELERATION FROM PARKED POSITION. I NOTICED A SLIGHT "SKIPPING" OR JUMPING WHILE DRIVING OFF OF THE LOT. SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOTICED THE SAME WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER (USED CAR DEALER IN ALABAMA) TOLD ME "ITS A GOOD DEAL, GOOD CAR"!!!

Mileage: 61,833

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE FREEWAY. SHE HAD OPENED AND CLOSED THE SUNROOF ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE THE INCIDENT. THERE WAS A LOUD POPPING/BANGING NOISE AND THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. GLASS SHARDS COVERED THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, SOME OF THEM WERE SHARP. WHEN SHE PARKED THE VEHICLE THE GLASS WAS BENT OUT AND NOT DOWN. THERE WAS NO KNOWN IMPACT OF ANY OBJECT WITH THE SUNROOF, IT APPEARS TO HAVE EXPLODED DUE TO A DEFECT.

Mileage: 46,000

ACCELERATING FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR JUST DIED. I LOST ALL POWER(POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES). WE PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO JUMP THE BATTERY THINKING IT WAS THIS. I REMEMBERED A LETTER I RECEIVED FROM FORD REGARDING A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE(TCM). THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND VIA A DIAGNOSTIC TEST IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TCM WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER A WEEK AT THE FORD DEALER THE TCM WAS REPLACED FREE AND THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED. THE MAJOR CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS IF I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN DIRE CONSEQUENCES - THE CAR JUST DIED AND WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC FLYING BY US. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION BEFORE PEOPLE DIE.

Mileage: 65,000

WE BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS ONE OF OUR KIDS ALMOST FELL OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE WE DIDN'T REALIZE THE DOOR DID NOT CATCH! THE REAR LEFT DOOR WILL NOT STAYED CLOSED. THE MECHANISM IS NOT CATCHING AT ALL AND THE DOOR IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR DID THE SAME THING. WE ENDED UP TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT COST $100 TO REPAIR, BUT WE DON'T FEEL THIS IS RIGHT.

Mileage: 45,000

MY TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK RIGHT AND NEVER HAS, FROM THE MINUTE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. IT JERKS, VERY HARD AT TIMES, IT SHUDDERS, AND WORST OF ALL, IT HESITATES, SO WHEN YOU PULL OUT AT TIMES YOU PRAY IT KICKS IN BEFORE YOU END UP GETTING HIT AND KILLED. I TOLD MY SON AFTER LESS THAN SIX MONTHS OF OWNING THIS CAR THAT IF I GET KILLED BECAUSE OF IT, I WANT HIM TO SUE FORD. THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS! THEY DON'T CARE IF CONSUMERS GET HURT OR KILLED, OBVIOUSLY. IT LOOKS GOOD AND RIDES GOOD, BUT IS A LEMON BECAUSE OF THE TRANS. THEY MAINTAIN THAT IT ONLY MAKES IT MISERABLE TO DRIVE, BUT THEY DOUBT YOU'LL GET KILLED, SO REFUSE TO HELP. THESE ARE SOME SORT OF TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE CONVERTED FROM MANUAL TO AUTOMATIC AND NOT VERY WELL, AT THAT. I'VE BEEN TO THREE DEALERS AND THEY WON'T HELP, SAYING THEIR HANDS ARE TIED BECAUSE CORPORATE DOESN'T FEEL IT'S GOING TO KILL ANYONE. I THOUGHT I WOULD BUY A FORD, BEING FROM SE MI. TALK ABOUT MISGUIDED LOYALTY! JUST BECAUSE NOBODY'S BEEN KILLED YET DOESN'T MEAN IT WON'T HAPPEN. IT DOESN'T WORK, PLAIN & SIMPLE. AND IF IT'S THIS POOR NOW, WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO? I AM BEYOND DISGUSTED AND COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS UNCARING COMPANY WHO SELLS YOU JUNK FOR TOP DOLLAR AND THEN REFUSES TO HELP YOU WITH A PROBLEM THAT IS TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY THEIR FAULT!

I BOUGHT A 2012 FORD FOCUS 2 YEARS AGO, SINCE OWNING THE CAR I HAVE EXPERIENCED MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. DOING 55MPH IN MY HOME TOWN MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AND MY CAR CAME TO A DEAD STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS MY HILL SIDE ASSISTANT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A LOT. AFTER THIS INCIDENT AND LEAVING MY CAR OFF FOR 2 MINUTES OR SO, I BEGAN TO DRIVE AND MY RPM'S JOLTED INTO THE 7,000'S AND MY CAR ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY PUSHING MY SPEED TO OVER 50 WHEN I WAS ONLY DOING 30. AFTERWARDS MY VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN DE-ACCELORATED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD AND CAME TO A STOP. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR BACK TO FORD 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS WITH ISSUES DUE TO ACCELERATING, JERKING, HESITATION AND FAIL TO SHIFT. THIS ACCIDENT HAD ALMOST COSTED ME AND OTHERS OUR LIVES. FORD FAILED TO ASSIST ME IN THE MATTER AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THE WAY THE FORD'S ELECTRIC AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IS MADE. THIS CAR IS A DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND BY NO MEANS SHOULD BE APPROVED TO BE DRIVEN OR SOLD UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I REALIZED I'M ONE OUT OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES WITH FORD FOCUS' PURCHASED BETWEEN 2010-2013.

Mileage: 60,000

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THERE WAS NO CLICKING OF THE VEHICLE TRYING TO START. AFTER 4 TRIES TO START THE CAR IT WAS LEFT TO SIT FOR 30 MIN BEFORE WE TRIED AGAIN. THE CAR THEN WAS TRIED TO START AGAIN DID NOT START UNTIL THE 4TH TRY. THEN THE CAR STARTED. IT SEEMS TO BE SKIPPING A GEAR WHILE DRIVING WILL GO FROM 6K RPM TO ALL OF THE SUDDEN JUMPING DOWN TO 2K RMP. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CLUTCH/ TRANSMISSION WITH SHIFTING AND NOW SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE STARTING SYSTEM.

(AUTOMATIC HATCHBACK) THE CAR ROLLS BACK WHEN IN GEAR, ON A STEEP HILL. SHIFTING GEARS, IT WILL HESITATE ON THE HIGHWAY AND WILL JUMP GEARS AND STUDDER. A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GET TO WORK AND WHEN I PUT IT IN REVERSE, THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE WHATSOEVER, SO I PUT IT IN DRIVE TO TEST AND SEE IF IT WAS WORKING, AND IT GOT IN 1ST GEAR JUST FINE.SO I TRIED TO REVERSE AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, SO I LEFT THE CAR AND GOT A RIDE TO WORK, HOWEVER THAT NIGHT WHEN I CAME HOME, I TESTED THE CAR OUT AGAIN AND SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER A MESSAGE POPPED UP "TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK (P)" AND I HAD IT IN REVERSE, SO I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE SAME MESSAGE POPPED UP. NOW I CANNOT GET IT TO MOVE AT ALL. WHILE IN DRIVE, IT WILL REV UP, BUT IT WILL NOT MOVE! IT WILL START UP NO PROBLEM, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL DRIVE, BUT IT WILL LOSE POWER AND NOT MOVE AGAIN.

Mileage: 55,000

THIS VEHICLE HAS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ENGINE SHUDDER AS WELL AS A RATTLING NOISE BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND AND SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. VEHICLE AT TIMES FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN ALL INTERSECTIONS AND THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED.

2013, 2014, TRANSMISSION CLUTCH REPLACED, 2015 WAITING FOR ANOTHER TRANSMISSION CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. REAR ENDED IN 2014 WHEN CAR BOGGED DOWN GETTING ON HIGHWAY. CAR DIED TWICE WHILE ON HIGHWAY . TOLD BY FORD CUSTOMER CARE & DEALERSHIP CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE BEFORE BOTH INCIDENTS. CAR REVS UP TO HIGH RPMS FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING.. VERY SCARY. !!!! CAR HAS NOT DRIVEN CORRECT SINCE THE DAY IT LEFT THE DEALERSHIP !!

CAR JUST SIMPLY STOPPED MOVING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT READ TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CAR HAD TO BE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY IT WAS A RURAL ROAD AND THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO TRAFFIC OR MY CHILD COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A CRASH FROM BEING STRUCK FROM BEHIND. I UNDERSTAND THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE OR THEIR CHILD BEING HURT OR KILLED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 2 MONTHS THAT I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR'S TRANSMISSION. NOT ONLY DOES IT STUTTER WHEN SHIFTING AND TAKE TIME TO ACCELERATE, BUT NOW THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING. IN APRIL, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED ACCELERATING, ALMOST RESULTING IN A CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS A TRANSMISSION CENSOR AND COST WAS PAID OUT OF POCKET. THIS TIME, THE CAR BEGAN JERKING AND THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT FLASHED. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT JERKING ALMOST WRECKED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS TODAY. CONSIDERING THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS AND I CONSIDER IT UNRELIABLE AND A HAZARD TO MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

Mileage: 72,000

I HAVE A FORD FOCUS 2012 IT HAS POWER LOCK ON THE DOORS. 3 DOORS LOCK WITH THE REMOTE JUST FINE THE DOOR BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT WONT EVEN CLOSE. IT OPENS WHEN I TURN CORNERS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, THIS CAR HAS HAD TWO RECALL FIXES ONE WITH CAR ROLLING BACK EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN AUTOMATIC AND A TRANSMISSION FAILURE ALL DUE TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I FEEL THAT THE THIS IS ANOTHER ONE GIVEN THAT MY PASSENGER LEFT REAR DOOR CANT EVEN BE MANUALLY LOCKED ITS ONLY LOCKED AND UNLOCKED ELECTRICALLY, THERE IS NOTHING BLOCKING THE DOOR TO MAKE IT NOT CLOSE ONLY THE LOCK ITSELF.

Mileage: 66,800

DRIVER WINDOW WORKED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN CEASED ALTOGETHER. HAD THE SWITCH REPLACED. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDOW IS EXHIBITING THE SAME EARLY SYMPTOMS. IT TOOK ONLY ONE WEEK FOR THE FIRST WINDOW TO FAIL, SO IT PROBABLY WON'T BE LONG BEFORE WE HAVE TO REPLACE THE SECOND.

Mileage: 64,000

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS SHIFTING ODD. THERE WAS NO POWER IN THE LOW GEARS. SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND WAS VERY HARSH. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO FORD THEY SAID I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 30000 MILES ON IT AND WAS SURPRISED BY THIS. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. DURING THAT TIME I HAD PUT ON 40000 OR SO. BROUGHT IT BACK TO FORD AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PART THAT WAS "RECALLED". I HAD THE SEALS AND EVERYTHING ELSE REPLACED UNDER THE 14M01 RECALL. THIS INCLUDED A NEW CLUTCH AGAIN. NOW IT IS MAY 2015, I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ABOUT 20000 OR SO FROM THE LAST TIME I HAD ANY WORK DONE AND ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS OF MY LAST TO REPAIRS ARE BACK. I NEED ANOTHER NEW CLUTCH (THIS WILL BE THE 4TH IN THE CAR). CONSIDERING ALL OF MY DRIVING IS ON THE HIGHWAY THIS NOT GOOD. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

Mileage: 41,733

THE FOCUS HAS A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH. IT OFTEN BREAKS AND OFTEN LEAVES ME STRANDED. IT WILL STOP ACCELERATING OR GET STUCK WHEN ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I'VE ALMOST HAD A FEW ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE OF IT LATE AT NIGHT. FORD HAS FIXED IT FOUR TIMES NOW WITH NO RESOLUTION. THEY SAY ITS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY CAN PATCH BUT NOT EXACTLY FIX.

I HAVE BEEN TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP 10 TIMES LAST YEAR AND 4 TIMES ALREADY THIS YEAR. I HAVE MULTIPLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND EACH TIME THEY REPLACE A PART ON MY CAR. I HAD MY CAR LAST WEEK FOR SERVICE AND NOW IT'S BACK THIS WEEK AGAIN FOR SERVICE. I HAVE ALL MY REPAIR RECEIPTS AND I AM COMPLETELY SADDEN THAT FORD CANNOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME AS I CALLED THE FORD COOPERATE OFFICE AND HAVE THEIR SPECIALIST LOOKED AT MY CASE AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MY CAR SHUTS OFF ON ME SO MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING WITH ME 1 YEAR OLD SON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THEY WILL FIX IT TODAY AND NEXT WEEK I AM BACK IN THE SHOP. THEY HAVE MY CAR MORE TIMES IN THE SHOP THAN I HAVE ON THE ROAD. I AM EXTREMELY TIRED! I TOLD THEM TO TEST DRIVE MY CAR EACH TIME THEY "SUPPOSEDLY FIXED" MY ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS THE SAME. I HAVE SPOKEN TO [XXX] AT THE COOPERATE OFFICE IN FLORIDA ( 1866-631-3788) EX [XXX] AND HE HAS NEVER SOLVED MY PROBLEMS OR RETURN ANY OF MY CALLS. --AT PRESENT WRITING THIS ISSUE I AM SCHEDULED FOR ANOTHER "REPAIR".

WHILE TOWING THIS CAR BEHIND MY MOTORCOACH FOUR-TIRES DOWN, PER FORD MANUAL AND CURRENT RV SAFETY PRACTICES, THE FOCUS' PASSENGER-SIDE REAR TIRE HAD A BLOW OUT. THE TIRE CAME COMPLETELY OFF OF THE RIM. ALL FOUR FOCUS TIRES WERE CHECKED TWO DAYS BEFORE AND PRESSURES WERE AT SPEC. WITH NO SIGN OF LEAKS OR APPARENT DAMAGE. THE TIRES ARE MICHELIN DEFENDER TIRES WITH ABOUT 14,500 MILES ON THEM AND PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2014. THIS BLOW OUT WAS A COMPLETE SURPRISE, FOR THE TIRES WERE IN APPARENTLY VERY GOOD CONDITION, I DID NOT RUN OVER ANY ROAD DEBRIS AND I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE BLOWN OUT TIRE AND WILL PROVIDE THEM UPON REQUEST. THANK YOU. *TR

CAR LOST POWER AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON I-95. UNDERNEATH PARTS AND LOWER BODY PANELS CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE PAUL CLARK FORD DEALERSHIP IN YULEE, FL. WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ENGINE HAD EXPERIENCED A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THERE WAS A HOLE A LITTLE SMALLER THAN A BASKETBALL BLOWN OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CRANKCASE WITH THE OIL PUMP AND PIECES OF THE ENGINE LAYING ON THE SHIELD COVERING THE OIL PAN. THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN FULLY SERVICED WITH IT'S ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, RECOMMENDED SERVICE ROUTINE, ETC BY SAME DEALER. EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AS OF YET. FORD IS CONDUCTING AN INTERNAL REVIEW AND SAID IT COULD TAKE UP TO 90 DAYS BEFORE A DETERMINATION IS MADE. THEY ALSO HAVE NOT OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE OR A RENTAL CAR TO THE OWNER WHILE THIS PROCESS IS TAKING PLACE. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE FORD DEALER 5 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 MONTHS AND ROUGHLY 15 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE, IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I AM DRIVING AT OR AROUND 35 MPH MY TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND I WILL LOSE ALL POWER AND THE CAR WILL NEED TO BE RESTARTED. I HAVE PAID RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS IN REPAIRS AND RENTALS. I AM TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH IS UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 100,000 MILES. I AM STILL BEING CHARGED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, I LOSE ALL POWER AND HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, AND WHEN ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. THE TECHS HAVE TOLD ME "IT IS SUPPOSED TO DRIVE LIKE THIS" BUT I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT MY CAR HAS A BAD CLUTCH AND THAT THE CLUTCH IS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND IT COULD BE UP TO 6 MONTHS BEFORE IT IS REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO JUST KEEP DRIVING IT, WHEN I ASKED IF IT WAS SAFE THEY SAID "PROBABLY NOT, BUT IT IS MORE OF A PERSONAL PROBLEM OF MINE". THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM, AND I HAVE ZERO CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL EVER BE RESOLVED. FORD HAS HAD ME REPLACE EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY IN THE PAST 15 MONTHS AND THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM PERSISTS, NOW I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT IS THE CLUTCH IN MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT "IT IS NOT A HIGH PRIORITY FOR THE DEALER" SO ILL HAVE TO WAIT IT OUT AND KEEP RENTING CARS TO KEEP MY JOB AND STAY MOBILE. BASICALLY FORD WANTS ME TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL I TOTAL IT DUE TO THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND BUY ANOTHER CAR, OR TOTAL IT AND DIE AND NOT BOTHER THEM ANY MORE, BUT HEY THEY ALREADY HAVE MY MONEY. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T BUY AMERICAN THEY WAY THEY SHOULD, THE CARS DON'T RUN PROPERLY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR THESE COMPANIES IS ATROCIOUS AND UNSYMPATHETIC TO THE NEEDS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *JS
