AFTER HAVING THE WIPERS REPLACED DURING LAST SERVICE TODAY THE WIPERS BEGAN TO STOP MID WINDSHIELD AND PASSENGER SIDE WOULD JUST DROP DOWN ALL THE WAY AND THEN DRIVER SIDE WOULD DROP AFTERWARDS AND THEY MAY STOP AND START AT WILL. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE TILL THE WIPERS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE SERVICE. DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ITS RAIN GIN TO HAVE WIPERS JUST STOP IS A SAFETY CONCERN.

30 MPH CAR CRASH, IN A CITY ENVIRONMENT. THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEAT BELTS LOCK DURING HARD BRAKING, AS I CRASHED INTO A TRUCK. MY BODY WENT FORWARD AND MY HEAD STRUCK THE STREERING WHEEL, RESULTING IN A CONCUSSION. I PROVIDED A PHOTO OF THE CRASH AND HAVE MORE INCLUDING PHOTOS OF INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES SLIP SO BAD IN THESE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. WHEN YOU PULL ACROSS AN INTERSECTION SOMETIMES IT DON'T CATCH AND IT HESITATES. YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO STALL OR NOT. IT'S WORSE ON STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS TOLD THE CLUTCHES ARE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM A LAWSUIT. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE ON 9/24/2013. SUPPOSEDLY THE CUTOFF DATE WAS JUNE OF THAT YEAR. THESE CARS ARE FAULTY. I PULLED OUT ACROSS A MEDIAN AND THE CAR TOOK OFF THEN HESITATED. RIGHT AS TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING

TAKATA RECALL AMONGST THE KNOWN RECALLS, IS A LOT OF UNSAID ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT STARTED WITH THE TCM. WHEN I HAD THE DEALER FIX IT, THE CODES WERE SHOWING OK BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DISPLAY THE SAME ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. FOR SOME REASON WHEN DRIVING, IT SEEMS AS IF I'M DRIVING A MANUAL VEHICLE INSTEAD OF A AUTOMATIC. THE CLUTCH IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. IT TEND TO GET STUCK IN THE HILL ASSIST MODE. A FEW WEEKS AGO MY CAR JUST DIED. IT SEEMED TO BE THE BATTERY. WHEN REPLACED IT WAS OK FOR A DAY OR SO. I HAD IT CHECKED TO SEE IF MY ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. IT BOTH PLACES STAYED IT WAS FINE. PERIODICALLY IT WOULD STOP. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THERE WHERE ANY DETERMINING FACTORS ON WHEN (LIKE COLD OR HOT WEATHER). SO I DROVE IT LESS. ONE DAY WHEN DRIVING, GOING 46 MPH, IT JUST SHUT DOWN. THE SCREEN SHOWED 'NOT IN PARK', STARTING SYSTEM FAULT AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL. IT THEN BEGAN TO START AND STOP WHENEVER. THE GROUNDS WERE CHECKED, THE STARTER, THE ALTERNATOR, THE FUSE AND ORHERS. MY HORN WOULD SOMETIMES GO OUT FOR DAYS, UP TO WEEKS. WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, IT WOULD EVENTUALLY FLASH 'NORMAL MODE'. IT'S SO MANY THINGS GOING ON HERE! I FEAR ALL THE TIME WITH THIS CAR. WHEN THE TCM STARTED ACTING UP, IT STOPPED WHILE DRIVING TOO. I'M A MOTHER OF 5, I'VE HAS THIS CAR FOR 4 YEARS AS FOR THE PAST 2YRS I'VE BEEN LIVING IN FEAR OF MY CHILDREN AND I DYING IN THIS CAR. I'VE SPENT MORE MONEY BUYING RENTALS AND HAVING OTHERS ASSIST WITH TRANSPORTATION WHEN THIS CAR ACTS UP, I COULD'VE PAID HALF OF MY LAST 2YRS OFF. THIS IS NOT FAIR BECAUSE EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO JUST GET UP A GO TRADE IN A CAR OR WALK AWAY. I'VE BEEN HAVING DIFFERENT PROBLEMS FOR OVER 2 YRS NOW BUT WHEN IT SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER 2018 (THIS MONTH) IT GOT WORST AND I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE FAILURES PROGRESSING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND BEGAN TO STALL. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT DISPLAYING THE CORRECT FUEL AMOUNT. WOODY ANDERSON FORD (2500 JORDAN LN NW, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35810, (877) 315-0514) REPLACED THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO MORE THAN ONE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE), BUT IT WAS UNSURE IF THE FAILURES WERE RELATED. THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

HELLO, I'M SEEKING HELP FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT AS I AM AN OWNER OF A FORD 2014 FOCUS. I'VE HAD THREE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. USUALLY THE CAR BECOMES UNSTABLE/JERKY WHEN DRIVING WHICH SIGNALLED A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS AFTER TWO MORE CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE CEASED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWSON MD INNER CITY STREETS. THE FIRST BEING EXACTLY OVER TWO WEEKS AGO AND WHICH A NEW CLUTCH WAS INSTALLED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND TWO DAYS LATER CALLED THE DELEARSHIP STATING IT IS STILL NOT DRIVING RIGHT. I COULD FEEL SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I NOTICED SUDDEN JERKS AND WHAT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS WEARING OFF AGAIN. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE PERSON MIKE MAZOR THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THE ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS WILL HAVE TO GET USED TO MY DRIVING PATTERN AND TO GIVE IT 1000 MILES. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE ROUTE 40, THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED, MADE A LOUD ROARING SOUND AND WHEN I PUSHED ON THE PEDAL IT SEEMED AS IF IT WAS ON NEUTRAL AND DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. ALL I HEARD WAS THE ENGINE RERVE. EXTREMELY PANICKED AND SCARED I QUICKLY MOVED OVER TO THE YELLOW LINE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR INJURING MYSELF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DELEARSHIP CLOSEBY AS I FELT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING ANY FURTHER. I WAS INFORMED TODAY BY ALPACKER FORD THAT THEY WORKED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NO LONGER ON, THE CAR RUNS JUST FINE. THEY WILL BE DOING ONE MORE TEST TOMORROW TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'M TOTALLY BAFFLED AS TO HOW THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF OR WHY THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE. I'M AFRAID THIS CAR IS GOING TO CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF I KEEP DRIVING AND AND PLEADING HELP FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT TO GET FORD TO FIND THE FAULT AND FIX URGENTLY.

AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACED I DROVE AWAY AND THE WIPERS CAME ON ALL BY THEMSELVES AND ONLY SHUT OFF AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNED OFF FOR 15MIN OR SO. THE NEXT DAY THE WIPERS WONT COME ON AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL WITHIN THIRTY SECONDS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (LOOKOUT FORD, 5557 US-70, MOREHEAD CITY, NC 28557) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,500.

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

BOUGHT CAR NEW. AUTO TRANS CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES IN JULY 2017. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2018 BECAUSE PART FAULTY AGAIN. DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $1,200. FORD WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT.

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!!!

ON 8/24/2018 I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND FILLED THE CAR UP. AS I WAS LEAVING I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD NEVER HEARD ANY NOISE FROM TURNING BEFORE. AS I DROVE HOME 4.7 MILES THERE WERE NO TURNS, BUT THE ROAD DOES WIND A LITTLE BIT. AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THE STEERING FELT A LITTLE "LOOSE" AND A LITTLE UNRESPONSIVE. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR WARNING SO I CONTINUED HOME WHERE I WOULD LOOK AT IT. WHERE THE ROAD CURVED I COULD HEAR A GRINDING SOUND AS TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. NO SOUND WAS HEARD WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. WHEN I GOT TO MY BLOCK I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE GRINDING NOISE WAS VERY PRONOUNCED. WHEN I TURNED LEFT ONTO MY STREET THE NOISE WAS JUST AS PRONOUNCED. WHEN IN MY DRIVEWAY I TURNED THE WHEEL WHILE PARKED AND THE GRINDING SOUND WAS AT THE SAME LEVEL. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT AND LEFT AND THE GRINDING NOISE WAS THE SAME AS WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I READ ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF IT BEING A STEERING ASSIST FAULT. I STARTED THE CAR AND CHECKED FOR WARNINGS AND LIGHTS AND THERE WERE NONE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND GOT THE SAME GRINDING NOISE. THE NEXT DAY I JACKED THE CAR UP TO VISUALLY INSPECT THE STEERING LINKAGE AND CV AXLE. NO PLAY IN THE CV, NOTHING VISIBLY BROKEN IN THE STEERING. I TRIED TURNING THE WHEEL WITH THE CAR ON THE JACK STANDS AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I REMOVED THE STANDS AND TRIED AGAIN TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT, IT WOULD NOT TURN EITHER DIRECTION.

PURCHED VEHICLE MARCH 6TH 2015.GOT THE EXTENDED WARRENTY SINCE THEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED 3 TIMES AND NOW THE ELECTRONIC ASSIST STEERING WENT OUT WHILE PULLING IN MY DRIVE MAKING ME HIT MAILBOX AND MAKE DENT IN HOOD OF CAR.CALLED 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND ALL 3 SAID SORRY THAT'S NOT ON RECALL EVEN THOU THE SAME STEERING IS USED ON OTHER FORD VEHICLES AND ARE ON RECALL.MY WARRENTY OZ UP AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX TRANSMISSION AND STEERING.THE TRANSMISSION WAS MOVED OUT TO A 5 YEAR 10K MILE WARRENTY.LIKE I SAID THEY FIXED UNDER WARRENTY 3 TIMES.THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SEND IT BACK AND HOPEFULLY NOT BE CHARGED FOR THE CAR.

VEHICLE "SHUDDERS" EXCESSIVELY UPON ACCELERATION AFTER A STOP. STALLED ACCELERATION THAT ALMOST LEAD TO CRASH.TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH ON THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT 80,000 MILES

CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE MOVING 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A LOCAL STREET.. BATTERY WAS FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY. WHEN LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER WAS TOLD STARTER MOTOR WAS DEAD, THIS ALSO LATER CONFIRMED BY REPAIR TECHNICIAN AT ANOTHER FACILITY (RIVERSIDE SERVICE). STARTER MOTOR WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION. AT THE SAME TIME STARTER MOTOR WAS REPLACED, 2 IGNITION COILS WERE IDENTIFIED AS FAILED OR FAILING. IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS A TOTAL OF 4 IGNITION COILS HAVE FAILED. FORD HAS NOT IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, MERELY REPLACED BROKEN PARTS. THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED IN ANY WAY THE DANGEROUS CONDITION POSED BY MY CAR'S STALLING ON AN ACTIVE ROADWAY.

ON MY WAY HOME TOWARDS THE END OF AUGUST AND BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER 2018 THE POWER STEERING IN MY CAR STARTED TO GO OUT AND I WAS SAFELY ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR TO A LOCATION NEAR AN INTERSECTION BEFORE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT COMPLETELY

BACK PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LATCH CLOSED. WE DISCOVERED THIS 8/19 BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING, AND WHEN WE STOPPED THE BACK DOOR OPENED AND THEN MADE THE SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CLOSE, BUT IT NEVER DID. TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR BUT IT NEVER LATCHED SHUT. TRIED TO TURN THE LATCH ITSELF IN THE DOOR, THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. 1.5 MILLION CARS MADE BY FORD, INCLUDING 2013-15 FORD FOCUSES, WERE RECALLED IN 2016 FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THE BACK DOOR NO LONGER LATCHES. BARELY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT CONSIDERED TO HAVE THIS RECALL AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DOOR/LATCH UNLESS WE PAY. EVEN THOUGH WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR PUBLIC MEDIA STATEMENT BACK IN SEPT. 2016. SO WE SPENT $680 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT THE FORD DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE FIXED BEFORE EVEN SELLING US THE CAR. THEY, APPARENTLY, WOULD PREFER US DRIVING IN A CAR THAT'S CREATING A HAZARD TO OURSELVES AND OTHER DRIVERS THAN ACTUALLY FIX THEIR MISTAKES AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

FORD (MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS) DOOR LATCH RECALL. I HAD ALREADY SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO ADD OUR VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST. FORD STARTED A RECALL REGARDING THE LATCH ON THEIR DOORS MALFUNCTIONING, CAUSING THEM TO JUST SWING OPEN AND NOT STAY CLOSED. OUR 2014 FORD FOCUS HAD THIS PROBLEM DESPITE US TRYING TO FIX IT AND CLOSE THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. FORD REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING US BECAUSE OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT WE STILL HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

THE CAR "BUCKS" WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS. IT WAS PURCHASED AS A USED RENTAL CAR WITH 30,000 MILES, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. WITHIN THREE MONTHS I HAD A CLUTCH REPLACED. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, LESS THAN TEN MONTHS LATER, THE CLUTCH HAS GONE BAD AGAIN. (THAN 25,000 MILES). I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WILL NOT BE COVERED. I WAS TOLD THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH CLUTCHES.

2014 FORD FOCUS HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING TWO TIMES. ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT. THE SECOND TIME IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BOTH TIMES TRANMISSUON FAULT SERVICE NOW FLASHED, THE CAR SHUDDERED UNTIL IT WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I'VE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED/FIXED 2 TIMES NEITHER COVERED UNDER FULLY AND I WAS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY MY WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE HAD THE TRANDMISSION CONTROL MODULE FIXED ONCE AND NOW IN THE SHOP AGAIN, BUT WAS TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS, HAVEN'T SEEN THE CODES THAT POPULATED BEFORE. EACH TIME I DRIVE THAT CAR I LITERALLY RISK MY LIFE, TO HAVE A CAR JUST DROP RPM TO 0, SHUDDER AND JERK UNTIL I CAN FIND SOMEWHERE TO PARK IT. I DRIVE 40 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK TAKING UP TO 5 DIFFERENT FREEWAYS. AT WHAT POINT DOES MY SAFETY AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND ME BECOME AN ISSUE? WHEN I STALL OUT MID HIGHWAY? WHEN THE CAR JERKS TO A STOP AND SOMEONE SLAMS INTO ME? EACH TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN, I AM TOLD THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, YET I FIND MYSELF BACK AGAIN WITHIN MONTHS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. LOSING POWER ON A CAR WHILE BEING IN FULL MOTION GOING UP TO 45 MPH, IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE. HAVING TO DRIVE A CAR THAT CONSISTENTLY SHAKES AND JERKS WHILE IN MOTION, IS NOT SAFE. HOW MANY MORE TIMES DOES THIS NEED TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMEONE REALIZES THIS MODEL IS NOT SAFE!

I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED MY CLUTCHES ONCE BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DEALER SHIP STATES THAT THEY CANNOT HELP FOR MY CAR DOES NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR IT TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NIT EXCEEDED THE 150,000 MILES. I FEEL UNSAFE FOR MY VEHICLE SHUTTERS WHEN I DRIVE AND NOW HAS BEGUN TO LOSE POWER WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDDLE.

HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS MANY RECALL NOW TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND IT'S IN SHOP.

POWER STEERING FAILURE, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ONE DAY WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE,I STARTED THE CAR& THE POWER STEERING WAS LOCKED AND EXTREMLY HARD TO STEER, I FINALLY DROVE IT HOME WHICH WAS ABOUT 15 MILES, I HAD TO DRIVE VERY SLOW BECAUSE IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A STORE PARKING LOT AND WHEN I RETURNED TO THE CAR IT WAS VERY HEAVY TO TURN THE WHEEL I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT HOME BUT I DIDNT WANT TO LEAVE IT OVERNIGHT IN A STORE PARKING LOT...

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE 2017 AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A DELAY IN SHIFTING. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN 2018 AND THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPS IN THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. IT WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER FOR POWER TRAIN ISSUE BUT IT HAS SINCE BEEN DOING THE SAME. IT STALLS AND SEEMS LIKE THERE IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. MY CLUTCH HAS BEEN CHANGED THEE TIMES.

MY CAR HAS A SEVERE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WHEN APPLYING GAS AFTER STOPPING. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED THAT IT NEEDS A NEW CLUTCH. I'M AWARE THAT FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ON THIS MODEL FOCUS DUE TO A DYSFUNCTION WITHIN THE DESIGN OF THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT RECEIVED THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SOME REASO AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT REPAIRED. . THE CAR IS NOT SAFE DUE TO A DEFECT.

WHY DON"T ANY WEBSITES SHOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR 2012-2016 FORD FOCUS (AND 2011 - 2016 FIESTAS) ??? THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE!!!! LAWSUIT SETTLED OCT. 2017, NOW IN APPEALS.

NOT SAFE!!! LOCAL SONORA FORD WILL NOT SERVICE "DOESN'T MEET THE 250 RPMS "(CURRENTLY "ONLY" 192) LOCAL FORD WILL NOT FIX AND HYUNDAI DOESN'T WANT TO EITHER. LOCAL FORD GUYS TOLD MY 18 YEAR OLD TO "DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT" AND PUNCH THE GAS. THEY ALSO AGREE IT IS NOT SAFE BUT "THEIR HANDS ARE TIED". THEY SAY A NEW CLUTCH WILL MAKE IT OKAY FOR 15-20K MORE, BUT IT THE SHUDDERING WILL RE-OCCUR!! THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND ARE LEMONS AND ALL SHOULD BE REPURCHASED BY FORD AND TAKEN OFF THE ROADS!
