2014 FORD FOCUS Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Be reaching out and taking my car to Ford for recalls within the time limit told me they did not see no code I replace it it breaks down put me and my daughter at risk on the highway unsafe and now I spent all my money and can’t afford another car because of Ford not Doing their job with the policy and the warranties the recalls I’ve been going through so much trying to fix this car and now I have to take a complete loss because it’s finally broken down and no one wants to take the car

I’m pretty sure the tcm went out because the check engine light is on and it is shuddering and losing power randomly. Also will not go into reverse unless I shut car off.

Car stalls and have had three car accidents and ford refused to pay for gas tank isoes and car does not start after it is used for a few mins. There is a serious mileage fluctuations and ford dealership tefises to repair failed recall and claim ford Corp will not pay for repairs so that is nothing to be seen. Car has been seen 3 ties after failed repair and ford will nit take any responsibility for tevlls that didn't work.. Ford might offered some repair program but honoring it is another matter. Ford is aware of car accidents and claim they rather be sues then Repair car.

My car smells like it’s leaking gas and when I took a flash light n went under the car it shows the tank and the hose connected to the tank has signs of it being wet but when the car is running it smells a lot worse and constantly is shaking, shuddering and causing my transmission to malfunction and I’ve read online that there was a re call # 14S20 But i can’t find it on this website

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2014 Ford Focus due to recurring error codes P0456 (Very Small Leak Detected), P1450 (Unable to Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum), and P2190 (System Too Rich at Idle). These issues relate to the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) and fuel tank system, which have caused symptoms such as intermittent Check Engine Light warnings, fuel odor, and difficulty refueling. These problems were confirmed by an independent service center during diagnostic testing, but the dealership refused to perform a goodwill fix, citing that my vehicle is not currently included in related recalls. This is particularly concerning because a large number of 2014 Ford Focus vehicles—approximately 1.5 million—have been recalled for similar issues with the EVAP and fuel systems, which pose risks such as fuel vapor leaks and stalling due to fuel system pressure irregularities. Although my VIN is not listed under the recall, the identical symptoms strongly suggest my vehicle should be included. I have not had the vehicle inspected by Ford or other representatives, but I urge NHTSA to investigate further as this is a significant safety concern that endangers me and others on the road.

-Canister Purge Valve malfunctioning. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. -This is a potential safety risk, makes and models within the same year are showing recall. When checking the specific VIN, does not appear to be covered under current recall. -Failure Code P1450 -No -Check Engine Light

Previous owner & myself have continually experienced transmission/clutch shudder and hard shifting from a stop. Have had clutch and/or clutch assembly replaced twice since 2015. The dealer wants to replace the clutch AGAIN! This is not correcting the faulty DPS6 transmission which I believe is faulty. Now am afraid to drive car and have been told by dealer that Ford will not do anything unless shudder reaches certain limit. They have now informed me there is a problem with the Fuel EVAP system, according to the latest error code which had a recall back in 2019, so that is expired. And the clutch Customer Satisfaction Program 19N08 has also, expired, leaving me with a car unsafe to drive for both issues. I contacted Ford Motor Co today, and was told there is no Conflict Resolution Dpt., that they only deal directly with the dealer.

Purge value. Code p1450. It tries die on me. Everytime I get gas my car has hard time starting. While driving last few days car tries die or make a surge forward. I'm still having trouble with this transmission ever since I bought it. I been back 3 times for them to adjust something.it has died on me while driving.

The vehicle has all of the mentioned issues from the recall for the stuck CPV. Check engine light illuminated directly after refueling. Codes present at P1450 and P0420. Noticeable change in drivability. My specific VIN is not showing affected by this recall however it meets every requirement to be considered eligible. If my local dealership will not cover this I will have to file a consumer affairs report and take my case to small claims court as this should be something FORD has to remedy due to they’ve already admitted negligence in the manufacture of this vehicle.

My card was recalled several years ago for a Purge Valve Canister. It was repaired but would still cut out sometimes. It is doing it again now, as a matter of fact when you pull up to a light or sudden stop it will stall the engine. Also when you fill up with gas, it does not want to start. I know that when it was fixed, the problem was a band aid fix. There is something in the vehicle causing this Purge Valve canister to malfunction. I think it should be covered under the SAME RECALL and it should be paid for by FORD.

Gas tank was filled and experienced erratic fuel gauge indication during drive. Parked vehicle and next day there was gasoline coming out of the bottom of the car. Towed and mechanic said the gas tank shows deformation, issue where the tube into tank/assembly is defective.

I was driving my 2014 Ford Focus electric car sometime in 2023 and the system told me to immediately pull over for no reason. I was able to pull it over but it would not start again after turning it off. I let it sit and came back the next day since I needed to go somewhere and it started. The car then had issues starting and I tried to diagnose with the dealership and we ended up recharging the battery because it was low. It was a little more consistent but it died again but this time it would not turn over. I finally got the car to the dealership to diagnose and it took them over a month to do so. It seems the High voltage wire harness was bad and needed to be replaced. It seems that this should be a recall because it is a major component and even a safety issue since the car died while driving.

I purchased a new 2014 Ford Focus Electric (FFE) in 2014. I have learned since then that every FFE develops a high voltage battery, the battery that powers the electric motor, coolant leak at no more than 80,000 miles, rendering the car inoperable. Ford will not repair the leak and will only sell a replacement battery. Ford has not issued a recall and is allowing the cooling system for a battery made from a highly combustible material to fail. The cooling system failure also requires the driver to get off the road immediately with the "Stop safely now" message and leaves the driver stranded with a useless car. The following are links about the FFE battery coolant leak. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Check engine light came on due to the code P0442. It was caused by a faulty purge valve, which my car was already recalled due to this. To my knowledge the valve was replaced. The check engine light is on again, same code. The purge valve was replaced again, but the engine light did not turn off. Upon further inspection, the fuel tank is deformed. The purge valve defect can cause the fuel tank to be vacuumed in on itself, and there happens to be another recall on this issue. My car is not part of this recall. Not only is the check engine light on for the deformed fuel tank, but my MPG number does not match up with the amount of mileage I actually have left. There needs to be another recall with the cars that were not in the original group recalled.

This car has had the clutch fork, clutch and tcm replaced since ive owned it and continues to still produce the same scary issue erratically. When it's not throwing codes it's sticking in gears, shifting hard, accelerating on its own (( almost went through a drive through window when it did this last)) this car is going to cause an issue/wreck. I Will be driving yhis car and the focus looses power, no steering, no acceleration available during the main issue im addressing today. It will flash the engine light and the cluster will continue to flash for about 30 seconds and you have no choice but to stop or pull over. What's fascinating and scary each time , it throws different codes. Anywhere from one code to up to 13 codes. I now carry a code reader in my glove box. Took me one hour and 17 minutes to get 8 blocks home in a very small, non traffic, town four or five days ago. Sometimes you can clear the code(s) and be on your way right away until the next dreaded failure. Or sometimes as soon as you turn the car back on it goes right back into loss of power and throwing codes. Nothing particular sets this off, not heat or cold temperatures. Not running the heater or A/C. Not driving fast, slow or in-between. Not turning or driving straight. Not driving short distances or long distances. Nothing is the same to produce this issue. This was tested by not only myself, husband and two mechanics. Ofcouse each time the codes say something different, TCM,clutch,clutch forks, gas, you name it the code was thrown ,ect. Even after the money pit of fixing the supposed issue(s) we still continue to have the EXACT SAME VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. Ford should eliminate these cars, crush them so nobody else falls victim to these failing known issues they've produced.

Car stalls, shakes,won’t accelerate properly, won’t go passed 35mph, engine fault light comes on, and car goes into limp home mode.

My Ford Focus died on me at a stop sign, when trying to start it sounded it seemed like it ran out of gas, put gas in and it leaked out onto the ground. I had it towed to the Sewell Ford in Fayetteville AR 72703. They replaced the R Tube Asv-Fuel Vapour Separa, Fuel Cannister-fuel vapour store, E Tank Esy-Fuel, Ax Sender and Pump Asy and AA Gasket. They said this happened because of pressure in the gas tank. They looked up the recall, that this is associated with and a Ford location in Frisco said it didn't need to be fixed. Obviously it did. I paid 3,173.88 for the repair work. I called Ford Corp number and they stated same as the other Ford location is we closed out without being repaired. Is there anything i can do?

I started having problems the minute I drove off the lot they told me my transmission was fine when I knew it wasn’t 2020 started going in to be repaired transmission needed rebuilt rear main seal needed to be replaced that’s when the tech realized my transmission needed to be rebuilt it’s been in the shop three or four times for the transmission and the clutches then I think my transmission started messing up again 2021 then found out it was misfiring replaced spark plugs and coils all of it now on top of all my other problems my check engine lights back on it’s flashing I’ve done the spark plugs again just replaced my O2 sensors going to take it back to a mechanic and have it looked at don’t know what’s going on I’m really worried that my coolant is leaking because it’s went down and done and now I just filled it up again and it looks like it’s dropping again i’m hoping it’s nothing because I just found out that the eco-boost motors are leaking coolant into the cylinder heads they’re saying trucks right now I think it’s in Canada in California I know I have a eco-boost your car flex fuel or whatever you wanna call it so I’m really hoping it’s nothing but problems after problems with his car and Ford doesn’t wanna do anything about it they gave me some money as a good faith thing but that’s it I got a hold of Ford and they will the lady called me once she says she called three times she won’t return my phone calls I was told that they wanted to buy my car back now they won’t do anything and like I said I’m having problems with it again these cars are crap they need to take all of them back and I’m sitting here reading even more people having issues that’s not OK and I don’t even know what’s wrong with my car right now

Previously we had our vehicle repaired due to a safety recall regarding the fuel tank canister purge valve. This component is malfunctioning again. I called Ford and was told this recall was no longer active. The vehicle and component are available for inspection as needed. Due to the vehicle stalling at any time this can cause a dangerous situation, especially at highway speeds. Additionally, the vehicle resists starting which could potentially leave us stranded. The check engine light is activated due to this problem which was diagnosed via On-board diagnostics device.

The canister purge valve is stuck open causing a vacuum inside the fuel tank. Fuel tank is currently deformed because of the vacuum. This issue has lead to a recall in other year models of the Ford Focus (2012 & 2017) but not the 2014 Ford Focus.

One day when I went to go fill my 2014 Ford Focus up, my car started and stalled randomly. I could not get my car to turn back on. After a few tries, it finally came on. This issue would go on for two weeks every time I filled up my car. If my car only gets $10 in it, its fine though. only happens when I fill it up. Then my car gas gauge started acting funny and will fluctuate between empty and full while driving. I can't tell how much gas I have in my vehicle. Then my husband, who so happens to be a mechanic, took a look and noticed my fuel tank is now caved in and is deformed. There is a problem with my CPV which has now affected my fuel tank. Upon further investigation, I did see where there was a recall about the power train quite a few years ago and then not long after, another recall about the CPV failing and causing stalling, not accurate gas gauges, and deformed gas tanks. I called my local Ford dealership about this. When I typed in my VIN the only active recall was the door latch system. Which means it was either fixed in the past or for some reason my vehicle wasn't recalled when it should have been. My ford dealership said there was no current or past recalls on my specific vin and were refusing to fix my car. I feel like it is unfair my car was affected by a recall but I can't get it fixed just because my vin says my car wasn't affected. It definitely was. I am a poor college student just trying to make a life of myself. I will soon have no car, unless my husband finds a way to fix it without spending an arm and a leg. Thanks for listening and please help me. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

01/08/2019- Vehicle was checked for fuel tank deformation (18S32) Vehicle Mileage 65,162 the technician comments read as follows (check dtcs, check for available PCM software update, no available software update, no parts replaced) 07/26/2022- Vehicle was brought to Billy Howell Ford Lincoln Dealership for a permanant emmissions code PO442. Ford Corporate arranged the Diagnostic appointment. The technician comments read as follows (checked dtc's. found multiple DTC's set in various modules. PO442 is only fault set in PCM. checked OASIS, no relevant information found. performed EVAP system test, passed. performed EVAP purge and seal test, passed. connected smoke machine to test for leaks. EVAP smoke machine measured a leak of approxamitely .040", near acceptable range. visual inspection during EVAP leak test, found smoke emitting from vapor canister fresh air vent tube, indicating EVAP vapor canister vent leakage. recommend replacing EVAP vapor canister and retesting. 07/30/2022- I took vehicle to have the EVAP vapor canister replaced mechanic noticed that the fuel tank was slightly deformed. I drove the vehicle approxamitely 120 miles so the PCM would cycle and clear the permanent code . Fuel guage was on empty w/light on. I stopped at gas station I put 26 dollars of e-85 in vehicle. when i returned to car the fuel gauge was reading full DTE 418 miles. The gauge was reading innacurate. I drove the car about 40 miles before it stalled and it would not start. I waited a few minutes and tried to start the vehicle and it started . Iimmediately drove home and parked it in the garage. All of these symptoms point to the recall (18S32) Billy Howell Ford say's my recall was already completed and I cant recall it again. The vehicle has never received a PCM reprogramming for the fuel tank (19S22) Ford was supposed to reprogram the PCM software back in 01/08/2019 when they checked for the tank deformation . Withouty the software update and necessary repairs. its a risk.

Cars check engine light comes on sporadically and the engine runs rough and cut off in traffic and transmisson jerks

I took car the get it service at Ford dealer In Nov 15 2021 after many months and many car dealers refusing or not having time to look at car and a few stalls. This being the second Ford focus same year and same problems that left us with bills that ford Corp refused to honor. Have names off peole but will leave it out. The advisor whom I was given and appt was made for transmission testing Ford said that iif I had it tested they would cover cost due to no parts to fix it due to shortages and backorders. The advisisor refused to have it tested since she said she tells all customers not to have them inspected I asked her what would be beneficial to that she got upset and limited any questions. I reported issue bt service Manger was gone for the day at 230pm. The latches and valves for tank deformations had not been started yet. Next morning after a messege and assurance issues would be dealt and advisor had said she would not deal with me service Manger tried to bully me into staying quiet. He said he would make sure advisor would help she didnt and very short time to do work which the fuel readings were worse then before. Shop foreman gave me his word that he woukd get transmission to be tested to keep agreement which he didn't follow thru after several messages and calls. And after car began to stall. Zero help from service dept. Ford Corp makes excuses never one solution to get it seen. Said i had to pay to have it seen. Zero help with dealers that refused to do recall and ford Corp work. After over 200 days and after reaching to owner of dealership that promised to make it right but service Manger refused to follow thru and after he told me to move on and go elsewhere. I got another dealer to check it but they only wanted the most expensive non covered work so I would have to say so. Not the top issue car went in. after 4 days and after ford Corp again making promises with worker not involved at all. So far 3500 bill Ford wants time but said no

The components and systems that failed are my engine and gas tank, they both are available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk, approximately two minutes before my vehicle slowed down enough to stop my brakes wouldn't work. Yes I have called the dealership and the problems that the representative listed explaining a recall; is what I have been experiencing with my vehicle. Yes, 6/15/2022 the day after my engine failed my car was diagnosed by All 4 U Auto and he confirmed that the engine had blown and along with the gasoline tank both needed replacements. No, there were no warning lamps nor messages prompting alerts of my vehicle. There were several symptoms of the problem prior to the failure that occurred before and after the Ford recall; 18S32. I completed the recall fuel tank deformation 1/3/2019. I am still experiencing issues with my gas tank, which are listed on the official Ford website. I can only pump approximately 80 miles worth of gas or 1/4 full worth of gas. If I pump anymore the vehicle will stall and require for me to restart it multiple times 2 - 10, the more I "over pump" the more I will have to restart and longer it will stall. During pumping even 1/4 worth of gas my entire vehicle will shake and make a loud sound, and with re cranking causing engine malfunction. The website mentions; "Owners are advised to maintain at least a half tank of fuel until their vehicle is serviced for this issue." although I can only pump 1/4 full worth of gas at a time. Another issue is I cannot leave the vehicle idle over 5 minutes, even when in traffic if I do not keep driving up 6 inches every five minutes it will turn off. This problem has negatively affected my battery, on a few occasions leaving the vehicle idle has caused my battery to need to be recharged and replaced. Lastly the vehicle does exactly what the recall mentions; "inaccurate fuel gauge readings". While pumping gas the mileage on the dashboard sometimes does not increase.

My car keep stalling while driving on the freeway with my daughter in the car skipping and jerking than it slow speed down extremely low no pressure at all very dangerous

On January 14, 2022, at approximately 5:20 P.M. my wife was traveling southbound on Pleasant Hill Road in Lafayette, California towards the freeway entrance when the Ford Focus Electric she was driving displayed a Stop Safely Now message and almost immediately thereafter lost motive power at the busiest intersection in the City of Lafayette. She was able to steer the car to the shoulder since she was in the right hand lane. The vehicle would not move and the steering wheel locked up. She called for assistance and I drove down and exchanged cars with her within approximately 15 minutes. After approximately 10 minutes of trying, I was able to get the vehicle to turn off and to turn on again without the Stop Safely Now warning and was able to return the approximately 1.5 miles to our residence. The sudden unexpected loss of motive power and loss of ability to accelerate is extremely dangerous and frightening and that danger can be extreme when traveling on roads without shoulders or in any lane except the right lane on a freeway.

This vehicle is experiencing a relapse of the same issues that led to a previous recall. It is experiencing fuel tank issues where the fuel gauge is unreliable and acts as though it is out of fuel despite reporting 1/4 tank. This has put the safety of occupants at risk as we were barely able to get off the highway in time before the vehicle came to a sudden and complete stop. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer as to do so will result in exorbitant out of pocket expense since Ford claims to have fixed the recall issue. That however, is not the case when it reoccurs a year later. Neither police nor insurance have inspected the vehicle as I was unaware that was a possibility The warning lamps that displayed were similar to a vehicle stalling out, which should not happen in an automatic transmission vehicle. It needs to be noted that this is a reoccurring issue of an allegedly fixed recall and Ford refuses to take any action on the matter.

my 2014 Ford Focus had a check engine light sensor alert on October 4th 2021. I scheduled for an appointment to have the vehicle serviced on October 18th 2021(closest time available). During the two week period I had noticed when I pumped gas that the engine seemed to have stalled when I tried to turn on the ignition. The second time the vehicle finally turned on but there was a low rumble noise. I gassed up a second time and I just heard a low rumble from the vehicle when I started the ignition. on 10/16/2021, I was low on gas but my low tank sensor did not go off so I figured I was okay to drive until I came to a gas station. My vehicle ended up stalling on a freeway while I was driving and I started to decelerate from 65 MPH to 60 and slowly decreasing. Nearly avoiding an accident I had my hazard lights on and slowly made my way to the emergency lane where I came to a complete stop and called for a tow. Upon getting my car serviced they determined that I needed a new fuel tank, fuel pump and purge valve due to the tank being warped. I had run out of gas, but my gauge and sensor did not detect that. Apparently this was a recall item a few years back but the manufacture said that my VIN was not on the recall list so I will have to pay this out of pocket.

The last 5 or 6 times when filling the gas tank , the gas pump shuts off as if the tank is full, it is not. This has happened at multiple gas stations in Monmouth County , NJ.

I know exactly what's wrong because it's a recall that's on certain Ford focuses of this year but apparently not mine for some reason even though I have the problem but it's the emissions control valve that's stuck open my car stalls out after I fuel. I'm having an extreme loss of power sometimes just being me having to push the pedal more down to losing all acceleration all together to where it shuts down the cruise control when I'm on the highway. It's running real rough on idle all of which are signs of this recall but because it's not covered under my car I'm having to pay $100 just to put the car in the shop to have them look at it and tell me what I already know and then I'm going to have to pay whatever it costs to repair it which I'm sure it's going to be 3 to $500 for a problem they've already admitted to lying about before and obviously are lying about now when they say that this series of Ford focus 2014 was not affected so now I have to pay out of pocket for being a Ford customer so I hope it's worth it to them to lose me as a customer for the rest of my life because of something that would have cost them two or $300. And my family for generations have been lifelong ford buyers my family is well known at our local trotter Ford my grandparents literally buy a new car every year and say they're taking their business elsewhere after finding out about this so I don't see where they think they're saving money by lying like they are.

Jan.26th 2018 I purchased a 2014 Ford Focus SE from Pacifico Ford. I was told by salesman No Recalls and No safety Issues. The car was on the lot with new inspection stickers. I was given a clean car fax. I was deceived. The car was returned the next day for driving improperly. It gave too much gas or not enough, was shuddering and sticking, steering issues, drifted to the right, and steering wheel had to be crooked to park to adjust the wheels, and car had a burn smell. Ford found transmission problem, engine leaking oil, clutch problem, cpu issues, failed road test and leaky seals. A week later, I was told all was fixed as new. April 23rd 2018 the car malfunctioned disabling me for life. While I was parking, the car accelerated forward, slammed into a barrier, roared up in the air, slammed down a slope and into a tree. Malfunction codes from an auto collision center were it was towed were achieved, one of which is an acceleration malfunction code. No air bags deployed, no warning. I found out after the malfunction there were many safety issues and recalls that I was not told of day of sale. Ford, a once trusted company, disabled me for life.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTER REFUELING AND STALLED WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH THIS CAR I AM UPSIDE DOWN ON IT. NOW ALL THE ELECTRICAL STUFF SEEMS TO BE SHORTING. I WAS DRIVING AND MY FUEL GAUGE KEPT GOING TO ZERO THEN BACK UP TO HALF A TANK. THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY HORN DOESN'T WORK WHICH IS IS HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME THOSE ARE JUST THE NEW ISSUES I ALSO HAVE HAD THE TCM REPLACED TWICE AND IT NEVER MADE A DIFFERENCE TO THE CAR.

Mileage: 108,000

MY MAIN CONCERN NOW IS THE DASH BOARD MESSAGE THAT READS ( STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY ) I HAVE LOST ALL POWER STEERING OF MY CAR AND CANNOT DRIVE IT. I ALMOST HAD A WRECK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE CAR IS NOW PARKED WAITING TO FIND OUT IF THIS A DEFECT AS WAS ON EARLIER MODELS OF THIS SAME MODEL. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING GAS GAUGE IS IRREGULAR READINGS BEFORE AND AFTER DRIVING AS WELL AS VERY POOR GAS MILEAGE CODE P1450

Mileage: 120,000

MY VEHICLE WAS PART OF RECALL NHTSA 18S32. MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT TUSCALOOSA FORD IN TUSCALOOSA, AL IN 2019. AT THE TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN MY GAS FUEL NEEDLE WOULD DROP TO EMPTY PERIODICALLY. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP, EVERYTHING APPEARED REPAIRED HOWEVER WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THE NEEDLE DROPPED TO EMPTY. I HAD NOT GOTTEN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE DEALERSHIP. I RETURNED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD TO JUST CONTINUE MONITORING THE PROBLEM AND KEEP MY TANK HALF FULL. I CALLED TO CHECK ON REPLACEMENT OF THE GAS TANK ON 1/25/21, AS I HAD RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE LIFE GOT IN MY WAY AND I HAD FAILED TO MONITOR CLOSE ENOUGH. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE DAY MY CAR WAS PICK D UP AND I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE MONITORING, THAT IT WAS DETERMINED I DID NOT NEED A NEW GAS TANK. THIS IS BULL!!! I HAVE MONITORED THIS PROBLEM FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND MY VEHICLE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE USELESS AS A TRADE-IN. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A NEW TANK UNDER 18S32 AND DID NOT. PLEASE REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT. I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THIS RECALL SO CHOOSE MAY1, 2019.

1. CLUTCH SLIPS IN TRANSMISSION CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL OR REACH DANGEROUS RPM'S BEFORE SWITCHING INTO ANOTHER GEAR. 2. REPAIR WAS DENIED BY FORD STATING THAT IT WASN'T RELATED TO THE CURRENT RECALL BUT WAS THE CLUTCHES THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CLUTCHES ARE GOING OUT DUE TO THE TCM THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE VEHICLE. 3. HORN HAS DECIDED TO STOP WORKING ALONG WITH CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. FUSES HAVE BEEN CHANGED ENSURING THAT IT IS A WIRING ISSUE. 4. HAZARD LIGHTS AS WELL AS HALF THE BUTTONS ON THE DASH INCLUDING RADIO, ETC. HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO STOP WORKING DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE. NO HAZARDS MAKING IT A RISK AND UNSAFE TO PULL VEHICLE OFF OF ROAD IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. 5. FORD DEALERSHIP THAT CAR WAS TAKEN TO STATED ALL RECALLS WERE COMPLETED BUT WHEN VIN IS ENTERED THROUGH FORDS WEBSITE IT STATES THAT ALL RECALLS ARE INCOMPLETE. FORD SENT ME A NOTICE FOR REPAIRS ON TRANSMISSION STATING IT WILL BE ALMOST $1400 TO REPLACE CLUTCHES IN TRANSMISSION. THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCHES IF THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE TO BEGIN WITH. REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE ON THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES AND FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS TO AN ISSUE THAT WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT FROM THE BEGINNING AND WAS NOT CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

MY CAR HESITATE AND JERKS WHEN ADVANCING FROM A STOP. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR AT TIMES DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN MORE THAN USUAL TO GET UP TO SPEED.I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACE BECAUSE THE INDICATOR DETECTED AN ISSUE, WASN'T AWARE THAT THIS WAS A RECALL.

ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED. VEHICLE WILL "STALL" WHILE IN MOTION OR WHILE POWERED ON BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE. IT'S AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE SO THE CAUSE OF THE STALL IS UNCLEAR. VEHICLE WILL BE INOPERABLE FOR 1-10 MINUTES, INCLUDING POWER STEERING WHILE THE SYSTEM RESETS. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHILE STOPPED - IN REVERSE, CLIMBING HILLS, STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" IN OCTOBER 2019 AND WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMETHING DOING WHILE ADDRESSING ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL RECALLS HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM. NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AND FORD CAN'T TELL US WHY. WE'VE BEEN STRANDED PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY IN THE PATH OF ON COMING TRAFFIC, BLOCKING ONE LANE ROADS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND AT INTERSECTIONS.

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AT THE RED LIGHTS WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THEN MY DAUGHTER HAS TO PUT ON THE HAZARD (SHE IS 17) AND PUT IT PARK, THEN PRAY THE VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN. JUST HAD THE 2 RECALLS DONE HOWEVER WAS TOLD WE NEED BY A PURGE VALVE WHICH I FOUND ONLINE WITH THESE YEAR MODELS WHEN I LOOK UP 2014 FORD FOCUS SHUTTING DOWN DURING WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT. IT ALSO STRUGGLES TO GET IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. IT SHUTTERS AND JUMPS. ONCE YOU GET THE VEHICLE OVER 40-50 MPH ON THE ROAD IT FEELS OKAY BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, GOOD LUCK. MY DAUGHTER IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO WALKER FORD, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE HOWEVER ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE DRIVING?

FOR SOME TIME NOW I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET 2 RECALLS FIXED ON MY VEHICLE : 18V735 AND 16V643. WHEN I PREVIOUSLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET FOR THE RECALLS. JUST YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE CAR THE REAR DOOR CAME OPEN BY ITSELF AND NOW WILL NOT CLOSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (LOGANVILLE FORD IN MONROE GEORGIA) WHO TOLD ME 1. THAT THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR THE REPAIR UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY (9/9) AND 2. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED FIRST THAT HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE FOR A WEEK WITH A DOOR THAT WOULD NOT CLOSE? AND SECOND THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID TO MY VEHICLE , THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FORD AND / OR THE DEALERSHIP NEEDED TO PROVIDE A LOANER OR A RENTAL (AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE) UNTIL THE SAFETY REPAIRS CAN BE ADDRESSED AND MADE. I FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER OTHER REPAIRS AS IT IS A HAZARD AND SOMEONE CAN GET HURT. BOTH FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE BOTH DENYING USE OF A LOANER AND I AM YET TO HEAR BACK ABOUT A RENTAL AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE AND I DO NOT THINK IT WILL COME TO FRUITION. I AM GOING TO REITERATE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DID TO MY VEHICLE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RECALL THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IF THE LATCHES CAN BE REPLACED ON ALL 4 DOORS AND THE FUEL TANK DEFORMATION CAN ALL BE REPAIRED IN A FEW HOURS I HAVE NO PROBLEM WAITING ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER WE KNOW THAT THESE REPAIRS NEVER TAKE LESS THAN ONE DAY, ALL REPORTS I READ SAY IT MAY TAKE UP TO 4. THAT SAID, FORD NEEDS TO PROVIDE EITHER A LOANER OR A RENTAL AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT MINE. THIS IS MY LAST STOP TO GET CLOSURE IN THIS CASE, I HAVE SPOKEN TO FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE AND AM NOT GETTING ANYWHERE, MY NEXT STOP WILL BE TO THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL NEWS.

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE, MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO STALL AND I KEPT PUNCHING THE GAS AND IT WAS LIKE THE KEY WAS OFF. LUCKILY, EVEN THO I WAS IN TRAFFIC, I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THERE WAS A SHOULDER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON. YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND IT QUICKLY STALLS. WHEN I GOT MY VEHICLE TO BE CODE READ, IT SAID ,'NO FUEL DELIVERED TO THE FUEL RAIL.' I COULD HAVE CAUSED OR BEEN IN A HORRIBLE WRECK IF LUCK HAD NOT BEEN THAT I WAS CLOSE TO A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER AT. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING IN MULTIPLE LANES THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

I WANT TO FINE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE FORD DEALER. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS WITH PROBLEM. IT'S BECAUSE OF GAS EVAPORATIONS. I HAD WITH ME A LATTER THAT FORD SEND ME TO ME FOR RECALL WHICH I HAD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR IT. SUPPOSEDLY THEY REPAIRED THAT, WHEN THEY NEVER DID AND PROOF OF THIS IS THAT THERE IS THE PROBLEM AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION THEY JUST MARKED DONE AND THEY NEVER DID I, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND NOW I HAVE IT. THEY DON'T WANT TO REPAIRED THOSE 2 FACTORY FAILURES. I WANT TO SEE WHAT CAN I DO TO THEY FIX IT AT NOT COST SINCE. IT'S A FACTORY FAILURE AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT PROBLEM. THAT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THEY SAID THAT IN THE LATTER THEY SEND ME. I SEND YOU A PICTURE I HAD. THEY TOOK THE ANOTHER ONE.

I WANT TO KNOW WHY THE PEOPLE DRIVING THIS YEAR OF FORD FOCUS HAVE NOT BEEN COMPENSATED BY FORD FOR ALL OF THE "DEFECTS" ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE? IN 3 YEARS TIME, I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, SHOCKS, REPAIRED OIL LEAK, VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE AND REPLACED TIRES OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. THE RECALLS ARE UNREAL! I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR "FUEL TANK DEFORMATION RECALL", THE "TCM CLUTCH SHUTTER" HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. NOT TO MENTION THE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR THAT TO BE FIXED, ONLY TO BE TOLD IT WASN'T THE PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS LATER VERIFIED THAT IT WAS. AND NOW I RECEIVE NOTICE THAT THE DOORS FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING! I CAN'T TRADE IT IN, BECAUSE I AM $3,000 UPSIDE DOWN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT WORTH SQUAT.I HAVE LOST EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED MY AND MY FAMILY'S QUALITY OF LIFE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE PROBLEMS IT HAS CAUSED. I HAVE BEEN LOSING GAS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS AND THE MECHANIC'S CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. WHEN I FILL UP, THE MILES TO EMPTY WILL SHOW FOR EXAMPLE 274, WHEN I DRIVE 1 MILE BY THE ODOMETER, THE MILES TO EMPTY HAS INDICATED 6. THAT IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY I HAVE LOST IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN FORCED TO COMPENSATE US UNFORTUNATE PEOPLE THAT GOT "STUCK" WITH A VEHICLE THEY KNEW HAD ISSUES! I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE STATED ABOVE BUT THERE ARE OVER 100 PIECES OF PAPER. IF YOU REQUIRE THIS FROM ME I CAN MAKE COPIES AND SEND TO YOU BUT TO UPLOAD EVERYTHING IS TOO MUCH. PLEASE HELP! I WOULD LIKE TO GET INTO A VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE FOR ME AS WELL AS MY FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN FEAR SINCE A WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED THIS IN JAN 2017! *TR

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR NHTSA #18V735 CANISTER PURGE VALVE/FUEL TANK DEFORMATION. WHEN VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY FORD OF GAITHERSBURG DEALERSHIP (MARYLAND) FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT IN JULY, 2019, DEALERSHIP ALSO CHECKED RECALLED CPV AND DEEMED IT WAS FINE AT THAT TIME. IN EARLY OCTOBER, 2019, APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER, CPV STARTS FAILING, REMAINING "STUCK" OPEN, AND VEHICLE DOESN'T START AFTER FUELING. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTS, VEHICLE'S ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REVVED IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM STALLING. FORD AND DEALERSHIP SAY THEY WILL NO LONGER PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF RECALLED CPV BECAUSE "IT WAS FINE WHEN THEY CHECKED IT" TWO MONTHS PRIOR. OWNERS WITH RECALLED VEHICLES HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2019 FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF PRIOR CPV FIX OR COVERED REPLACEMENT OF FAILED, RECALLED PART, HOWEVER. WHILE THIS HAS NOT YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD, IT IS A RECALLED PART ON OUR VEHICLE, AND FORD SHOULD STILL COVER REPLACEMENT OF RECALLED PARTS, ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE WITHIN THE GIVEN TIME FRAME OF COVERED REPLACEMENT. ALSO, IF WE HAD NOT HAD TO BRING VEHICLE IN FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT JUST TWO MONTHS EARLIER, THE RECALL WOULD STILL BE OPEN ON OUR VEHICLE.

AFTER 2 VISIT TO FORD THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED TO WAIT FOR A LETTER IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REPLACE PARTS THEY HAVE. THE CAR IS RUNNING LEAN BANK 1. WHEN FUELING, IT STALLS. IT HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVE ON A FEW OCCASIONS. THE FUEL ITSELF, GOES QUICK, NOW THAT THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. GETTING UNDER THE CAR, FUEL TANK LOOKS DEFORMED AS WELL AND THE CODE I GET IN THE CAR IS P0171. IT'S BEEN CLOSE TO YEAR SINCE IT'S STARTED AND I STILL HAS NOT RECEIVED A LETTER.

CAR HAS BEEN IN DEALER AT FRED GRANDE FORD FOR OVER A MONTH FOR RECALLS ON TRANSMISSION AND FUEL TANK NO RESOLUTION RECALL 18 V DASH 735 AND TRANSMISSION SHUTTER DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR A VEHICLE AND IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME A FEE FOR A RECALL

CAR STALLS AT WILL, GAS GAUGE & MILES TO EMPTY ALWAYS WRONG, LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER COMES ON AND HAS HUGE PROBLEM W/ ACCELERATION. IT OFTEN SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN I HIT GAS PEDAL, ALSO TAKES FOREVER TO GET UP TO SPEED. IF IT'S NOT SHAKING VIOLENTLY THEN IT JUST STALLS, LITERALLY DIES, WILL NOT RESTART. FORGET FUEL GAUGE. NOT ONLY IS IT ALWAYS WRONG, IT CHANGES AT WILL. I GO UP OR DOWN A HILL, GAUGE & MILES TO EMPTY CHANGES. LOW FUEL INDICATOR NEVER LIGHTS UP SO WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. LAST TWO TIMES IT STALLED ON HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. ENGINE JUST CUT OUT, DIED & WOULD NOT RESTART. HAS BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS FOR SAME ISSUES. FIRST INCIDENT, KINDLE FORD IN CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ HAD IT 9 DAYS OVER LABOR DAY HOLIDAY. FINALLY ADVISED REPAIRS ELIGIBLE UNDER RECALL HOWEVER WAITING FOR PARTS, SPECIFICALLY FUEL TANK, WHICH ACCORDING TO FEDEX WAS IN TRANSIT. 'LUCKY FOR ME' HE SAID, FINALLY HAD LOANER AVAILABLE. I'M WALKING TO GET LOANER WHEN SUDDENLY TECH YELLS OVER THAT MY CAR IS DONE! WHAT? HE JUST SAID TANK WAS IN TRANSIT! RELUCTANTLY TOOK MY CAR ONLY TO HAVE IT DIE AGAIN. HAD IT TOWED TO KINDLE AGAIN AND HE SAID CAR STARTED RIGHT UP FOR HIM AFTER HE PUT GAS IN IT. HE IMPLIED I RAN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE GAUGE WAS PINNED ON EMPTY. I HAD PUT GAS IN IT THAT MORNING. GAUGE INDICATES IT WAS LOW BUT IT WAS NOT PINNED ON EMPTY (SEE PHOTO). AND IF THAT WAS THE CASE, WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON (SEE PHOTO). NOW THEY ARE SAYING THEY CAN'T FIX IT UNTIL THEY REPLICATE PROBLEMS FOR THEMSELVES. AS IF I WAS LYING! CAR DOESN'T DO IT WHEN THEY DRIVE IT SO WHAT DO I DO? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR BUT I HAVE TO GO TO WORK, ETC. I JUST HOPE MY SON & I AREN'T KILLED WHEN CAR UNEXPECTEDLY STALLS AGAIN WHILE WE ARE ON THE HIGHWAY.

ALL DOCUMENTS HAVE VIN AND MY NAME ON THEM, SO CANT UPLOAD THEM. MULTIPLE DATES OF SERVICE, BUT AM LISTING THE LAST DOS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WKS SO FAR. AWAITING LIST FOR A LOANER CAR IS 3 WKS OUT. I AM WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION STILL. CURRANT DOS IS AN APPROXIMATE DATE, AS IT IS STILL WITH THE FORD MECHANIC. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BC I INHERITED RAISING 2 GRANDCHILDREN, AND NEEDED A ECONOMICAL AND RELIABLE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THEM TO AND FROM DR APPTS, SCHOOL, PRESCHOOL ECT, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS ANYTHING BUT RELIABLE. IT'S BEEN AN EXPENSIVE NIGHTMARE. MY EXTENDED WARRANT ALREADY PAID FOR THIS FIX LAST TIME, AND NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT MY POLICY MAXIMUM MAY HAVE BEEN REACHED, THUS MAKING ME RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BALANCES DUE FROM THIS REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WORK BC OF UNRELIABLE TRANSPORTATION, AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONIES TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS DESIGN FLAW IN THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. THE PROBLEM RECURS CONTINUOUSLY. IF MY WARRANY POLICY DOESNT PAY FOR THESE AND FUTURE REPAIRS, ND FORD ISN'T PAYING THEM, I WILL EITHER HAVE TO HAVE THE BANK REPOSSESS THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY SUED BY FORD FOR NON PAYMENT. I HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY JUST FILING BANKRUPTCY. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP ME OUT OF THIS MESS? FORD WILL NOT TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK BC IT HAS OVER 60,000 MILES ETC. UNABLE TO SELECT BOXES, DUE TO FROZEN BOXES.

THERE ARE TWO OPEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE THE WINTER OF 2018 ABOUT HAVING THE RECALL WORK DONE. THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME AND HAVE ONLY STATED THAT THEY WILL WHEN THERE IS A FIX AVAILABLE. AS OF THIS WEEK, 08/14/19, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TOOK TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THEM RUN THE CODE. TWO CODES CAME BACK AND BOTH ARE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE RECALLS IN QUESTION INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE CAN STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING, AND THIS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN A COLLISION. THE CAR IS NOW NOT RUNNING AT ALL. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT FORD HAS TAKEN CLOSE TO A YEAR TO FIX THEIR ERRORS WHICH HAVE CAUSED THESE RECALLS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SAFETY IS A CONCERN.

I HAD A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT I'M FILING NOW . THE RECALL WAS FUEL DEFORMATION INSPECTION, FORD INSTALLED A FUEL VAPOUR SEP THE RECALL NUMBER IS 18S32. NOW THIS PROBLEM WAS ORIGINALLY FIXED 3/18/19 . IT IS 8/13/19 THAT I AM BACK AT THE SAME LOCATION FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHICH INCLUDES LOW FUEL PRESSURE , THE GAS ISN'T GETTING TO THE ENGINE (CENSOR) AND THE CAR STOPS OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY .

MY CAR IS PART OF THE 18S32 (FORD) RECALL FOR THE "FUEL TANK DEFORMATION". I HAD IT SERVICED IN MARCH IN BOLIVAR, MO AT BILL GRANT FORD DEALERSHIP. THE REPROGRAMMED THE PART AS NEEDED DUE TO THE MIL BEING ON WITH THE CODE AND STATED THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN FIXED AND FORD HAS CLOSED THE RECALL ON MY CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER FUELING AND IT COULD TAKE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 MINUTES TO UPWARDS OF 45 MINUTES FOR IT TO BE ABLE TO START AFTER FUELING, WHICH LEAVES ME STRANDED AT TIMES. THEIR REPAIR LASTED ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AND IT WAS BACK TO DOING IT AGAIN SO I AM BACK AT SQUARE 1 WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF WAITING TO GET IN THE SHOP. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE JIM TRENARY FORD DEALSHIP IN MOSCOW MILLS, MO WHERE I RESIDE. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE PURGE VALVE IS FAILING DUE TO THE RECALL, AS THE RECALL STATES EXACTLY. AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE RECALL IS CLOSED ON MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS REPAIRED ONCE, FORD IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT. IT IS NOT MY OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS THIS IS 100% FORD'S FAULT AND I WILL NOT PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR IT. FORD ISSUES THE NEW RECALL (19S22) AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL BUT YET IT NEEDS TO BE AS THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO FORD AND THEY STATE THAT THEY WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH PAYING FOR THE REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THEIR RECALLED PART. OR THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL FOR A MORE BROAD SPECTRUM OF VEHICLES AS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I REQUEST THE HELP OF THE NHTSA TO ASSIST ME WITH HAVING FORD FIX WHAT THEY BROKE. THANK YOU.

PRIOR TO, THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER, ALMOST ROCK BACK AND FORTH AT SLOW SPEEDS EITHER IN THE PARKING GARAGE, PARKING LOTS, AT HOME. RECENTLY THE CAR HAD A ROUGH TIME TURNING OVER AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION. THE CAR SHUDDERED AND SEEMED TO HAVE A HARD TIME MOVING. ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAD HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, HOWEVER, WHEN THE CODE WAS CHECKED IT WENT AWAY (P144A). WITH WHAT I WAS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PURGE VALVE HAD TO BE REPLACED.

THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR UPON SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND SHAKES LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ADEQUATE FUEL. THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE WANTS TO STALL. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN GOING IN REVERSE BUT ONLY WHEN IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THE OWNER DID NOT HAVE A MANUAL FOR THE VEHICLE. I STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2019. THE ORIGINAL OWNER SAID HE HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGE INDICATED THE CAR HAD ABOUT 60 MILES TO GO BEFORE EMPTY. NOW, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT. WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL OUT.

TAKATA GAS TANK RECALL: LAST YEAR AT 68,000 MILES I TOOK MY CAR INTO DEALERSHIP FOR GAS TANK RECALL. IT WAS REPAIRED AND THERE WERE NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT. IT STARTED JERKING AND STALLING A LOT AND I REALIZED IN THE PAST WEEK I HAD STOPPED TO GET GAS EVERY DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAVE PUT A TOTAL OF $55 IN TO DRIVE 300 MILES. I STARTED NOTICING THE MILES TO EMPTY DROPPING RAPIDLY JUST DRIVING LESS THAN 1 MILE.I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHO DID NOT PERFORM A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND TOLD ME TO COME PICK THE VEHICLE UP, THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED A YEAR AGO. SO I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PEOBLEM AND WAS TOLD I COULD ONLY HAVE THAT PROBLEM FIXED ONCE! THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD OPEN A CASE#CAS22299572 AND I WOULD HEAR BACK IN 1 BUSINESS DAY. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING AND I CAN'T GO TO WORK FOR FEAR OF THE CAR "BLOWING UP" ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS WE AS FORD FOCUS OWNERS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH? OUR LIVES AND OUR FAMILY'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE. I HAVE LOT JOBS, BEEN WORRIED SICK, NOT TO MENTION THE TIME I HAVE WASTED TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR TGE SAME THING TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME. THIS HAS BEEN INGOING FOR 4 YEARS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND GAS TANK PROBLEMS. WHY IS FORD NOT OFFERING SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION TO THOSE OF US AFFECTED BY A VEHICLE THEY KNEW HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY WERE PUT ON THE MARKET TO SELL! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND AND NOW IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING EXPENSES, I WILL HAVE TO GET A RENTAL CAR SO AI DON'T BLOW UP. PLEASE HELP!

TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE

TCM RECALL PURCHASED VEHICLE MAY 2016. THROUGH 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEACH FORD APPROX. 3X FOR REGULAR SERVICE INCLUDING OIL CHANGE AND AIR FILTER. WHILE VEHICLE WAS AT BEACH FORD, I REQUESTED SERVICE DEPARTMENT CHECK THE TRANSMISSION/DUAL CLUTCH MECHANISM DUE TO NOTICEABLE STUTTERING WHILE DRIVING. AT THE TIME OF RECEIVING VEHICLE BACK, I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE EACH TIME. 7/3/2019 - I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK 30 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME. WHILE MAKING RIGHT HAND TURN, THEN ACCELERATED VEHICLE JOLTED WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. UPON FURTHER ACCELERATION, DETERMINED VEHICLE COULD NOT GO ABOVE 25-30MPH. ONCE PARKED TO ADDRESS UNKNOWN MECHANICAL ISSUE, ATTEMPTED TO REVERSE OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND DISCOVERED VEHICLE HAD LOST REVERSE. CONTACTED BEACH FORD EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AS WELL AS EXPLAINING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 30 MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME AND NOT DRIVABLE. THE SERVICE ADVISER STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A TOW TRUCK AND COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE SERVICE CENTER. 7 HRS LATER AFTER GOING THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY WITH ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BEACH FORD WITHIN MINUTES OF THE SERVICE DEPT CLOSING.

I PURCHASED THIS FORD W 15000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 37000 MILES. I FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS A LEMON. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES REQUIRING ME TO GO FORD DEALERSHIP. FIRST THE GAS INFORMATION WAS INCORRECT. IT SAID I HAD 26 MILES TO DRIVE BUT RAN OUT OF GAS. THEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR GOT STUCK IN BETWEEN GEARS. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THEN THE I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THE I COULD NOT PUT CAR INTO REVERSE. AS A RESULT CAR WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AND RECALL. THE ITEMS FIXED WERE GAS TANK RECALL, ENGINE MOUNT, CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, AND (RESERVOIR TANK THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). I PICKED UP CAR AND NEXT DAY I DROVE TO WORK WITH THE SAME ISSUES. GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING. TAKE BAKE TO DEALER AND FIXED TRANSMISSION MODULE. NOW THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY CHARGED ME 160$ TO LOOK AT IT. IT WILL COST 1800$ TO FIX STEERING. THIS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE SUSPENSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SOON. HE STATED THAT SUSPENSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT 50000 MILES MY CAR ONLY HAS 37000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER REPLACED SUSPENSION IN ANY OTHER CAR. IT MAKES NO'S SENSE WHY THIS CAR IS FALLING APART WITH 37000 MILES ON IT. IT'S A LEMON AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!

THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY IT SPUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN ACCELERATING IT DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY LIKE ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. ALSO WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND GO TO ACCELERATE IT JUMPS FORWARD. THIS CAR ALSO HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING AS IT IS SHIFTING GEARS. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A DATE AT THE BOTTOM THIS HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER ITS THE WAY I DRIVE IT THE COMPUTER SHIFTING HAS TO GET USE TO MY DRIVING HABITS.

WHEN TEST DRIVING THIS 2014 FORD FOCUS I FELT THE CAR SHUDDER ON TAKE OFF AND WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC HESITATION. I ASKED THE SALESMAN ABOUT THIS AND JUST SHRUGGED IT OFF AS NO BIG DEAL. AFTER PURCHASING THE AUTO I HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER IN PARSONS, KS. AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WAY I WAS ACCELERATING. NO WAY THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. AFTER 3 DIFFERENT RETURNS AND WORK DONE IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. I AM 82YRS OLD AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. FORD MOTOR KNEW THEY PUT OUT A FAULTY VEHICLE BUT SOLD IT ANYWAY. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100000 MILES BUT EACH TIME YOU RETURN FOR SERVICE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. FORD SUPPOSEDLY PUT OUT A NOTICE TO REPAIR THESE CARS WHEN THEY CAME IN ON 7-12-2019 TO 7-19-2019 BUT WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND COULD ONLY DO ANYTHING IF TOLD BY FORD. I CONTACTED PITTSBURG FORD ON 7-19-2019 AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER BUT UNABLE TO LOCATE HIM SO I LEFT MY NAME AND PHONE NUMBER AND HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM HIM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. ON OCCASION THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS/

TAKATA: THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS IF YOU PUT GAS IN THE CAR THE CAR WILL NOT START YOU HAVE TO KEEP TURNING AND PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL IT REGISTER THAT THERE IS GAS IN THE CAR. THE READ WILL SAY 98 MILES UNTIL YOU NEED GAS BUT IF YOU DONT PUT GAS IN BEFORE THEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF AND THAT READS AT ABOUT A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. THEN THERES TIMES I GET INTO THE CAR TO GO AND THE STEERING COLUMN WILL LOCK TO WHERE YOU CANT EVEN TURN THE WHEEL. I LOOKED IT UP AND I SEE THERES BEEN PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN PLUS IT LITES UP IN THE CAR STEERING WHEEL DEFAULT I CALLED THE FORD BUT THERE SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL ON ANY OF THE TWO THINGS IM TALKING ABOUT. ITS NOT SAFE WHAT IF THE WHEEL DECIDES TO LOCK WHILE I AM DRIVING OR THE CAR SHUTS OF BECAUSE IT READ 98 MILES BEFORE YOU NEED GAS BUT THATS NOT THE CASE. I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE WHEEL LOCKED. WITH THE GAS WAS ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR SHUT OFF LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO A GAS STATION.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS WITH MY 2014 FORD FOCUS RELATED TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. BESIDES ROUGH SHIFTING AND LOTS OF SHUDDERING OVER THE YEARS, MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 2 DIFFERENT TIMES. I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE GOING MORE THAN 65 MILES PER HOUR, AND I HAD TO COAST THROUGH HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SHOULDER (BOTH TIMES). THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS JULY 29TH, 2017 IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. THE 2ND TIME WAS JUNE 6TH, 2019 ON THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY IN BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA. BOTH TIMES WERE VERY SCARY AND PUT MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK FOR A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. EARLY ON, THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE ROUGH TRANSMISSION IS NORMAL AND WOULD GET BETTER IF I IMPROVED MY DRIVING HABITS. MORE RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL AGAIN BUT THAT THE WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED.

EVERYTHING NORMAL. 6/09/19, I WAS DRIVING DOWN CITY STREET 40MPH DRIVING STRAIGHT THE CAR DOWN SHIFTED SUDDENLY AND A WARNING " TRANSMISSION FAULTY, SERVICE NOW" CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME , THE CAR WOULDNT SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR. I ATTACHED BOTH SERVICES DONE . AFTER THE SECOND SERVICE WAS DONE TO MY VEHICAL IT STILL SHUDDERED WHEN ACCELERATING. 6/29/19 THIS OCCURED TWICE THE SAME DAY, I WAS WAITING AT AN INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN INTO A GAS STATION, WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO TURN, I LET MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE AND MY CAR INCHED FORWARD WHILE I HIT GAS AND MY CAR DID NOT MOVE, I WAS NEARLY HIT BOTH TIMES , THE LAST SECOND WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR JERKS INTO GEAR. IVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT FIXING THIS ISSUE , IVE LEFT MESSAGES WITH NO CALL BACK, I FINALLY GOT A SERVICE CALL SET BUT NOT UNTIL JULY 30TH. THIS HAS NOW OCCURED ALMOST EVERYDAY SINCE 6/29/19. THE CAR DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS , IT SEEMS TO ONLY DO IT IF IM BELOW A HALF A TANK , OR THE FIRST 60 MILES ON A FULL TANK. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING THIS CAR THAT WHEN I HIT THE GAS THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV U[ AND NOT MOVE AND GET HIT. THE CAR ALWAYS HAD A SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING SINCE WE PURCHASED IT 1/12/16, BUT THE SALES PERSON INSISTED WITH NEW FUEL SAVING SYSTEM THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY NORMAL. I DIDNT HAVE ANY MAJOR ISSUES BESIDES THE SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING, AND WHEN I WOULD START MY CAR UP THE FIRST TIME AFTER FILLING UP, UNTIL I GOT THE RECALL FIXED, NOW IVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES.

WITH THIS MANY CLUTCH REPAIRS FORD NEW THEY HAD AN ISSUE. EVEN THOUGH FORD GAVE ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN 2016 DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH MY CAR, THEY BACKDATED THE WARRANTY TO THE DATE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THIS ALSO SEEMS DECEPTIVE. NUMEROUS TIMES I WAS TRAVELING ON INSTERTATE ROADS, WHEN I PULLED OUT TO PASS A SEMI, THE CAR WOULD CUT OUT. WHEN ACCELLERATING IN THE CITY OR ON INSTERTATES, THERE WOULD BE NO ACCELERATION WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELATOR. JUST THE OPPOSITE WOULD HAPPEN. THE CAR WOULD CAUGH AND CHOKE BEFORE FINALLY CATCHING TO ACCELORATE. I BELIEVE BOTH FORD AND THE DEALER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WITH ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES THIS CAR HAS HAD, AND CONTINUES TO HAVE.

MY CAR WAS SUPPOSED BE FIXED, ACCORDING TO THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM FORD, IN JANUARY 2019. FORD HAS PROVIDED NO UPDATES FOR THIS FIX. WHEN I CONTACT FORD, I AM TOLD THERE IS NO TIME TABLE FOR A FIX. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I AM TOLD BY FORD TO NOT DRIVE UNDER HALF A TANK OF GAS AND NOT TRUST THE GAS GAUGE. THIS NEEDS TO GET FIXED ASAP.

I HAD THE RECALL FIXED ON 5/17/2019 AND MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL. I KEEP MY TANK ABOVE HALF OR FULL AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL WITH EVEN A FULL TANK. MY CAR WAS STALLED ON I 294 IN ILLINOIS ONE OF THE BUSIEST TOLLWAY NEAR THE CHICAGO AIRPORT.

FORD FOCUS GAS RECALL. PART WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN FOR REPAIR DECEMBER 2018

IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KORF MOTORS FORD LINCOLN (LOCATED AT 520 E CHESTNUT ST, STERLING, CO 80751, (970) 522-1500) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE).

FORD MOTOR CONTACTED ME LAST YEAR ABOUT A RECALL, 18V735. EACH TIME I CONTACT THEM, THE DATE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS HAS BEEN DELAYED FARTHER OUT INTO THE FUTURE. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2019. I FEEL THAT FORD IS STRINGING ME ALONG, AND THAT PARTS WILL NEVER BE AVAILABLE. THE LONGER THEY DELAY, THE LESS UNSAFE VEHICLES THEY WILL HAVE TO FIX. I THINK ACTION, IN THE FORM OF LARGE FINES, NEEDS TO BE TAKEN, IN ORDER TO GET FORD TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATIONS.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FMC) ISSUED A RECALL (18S32) IN DECEMBER OF 2018, COPY ATTACHED WITH NOTES OF DATES I FOLLOWED UP WITH THEM. THE ISSUE IS "ON YOUR VEHICLE, THE ENGINE MAY STALL DUE TO A STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) WITHIN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM." THEIR RECALL LETTER INDICATED THAT "PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE BY 1ST QUARTER, 2019." I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH FMC THREE TIMES, THE LAST OF WHICH WAS ON 6/24/19 WHEN I "CHATTED" WITH LACY. THAT CHAT WAS TOTALLY UNSATISFACTORY. BASICALLY ALL I HEARD WAS THE CANNED RESPONSE AND NO REAL INDICATION THAT FMC HAS PLACED ANY PRIORITY ON FIXING THE UNSAFE CONDITION. MY HOPE IS THAT YOU CAN "ENCOURAGE" FMC TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND MAKE THE NECESSARY PARTS AVAILABLE ON AN EXPEDITED BASIS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY CARS ARE SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL, BUT I KNOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY WHERE IT CAN UNEXPECTEDLY STALL AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO ME, MY FAMILY, OR SOME OTHER INNOCENT PERSON. ANY "ENCOURAGEMENT" YOU CAN PROVIDE FMC TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AND APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. DAVE

THE CAR HESITATES EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT DOES THIS WHEN YOU ARE STATIONARY AND FIRST STARTING OUT AND WHEN YOU ARE ALREADY IN MOTION. SOMETIMES IT'S SO PRONOUNCED THAT I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO STALL COMPLETELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE 1ST DAY I BOUGHT IT AND THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. SOMETHING ABOUT A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRANSMISSION.

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY 2014 FORD FOCUS TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY CAR GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING ERRATIC MILEAGE AND BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD A RECALL. I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I TOOK IT IN. MY GAUGE STILL KEPT SHOWING ERRATIC MILEAGE.I WENT BACK 5 DAYS LATER TTO TELL THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I ASKED WHAT PROCEDURE THEY HAD DONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ONLY REPROGRAMMED A MODULE. I TOLD THEM IF THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD BUT THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL. THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME OUT AND IT TURNED OUT THAT MY CAR NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP, CANISTER PURGE VALVE, AND FUEL TANK. I TOLD THEM THAT THOSE THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO FORD INTERNAL SOMETHING AND FORD SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED AND THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY NOW. I MEAN HOW DOES A COMPANY LIKE FORD CAN BE SO UNPROFESSIONAL ABOUT SOMEBTING LIKE THIS. I MEAN PART OF THE RECALL IS TO TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO GET THOSE THINGS FIXED THAT THE FORD ASSEMBLY LINE FAILED TO ADDRESS WHEN MAKING THE MODEL. NOW I AM EVEN MORE SCARED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT GAS MILEAGE IT HAS.

IN DECEMBER 2018 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT WOULD NOT START EITHER UNTIL HOURS LATER. TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AFTER TELLING THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF A FUEL PUMP RECALL. I GOT A LETTER LATER THAT MONTH AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN TO FORD AND CHECKED OUT, SAYING THE PART WAS RECALLED IN OCTOBER. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED PRIOR AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO STALL ON HIGHWAY. THEN A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. WHENEVER MY FUEL IS KIND OF LOW THE CAR JUST STALLS AND I CAN'T START IT. I WAS ABLE TO GET GAS AND JUMP MY CAR AND GET IT HOME AND HAS BEEN FINE SINCE, BUT I WENT INTO FORD THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD THEM THAT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BACK IN DECEMBER WHEN THEY 'FIXED' MY VEHICLE THEY ACTUALLY JUST LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE, BUT TOLD ME THEY REPLACED/FIXED THE PART. SO THE PART WAS NEVER FIXED OR RESOLVED. NOT TO MENTION I HAVE ONLY HAVE THIS CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017 AND HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED 3 TIMES AND NOW AM FEELING THE SIGNS OF IT FAILING AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE AND FORD HAS LIED TO ME AND NOT INFORMED ME OF THE DANGERS OF THE VEHICLE I'M PAYING THEM FOR.

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANK FILLING STARTING AT THE END OF 2018. I ALSO STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY PRIOR TO THIS. I INFORMED THE DEALER OF THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF THE RECALL WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT (SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S32 /NHTSA RECALL 18V-735). THE DEALER COMPLETED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE GAS TANK STILL EXHIBITED ISSUES FILLING (WHICH ONLY EMERGED AROUND THE STALLING ' THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL). THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED, I RECEIVED A P1450 ERROR CODE RELATED TO AN EVAP CANNISTER ERROR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE REPAIR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALER (WHO HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL) STATED THAT FORD WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT TO THIS FOR THIS REPAIR. FORD, ON THEIR WEBSITE STATES, 'DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, CARBON CANISTER, FUEL TANK AND FUEL DELIVERY MODULE, AS NECESSARY. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THESE SERVICES.' FURTHER EFFORTS TO SPEAK TO FORD DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH BILLING THAT FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS. AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EVAP CANNISTER AT MY OWN EXPENSE ($331.39). THE P1450 CODE CAME BACK ON AFTER THIS REPAIR. THEREFORE THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ANY FURTHER RECALL RELATED REPAIRS WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE REIMBURSEMENT. THE DEALER EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE SITUATION.

FORD IS REFUSING TO PERFORM RECALL 18V-735. THE CAR STALLS, RUNS OUT OF GAS, HAS ERRONEOUS MILEAGE AND DTE READINGS. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS "OBLIGATED" TO PERFORM THE RECALL SERVICE WHEN I HAD IT IN FOR A DIFFERENT SAFETY RECALL FOR FAULTY DOOR LATCH. THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE GAS TANK. I HAD TO TELL THEM. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE PCM WHICH DID NOTHING. THE RECALL ON THIS CAR WAS CLOSED. I CALLED FORD. THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS STILL OPEN AND TAKE IT TO WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW. THAT DEALER SAYS THE RECALL IS CLOSED ON THAT CAR. THE CAR STALLS, RAN OUT OF GAS YESTERDAY WITH MY WIFE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR. CALLED FORD AGAIN. THEY SAY THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED AND THE CAR IS FINE. LOOK AT THE PHOTO. DOES THAT LOOK LIKE IT IS FINE? 39.8 MPG? NOT A CHANCE. THE CAR LURCHES, STALLS AND RUNS OUT OF GAS BETWEEN 120 AND 60 MILES LEFT ON THE DTE GAUGE. WHEN YOU FILL UP YOU CAN TELL THEIR IS 3 GALLON AT LEAST IN THE TANK. THE GAS TANK IS COLLAPSED. THE SENDING UNIT / FUEL GAUGE IS CRUSHED. YET FORD SAYS THE CAR IS FINE. IT'S FIXED.

THEIR ADVICE IS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK FILLED ABOVE HALF BUT I HAVE STALLED AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES AFTER FILLING UP. I HAD THEM INSPECT MY CAR AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I ASKED ABOUT THE STALLING AND THEY SAID WAIT FOR THE SOFTWARE. I GUESS THEY EXPECT THAT I WALK TO WORK UNTIL THEY FIX THE ISSUE. I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THEY RECOMMEND I WAIT FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSURE IF THE PART WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE SOFTWARE. I ALREADY HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR A FAMILY EMERGENCY AND DONT WANT TO GET STRANDED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK BECAUSE I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A FAULTY CAR WITH NO FIX.

CAR HAD 53,166 MILES, & NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. DARCARS DID A TUNE-UP WHICH DID NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE GAS MILEAGE. (2) I SCHEDULED SERVICE FOR 9/18/18. DARCARS FOUND PROBLEM: SEIZED FUEL CANISTER THAT DAMAGED THE FUEL PUMP AND CAUSED FUEL TANK TO IMPLODE. ALL PARTS WERE REPLACED. (3) AFTER REPAIRS, GAS MILEAGE WAS BETTER BUT NOT BACK TO NORMAL. USED TO GET > 30 ML/GAL, & WHEN I FILLED UP, DISPLAY ALWAYS SAID >400 ML TO EMPTY. NOW I GET 27-28 ML/GAL, AND AFTER FILL-UP DISPLAY SAYS ~330 ML TO EMPTY. (4) I RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL 18V-735 IN 12/18. IT INDICATED THERE WAS NO FIX YET. (5) SCHEDULED AN OIL CHANGE FOR 1/30/19 AND ASKED DARCARS FOR STATUS OF RECALL. DARCARS SAID THERE WAS A FIX: PARTS REPLACEMENT & REPROGRAMMING. DARCARS DETERMINED THAT PARTS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED WERE OK, SO ONLY REPROGRAMMING WAS DONE. (6) REAL PROBLEMS BEGAN 3/1/19. CAR SUDDENLY DROVE EXTREMELY POORLY WHILE ON HIGHWAY. IT WOULD HESITATE, & WHEN I GAVE IT A LITTLE MORE GAS, IT LURCHED & DROVE ERRATICALLY. IT THEN STALLED OUT COMPLETELY.

MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER 18S32 FOR A POTENTIAL STUCK EVAP PURGE VALVE CAUSING EXCESSIVE VACUUM IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. AS MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FAILED PART AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL SERVICE, ONLY A PCM UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE, THE PURGE VALVE FAILED AND CAUSED RANDOM STALLS OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. FORD CLAIMS THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND I, THE CONSUMER, AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, EVEN WITH THE ORIGINAL PART, SUBJECT TO THE RECALL 18S32, WAS THE FAULT FOR THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE RE-OPENED ON ALL THE VEHICLES THAT DID NOT HAVE THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED AND THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO PREVENT FUTURE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

MULTIPLY SAFETY RECALLS AND I TOOK TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, BUT DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO DO OR TO FIX MY CAR. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. CODE READER HAS 2 CODES 1450 AND 144A. NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, BUT DEALERSHIP FILED A FALSE REPORT STATING THE RECALLS WERE ALREADY DONE. IT IS NOT THE CASE. THE ONLY RECALL THAT WAS DONE WAS FOR THE DOOR LATCHES. THE PURSE VALVE AND FUEL SENSORS STILL NEED TO BE FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHUTTERING, FOLLOWED BY ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS, ONCE DECELERATING AT A RED LIGHT, ONCE ACCELERATING WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, SHE HAS NOT YET BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS SERVICED AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN 12/2018.

IT JERKS, ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO, AND MY FUEL READING IS ALMOST ALWAYS WRONG. I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR. WHEN I CALL MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY TELL ME THERE'S IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE YET AND TO JUST KEEP IT AT UNDER HALF A TANK OF GAS. WHICH IS STUPID SINCE I CAN'T GET AN ACCURATE FUEL READING! I CAN FILL IT COMPLETELY FULL, DRIVE ONE MILE, THEN SUDDENLY BE ON 3/4 TANK. THAT'S IS RIDICULOUS.

IT WAS FRIGHTENING BECAUSE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND WITH NO WARNING, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO "TURTLES PACE" AND I TRIED TO EXCELERATE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY GET IN LANE TO GET CAR OFF THE FREEWAY. IT STALLED OUT. WE HAD TO WAIT FOR HOURS IN THE DARK UNTIL MY SON CAME TO PICK US UP. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CAR REPAIR AND HE TOLD ME HE COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE OF RECALL. I HAD TO PAY THE CAR REPAIR FOR THE PART HE ORDERED THAT HE WAS NOT ABLE TO USE.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. FORD HAS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE RECALL ON THE PCV VALVE. THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY GAVE ME WAS TO KEEP THE FUEL TANK ABOVE HALF FULL ("UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SERVICED FOR THIS CONCERN CUSTOMERS ARE ADVISED TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST 1/2 TANK OF FUEL") , HOWEVER WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED FOR THE SECOND TIME I HAD OVER 3/4 OF A TANK. IVE CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND ALSO TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WOULD NOT OFFER A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL DEEMED SAFE TO DRIVE ("AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RESTART, CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.")... ALTHOUGH IN THE RECALL LETTER RECEIVED SAYS "MAY INCREASE RISK OF CRASH". ALSO WITH THIS RECALL THEY SAY "CAUSING THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK TO DEFORM, RESULTING IN AN INACCURATE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE INDICATION" HOW AM I TO KEEP MORE THAN A HALF A TANK IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THE CAR IS A 2014 AND HAS 54000MILES..

I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR A CONTROL MODULE THAT WOULD CAUSE MY CAR TO STALL WITHOUT NOTICE. WHEN MY CAR STALLED IT MADE A LOUD KNOCK AND MY CLUTCH BRAKE BROKE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE BREAKING OF MY CLUTCH BRAKE COULD NOT BE COVERED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT SECTION OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY QUESTION IS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH THEN WOULDN'T IT AFFECT MY CLUTCH BRAKE AND CAUSE IT TO BE UNDER TOO MUCH STRESS? I NOW HAVE TO PAY 1500$ TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT THE RECALL IS FREE OF CHARGE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE 2014 FORD FOCUS SE BEGAN TO SPUTTER. CONTINUES TO DO SO UNTIL I GOT IN THE STREET ON MY HOME AND BEGAN GOING UNDER 10 MPH. ONCE I ENTERED MY HOME TO PUT SOME ITEMS DOWN BEFORE RETURNING BACK OUT, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR. I NOTICED UPON ENTRY OF MY VEHICLE THAT MY RADIO WAS ON WITHOUT MY KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION, ALSO MY DRIVER DOOR WAS STILL OPEN. I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, IT DIDN'T TICK NOR TURN. WHAT DID HAPPEN THOUGH WAS MY ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM BEGAN TO CUT ON AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD STARTED AND TURNED. RADIO ON, DASHBOARD LIGHTS PRESENT AND THEN CUT OFF, ALERT FOR MY LOW TIRE, TRIP TIMER BEGAN RUNNING. THEN AN ERROR CODE REGARDING SOMETHING IN THE LINES OF FUEL. WASN'T QUICK ENOUGH TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE ERROR MESSAGE. WHEN I REMOVED MY KEY AND CALLED MY SISTER TO INFORM HER THAT I MAY NEED A RIDE FOR MYSELF AND MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, THE DASHBOARD NEEDLES JUMPED VIGOROUSLY. WHILE SITTING. IN THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OPENED UP AND MY TRIP TIMER BEGAN RUNNING AND THE RADIO. AGAIN WITHOUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION, THEY WERE IN MY LAP. THE ENTIRE NIGHT WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PERIODICALLY MY CAR WOULD CUT IN AND OFF, AND ENGAGE WITHOUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION NOR PRESENT NEAR HE CAR. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CONSTANT RUNNING OF THE VEHICLE BY IT SELF RAN THE BATTERY DEAD AS WELL. ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND CHECK SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS VERY RUDE AND CONTINUOUSLY INTERRUPTED ME. WHEN QUESTIONING REGARDING AND OPEN RECALL, 18S32, AND MENTIONING THAT NOT ONLY DID I CALL THE NTHSA NUMBER BUT I ALSO READ THE RECALL REGARDING MY VEHICLE SERVICEMAN BECAME EVEN MORE RUDE AND EVEN DISCONNECTED THE CALL.

1.) WHILE IN DRIVING MOTION MY CAR ACTS LIKE IT STALLS OR GETS STUCK IN A GEAR OR HAS A PROBLEM SHIFTING. 2.) WHILE IN REVERSE MOTION MY CAR SOMETIMES WANTS TO ACT LIKE IT CAN'T GO IN REVERSE, LIKE I CAN'T BACK UP OR DRIVE. I RESTART THE CAR SOMETIMES & THEN IT'S FINE.

TAKATA RECALL THERE NO SOUND FOR THE RADIO THE DASH BOARD FOR THE RADIO IS BLANK BEFORE IT WENT BLANK IT WAS MAKING A LOT OF NOISY

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WILL MAKE A SORT OF STUTTERING, OR HAVE A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. SOMETIMES I NOTICE THE RPMS INCREASING WITHOUT REASON, ALMOST AS IF IT SKIPS SHIFTING MAYBE OR HAS A DELAYED SHIFT? I HAVE NOT TRIED IN "SPORT" MODE TO SEE IF MANUALLY SHIFTING SOLVES THE PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY ANY OTHER COMMON THINGS, SUCH AS A CERTAIN FUEL LEVEL, INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE, OR RATE OF INTENDED ACCELERATION, THOUGH I WOULD NOT RULE OUT ANYTHING. I HAVE NOTICED THIS HAPPENING BOTH IN TOWN DRIVING AND HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION OR STUTTERING. THERE IS ALSO A DISTINCT SHUDDER THAT HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY. I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS AN ISSUE WITH FUEL (FLOODING MAYBE? OR A DELAY IN FUEL INJECTION?) OR AN ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRAIN (ANY ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION WITH SHIFTING?) OR MAYBE AN ISSUE IN SPEED CONTROL (A MISSED CONNECTION BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OR THROTTLE CONTROL CABLES AND THE NEXT STEP IN THE CHAIN?). I JUST KNOW THAT SOMETIMES I NEED TO ACCELERATE TO GET IN A SPOT IN A LINE OF TRAFFIC AND WHEN THE CAR DOESN'T 'GO' WHEN I NEED IT TO AND IT SHUDDERS OR HAS A STUTTER OR DELAY, IT CAUSES THE CAR I WAS GETTING IN FRONT OF TO HAVE TO BRAKE AND IF THEY DON'T, THEN MY CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT ARE PUT AT RISK. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, NOT JUST THE DATE INDICATED.

PULLED OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE STARTED SHUTTERING AND LURCHING FORWARD AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY BUT UPON FURTHER INSPECTION SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FUEL LINE. WHEN I POUR GASOLINE IN, IT COMES RIGHT OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR.

THE CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS INDICATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND LEFT US STUCK ON SIDE OF THE ROAD. SINCE THE INCIDENT THE CAR HAS STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES. I ALSO TOOK TO FORD DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED MAKING A COMPLAINT.

MY CAR WOULD STALL WHEN I WAS TURNING OR DRIVING, BUT AT FIRST I COULD TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WOULD RUN JUST FINE. THEN MY CAR STARTED SHOWING ME THAT I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS WHEN I DIDN'T. I FOUND OUT THAT THE ISSUE IS THE GAS TANK, A $450 FIX. THESE PLASTIC GAS TANKS ARE COLLAPSING ON ITSELF, MY FRIEND HAD A 2012 FOCUS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS TANK WAS SHRINKING AND THAT IT WOULD KEEP SHRINKING UNTIL THE GAS TANK WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!

THIS VEHICLE BOGS DOWN, HAS LOW POWER, AND SLOW ACCELERATION. DOES NOT SHOW ANY FAULT CODES OR SERVICE LIGHTS. I TOOK THIS FORD FOCUS TO TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS; ONE OF THEM BEING A FORD DEALER. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. NO PART FAILURES. NO CODES TO TROUBLESHOOT. THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN NOT EXPLAIN THE REASONING FOR THIS BY THE CAR SEEMS FINE ALTHOUGH IT HAS THIS ISSUE. IT MAKES LEAVING FROM A STOP VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR IS REALLY SLOW TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS WHERE OTHER DRIVERS ARENT EXPECTING MY SLOW ACCELERATION. THIS IS COMMON IN THE VEHICLES WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. BUT MY FOCUS HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. SO FORD DEALERS AND SERVICE SUPPORT ONLINE ARE AT A MISS FOR WHAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE AS THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO ISSUES IN THE HEALTH REPORT. AFTER TALKING TO FORD SERVICE ONLINE THEY HAVE ASKED FOR ME TO GO TO THE NHTSA AND PLACE AN OFFICIAL REPORT SO THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE INVESTIGATED AS IT IS NOT THE FIRST. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SPARK PLUGS, COILS REPLACED AND STILL NO DIFFERENCE. THIS IS A DANGER FOR ANYONE DRIVING OR NEAR THIS VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING.

TRANSMISSION: WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION IN SOME CASES WILL SHIFT VERY RAPIDLY GIVING THE VEHICLE NO ACCELERATION POWER. THE VEHICLE FEELS SLUGGISH AND VIBRATES. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING OVER SPEED HUMPS OR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN ALMOST EVERY INSTANCE THE VEHICLE STARTS TO VIBRATE AFTER GOING OVER THE SPEED HUMP OR THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. FUEL PUMP: WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR LOST ALL POWER WHILE DRIVING IN LAS CRUCES, NEW MEXICO. THE CAR DID NOT STALL COMPLETELY HOWEVER WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD JUST NOW INCREASE IN RPM'S. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A MECHANICS SHOP AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I DRIVE THE CAR FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND THIS TIME THE CAR AGAIN STARTED TO SPUTTER. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE FUEL PUMP.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS WAS SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATION EMISSION CONTROL (EVAP) SYSTEM. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT, RAW FUEL CAN BE SUCKED THROUGH THE EVAP CANISTER THROUGH THE PURGE VALVE DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE, CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OR HESITATE WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS. MY CAR IS A 2014 AND HAS APPROX. 27K MILES ON IT. I NOW WILL HAVE TO PAY $1960 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE EVAP PURGE VALVE, THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL PUMP, AND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, WHICH HAVE ALL BEEN DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE VALVE FAILURE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND THE NHTSA GOVERNMENT WEBSITE, INCLUDING COMPLAINTS THAT PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HARMED, AS THEY LOST CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY OR MAJOR ROAD. THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN 2017 (JON RIVERA, ET. AL., V. FORD MOTOR COMPANY) BUT FORD WON AND THE DEFECT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANUFACTURING A FAULTY PART AND PUTTING CONSUMERS IN DANGER THAT THEY MAY NOT REALIZE. FORD SHOULD ABSORB THE COSTS THAT ARE RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF DEFECTIVE PARTS IN RELATIVELY NEW CARS.

HE STATED HE HAD HAD SEVERAL OF THESE CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY CAR ONLY HAD 48,000 MILES ON IT. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL JUST STOP IF I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN OR EVEN STOP FOR A RED LIGHT OR OTHER TRAFFIC. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA AND THE ROADS ARE NARROW WITH FEW PLACES TO PULL OFF.

WHEN TRYING TO RESUME SPEED THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND COASTED THROUGH A LANE OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR DIED. UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP MATTHEW CURRY IN NOKOMIS. AFTER THREE DAYS OF SITTING FORD DECIDED TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND QUICKLY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS A PURGE VALVE STICKING CAUSING A VACUUM IN THE GAS TANK WHICH CAUSED THE TANK TO COLLAPSE AND DAMAGE THE FUEL PUMP. IT WAS EASY TO RECOGNIZE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME SITUATION MANY TIMES ON THE FOCUS MODEL. A DOCUMENTED RECALLL HAS OCCURRED IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND OVER THIS VERY SAME ISSUE FORD A US MANUFACTURED CAR YET NO RECALL IN THE US. I CAN FIND MORE THAN 100 REPORTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAME SITUATION IN THE US BUT FORD WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE SPOKE TO CORPORATE WHERE THEY ISSUED A CASE/CLAIM # 14636968. THEY THEN ADVISE ME TO CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO SAYS HE SENT EVERYTHING TO CORPORATE THEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET AND HONDA THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GAS TANKS COLLAPSING. FORD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY SYSTEM. I AM GRATEFUL WE ARE SAFE THIS MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING 70 ON A BUSY FLORIDA INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH DIFFERENTLY.. RIDICULOUS FLAWED PRODUCT

GAS GAUGE SHOWING 50 MILES REMAIN IN THE GAS TANK AND CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES TWICE ON INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES DURING THE WARRANTY AND 6 TIMES SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE STALLED FOURS TIMES AND THREE OTHER TIMES IT ALMOST STALLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONLY ONCE THEY SAID THEY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED SOME SMALL PART BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. ONE OF THE TIMES IT STALLED I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD. IT SAID: ENGINE FAILURE SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. I SHOWED THAT PHOTO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANIC AT FORD. BOTH OF THEM SAID THE SAME THING: "I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE". MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE CAR YOU BOUGHT FROM THEM.ALSO, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN MOST OF THE TIME ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. I HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR WILL OPEN. FOR REPLACED SOME PART ON THE DOORS BECAUSE OF A RECALL BUT THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. IT STILL DOES IT. THIS POSTING ASKS YOU TO SPECIFY THE DATE OF OCCURRENCE. IT HAS HAPPENED SO REGULARLY NOW THERE ARE TOO MANY DATES TO LIST. I LSTED MAY OF 2014 WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. FROM THEN ON IT HAS HAD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR A 2014 FORD FOCUS. I DECIDED TO GO WITH A NEW CAR TO HAVE LESS PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN. BOY WAS I WRONG. AFTER ONLY 25000 MILES MY CAR BEGAN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I THEN BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. SO I HAD THAT REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. MY CAR NOW HAS 45000 MILES ON IT AND IT BEGAN CAUSING ME PROBLEMS AGAIN, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. AFTER A DAY OF WAITING I RECEIVED A CALL ENTAILING ALL THAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. THIS TIME IT AS MUCH WORSE, MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH I WAS TOLD THIS WAS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. NOW THE NEXT PART I WAS TOLD IS THE REASON I AM HERE WRITING THIS COMPLIANT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY FUEL TANK HAD COLLAPSED, AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ME UPWARDS OF $2100 TO BE FIXED. SO I THEN ASKED THE QUESTION, WHAT CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN? I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT IT. NOW KEEP IN MIND I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES AND DO ALL THE NORMAL MAINTENANCE TO KEEP ANY CAR RUNNING SMOOTHLY. I BEGAN TO RESEARCH COLLAPSED FUEL TANKS IN 2014 FORD FOCUSES, AND I FOUND THAT THIS NOT A RARE OCCURRENCE AND IN FACT IT HAS HAPPENED TO QUITE A FEW PEOPLE. I HOPE THIS IS FOUND AND READ BY CORPORATE FORD, SO A RECALL CAN BE INITIATED AND I CAN BE COMPENSATED.

WHILE FILLING UP MY GAS TANK IF BELOW HALF WAY MY CAR WILL NOT START. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN LISTED ONLINE MANY TIMES AND IT SEEMS LIKE FORD REFUSES TO RECALL ALL 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE GAS GAUGE DISPLAYS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FUEL AND I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO STOP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I HAVE A ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN LISTED ONLINE BY MAY PEOPLE THAT THIS CAR IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. MINE ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST STARTED. I NEED MY CAR FIX AND I AM TIRED OF PAYING FOR ITEMS YOU GUY AND FORD ARE AWARE OF. I NEED CONTACT FROM A MANAGER OR A CORPORATE WORKING FROM FORD. I AM ALSO FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB. I HAVE SMALL KIDS AND CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR WITH THEM OUT OF FEAR SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN. THERE ARE REPORTED CRASHES DUE TO THIS AND YOU GUYS ARE ALLOWING FORD TO PUT PEOPLE LIVES IN DANGER. I WAS STUCK AT THE GAS STATION FOR 45 MINS AFTER GETTING GAS DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS (24,000 MILES) STALLED IN TRAFFIC. IT HAD NO DASH LIGHTS BUT THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "ENGINE FAILURE". AFTER TOWING TO THE FORD DEALER, THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THE FUEL VACUUM PURGE VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD CAUSED A DEFORMATION OF THE FUEL TANK. HE ALSO SAID THAT HIS DEALERSHIP WAS SEEING SEVERAL OF THESE DEFECTS EACH WEEK. HE MENTIONED THAT A NOTICE HAD BEEN ISSUED TO DEALERS BY FORD ABOUT THE DEFECT, BUT THAT FORD HAD NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES FOR THE DEFECT AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNERS. THE ESTIMATED COST WAS $1800. OF COURSE, THIS IS AN ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION DEFECT CAUSED BY FORD AND REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED IMMEDIATELY.

CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SHOP AND SHOP ADVISED THE FUEL TANK GUAGE WAS NOT OPERATING AND REGISTERING GAS. NOW I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE SHOP AS IT APPEARS IT MAY INVOLVE FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND VAPOR MANAGEMENT. I ONLY KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE SEARCHING ON LINE I SEE MANY SIMIILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE JERKING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, AND PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING OUT. IT SAYS FORD IS NOT ACKNOWLEDING THIS AS A PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS AND FIX THIS ALTHOUGH IT APPEARS BASED ON REVIEWS EVEN AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

AT TIMES THE CAR WON'T START, THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTS. CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AS IF IT IS OUT OF GAS. CUTS OFF ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED OR LOW SPEED. FIRST THE BATTER AND OIL LIGHT APPEARS IN RED ON DASH WHEN PUSHING THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS AND IT CUTS OFF. IT STALLS MORE AND MORE, THE FUEL GAGE SOMES GOES PAST FULL OR FLUCTUATES WHEN DRIVING. AFTER PUTTING GAS IN CAR IT STALLS MORE. ALSO, AS I PULL OFF AFTER STOPPED OR INITIALLY, THE CAR HESITATES AND SKIPS AND THE TIRES SKIP WHEN UNTIL IT GETS PAST 15 -20 MILES THEN THE TRANSMISSION IS STEADY WHEN IT'S NOT SALLING.. WHEN IT RAINS THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND ROOF LEAKS WATER CONSTANTLY WHEN I AM DRIVING IN WATER THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR GETS WET. WHEN IT RAINS AND THE CAR IS PARKED WATER LEAKS AND THE PASSENGER ROOF IS WET FROM FRONT TO BACK AS WELL AS ABOUT 2 INCHES OF WATER ON THE PASSENGER FRONT AND BACK ON THE FLOOR.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 30 MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST COMPLETE POWER. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT FORTUNATELY THE ALERT DRIVERS AROUND ME WERE ABLE TO BRAKE IN TIME. A FRIENDLY SAMARITAN HELPED TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY I WAS PHYSICALLY OKAY, BUT EMOTIONALLY NOT SO MUCH. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 FORD FOCUS OFF OF THE LOT AND HAVE SINCE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I'M STILL PAYING ON THE VEHICLE TODAY AND NOW IT IS NOT IN USE UNLESS I CAN COME UP WITH 2,500.00 TO REPAIR THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT ONLY 67,000 MILES. THERE IS AN ISSUED RECALL ON SIMILAR FORD VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 2013-2015 WHICH IS THE SAME TIME FRAME IN WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO COME TO A RESOLUTION THROUGH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY WON'T EVEN OFFER INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF FUEL SYSTEM USED ON THE VEHICLES WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE LIABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. I'M OUT OF A VEHICLE AT 67,000 MILES AND HAVE NO CONSUMER PROTECTION. IT'S SCARY TO READ ABOUT THE 100'S OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AT SIMILAR MILEAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY. IN ADDITION, SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN JERKY AND I CAN'T EVEN ACCELERATE ONTO A HIGHWAY. FORD HAD VEHEMENTLY DENIED THAT IT WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE MANUFACTURER TRANSMISSION AND YET SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION, BUT NOW TELL ME I'M TOO FAR PAST MY WARRANTY(WHICH WAS ONLY 7,000 MILES AGO) I'M HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR THIS SORT OF SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY KNOWING IT IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH, SAME FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS UNDER RECALL ON FORD VEHICLES MANUFACTURED THROUGH 2013-2015. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I NEARLY LOST MY LIFE DRIVING A 3 YEAR OLD CAR THAT I'M STILL PAYING ON. THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAD JUST SCHEDULED SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE EARLIER THAT MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT READING THE FUEL LEVEL CORRECTLY AND STALLING WHEN I FILLED THE TANK UP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 2,500.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURER PART.

TOOK CAR TO FORD THERE IS A TSB 15-0034 FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FUEL TANK WAS DISTORTED/DEFORMED CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO MALFUNCTION OVERFLOWING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IS A FIRE HAZARD WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARDS.

TRANSMISSION: THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STUTTERING AND THEN UNEXPECTEDLY JUMPING FORWARD WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR SINCE ABOUT 1,500 MILES. IT'S BEEN GETTING CONTINUOUSLY WORSE SINCE. THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT TRULY ENDANGERED MY SAFETY WAS WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A 3-WAY STOP, IT ALMOST STALLED IN FRONT OF INCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN SUDDENLY PROPELLED FORWARD INTO A GAS STATION CURB & BLEW OUT MY TIRE. THE SECOND INCIDENT, WHICH IS WHY I'M FILING THIS REPORT, WAS WITH MY 2 DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR, LEAVING A STOP LIGHT AT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. IT WAS RAINING, AND I WAS TRYING TO GET UP TO THE 55MPH SPEED LIMIT BUT THE CAR KEPT CHUGGING AND STUTTERING. OTHER VEHICLES WERE GOING AROUND ME AS MY SPEED SLOWLY CLIMBED, & AT ALMOST 50 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND, DESPITE TAPPING MY BRAKES, CONTINUED TO DO SO UNTIL IT HIT 65 MPH. I WAS SURROUNDED BY OTHER VEHICLES, AND PRESSED THE BRAKE HARDER TO AVOID HITTING THE LINE OF CARS IN FRONT OF ME, TO THE LEFT OF ME, OR HAVING TO SWERVE INTO THE DITCH ON MY RIGHT AT THIS HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BECAUSE TAPPING THE BRAKES CAUTIOUSLY WAS HAVING EFFECT ON THE CARS ACCELERATION. WHEN IT STOPPED QUICKLY ACCELERATING, IT CONTINUED TO STUTTER, BUT SEEMED TO LEVEL OFF AT MY CHOSEN SPEED. SINCE THEN, ITS CONTINUED TO STUTTER AND CHUG AND JUMP FORWARD ALMOST EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE, WHETHER FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR TO GO FASTER THAN MY CURRENT SPEED. IT'S TERRIFYING.

Mileage: 20,000

WHILE ACCELERATING, VEHICLE FREQUENTLY STALLS AND/OR HESITATES TO CONTINUE ACCELERATION CREATING A JERKING AFFECT UNTIL IT CAN ACTUALLY CATCH AGAIN OR PROVIDE FUEL TO ACCELERATE. THIS TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN PRESSING ON THE PEDAL BOTH WHEN STOPPED/START OR IF IN MOTION AND ACCELERATE TO GO ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON A DAILY BASIS.

I PURCHASED THIS FOCUS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013. LITTLE DID I REALIZE THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE WORST MISTAKES I MADE IN MY LIFE THUS FAR. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE CAR 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING. I DON'T DRIVE ERRATIC OR AGGRESSIVE I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 12 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT IT, TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE MADE FRIENDS WITH SOME OF THE GUYS THERE. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND THE MODULE HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED AND EVERYTHING THAT FORD CLAIMS WILL "FIX" THE ISSUE. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED, THE MOST RECENT TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO FIX IT I COULDN'T ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE GEARS WOULDN'T GRAB AFTER SECOND, THEN THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, SO I HAD TO NURSE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT AND I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED FORD, AND THE BAD THING IS, IS THAT THEY KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL LOSE MONEY. I FINALLY SPOKE TO A REP AT FORD THAT DIRECTED ME TOWARDS THE BBB BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT THAT I WAS IN THE MILITARY, SAYING THAT THE MILITARY MEMBERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THINGS LIKE THIS BECAUSE WE DO SO MUCH FOR THE COUNTRY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BBB AND THEY FINALLY SAID THAT THEY WILL HAVE A RESOLUTION WITHIN 14 DAYS FROM YESTERDAY. AND WHAT IS REALLY ALARMING IS THAT THE ONLY REASON I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE BBB OPTION IS BECAUSE OF MY MILITARY SERVICE. IT IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE I KNOW THIS ISSUE IS NATIONWIDE AND FORD WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT IS SAD TO SAY LIKE WITH THE ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD WITH THEIR CARS IS THAT SOMEONE HAS TO DIE AND SUE FORD BEFORE THIS ISSUE WILL GET RESOLVED, UNLESS YOU WANT TO TAKE DIRECT ACTION AGAINST FORD.

THE CAR WAS DRIVING ROUGH AND STALLED WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT IN A LEFT TURN LANE ON A 6-LANE STATE HIGHWAY. IT WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

2014 FORD FOCUS WITH 45K MILES, COMPLETELY STOCK. FUEL TANK COLLAPSED DUE TO EVAP SOLENOID FAILURE. THIS CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ INACCURATELY AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WITH NO WARNINGS. NO CHECK GAUGES LIGHT, NO SEL LIGHT, NO CODES, NOTHING BUT COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE FAILURE. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THIS KNOWN FAILURE UNDER WARRANTY CLAIMING IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (NOT SURE HOW EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT AND FUEL ISN'T POWERTRAIN COMPONENTS.......). FORD WANTED $900 TO FIX JUST THE FUEL TANK, PLUS ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE EVAP CANISTER, EVAP SOLENOID, AND FUEL SENDING UNIT. I WILL HAVE TO FIX THIS MY SELF EVEN THOUGH I STILL HAVE 15K MILES LEFT UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THIS IS KNOWN FAILURE FROM FORD (THEY HAVE TSB'S FOR THEIR TECHS TO FOLLOW FOR THIS VERY SPECIFIC REASON!!!!!!).

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED STALLING GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, RPM'S HIGH WITHOUT VEHICLE GOING FORWARD. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER ON 05/10/16 AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2016 FOR MY DAUGHTER AND WAS NEVER TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND I TOLD THEM I HAD SAFETY CONCERNS. THE DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED IT AND SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR A BIT. THE FIX DID NOT WORK. WE WENT THERE TODAY. 06/15/16 AND WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 06/22/16 FOR THEM TO TEAR DOWN THE TRANSMISSION AND TO CLEAN IT UP TO KEEP IT RUNNING. WE WERE TOLD IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE PART IN THAT WAS NEEDED. I COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGER THIS TIME. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE STALLING AND THEN PICKING BACK UP WITH THE RPM'S AT A HIGH RATE.

FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE CAR SHUDDERING AND JERKING. FORD GARAGE, REPAIR SOME TRANSMISSION SEALS, PROGRAMMING,REPLACED FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND ENGINE WIRE HARNESS REPAIR. SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE ABILITY TO MOVE WHEN ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE RPM'S WOULD REV AND VEHICLE HAD LITTLE POWER TO MOVE. FORD GARAGE REPLACED CLUTCH AND DID PROGRAMMING. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THAT REPAIR, OUR CARE SUFFERED THE SAME SYMPTOMS IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN WHAT WE WILL GET BACK.

I UNDERSTAND THAT IN 2013 THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT ALSO REFUSED TO DO NATIONAL RECAL. WE WAITED OVER 30 DAYS FOR THE PART TO HAVE IT CRAP OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THIS PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WAS OOS. TO ONLY HAVE THE PART REPLACED 3 TIME.S

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IT HAS A 'HARD START' AND IDLES EXTREMELY ROUGH FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 18200 MILES. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE 2014. I'VE HAD ENOUGH CARS TO KNOW THAT THIS IS INDEED NOT "NORMAL". IT FEELS LIKE THE IDLE IS NOT SET RIGHT AND IT VIBRATES ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN FEEL IT WHILE IN PARK AND IDLING. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A MECHANIC THAT THIS IS 'NORMAL' FOR THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE TO VIBRATE. ALSO THE CAR CONTINUOUSLY SHUDDERS, LURCHES AND LOSES POWER ON ACCELERATION AS A RESULT OF A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AT 9300 MILES. NOTE TO EVERYONE, UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE GARAGE FOR THE FUEL PUMP RECALL IN DEC 2015, THE CAR HAD TO BE PUT IN THE GARAGE AGAIN IN JAN 2016 FOR THE PURGE VALVE TO BE REPLACED, WHICH RESULTED IN MY TANK BECOMING DEFORMED (DEFORMED MEANS IT SHRINKS, BUT NO ONE BOTHERED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO ME). WITHIN A MONTH (AFTER 4 REPEATED TRIPS TO THE GARAGE FOR THE SAME ISSUES: DISTANCE TO EMPTY CALCULATIONS AND MILES PER GALLON WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE, NO GAS MILEAGE TO SPEAK OF BUT EACH TIME WAS TOLD THAT WHEN DIAGNOSTICS WERE PERFORMED MY CAR WAS GETTING 35 MPG). HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT GAS IN IT, I HAD A 12 GALLON TANK BEFORE PURGE VALVE WAS REPLACED IN JAN 2016, 9 GALLONS WAS ALL IT WOULD HOLD AND THE GAUGE SHOWED FULL. THE THE CAR USED 1/4 TANK OF GAS TO DRIVE 27 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS STILL SHUDDERING AT A STOP LIGHT & LURCHING WHEN ACCELERATING AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE TIRES ARE GRABBING FOR TRACTION. BUT IT IS WITHIN 'SPECS' ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICIANS. I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING REPLACED: 2ND FUEL TANK; 3RD FUEL PUMP; 2ND PURGE VALVE; AND 2ND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND THE CAR ISN'T EVEN 2 YRS OLD YET AND HAS UNDER 20,000 MILES. IT IS A ROAD HAZARD. I'VE HAD IT TO 3 DIFFERENT GARAGES AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. CONTACTED FORD (DONT BOTHER), I HAVE SINCE CONTACTED THE BBB.

I HAVE THE SAME "SHUDDERING" ISSUES AS MANY OF THESE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ISSUE GOES AWAY TEMPORARILY AND THEN COMES BACK. WORSE, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TWICE. I THOUGHT THE FIRST TIME WAS A FLUKE BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO GET GOING AGAIN, BUT AFTER THE SECOND TIME I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER. THEY STARTED THE CAR AND LET IT RUN FOR AN HOUR, THEN PLUGGED IN THE COMPUTER, AND CALLED ME AND SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. MEANWHILE I SEE SEVERAL RECALLS ONLINE RELATED TO ENGINE STALLING RELATED TO ELECTRICAL SIGNALS AND FUEL PUMP ISSUES. WHILE MY CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T HELP BUT BELIEVE THIS IS THE ISSUE. I DRIVE OVER 300 MILES EACH WEEKEND ON BUSY HIGHWAYS, AND NOW I HAVE A CAR PAYMENT ON A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE NO ONE CAN FIX IT AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE, A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! I WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN, AND I'M SELLING MY STOCK.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SO MANY TIMES BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.

MY CAR HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN DECEMBER 2013. IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE, SLIP WHEN SHIFTING OR WHEN DOWNSHIFTING TO COME TO A STOP, BOG DOWN WHEN TAKING OFF AND ALSO JERK WHEN SHIFTING AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE ISSUES AND THEY FIXED THE CLUTCH ONCE BUT EVEN SINCE THEN IT STILL HAS ISSUES SHIFTING. ALSO SINCE THEN I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP AS THERE WAS A RECALL ON IT FOR MY CAR WHICH THE DEALERSHIP WAS SURPRISED BY BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST OF THIS RECALL THEY HAD SEEN FOR THIS CAR. I'VE ALSO CALLED FORD HEADQUARTERS TWICE PERSONALLY TO SEE ABOUT A BUY BACK OR TRADE DEAL AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME AT THIS TIME. THIS CAR IS A BRAND NEW, JUNK, SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BUT FORD WILL DO NOTHING. I'M DISABLED SO IF IT CAUSES A CRASH I WILL DIE INSTANTLY AND THEN THEY WILL HAVE A BIG LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS FROM MY FAMILY. I'VE ALSO CONTACTED ATTORNEYS AND AM PART OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS CAR AS WELL AS SPEAKING TO A LEMON LAW ATTORNEY. ALL THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO IS STEP UP AND EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND MAKE IT RIGHT BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING.

I HAVE ESCAPED BEING HIT MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MY CAR DOING THIS. I HAVE A FEAR I AM GOING TO BE REAR ENDED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF MY CAR. THE CAR STALLS ON THE ROAD THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OUR CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A MONTH, SECOND TIME ON THE TRANSMISSION JERKING AND STALLING ON THE ROAD WHEN YOU WOULD BE STOPED AT A RED LIGHT THEN IN MOTION IT JERKED WHEN YOU INCREASED YOUR SPEED, VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND NO ONE IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. FORD CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL. . NOT JAPORDIZING MY FAMILY LIFE FOR A CAR THAT STALLS ON THE ROAD.

PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FOCUS IN AUGUST 2015, FOR OUR DAUGHTER WHO IS CURRENTLY AWAY TO COLLEGE. SHE STATES THAT THE CAR "SHUDDERS" ALL THE TIME WHEN BEING DRIVEN. AS A PARENT THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN, I INVESTIGATED THE FORD FOCUS AND IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG AT ALL TO DETERMINE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL THOUSAND OTHERS IN THE SAME CONDITION, AS STATED EARLIER OUR DAUGHTER IS AWAY AT COLLEGE SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO TAKE CARE OF THIS SITUATION NOW . THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REPORTS STATE THE CAR LOSES EXCELLERATION AND WILL STALL WHEN BEING DRIVEN. PLEASE PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS !!!!!!!!! FROM WHAT I'M READING FORD IS REFUSING TO TAKE ACTION, ALSO REPORTED THIS TO SIMMONS/ROCWELL WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY STATED THAT OTHER FORD FOCUS CARS THAT WERE PURCHASED HAD TESTS RAN AND "NO ISSUES" WE'RE DETERMINED YET THEY ALL REPORTED TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS!!!! I NEED HELP AS TO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE !!

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN JUNE 2015. I DRIVE 100 TO 150 MILES A DAY FOR WORK. THE DEALERSHIP IS INSTRUCTED NOT TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP UNLESS THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT LEAST THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE FOR UNRELATED PROBLEMS. SAFETY IS SO IMPORTANT THAT I RECEIVED A REMINDER NOTICE IN NOVEMBER. YET, THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP UNTIL THEY CAN PROVE A PROBLEM EXISTS. I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SUPPORT (SEE DOCUMENTS ATTACHED) ONLY TO RECEIVE THE SAME RESPONSE. FORD SAYS THERE ARE LIMITED SUPPLIES OF PARTS AVAILABLE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT IS TO PREVENT AN INJURY. FORDS NOTICE IS CLEAR THAT A CAR MAY STALL OR STUTTER WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO A CRASH. TO PREVENT A CRASH, INJURY OR DEATH FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD REPLACE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS BEFORE THEY FAIL. YOUR ATTENTION AND INTERVENTION MAY SAVE LIVES. SINCERELY, *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A REPUTABLE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AS A USED VEHICLE BUT WITH ONLY 20K MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO LET ME TEST DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY CITING DEALERSHIP RULES. EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK FINE. ONE WEEK AFTER GETTING CAR HOME IT BEGAN SHUDDERING AND FAILING TO ACCELERATE ONLY TO RAPIDLY SHIFT GEARS ONCE IT FIGURED OUT WHAT IT WANTED TO DO. WHEN TRYING TO ENTER HIGHWAY THE CAR WOULD RUN THROUGH 4 GEARS BEFORE HITTING MPH CAUSING HORRIBLE AND SLUGGISH PERFORMANCE. WHEN FINALLY GET UP TO 55 MPH OR MORE, THE CAR SHUTTERS SO BAD IT IS MAKING OTHER PARTS FALL APART AND COME LOOSE...LIKE THE STEERING AND A/C NOT WORKING PROPERLY...I HAVE TO GO 80 JUST TO GET IT TO REDUCE SLIGHTLY. I CALLED UP DEALER AND DEMANDED THEY REPAIR. DEALER RESET TRANSMISSION TO FACTORY DEFAULTS WHICH FIXED NOTHING. TOOK CAR IN 3 MORE TIMES WHEN FINALLY THEY ADMITTED IT WAS A CLUTCH ISSUE AND PUT ME ON A BACK ORDER LIST. I WAITING 3 MONTHS WHILE HAVING TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE BUT IT FINALLY WAS REPLACED. TO NO ONES SURPRISE THE CAR PERFORMS WORSE NOW THEN IT DID. TOOK BACK TO DEALER 2 MORE TIMES, TO WHICH I WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH HAS A 1000 MILE BREAK IN PERIOD. I ASKED THEN WHY DIDN'T ANYONE SAY THAT WHEN I PICKED IT UP. SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER WHO KEEPS TRYING TO TELL ME THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM...I ASKED WHY IS IT I HAVE THE PROBLEM 100% OF THE TIME I DRIVE IT BUT IT NEVER SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE IT.... I EVEN TRIED DEMONSTRATING BUT THEY LITERALLY JUST IGNORED ME AND SAID THEY DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING OR FEEL ANYTHING...I HAVE REACHED OUT TO CLASS ACTION LAWYERS FOR DETAILS ON HOW TO SUE AND GET CAR PAID FOR TAKEN BACK SO I CAN GET A SAFE CAR....OTHERWISE I HAVE TO DRIVE A KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD.

I TOOK MY CAR TO GET FIXED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THE 2014 FORD FOCUS, IT WAS FIXED (SO THEY SAID) BUT A MONTH LATER THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. IT JERKS WHILE ACCELERATING AND IT ALSO STALLS.

CAR JERKS AND SHAKES. ESPECIALLY WHEN TAKING OFF OR ON TURNING VEHICLE JERKS BADLY. I UNDERSTAND THAT IS WHEN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS. I HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. THIS CAUSES A HUGE DANGER TO ME BECAUSE IF I WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC I NEVER KNOW IF MY CAR WILL GO OR RESIST. SONS DAYS ARE SO BAD THAT I JUST GIVE UP DRIVING BECAUSE IT FEELS AS IF MY CAR WILL STALL. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT A CAR THAT YOU'VE BOUGHT NEW AND PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON TO RUN LIKE DAILY. DEALERSHIP, TODAY, SAYS IT'S FINE. INITIAL ISSUES DATE BACK TO AUGUST 2014.

STILL SHUDDERING, LURCHING ON TAKE OFF FROM A STOP, ALSO TIRES ARE MAKING A "TIRE SOUND" SECONDARY TO TRANSMISSION (MOST LIKELY DUE TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES)...

MY DAUGHTER'S FORD FOCUS SHUDDERS AND HESITATES WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC, BUT HAS SOME SORT OF INTERNAL CLUTCH OR SIMILAR DEVICE ACCORDING TO FORD. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WAS TAKEN INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON JUNE 10. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. THEY ARE TELLING US ALMOST 2 MONTHS LATER THAT IT IS STILL ON BACK ORDER WITH NO PROJECTED SHIP DATE. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE A CAR THAT HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION, AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER WHEN THEY ARE IN THIS VEHICLE. ATTEMPTS TO ESCALATE THIS TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS HAVE RESULTED IN NO NEW INFORMATION, NO PROJECTED RESOLUTION AND NO ONE AT FORD CORPORATE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT I HAVE INDICATED IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE STEPS THAT NHTSA CAN TAKE TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION.

ONLY LAST MONTH I NOTICED OIL ON SIDES OF CAR AND THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED, WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC AT FORD THAT THE "OIL AND WATER WERE MIXING".

WHILE CRUISING AT A STEADY 65MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE MY VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY WENT INTO WHAT THE FORD DEALER LATER CALLED "LIMP MODE." THE CAR LOST ALMOST ALL ITS POWER AND AT FIRST SEEMED TO BE STALLED. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND THE SPEED GRADUALLY DROPPED. THERE WERE TRACTOR-TRAILERS MERGING ONTO AND OFF THE INTERSTATE, AND I HAD A FEARFUL SENSATION OF GOING UP UNDER ONE. THERE WAS TOO MUCH TRAFFIC TO "BACK OFF" AND GO BEHIND THEM, AND I HAD NO ACCELERATION TO GET AROUND. IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO BE "RUN OVER," AND I'M NOT SO SURE THE TRACTOR-TRAILER DRIVERS COULD EVEN SEE ME. AT THE NEXT EXIT I IMMEDIATELY LEFT THE INTERSTATE AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION, TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. TAKING OFF AND ACCELERATING FROM THE INTERSTATE EXIT TO THIS STATION WAS ACTUALLY VERY DIFFICULT. IT FELT LIKE I WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH ACCELERATION TO PROPERLY MANEUVER. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. I SPOKE WITH A LADY WHO SEEMED VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE PROBLEM, (WHICH ACTUALLY WORRIES ME BECAUSE THAT MAKES IT SEEM LIKE A COMMON ISSUE), BUT OFFERED NO SOLUTION. SHE ALMOST SEEMED SLIGHTLY "IRRITATED," AS IF IT WAS SOMETHING SHE HAD "EXPLAINED MANY TIMES BEFORE." SHE SAID "TURN THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES AND LET THE COMPUTER RESET. IF THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IT WILL STILL BE IN 'LIMP MODE,' BUT MORE LIKELY IT WAS A FLUKE AND WILL TURN OFF." I ASKED, "WHY DID THIS HAPPEN? IT'S ONLY SIX MONTHS OLD AND I WAS JUST CRUISING DOWN THE HIGHWAY." HER RESPONSE WAS 'YEAH, IT JUST HAPPENS.'" I PERSONALLY FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE WIDESPREAD AND NEEDS INVESTIGATION. IT FELT LIKE A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND IS APT TO REPEAT ITSELF. THE DEALER OFFERED NO IMMEDIATE SOLUTION OTHER THAN, "LET'S JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENS." *TR

THIS ISSUE STARTED MAY OF 2014 WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS AT 13,000 MILES. WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT AS I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR WILL SHAKE IN IDLE. ONCE I PRESS ON THE GAS THE RPMS WILL SLOWLY GO TO AROUND 2000 RPMS. AT THIS POINT THE ENTIRE CAR WILL SHAKE THEN JUMP INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. I HAVE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. LUCKLY NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS ESTABLISHED BY FORD. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ON TWO OCCASIONS AND AM GOING TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. FROM MY DISCUSSIONS WITH FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED AS NOTHING HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED. IF THEY WOULD DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THEN A COUPLE MILES THEY WOULD FEEL THE ISSUE.
