2013 Ford Focus complaints

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE STUTTER MY TRANSMISSION IS HAVING WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A STOP SIGN. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEE THAT THERE ARE RECALLS ON 2014 AND HIGHER. MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2013 FORD FOCUS.

EVERY TIME I TRY TO EVEN SLIGHTLY INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION SPUTTERS AND SHAKES AND CONTINUES UNTIL I'M NOT IN ANY UPCLINE AT ALL. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR MANY TIMES TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS JUST TO BE TOLD IT'S NOTHING OR IT'S BECAUSE YOUR VEHICLE IS A FLEX SO THE CAR THINKS IT'S IN MANUAL. IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. JUST DRIVE IT AND ITLL BE FINE. WELL 6YEARS HAVE PAST AND IT JUST GETS WORSE EACH TIME. I'VE PARTED THE CAR AND DRIVE IT OCCASIONALLY BECAUSE WHEN IT JERKS AND DOESNT GO INTO GEAR OR ACCELERATION IS NONE EXISTANT IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE HITS ME FROM BEHIND ON THE HYW. BUT AGAIN FORD HAS NOT HONORED MY 100000 WARRANTY WHEN MY CATILATIC CONVERTER WENT OUT WHEN I ONLY HAD 80000 MILES ON IT. FOUND OUT A YEAR LATER THAT IT WAS COVERED. FORD IS HORRIBLE ON CORRECTING ISSUES THAT ARE A SAFETY MATTER.AT THIS POINT LIKE A SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT'S THEIR WORD AGAINST MINE. THEY HAVE THE POWER SO EITHER DEAL WITH IT OR GET RID OF YOUR CAR.

MY CAR KEEPS FLASHING THE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS. I CAN'T GET IT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT ONLY FLICKERS ON FOR A SECOND BEFORE TURNING OFF. IT'S THE ABS LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE INFORMATION LIGHT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. IT WILL ALSO RESTART THE RADIO. ONCE I GET TO MY DESTINATION, MY WHOLE CAR WILL TURN OFF AS IF MY BATTERY DIED. I'VE TAKEN MY BATTERY TO BE TESTED AND IT'S FINE. WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR, IT WON'T TURN ON BUT IT WILL MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO RESTART A CONNECTION. WHEN MY CAR FINALLY TURNED ON, IT SAID I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE, I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN I DRIVE IT BUT I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY IT OFF IN ORDER TO GET A NEW CAR. I'LL NEVER GET A CAR MADE BY FORD AGAIN. *TR

THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS "STOP SAFELY NOW" AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY. NOT ABLE TO START THE CAR NOR CHARGE THE MAIN HV BATTERY. FORD SERVICE AT CERTIFIED FORD DEALER REPROGRAMMED SOME OF THE MODULES BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE HEADING TO THE INTERSTATE 95 . AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD, I THE CAR AROUND AND HEADED BACK TO MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT, MY BOYFRIEND CAME OUTSIDE AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. *TR

I HAVE A NOTIFICATION ON MY CAR THAT SAYS TRANSMISSION FAULT AND MY CAR IS DRIVING LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT HAD TO JUMPSTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CAPITOL CITY FORD LOCATED AT (8623 E WASHINGTON ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46219, (317) 898-0700). THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A WIRING HARNESS SHIFTED AND DAMAGED OTHER WIRES WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS AN TAKE OFF TODAY IT DID IT BAD IN TRAFFIC AN WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE AN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.. I TOKE IT TO SEE WHY THE LIGHT CAME ON AN IT WAS THE CODE P080D WITCH IS THE SAME AS MANY OTHER HAVE REPORTED CLUTCH MOTOR TCM I JUST HOPE THAT'S IT AN I STILL HAVE A WARRANTY ON IT..

OK SO FOR ONE, THE SCREEN (I THINK IT'S CALLED THE CLUSTER) IN BETWEEN MY ODOMETER AND MY SPEEDOMETER HAS OFFICIALLY GONE ALL THE WAY OUT. ONE DAY LAST WEEK IT STARTED TO HAVE LINES GOING THROUGH IT AND THEN ALL OF THE IMAGES WENT AWAY BUT I COULD STILL SEE A BACK LIGHT, IT JUST WASN'T TELLING ME ANY INFORMATION. IT STAYED LIKE THAT FOR TWO OR THREE DAYS AND THEN IT STARTED FLASHING LIKE A STROBE LIGHT. IT DID THAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT WENT ALL THE WAY OUT FOR LIKE A DAY AND THEN IT STARTED FLASHING AGAIN BUT IT'S OUT NOW. WELL NOW THE SCREEN IS CONNECTED TO THE RADIO IS STARTING TO DO THE SAME THING AND I DON'T HAVE TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR IT TO DO IT. SOMETIMES WHEN I CRANK MY CAR IT'S ALREADY DOING IT BUT SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR IT'LL SWITCH TO WHATEVER IT WANTS TO DO NEXT. I HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE, THAT'S JUST THE BEST I KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?? HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE? I GET MIGRAINES AND I CAN'T BE DRIVING WITH A STROBE LIGHT HAPPENING LIKE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE, YA KNOW? LIKE, THAT'S A MIGRAINE TRIGGER. THIS ISN'T COOL.. IN THE PICTURE THAT I SUBMITTED IT'S A RADIO SCREEN IN THE FIRST PHASE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO MY OTHER SCREEN ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE DATE SELECTED IS THE DATE IN WHICH OTHER SCREEN STARTED THIS WHOLE PROCESS OF WHATEVER IT DID.

WHILE DRIVING AFTER GET MY FORD FOCUS AFTER HAVING A OIL CHANGE IT STARTED TO STALL OUT VERY HOSTING TO DRIVE AT ANY SPEED. TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON TELLING ME TO SERVICE IT. I PULLED OVER BACK TO PRIORITY FORD DEALERSHIP.THE TECH CAME OUT AND TELLS ME THAT MY FORD FOCUS WAS ON A RECALL FOR MY TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER 3BLOCKS AWAY,WITH THE CAR IN THAT HORRIBLE WAY DRIVING.

THE CAR SHUTTERS WHEN GOING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I TAKE OFF THE WHOLE CAR SHUTTERS. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THIS I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS CAR MODLE AND TO REPORT IT. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOT A FIX FOR IT.

THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS SHAKING WHEN I WOULD PUSH ON THE GAS. THERE WAS A DELAY WITH EXCELERATION. I WAS DRIVING ON THE CITY STREET AND THE CAR WOULD NOT EXCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT CHANGING GEARS. I HAD TO COAST DOWN THE STREET TO MAKE IT TO SOMEWHERE I COULD PULL OVER. ONCE STOPPED THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY GEAR AND WOULD NOT DRIVE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND THE CLUTCH THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

WHEN THE OUT SIDE TEMPERATURE DROPS TO ABOUT 32 DEGREES OR LOWER THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS CAN HAPPEN FROM A PARKED SITUATION AS WELL AS WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.. IT WILL LOCK UP. HAS OCCURRED ON CITY STREETS.

SAME ISSUE WITH PREVIOUS DOOR LATCH RECALL, IT IS BROKEN AGAIN AND SINCE IT HAS ALREADY "BEEN REPAIRED" THEY WILL NOT FIX IT AGAIN. DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR WILL GET STUCK IN A LOCKED POSITION AND WILL NOT CLOSE.

THE FUEL TANKED IS DEFORMED AND THE FUEL GAUGE REFLECTS ONE-QUARTER TO ONE-HALF OF A TANK OF FUEL WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED THE FUEL TANK COULD BE REPLACED IF DEFORMED. MY FUEL TANK IS DEFORMED AND I MENTIONED THAT TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR. HE DIDN'T SEEM INTERESTED IN MY CONCERN. NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS REMAINING IN THE TANK IS A REAL PROBLEM. THE TANK IS DEFORMED AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AS PER THE RECALL.

MY FORD FOCUS 2013, HAS BEEN FIXED TWO TIMES AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING. I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WEREN'T VERY HELPFUL AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO REACH THEM. THE CAR SHUTTERS UPON ACCELERATING. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS STATED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. THIS HAS BEEN A LAWSUIT BEFORE AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE WARRANTY THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY WHEN FIXING THE FORD SHOULD APPLY THIS TIME AS WELL. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN A FORD DEALERSHIP WAITING TO GET FIXED, BUT I DO NEED THE CLEAR THAT WARRANTY WILL COVER IT SINCE THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO RELY ON MY CAR AND NOT BE WORRIED IF IT WILL START.

I COULDN'T CONTROL THE STEERING UNLESS I WAS A BODY BUILDER. I PARKED AND CALLED UBER.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET MY CAR JERKS AND THEN GETS QUIET, WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES TO GREEN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS, I TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND AFTER ABOUT 3 MINS THE CAR FINALLY MOVES BUT WHILE DRIVING ONCE AGAIN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED AND IT DOES NOT WORK, I DECIDE TO TURN AROUND IN A SMALL PARKING LOT AND TAKE IT HOME AND WHILE DOING THAT THE CAR DOESN'T REVERSE, I GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT JERKS AND JUMPS TO THE POINT WHERE I JUST HAD TO PARK IT AND CALL A RIDE.

MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC CAR. THERE IS ISSUES ACCELERATING. WHEN STOPPED I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND ITS FINE UNTIL IT SHIFTS, THEN THE CAR STALLS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN CATCHES UP. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT GOES TO SHIFT GEARS UNTIL ABOUT 35 MPH.

I HAD MY TRANSMISSION RECALL WORKED ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND EVERY TIME AFTER THAT ANYTIME I GET GAS MY CAR STALLS AND HAS ISSUES STARTING.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH IS IMPAIRED. THE DOOR APPEARS TO BE CLOSED BUT DOES NOT LATCH TO SEAL THE DOOR IN PLACE. THIS WAS RECENTLY NOTICED BY A PROFESSIONAL DETAILING SERVICE IN JANUARY 2020. IT APPEARS THIS IS THE SAME RECALL ISSUE FROM THE 2017 RECALL REGARDING LATCH/LINKAGE ISSUES.

FORD HAS SOLD A CAR TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I'VE HAD NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF FAILURES WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHERE IT WILL SUDDENLY NOT ACCELERATE, CAUSING UNDUE DANGER MY FAMILY AND MYSELF. THIS CAR SHOULD BE FULLY RECALLED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE FAILURE BY THE NHTSA TO DO SO EVEN YEARS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS KNOWN WITH THE DPS6 TRANSMISSION IS A ABSURD LACK OF SAFETY OVERSIGHT. MY WIFE AND CHILD WERE ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER DUE TO THE CAR NOT ACCELERATING PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THIS IS FAR FROM THE FIRST INSTANCE. THEY COULD HAVE EASILY DIED FROM THIS AND OTHER OCCASIONS. MY FAMILY IS SCARED TO BE IN THIS VEHICLE AFTER NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS HAPPENING. EVERY DAY YOU DO NOT DO A FULL RECALL, YOU RISK MORE LIVES BEING IN DANGER.

MY TRANSMISSION,JERKS AND STOP WHEN DRIVING,DOESNT GO UP HILLS VERY GOOD.WHEN TAKING OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHTS,IT DOESN'T WANT TO PULL OFF,IT KINDA STALL.
