THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED ON ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND JERK AND IT WOULD LOSE POWER.

HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER A YEAR. HAD PERFORMED WELL UNTIL ABOUT 20,000 MILES. I DO A LOT OF DRIVING FERRYING CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL, TO SPORTING EVENTS, GETTING MYSELF TO AND FROM WORK. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND IT SEEMED LIKE THERE WAS A TIMING ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTING MECHANISM. I OFTEN HAD TO MASH DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT TO ADVANCE. IT IS VERY TRICKY IN TRAFFIC ESP. ON THE INTERSTATE. WE ARE OBLIGED TO USE I-10, THE BUSIEST HIGHWAY IN AMERICA, AND TO GO ACROSS THE I-10 MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRIDGE WHERE SUCH HESITATION AND LACK OF CONTROL OF SPEED COULD PROVOKE A FATAL ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE MANAGER IMPLIED THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IT CORRECTLY GIVEN THAT IT IS NOT TRULY AN "AUTOMATIC" TRANSMISSION. MIND YOU IT IS NOT MARKETED AN ANYTHING BUT AN AUTOMATIC. THEY PERFORMED SOME KIND OF COMPUTER ADJUSTMENT. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO MANIFEST ITSELF HOWEVER ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CAR HAS WARMED UP. TOOK IT BACK IN AND THE SERVICE GUY WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL, STILL IMPLYING THAT I JUST NEEDED TO ADJUST MY METHOD OF DRIVING. AM NOW WAITING ON A NEW SET OF CLUTCHES THAT WILL "REPAIR" THE PROBLEM BUT NOT GET RID OF THE "SHUTTERING". I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A LOANER CAR IN THE INTERIM AND CONTINUE TO SUBJECT MY CHILDREN TO THESE UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS TRANSMISSION AND FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP TO IT AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR CUSTOMERS BEFORE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND FATALITIES.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Focus. The contact stated while accelerating from a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated to respond, started jerking, and the transmission was slipping. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact continued to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission clutch and the transmission sensor system had failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred several times while driving at various speeds. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer seven more times. The dealer replaced the transmission clutch and the transmission sensor system; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who provided the same diagnostic result and informed the contact that he would be responsible for the cost of repair as the vehicle was out of warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE GETTING THE VEHICLE SERVICED, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE STEERING GEAR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V514000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,617.

I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY. IN MARCH, THE TRUNK POPPED OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO SINCE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT 5 TIMES. THEY HAVE DONE 3 REPAIRS BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 35 MPH WHEN DRIVING FOR MORE THAN 35 MINUTES. I JUST PICKED THE VEHICLE UP FROM THE DEALER ON 1/17/17. ON 1/18/17, THE DASHBOARD INDICTED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ALL OF THESE OCCURRENCES WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR BACKROADS WITH LITTLE TO NO STOPPING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND MERGING OFF A RAMP, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER LANE, SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART, BUT THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORRISTOWN FORD (1112 W MORRIS BLVD, MORRISTOWN TN, 37813) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEALS IN THE CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

SINCE DAY ONE THIS CAR'S TRANSMISSION HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY. I SHOULD HAVE JUST BROUGHT IT RIGHT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DAY. IT HAS BEEN BACK 4 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSIONS ISSUES: SHUTTERING AT TAKE OFF, ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WITHOUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS, KEEPS CHANGING GEARS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON A HIGHWAY, LURCHES FORWARD WHEN MOVING SLOWLY (PULLING INTO A GAS STATION), RPMS GO UP WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF OF THE GAS AND DO NOT DROP BACK DOWN AGAIN UNTIL YOU ARE AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE FRONT BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY WORN. I SEE THESE COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET OVER AND OVER AGAIN. TODAY WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR ON A HIGHWAY AND IT JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. HAD TO PULL OVER VERY QUICKLY TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING WITH AN ENGINE FAULT MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. FORD'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE DOESN'T EVEN COVER GETTING YOUR CAR OFF OF A TOLL ROAD AND LIVING IN NJ THEY ARE HARD TO AVOID. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THAT IS THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES. THEY WRITE UP THE PAPER WORK VERY VAGUE AND NEVER PUT THE CORRECT DESCRIPTION FOR THE ISSUES. THE CAR GOES IN AND OUT OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT - PROGRAMMING UPDATE. THERE ARE 479 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS CAR ON JUST THIS SITE FOR MOSTLY THE SAME ISSUE. THE OTHER 2 CARS I OWN HAVE 0 AND 35 COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE - BIG DIFFERENCE. MY LAST FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD SHIFT INTO ANOTHER GEAR INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER THREE TIMES, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR HAS A PROBLEM TAKING OFF AND SEEMS TO NOT WANT TO SHIFT. IT NOW WILL NOT DRIVE AND I HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. PAID OVER $1000 AND STILL NOT FIXED. SAID IT WAS THE TCM. NOW THEY WANT ANOTHER $800 (SAYING THEY ARE GIVING ME A DISCOUNT) TO CHANGE THE CLUTCH FORK AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL WORK. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT IN 2016. CALLED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 1 MONTH AGO AND WHEN IT IS AT A STOP AND YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR, IT SHUDDERS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND AND BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD. IT IS GETTING WORSE THE LONGER THE PROBLEM GOES ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO PARKWAY FORD IN WINSTON SALEM, NC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THE PART HAS BEEN ORDERED AND COULD TAKE 3+ MONTHS BEFORE IT WILL COME IN AND MY CAR CAN BE FIXED. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT ACTS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAVING TO WAIT POSSIBLY 3 MONTHS FOR THE WARRANTY REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WHILE TURNING AT A LIGHT, MY STEERING WENT OUT AND CAUSED ME TO VEER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN THE OPPOSING LANE. IT NOW TAKES GREAT EFFORT AND MUSCLE TO MAKE AND TURNS IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. NOW WHEN I TURN ON THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYS THAT THERE IS AN URGENT TRANSMISSION FAULT, THEN IT WILL FLASH THAT THERE IS AN URGENT STEERING ASSIST FAULT. WHILE RUNNING A VEHICLE HEALTH REPORT, THE VEHICLE STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS AT A "REDUCED POWER STATE" WHICH CAUSES IT TO HESITATE, NOT CHANGE GEARS, AND NOT BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY - ALL OF WHICH FORD SAYS ARE "CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS TRANSMISSION." ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK AT ALL IN SPORT MODE AND HAS WENT INTO REVERSE OR PARK GRINDING TO A SCREECHING HALT WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, I DID NOT CRASH WHEN THE STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN A LEMON LAW DISPUTE, THEREFORE, FORD WILL NOT FURTHER DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. ...UPDATED 12/28/16 *BF UPDATED 01/03/17.*JB

THE TRANSMISSION ON THE FOCUS IS INEFFECTIVE AND, QUITE FRANKLY, DANGEROUS. DELAYED STARTS AND FAILURES TO ACCELERATE ARE THE NORM. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AND THIS MODEL REALLY SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE INJURIES HAPPEN.

YESTERDAY I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING SEEMED TO GO OUT AS IF MY ENGINE HAD STALLED (DIDN'T). IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION UNTIL TODAY WHEN I ENTERED A ROUNDABOUT WHEN THE STEERING STARTED TO LOSE THE POWER FEATURE IF ONLY FOR A FEW MOMENTS. I CONSULTED A FORD DEALER AND SAW NO RECALLS ON THIS PROBLEM. I AM HAVING THE CAR CHECKED ON 3/14/16 FOR MY TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AND WILL ATTEMPT TO GET THIS LOOKED AT THEN. IT IS TROUBLING TO KNOW THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED. IN THE ROUNDABOUT I SEEMED TO HAVE A MANUAL STEERING FEATURE, BUT AS I STATED THE ROUNDABOUT SPEED WAS ABOUT 15 MPH.

THE VEHICLE A 2014 FORD FOCUS S MODEL WAS MOVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STALLED OUT DUE TO THE WIRING SPLICES GOING BAD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OUT AND STOP WITHOUT WARNING

CAR JERKS, HESITATES FROM STOPPED POSITION. CLUTCH REPLACED AT 10,000 MILES. AT 15,000 MILES CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK INTO THE DEAL. COMPUTER ADJUSTMENTS MADE ON THE CLUTCH AND PUT WITHIN RANGE. CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 MORE TIMES. THE LAST ON MARCH 10 2016. CAR STARTED TO JERK AND HESITATE THE VERY NEXT DAY. I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE TRANS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE HAD A FORD SINCE 1982. MY 2 BROTHERS WORK FOR FORD FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I AM REALLY CONSIDERING MOVING ON FROM FORD WITH MY NEXT VEHICLE. VERY FRUSTRATED CUSTOMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE CLUTCH AND WAS TAKEN TO DEACON JONES FORD (3301 MCLAIN ST, GOLDSBORO, NC 27534), AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED FIELD SERVICE ACTION NUMBER: 14M02 (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIR) AND THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000.

HEARD NOISE IN STEERING AND TIRES TOOK CAR TO BE CHECKED OUT WAS NOTHING WRONG THAT IS HOW IT SOUNDS AND DRIVES. THIS WAS 2 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE CAR. IN MARCH 2016 TURNING A CURVE CAR STEERING GOT HARD AND LOCKED UP HIT CURVE BUSTED AXLLE AND STEERING COMPONENT. REPLACED AXLE THOUGHT THAT WAS ALL. THEN HAD CAR TAKEN TO FORD I WAS THEN INFORMED OF $3000.00 IN DAMAGES AND LABOR TO FIX IT. I DID NOT PROCEED TO GETTING FIXED . THE SERVICE MANAGER PROCEEDED TO THROW THE KEYS AT ME AND GOT PISSED BECAUSE I WOULDN'T GET CAR FIXED RIGHT THEN.I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE ISSUES ON THE INTERNET LOOKING INTO THE CAR PARTS AND ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

THE TRANSMISSION IS CONSTANTLY SLIPPING AND MAKING THE CAR SHUTTER AND JERK WHEN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AT TIMES OR WILL JERK FORWARD SUDDENLY. WHEN IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL BACK SLIGHTLY IF ON A SMALL SLOPE OR HILL. IT IS NOT SAFE. I WILL HAVE THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS THIS MONTH AND IT WILL ALSO BE THE 5TH TIME I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT IN. THE LAST TIME THEY REPLACED MY WHOLE CLUTCH AND HERE I AM 6 MONTHS LATER HAVING TO TAKE IT IN TO THE SHOP AGAIN. THEY KEEP SAYING THAT IT'S "NORMAL". I HONESTY SEE NOTHING NORMAL OR SAFE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE.

MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND CURRENTLY HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT. THE AIR BAG HOUSING WAS LOOSED AND HAS PLAY ON IT, WHEN REPORTED TO A FORD DEALER IN MERCED CA, I WAS TOLD THEIR WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION, IT SLIPS. I RECENTLY RECIEVED NOTICES IN THE MAIL FROM 3RD PARTY LAWYERS STATING THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FOCUS, AND "SHUTTERING" MAY ALSO APPEAR. THE LOWER ARM, ROTOR HOUSING WAS RECENTLY REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE BEARINGS FAILING DUE TO "FREEZING UP." FORD REPRESENTATIVES ARE DOWN PLAYING THE SHUTTERING AND SAYING IT IS DUE TO A PROGRAM ISSUE, AND "WHEN" IT OCCURS, TO BRING IT IN.

THE TRUNK WILL POP OPEN WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION). IT HAPPENED COUPLE TIMES ON MANY DIFFERENT SITUATIONS AND EVEN IN THE HIGHWAY. LAST TIME I WAS AT AN AVENUE AND IT RANDOMLY OPENED AND I HAD TO URGENTLY PARK. I HAVE RECORDED A VIDEO THAT SHOWS THE EVENT. I HAVE ALSO SENT MY CAR TO FORD OVER 4 TIMES TO REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION AS MY CAR WAS SHUDDERING AND SHAKING ON TAKE OFFS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. AT 5,800 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO JERK AND VIBRATE WHEN THE GEARS WERE SHIFTED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED AT 18,500 MILES. AFTER REPAIRING THE VEHICLE AGAIN, THE FAILURE RECURRED AT 29,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE INITIAL FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,800. UPDATED 04/22/16*LJ *TR

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION AND SEEMS TO SLIP WHEN GAS /POWER APPLIED. FORD NEVER COMPLETELY FIXED THIS PROBLEM WHEN CAR UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW WILL NOT TOUCH IT SAYING 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK 22 MAY 2019. PREVIOUSLY REPORTED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A 2014 FOCUS. FORD DEALER STATED 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT PREVIOUSLY REPORTED. ?????

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Focus. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated while accelerating. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly shift into neutral, causing the contact to pull over and wait until the failure was self-corrected. The transmission failure warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that for the past three months the vehicle remained inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the clutch assembly failed and needed to be repaired or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

AT 26000 MILES I TOOK CAR TO DEALER AGAIN FOR THE CAR GRINDING AND JERKING AT LOW SPEED (10 MILES PER HOUR) AND NOT HAVING POWER ON ACCELERATION AT 40 MPH. THE CAR JUST DECELERATES FOR AWHILE BEFORE IT FINALLY GOES. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR IS NEEDING A SECOND CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN 2 YEARS OLD. BUT IT WILL BE ABOUT 10 WEEKS BEFORE THE PART WILL BE IN. I HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2014 (SHARDS OF METAL WERE FOUND IN THE BELL HOUSING) AND HAD THEIR RECALL OF THE TCM PERFORMED FALL LAST YEAR. WHAT IS SAD IS THAT THE DEALER/FORD ARGUES WITH THE CONSUMER AND TRIES TO KEEP TELLING ME EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT I HAVE FILED ON THIS (REFERENCE #10726101). THESE CARS ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD.

TRANSMITTION SHUDDERS 1ST TO 2ND GEAR UPON ACCELERATION AND WHILE TURNING SLOW TO STALLS IN TRAFFIC. GRINDING NOISE FROM TRANSMITTION WHILE DRIVING AND IN PARK. LOSS OF POWER FROM START IN TRAFFIC. ERRATIC TRANSMITTION GEAR CHANGES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. VEHICLE VIOLENTLY ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND VEHICLE PLACED INTO REVERSE. 2ND TIME FORD SERVICED VEHICLE AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PROBLEMS EXIST EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. STARTED AROUND 7000 MILES ON NEW VEHICLE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 15400.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HESITATION, SEVERE VIBRATION, AND LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. AIR PORT FORD (8001 BURLING PIKE, FLORENCE, KY) WAS CONTACTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH PACK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO BROWNS FORD LINCOLN (1701 W MAIN ST, WEST LIBERTY, KY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH PACK WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED OR ACCELERATED AS SOON AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE ISSUE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN WHERE THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED 1,000 MILES LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A THIRD TIME WHERE THE TRANSMISSION MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED AGAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER CSP:14M01 TO HAVE THE WARRANTY EXTENDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

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.

"STOP SAFELY NOW". WHILE DRIVING, POWER TO THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES. "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE SHOWS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES. THE FIRST WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN FEBRUARY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF WAY OF TRAFFIC BEFORE IT CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK IT TO FORD ON 2/24/16 AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX THIS (I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL). THEY MADE THE REPAIRS AND SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ON 4/18/16, THE CAR AGAIN COMPLETELY STOPPED AS I ENTERED AN INTERSECTION AND "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN. A SEMI-TRUCK BEHIND ME CAME TO A SKIDDING STOP, A FEW FEET FROM MY BUMPER. I WAS VERY LUCKY ONCE AGAIN TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO NEWARK FORD AGAIN ON 4/18/16 AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE. I ASKED IF WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY SAID "ABSOLUTELY", THEY DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. ON 4/21, THE CAR AGAIN SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING 50MPH. THE SAME MESSAGE"STOP SAFELY NOW" APPEARED. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY SAID IF THE MECHANICS SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. I SAID I DON'T FEEL SAFE SINCE THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. HE SAID IF YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR. I TOLD HIM THAT IS NOT A GOOD SOLUTION AS I AM PAYING FORD TO LEASE THE CAR AND NEED TRANSPORTATION. HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING FORD CAN DO, IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE STATE, FORD IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. HOW CAN I FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT MIGHT SUDDENLY STOP AT ANY TIME?? I DRIVE 50 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT. WHY DOESN'T FORD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CAR AND THE EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUES?

WE BOUGHT A 2014 FOCUS ON MARCH 27, 2015 AND DROVE THE FOCUS WITHOUT PROBLEMS UNTIL JANUARY 2016. ON FEBRUARY 22, 2016, THE ENGINE OIL WARNING WAS FLASHING. ALMOST ALL THE OIL WAS DEPLETED. IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 5,000 MILES SINCE THE LAST OIL CHANGE, SO IT WAS STRANGE. WE TOOK OUR CAR INTO KAYSER FORD THE NEXT DAY. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS. IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT NOT ENOUGH OIL WAS FILLED PREVIOUSLY. THEY THEN FILLED OIL TO THE MAX LEVEL. ON MARCH 10, WE CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AFTER 500 MILES SINCE THE LAST CHANGE. THE OIL LEVEL WAS LOW. WE WENT BACK TO KAYSER, AND THEY FOUND THAT THE OIL LEVEL VARIED. THEY SUSPECTED AN OIL BURNING PROBLEM. WE THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH AN ENGINE SPECIALIST AND HAD 2 QUARTS OF OIL PUT IN. ON MARCH 15, WE VISITED KAYSER AGAIN AND HAD THE ENGINE SPECIALIST CHECK IT. THEY AGAIN FELT THAT NOT ENOUGH OIL WAS FILLED THE LAST TIME, AND WE SHOULD BRING IT BACK AFTER ANOTHER 500 MILES. THE LAST FULL OIL CHANGE WAS DONE BY KAYSER ON FEBRUARY 23. WE MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT ON MARCH 24, AND WE THEN WENT ON A 400 MILE TRIP. AFTER WE ARRIVED AND CHECKED THE OIL ON MARCH 20, THE OIL WAS MUCH LOWER THAN THE MINIMUM LEVEL. SINCE IT WAS SUNDAY AND WE DID NOT WANT TO RISK AN ACCIDENT, WE ADDED FORD MOTORCRAFT 5W20 OIL. ON MARCH 24, WE WENT BACK TO KAYSER AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT WE HAD TO COME BACK AGAIN LATER BECAUSE WE ADDED OIL SINCE THE LAST SERVICE. WE SHOWED EVIDENCE THROUGH PHOTOS, BUT HE REFUSED TO DO A DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. HE SAID THAT THEY HAD TO REPORT THE EXACT AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION LOST IN ORDER TO DO MORE. WE HAD TO VISIT FAMILY LIVING ABOUT 170 MILES AWAY, BUT WE DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THAT FAR. WE ASKED KAYSER FORD TO PROVIDE US A RENTAL CAR, BUT THEY WOULDN'T. WE MADE IT TO OUR DESTINATION, BUT WE HAD A LOW AMOUNT OF OIL THE NEXT DAY. WE THEN TOOK IT TO A NEARBY FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A FILL UP.

MY VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN TAKING OFF FROM AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. WHEN ON THE HIGH WAY MY VEHICLE DOES NOT TRANSIISSION FROM 20MPH-60MPH SMOOTHLY. VEHICLE JERKS AND SHAKES. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE I RIDE AROUND WITH MY TODLER AND I'M AFRAID SOMEONE WILL HIT US BECAUSE MY CAR STALLS. RECENTLY GOT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE REPLACED AT FORD DELARSHIP BUT ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. I HAVE 24,400 MILES. BOUGHT VEHICLE BRAND NEW. LONG TRIPS ARE NOT SMOOTH NOT EVEN FROM SCHOOL, WORK AND BACK.

MADE COMPLAINTS TO FORD REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION FAILURES WHILE DRIVE ON ROADS, I.E. STALLING, DECREASING SPEED, JERKING ETC. AS A RESULT I HAD TO TAKE A LOSS ON THE TRADE IN AT MOUNTAIN VIEW FORD IN CHATTANOOGA, TN (LOSS = $8500.00)

SHUDDERING OF THE AUTO TRANSMISSION, ERRATIC SHIFTING, BOGGING DOWN DURING ACCELERATION/WONT GO. PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY TODAY ONTO THE STATE HIGHWAY I LIVE ON AND THE CAR SHUDDERED AND WOULD NOT GO, WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE SIDE DUE TO THE CARS LACK OF POWER TO ENTER TRAFFIC. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY!

2014 FORD FOCUS - 28,000 MILES: TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW: WHILE DRIVING ON A TOLL BRIDGE AT 80 MPH THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS APPEARED: BRAKE-ABS-CAR ON ROAD-CAR ON ROAD OFF: I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE TOLL AND PARK IN AN EXXON. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MAXWELL FORD. IT TOOK THEM EIGHT DAYS TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM MODULE TRANSMISSION CONTROL. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY: 10 YEARS, 150,000 MILES. I AM DRIVING IT NOW, BUT THE CAR IS NOW PULLING WHILE DRIVING AND SHUDDERING, HESITATING AND THEN JERKING. TO HAVE A NEW CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON A TOLL HIGHWAY, WITH CARS COMING AT YOU AT 85MPH WAS THE MOST INSANELY SCARY, DANGEROUS & LIFE THREATENING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I TRUSTED FORD WITH MY SAFETY, MY MONEY AND MY LIFE. WHY ISN'T THIS PROBLEM UNDER RECALL? SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BEHIND THIS PROBLEM.

BOUGHT CAR FEBRUARY OF 2016 AT 28,000 MILES, CAR STARTED HESITATING, STUTTERING, VIBRATING AT ACCELERATION. OTHER TIMES, IT FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO JUST TAKE OFF ON ITS OWN. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH AND IT WOULD TAK 8-12 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN AND IN THE MEAN TIME I CAN DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT WORRY. I DO WORRY BECAUSE MY SON JUST GOT HIS LICENSE AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE HESITATION WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF FOCUS OWNERS ARE DEALING WITH. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AT LOW SPEED. OCCASIONALLY THE TRANSMISSION WILL HESITATE WHEN TAKEN OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASED AND TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.

SEVERE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH PROBLEMS. SHUDDERS, HESITATES AND SURGES WHEN SHIFTING OR EVEN JUST DRIVING. CANNOT SLOW THEN ACCELERATE WITHOUT STOPPING WITHOUT HEAVY JERKING. WHEN TRYING TO PASS ON A FREEWAY, CAR FALLS INTO NEUTRAL AND WON'T ACCELERATE. CAR HAS FEWER THAN 10,000 MILES AND CLUTCH IS ALREADY 25% WORN.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS HAD THE CLUTCH PACK REPLACED THREE TIMES BY THE DEALER. THE CAR HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW SPEED DOESN'T DOWN SHIFT CAUSING HEAVY VIBRATION. THE REPAIR LASTS A FEW WEEKS TO A FEW MONTHS THEN COMES BACK. THE PARTS FOR THE LAST REPAIR TOOK ABOUT 10 WEEKS FOR THE DEALER TO RECEIVE. TWO DEALERS I HAVE TALKED TO SAID THE CLUTCH PACK ON THE FORD FOCUS AND FORD FIESTA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS ARE FAULTY AND IS PART THAT FAILS CONSTANTLY. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT AND NOW HAS IT'S FOURTH CLUTCH PACK. THE TRANSMISSION IS AN AUTOMATIC. I HAVE PAPERWORK FOR ALL OF THE REPAIRS.

THE TRANSMISSION IS BEING DEFECTIVE SINCE I INITIALLY PURCHASE THE CAR IN AUGUST 2014, I DID NOT NOTICED IT RIGHT AWAY, IT WAS UNTIL I WAS DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER THAT HE MENTION THE SHAKE THAT THE CAR HAVE WHEN I WAS IN A STOP AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE IT START SHAKING LIKE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING A MANUAL AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY CHANGE THE SHIFT. IT KEEP DOING IT SO I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP MECHANICS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE ALL THE TRANSMISSIONS WERE DUAL EVEN IF THEY CHANGE IT I WILL STILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME. SO AT THAT MOMENT THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD ONLY RESET THE COMPUTER TO SEE IF ALLEVIATE THE PROBLEM, IT DIDN'T SO I TRY TO TAKE IT AGAIN BUT THEY WILL TELL ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PERSONAL TO DO TRANSMISSION WORK OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATING VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED OR REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES ALONG WITH THE PEDAL AND THE CAR KEEPS BREAKING DOWN. COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH FORD AND THEY REFUSE ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY. I BROKE DOWN 3 TIMES DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AND ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. EACH PART WE REC'D HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE AND WILL ONLY WORK UP TO A CERTAIN MILE AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF . 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
