2013 Ford Focus complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE STEERING WHEEL CEASED WITH THE POWER TRAIN ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON BUT FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO REST FOR AN HOUR TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATION 82,000.

I STARTED THE CAR AND WHILE IT WAS STILL IN PARK, COMPLETELY UNMOVING, AN ALERT CAME UP ON THE SCREEN SAYING 'STEERING FAULT SERVICE NOW' AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS COMPLETELY UNABLE TO MOVE.

IVE CALLED NOT ONE BUT TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY KEEP SAYING THEY CAN ONLY FIX THE DOORS ON MY CAR BUT THE FUEL HAS HAD A RECALL ON IT FOR JUST AS LONG I CAN NOT CONTINUE TO BE AFRAID TO PUT MY 4 MONTH OLD SON IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FIX OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE MY VEHICLE CONTINUOUSLY CUTS OFF AT RANDOM TIMES ANYWHERE EVEN GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I ALWAYS KEEP IT ABOVE HALF A TANK AND IT STILL CUTS OFF IM PUTTING MY HOLE FAMILY AT RISK DUE TO A ISSUE FORD REFUSES TO FIX AND I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET A NEWER CAR OR EVEN A DIFFERENT CAR. I ALSO CAN NOT DRIVE A RENTAL WHILE IT SITS AT A SHOP FOR MONTHS. IT CUTS OFF TAKING OFF SLOWING DOWN AND EVEN RUNNING AT SPEED.

I HAVE OWN A 2013 FORD FOCUS AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT SEAMS THE CAR REVS UP BUT DOESN'T GO ANY FASTER. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT I MIGHT GET REAR-ENDED WHEN I'M SWITCHING LANES ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR ALSO SWITCHES GEARS A LITTLE ROUGH. SOMETHING DEFINITELY FEELS OFF ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION.

MY POWER STEERING SEIZED AND WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY CHILD. WE ARE SO LUCKY THAT WE DID NOT CRASH AND DIE! I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2013 FORD FOCUS! I JUST WANTED A SAFE CAR FOR MY CHILD AND I. EVEN AFTER I FIX IT AND PAY OVER $2000.00 I WILL NEVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AGAIN! HOW CAN FORD BE OK WITH THIS. THE CAR ITSELF SHOULD BE RECALLED! POWER STEERING, TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT, BRAKE LINES FAILING, RADIO HAS GONE OUT, SYNC NEVER WORKED, DOOR LATCHES FAILED, NOW I AM TOLD MY GAS TANK IS RECALLED! UGGGG!

MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND I HAD TO PAY $6000.00 TO GET IT FIXED! YET AGAIN ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS 2013 FORD FOCUS! I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!

POWER STEERING WENT OUT. ALERT FOR POWER STEERING. THE RACK AND PINION HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT AT THIS TIME. WAS TOLD BY REPAIR SHOP THAT THIS WAS LOW MILEAGE FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR. CAR IS DRIVEN MAINLY ON HIGHWAY. CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED. BOUGHT VEHICLE TWO YEARS AGO. IT WAS A ONE OWNER CAR THAT ONLY HAD 29,000 MILES. I AM 50 YEARS OLD AND A RELIABLE DRIVER. THIS CAR HAS HAD TO HAVE A CLUTCH REPLACED AND STEERING REPLACED IN TWO YEARS. THE CARS STEERING WENT OUT DURING A STOP. WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP WITH HARD STEERING.

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL GO ERRATIC FOR ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. WHEN THE WIPERS FINALLY TURN OFF THEY WONT COME BACK. CURRENTLY THE WIPERS WILL NOT WORK AT ALL AFTER THIS LAST INCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STOPS AUTOMATICALLY AND THE CAR DOESN'T TURN ON FOR WHILE,THEN AFTER TWO HOURS IT TURNS ON AND I DRIVE IT FOR ANOTHER FIVE DAYS AND THAT HAPPENS AGAIN ALMOST AN IN CRASH OR I WAS VERY LUCKY FOR A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AND I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO SEND MY CAR HOME AND SINCE THEN IS UNDRIVABLE WHICH IS PARKED IN MY HOUSE

VERY HARD SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS WHEN FIRST STARTING TO DRIVE. AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP AND DRIVEN FOR A TIME. THERE IS A SHUDDERING IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. THE HARD SHUDDERING MAKES IT SEEM LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL.

2013 FOCUS HATCH WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 69K MILES, CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 100K. GREAT VEHICLE, VERY HAPPY WITH IT FOR THE MOST PART. HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES SINCE PURCHASE. FORD RECALL NUMBER 16C13 FOR THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE BODY CONTROL MODULE TO REQUIRE 2 PRESSES OF THE TRUNK RELEASE TO OPEN THE HATCH ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES HAS BEEN REPORTED AS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2017. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE STILL ONLY REQUIRES ONE PRESS OF THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE HATCH. SOMETHING THAT I HAVE DONE INADVERTENTLY SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE FOG LAMPS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT REPORTEDLY COMPLETED THE RECALL (SIOUX FALLS FORD LINCOLN, SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA), AND FORD. BOTH OF WHOM TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT WITHOUT BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN AND PAYING FOR A SERVICE. I REPLACED THE BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT. NOT SURE IF THE BODY CONTROL MODULE LOST THE PROGRAMMING, OR IF THE RECALL WAS NEVER COMPLETED. AT ANY RATE IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE, HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY ISSUES WITH THE HATCH COMING OPEN WHILE DRIVING, ONLY UNLATCHING. I HAVE NOT LOOKED ANY FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE THAN THIS, JUST WANTED TO PUT MY EXPERIENCE OUT THERE.

VEHICLE HAS KNOWN ISSUES THRU FORD. JUST HAD CLUTCH ASSEMBLY REPLACED WAS DRIVING CAR MONDAY IT STARTED SHIFTING ERRATICALLY MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS IN CAR IT LURCHED SHUDDERS. AT FORD DEALER SAID IT IS SOME SORT OF TRANSMISSION FORK 1900.00 TO FIX VEHICLE HAS RECALLS BUT FORD WON'T HONOR THE TRANSMISSION BY CERTAIN DEALERS

I'M JUST HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILED. THE FOLLOWING FORD ERROR OR FAULT CODES WERE IDENTIFIED: U3000:49-48 AND U3000:53-C8. FORD DEALERSHIP ADVISED REPLACEMENT COST WOULD BE APPROX. $2,600. VEHICLE IS A 2013 FORD FOCUS EV WITH APPROX. 60K MILES. BASED ON REPORTS READ ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND OTHER NOTABLE RESOURCES FORD HAS HAD ISSUES WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IN SEVERAL MODELS. THOUGH THIS SPECIFIC MODEL AND YEAR ARE NOT IDENTIFIED IN A RECALL, THE ELECTRIC STEERING FAILURE AND ACCOMPANYING CODES FIT THE BILL WITH ISSUES COVERED IN A RECALL. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURRED THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON DOWNTOWN CITY STREETS, TRAVELING AT AN APPROX. SPEED OF 25 TO 30 MPH WHEN THE ELECTRIC STEERING FAILED. THIS EVENT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER OFF TO ONE DIRECTION AND STRIKE A CURB WHILE AT THE SAME TIME I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES TO STOP OR SLOW THE VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE NEVER REGAINED ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CONTROL.

AT 9:30PM ON MAY 12TH 2016 I WAS DRIVING ON I-5 THROUGH DOWNTOWN SEATTLE GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES AN HOUR IN THE FAR LEFT LANE, WHEN THE GAS PEDAL DROPPED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND I COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I HAD TO CHANGE ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STEADILY LOSING POWER TO EXIT AT MERCER ST. FROM THERE I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON WESTLAKE AVE WHERE A TOW TRUCK PICKED ME UP. FOLLOWING THAT EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO HAVE THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION REPACKED 5 TIMES!!! EACH TIME WHEN THE CLUTCH IS STARTING TO FAIL, IT SHUDDERS, SHAKES AND LOSES POWER. I AM AFRAID OF IT LOSING POWER IN A INTERSECTION AND BEING T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE (THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS OF THESE CARS). FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS, HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY AND HERE I AND ABOUT 4 MILLION OTHER CUSTOMERS ARE LEFT WITH LEMONS! HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY TRANSMISSION/CLUTCHES FROM 2011-2016 FIESTA/FOCUSES, ALL I WANT IS A DEPENDABLE CAR THAT WILL LAST MORE THAN 4 YEARS AND 68,000 MILES.

DPS6 CLUTCH WAS REPAIRED/REPLACED AT 85,000 MILES DUE TO SEVERE SHUDDERING AND DANGEROUS DRIVING PERFORMANCE. SEVERE SHUDDERING RETURNED AT 98,000 MILES AND WAS NOT SCHEDULED FOR SERVICE UNTIL AFTER 100,000 MILES - FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND DEALER NOW REFUSES TO REPAIR THE DANGEROUS AND FAULTY DPS6 CLUTCH ASSEMBLY ON MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND, SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY, OCCASIONALLY LOSING POWER OR ACCELERATING SUDDENLY. HAS ALSO LED TO ENGINE STALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC. FORD REFUSES TO FIX MY CAR.

EL VEHCULO EMPESO A JOLONEARSE EN CARRETERA Y FUE PERDIENDO LA FUERZA Y A OTRO DA YA NO AGARRO LA REVERSA Y PARA ENFRENTE VELOSIDAD QUE AGARRABA ERA A 5

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING ,ROWS BACKWARDS ON A INCLINE,TRY TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC WILL NOT MOVE FAST ENOUGH VERY DANGERS ,CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID IT WOULD BE COVERED ONCE I TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP I WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTIC THEN WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME $1600 TO FIX ,DID NOT HAVE IT FIX SETTING AT HOME IN GARAGE

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT. THE MECHANIC STATES THAT IT IS A MALFUNCTION INVOLVING THE PURGE VALVE AND FUEL PUMP. DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION, THE O2 SENSOR AND FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACED AND THE PCM NEEDS REPROGRAMMED. THE MECHANIC STATES THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL 18S32 AND 19S22 BUT FORD IS SAYING THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. WHY???

THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN IT STARTS. SEAMS LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S VERY TROUBLESOME IN THE SIGNAL LIGHT IN THE HIGHWAY.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP REPEATEDLY EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2012 CAR NOT ACCELERATING WHEN IT SHOULD. IT HESITATES AND SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY WHEN TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I MUST HAVE A NEW CLUTCH SYSTEM PUT IN A TRANSMISSION AT MY EXPENSE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COOL IT WILL SHIFT GOOD BUT AS IT IS DRIVEN MORE, THE WORSE IT GETS AT SHIFTING.

VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. RPM'S ROSE BUT CAR WOULDN'T GO. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ENTERING AN INTERSECTION WITH CROSS TRAFFIC! THIS COULD GET SOMEONE KILLED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 78,000 MILES AND HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP AT LEAST ONE OTHER TIME AT AROUND 53,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS FIXED THEN. HERE WE ARE 25,000 MILES LATER AND IT'S OUT AGAIN!

I OWN A 2013 FORD FOCUS THAT IS EXPERIENCING DOOR LATCH FAILURES. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THEIR IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FORD FOCUS DOOR LATCHES BUT BASED THE VIN FOR MY VEHICLE MY VEHICLE IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED. (SAFETY RECALL 16S30) THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LATCH. THE LATCH OPENED BUT THEN WOULD NO LONGER ENGAGE TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. I TRIED TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY BUT THEY JUST STATE THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT COVERED.

WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE MY CAR LEAPED FORWARD AND I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO PREVENT ME FROM REAR ENDING ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CAR THEN STARTLING STUTTERING FROM THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE CAR DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED, LOST POWER, AND THE CLUTCH SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RUSS MILNE FORD (24777 HALL RD, MACOMB, MI 48042, (586) 948-7700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR THE POWER TRAIN HAD EXPIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 119,050.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPPED POSITIONS LIKE WAITING TO TURN, THE CAR WILL HESITATE BADLY WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF VERY FAST. THIS OCCURS ON LEVEL AS WELL AS UNLEVEL GROUND. WE HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN 2 YEARS AND CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN DRIVE WHEN TURNING ALL THE TIME. IT ALSO OCCCCURS WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO SPEED UP TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR GET AHEAD OF ONE. WHEN THE CAR IS ON AN ANGLE THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ UP TO 30 MILES ON THE TANK BUT WILL STOP AS THE FUEL SENSOR DOES NOT SHOW THE CAR HAS GAS IN IT. WE HAVE HAD THE FUEL GAUGE CHANGED 2 TIMES IN A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THIS OCCURS WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THIS OCCURS EVERY DAT THAT WE HAVE HAD THE CAR.

PURCHASED CAR NEW AND FROM DAY ONE IT WAS EVIDENT THERE WE'RE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HAD BACK TO THE DEAL SEVERAL TIMES THE SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION BUT IT DID NOT HELP, MAYBE EVEN MADE IT WORSE? WHEN DRIVING OR PULLING OUT THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND SHUTTER VERY BAD. THIS WAS A CONSTANT ISSUE FROM THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF OF THE SALES LOT.

MY 2013 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS DURING TAKE OFF AND SLIPS GEARS EVERY SO OFTEN, USUALLY WHEN LAUNCHING FROM A FULL STOP OR WHEN DRIVING IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS.

THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION. IT SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS WITH NO FIX IN PLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEBB FORD (219-924-3400, LOCATED AT 9809 INDIANAPOLIS BLVD, HIGHLAND, IN 46322), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK LATER. A WEEK LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE IT WAS WAITING TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I'VE HAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. TWO DAYS AGO THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON - IT WAS STUCK IN THE GARAGE AT THIS TIME. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO REVERSE AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF A FEW HOURS LATER. YESTERDAY THE CAR, AGAIN, WOULD NOT REVERSE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. THIS TIME IT WAS STUCK IN A PARKING LOT. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS, SOME OF WHICH LEAD TO THE CAR NOT STARTING AT ALL, THE CAR FINALLY TURNED ON, AND REVERSED AFTER ROUGHLY HALF AN HOUR. THIS MORNING I TOOK THE CAR TO WEBB FORD IN HIGHLAND, IN FOR REPAIRS AS THE TRANSMISSION HAS A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY ARE BACKED UP FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND WOULD NOT EVEN LET ME LEAVE MY CAR. THE NEST CLOSEST DEALER IN CALUMET CITY, IL IS NOT TAKING TRANSMISSION WORK AT ALL. NOW, AFTER LEAVING WORK, MY CAR WILL NOT GO OVER 15MPH WITHOUT JERKING AND CHUGGING AND IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE NO WAY TO GET THE TRANSMISSION FIXED EVEN THOUGH IT'S UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE NO ONE WILL TAKE MY CAR.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING ERROR "STEERING ASSIST FAULT". THE CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING AND IS UNDRIVABLE. TURNED CAR ON AND OFF TRYING TO RESET IT BUT IT WILL NOT RESET. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY LOCATED IN A PARKING LOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN, SHOOK, AND STALLED. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,025.

WHEN DRIVING CAR AND COME TO A STOP, IT SPLITTERS WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN FUEL GETS LOWER THAN HALF OF A TANK, THE CAR LOSES POWER, SPUTTERS AND ENGINE MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN DRIVING UPHILL OR FROM STOPPED POSITION.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,142.

COUNTRY FORD STATED THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. I CALLED THEM THE SAME DAY THAT THE ISSUE WAS STILL ON GOING. THEY STATED THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RESET OF THE COMPUTER. I'M VERY CONCERN THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIX BECAUSE THE NEEDED PART WASN'T AVAILABLE AT THE TIME. THE CAR STILL STALLS WHEN IT'S AT HALF A TANK AND COMPLETELY STALLS WHEN IT'S AT A QUARTER TANK. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAYS OR IN A BUSY CITY. I AM CONCERN WITH WITH MY HEALTH AND LIFE IT SUDDENLY SHOTS OFF ON A BUSY ROAD.

CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. WHILE IN DRIVE, WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE AT A RED LIGHT A ERROR CODE FLASHED ON DASH " TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" AND THEN IT SHUT OFF. CAR STALLED 4 MORE TIMES IN A MATTER OF A HOUR, TWICE WHILE IN PARK AND CAR WAS JUST RUNNING. LAST TIME AT A RED LIGHT IN DRIVE . TOOK 30-40 SECONDS TO RESTART CAR, VERY UNSAFE.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR IT STUDDERS AND SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE MY PROBLEM WAS ENTERED.

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALLS AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT. IT HAS CLUTCH ISSUES THAT LEAVES ME STALLED STUCK IN GEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. IT HAS LEFT ME STUCK IN MY GARAGE AND NOT BEING ABLE TO GO IN REVERSE FOR DAYS AT A TIME.

THE CARS TRANSMISSION WILL SHUDDER AND HESITATE FROM A STOPPED CONDITION. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED 2 TIMES AND ABOUT TO TAKE IT IN FOR A 3RD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION
