2016 Ford Focus Complaint Log

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND SHUDDERS WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWING DOWN ON A CITY STREET.

I BOUGHT A USED 2016 FORD FOCUS 4DR SE AT AUTOCITY EL CAJON ON MAY 21, 2018 WITH ODO: 45,141 AND WAS UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY UPON PURCHASE FOR THE PRICE OF $15,164.23.

DECEMBER 2018- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD VIA SNAIL MAIL AND CALLED A FORD DEALER TO SUBMIT A TICKET. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX THE RECALL AND WILL BE NOTIFIED ONCE AVAILABLE. NO RESPONSE BACK REGARDING THE ISSUE TILL THIS DAY. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S32/ NHTSA RECALL 18V-735 *I WAS ADVISED AND COMPLIED WITH ALWAYS LEAVING MY FUEL LEVEL TO 1/2 TANK OF GAS UNTIL THE RECALL GETS RESOLVED.

DECEMBER 19, 2019- I GOT AN APPOINTMENT WITH AUTOCITY AND GOT A RESOLUTION UNDER THEIR WARRANTY: PORTFOLIO SERVICE WARRANTY WHICH LEFT ME TO PAY $100 COPAY. RECEIPT SHOWS THE FAULT CODE: P1294 THE ENGINE LIGHT ISSUE WAS FIXED , HOWEVER, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING JERKING, ACCELERATION LAG AND TROUBLE STARTING WHILE USING THE CAR TILL THIS DAY.

ON 10/27/2018 APPROXIMATELY 1330 AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO 29 IN WARRENTON HEADED TOWARDS CULPEPER GOING ABOUT 45MPH THE CAR SPUTTERED AND STALLED. TOOK 3 TIMES TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THEN DID IT AGAIN AFTER MAKING A LEFT ONTO 17 IN BEALETON. THE VEHICLE WOULD GET UP TO ABOUT 20 MPH AND JUST STALL IN TRAFFIC. THIS IS BECOMING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY HAVING MY 12 YEAR OLD IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME.

TRANSMISSION IS LOUD AND GRINDS WHEN MAKING TURNS AND HAS A JERKING MOTION WHEN INCREASING AND DECREASING SPEED.

DRIVING TO WORK ALL INSTRUMENT LIGHTS CAME ON, RPM AND SPEEDOMETER DROPPED TO 0, MILAGE TURNED TO -----, FOLLOWED BY MESSAGE STEERING ASSIST FAILURE, FOLLOWED BY TRANSMISSION FAILURE SERVICE NOW MESSAGE, I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED OFF THE ENGINE TO SEE IF MESSAGES WOULD CLEAR. WOULD NOT RESTART, NOT IN PARK MESSAGE CAME ON.

WAS DRIVING HOME LOST POWER STEERING.. PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY THANK GOD ...STEERING WHEEL GOT SEIZED..CALLED FORD THEY WOULD NOT HELP ONLY TO SAY THERE WAS NO RECALL ..MY CAR IS A 2016 FORD FOCUS S ..THE CAR IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT IF HAPPENED

APPROXIMATELY AT 30000 MILES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO SHEEHY OF WARRENTON BECAUSE WHILE ON RTE 28 IN STERLING VA THE VEHICLE WAS INTERMITTENTLY JERKING SPUTTERING AND STALLING. DEALER STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES BECAUSE NO CODE WAS PRESENT. ON 10/18/18 I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN MOTION. THEY STATED THAT CODE SAYS LOW FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THAT FIRST TO SEE. I NOTICED TODAY THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THE EXACT ISSUE I'M HAVING BUT RECALLS ARE ONLY ON THE 2.0 MODEL MINE IS THE 1.0.

FORD FOCUS 2016 IS TRANSMISSION IS STILL EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AS PREVIOUS FORDS MODELS IN CATEGORY, INCLUDING ENGINE SLIPS, SHUDDERING , STALLING AND NOT CHANGING GEARS PROPERLY, CREATE HAZARDS, IM CONSTANTLY BATTLING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, AND IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE MORE THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF RECKS ON THE HIGHWAY, OR EVEN LEAVING MY HOUSE BECAUSE OF THIS CAR, I CONSTANTLY FEAR FOR MY SAFETY WITHIN THIS VEHICLE, AND I KNOW ITS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS, IM STUCK IN THIS VEHICLE AND NOBODY HAS THE ANSWERS. TODAY FOR EXAMPLE I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE I STOPED AT A STOP SIGN TO TAKE A LEFT IT WAS MORNING TRAFFIC, I TAKE A TURN IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER, BUT THE RPMS JUMP TO 4 ALMOST 5, AND THE CAR STARTS TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND IT STALLS BRIEFLY IN THE MIDDLE OF BOTH LANES AND MAKES A SHUDDERING NOISE AS I ACCELERATE MORE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, IT SHAKES MORE AND JUMPS FORWARD IN A JERKING MOTION, I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A CAR!! THIS CAR HAS A CLEAN RECORD, NO RECKS OR ANYTHING AND PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF!

ON OCTOBER 11, 2018 THE SAME DAY AS HURRICANE MICHEL, MY 2016 FORD FOCUS ST WAS INVOLVED IN A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE CUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND LOST COMPLETE CONTROL BY ITSELF, CAUSING THE CAR TO FLIP ON ITS SIDE AND BE COMPLETELY TOTALED. THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH WAS UNKNOWN AT THE TIME, BUT ON OCTOBER 25, 2018 FORD PUTS OUT A RECALL FOR THE EXACT MODEL FORD FOCUS BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE CAUSING THE CAR TO RANDOMLY STALL. THEY ARE TELLING OWNERS TO KEEP THEIR FUEL TANK ABOVE HALF FULL TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM AND I KNOW AT THE TIME MY FUEL TANK WAS NOT ABOVE HALF AND THE INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE ON. I BELIEVE THE CAUSE OF THIS CRASH WAS FROM THE RECALL THAT FORD PUT OUT ONLY A FEW DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT TOTALING MY 2016 FORD FOCUS ST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE TRANSMISSION SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD.

ITS 27000 MILES AND ITS LEAKING OIL OUT THE FRONT AND BACK AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISION

MY 2016 FORD FOCUS & ITS "POWERSHIFT" TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING. ON THURSDAY OCT. 4, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR SHUTTERED THEN STALLED AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. I PURCHASED THE CAR AT THE END OF JANUARY 2018, BRAND NEW AND HAVE PUT 29,537 MILES ON IT. I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE CLUTCH SYSTEM WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED THE 2012 FORD FOCUS WHICH HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE AND HAD TO HAVE THE CHIP ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRANSMISSION REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. WHILE THE SALES STAFF TOLD ME THIS ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AND THE NEWER TRANSMISSIONS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE 2012 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION WAS NEVER RESOLVED AND THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE. I CONSIDER THIS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE AS MY 2012 BROKE DOWN NUMEROUS TIMES IN TRAFFIC AND ON FREEWAYS, LEAVING ME STRANDED UNTIL IT DECIDED TO "REENGAGE" AND ALLOW THE CAR TO GO IN A FORWARD MOTION. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER EACH TIME AND WAIT FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO REENGAGE SO I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS. IF THE 2016 TRANSMISSION HAS THE SAME ISSUE, I AM CONCERNED THAT EVENTUALLY IT TO WILL LEAVE ME OR SOME OTHER DRIVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR WORSE STALL WHILE AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.

WHEN IT'S DRIVING UP A HILL IT'S MAKES A SOUND WHERE AS THE SPEED STAYS THE SAME AND DO WANT INCREASE. I BELIEVE IT'S THE CLUTCH IS SCRAPING WHEN IT RUNS. WHEN DRIVING SAME LEVEL DOES THE SAME BUT SOMETIMES UNEXPECTED.

UNKNOWN. I believe this vehicle's engine is also impacted by the recall campaign number 18V735000, even though the engine is a 2.0L L4. The same issues that are mentioned in the recall campaign occurred with this vehicle around the 60k milage and 120k milage mark. These issues seems to happen every 60k miles. I did report this same issue with this system with this vehicle when this happened when the milage hit around 60k. The engine check light did show up each time this happened and the vehicle would stall immediately, even while driving at interstate speeds of around 70mph.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE FAULT NOW" MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,995.

WHEN I AM IN PARK MY DRIVER SIDE FLOOR IS SHAKING AND WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT AND BEGIN TO GO MY CAR JERKS GOING FROM 1 TO 2 AND IT ALSO JERKS WHEN I TRY TO PICK UP SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE RIGHT AWAY, BUT APPEARS TO SLIP, AND IT MAKES A NOISE WHICH I WOULD DESCRIBE AS A GRINDING NOISE, AND IT SHUDDERS SLIGHTLY. IT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE THE TEETH IN THE TRANSMISSION GEARS ARE NOT ENGAGING SMOOTHLY, THUS RESULTING IN THE NOISE REFERRED TO. THE NOISE AND SHUDDER DOES NOT OCCUR IN EVERY INSTANCE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, BUT IT DOES IT OFTEN. I TOOK THE FOCUS IN TO A DEALER IN MY AREA IN NOVEMBER 2017 AND THE DETERMINATION WAS THAT THERE WERE NO SOFTWARE UPDATES AVAILABLE AND THAT "NO CONCERN WAS FOUND AT THIS TIME." I DISAGREED WITH THAT FINDING, BUT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING, AND I TRIED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER IN JANUARY 2018 TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AGAIN, BUT THEY TOLD ME THEIR TRANSMISSION GUY WAS OUT FOR TWO WEEKS. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, SO I AM NOT ALWAYS AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH IT, BUT SHE TOLD ME TODAY THAT THE CAR WAS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AGAIN, SO SHE AND I TOOK IT FOR A SHORT DRIVE AND I DISCOVERED THAT IT IS ONCE AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING PROPERLY AND SHUDDERING WITH THE GRINDING, SCRAPING SOUND. I WILL BE TAKING IT AGAIN TO THE DEALER AT HIS NEXT EARLIEST APPOINTMENT TIME, WHICH IS NOT UNTIL SEPT. 4. THE PROBLEM REFERRED TO HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, AND ONE BEGINS TO ACCELERATE.

MY VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING DURING ACCELERATION JUMP DURING DECELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ALSO TRANSMISSION FAILED WARNING. VEHICLE STOPPED CHANGING INTO FINAL GEAR AND PROLONGED OTHER SHIFTING SO TO 3500RNPIR MORE.THESE ACTIONS OCCURRED ON REGULAR STREETS AND HIGHWAY AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND DRIVE SLOWLY. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND "WARNING CAR IS TO HOT" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S HOME DURING THE LAST FAILURE.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 49,500.

I DROVE THE CAR THE MORNING OF THE INCIDENT, NO PROBLEMS OCCURRED . I WENT TO A GAS STATION LATER IN THE DAY. WHEN I CAME BACK OUT AND STARTED THE VEHICLE IT SAID STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED. STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP.

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE. FIRST ISSUE - MY CAR WOULD BE READING THAT I HAD (EXAMPLE) 15 MILES UNTIL EMPTY AND REALLY I HAD 0 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SECOND ISSUE - MY CAR WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING/ACCELERATING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. MUCH WORSE WHEN I HAVE LESS THAN A HALF/QUARTER TANK. MY CAR WILL STILL STALL EVEN WHEN I DO HAVE MORE THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS. MOST TIMES, MY CAR WILL NOT RESTART AFTER THE STALL. THIS ISSUE IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON, AT A DEAD STOP THEN ABOUT TO ACCELERATE, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2018 AND STARTED TO NOTICE THE FUEL TANK ISSUE PRETTY QUICKLY. THE STALLING OUT ISSUE STARTED TO HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE ABNORMALLY WHILE ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SECOND TIME IN ONLY TWO YEARS THAT THE CLUTCHES HAVE GONE BAD. THEY CAUSE EXTREME STUDDERING TO THE VEHICLE UPON ACCELERATION. IT HAS CAUSED SOME EXTREMELY CLOSE CALLS WHERE CARS THINK I AM MOVING FORWARD BUT THE CAR SHUDDERS PREVENTING FORWARD MOTION FOR A FEW SECONDS.

THE WIPERS STOP WORKING IN MID SWEEP, SOMETIMES IT'S THE RIGHT SIDE, SOMETIMES THE LEFT. HAPPENS WHEN IT'S RAINING AND ALSO WHEN THE WINDSCREEN IS DRY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU CAN'T SE THROUGH THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND YOU CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE RAIN. CAR WAS IN MOTION DURING THE RAIN AND IN MOTION OR STATIONARY WHEN USED ON A DRY/DAMP WINDSCREEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPARE TIRE FAILED TO FIT ON THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO SMALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RIVERSIDE FORD (5900 SYCAMORE CANYON BLVD, RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA 92507, 888) 984-4430), BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT ASSIST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR HAS HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE 20K & HAS RUN OUT OF GAS ON ME TWICE & LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CLUTCH & SEVERAL SYLENOIDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE REATAINED A LAWYER FOR HELP WITH MY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR.

THE PASSANGER REAR DOOR HANDLE ASSEMBLY HAS COME APART, THERE IS ONLY 12 THOUSAND MILES ON THIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, WENT TO OPEN REAR DOOR AND THE SMALL PIECE IN THE BACK CAME COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN REST OF THE HANDLE IS VERY LOOSE BUT STILL ATTACHED

I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED. I WAITED A FEW MONTHS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I CAN BRING MY CAR IN. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO REACH OUT TO THEM AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. THAT BEING SAID, I HAD RESCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT SEVERAL TIMES (BECAUSE LIFE HAPPENS). I REACHED OUT AGAIN TO RESCHEDULE AND DID NOT RECIEVE A RESPONSE. I REACHED OUT THE LHM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID SOMEONE WILL BE CONTACTING ME BUT NEVER DID. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING IGNORED, AND I WANT THIS CAR FIXED OR OUT OF MY LEASE. MY CAR VIBRATES SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND NOW IT KIND OF SHAKES WHEN I DO A TURN.

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

WHEN I CUT OFF THE CAR AND HEN GOT BACK IN EVERYTHING WAS DEAD NOTHING WOULD COME ON WOULD NOT EVEN COME OUT OF PARK IT WOULD NO DO ANYTHIMG

RADIATOR SHUTTER STAY CLOSED AND CAR OVERHEATS

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

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL ON THE STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) WITHIN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM (MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER18S32 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER18V735). THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION AND MY CAR HAS STALL MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS.
