2013 Ford Focus complaints

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving in a parking garage, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the engine just revved as the vehicle failed to move forward while in drive. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled backwards as she then depressed the brake pedal and attempted to shift to park however, the gear shifter failed to move. The contact waited for a few minutes and was able to shift to park and turn the vehicle off. The contact was able to restart the vehicle however, the shifter was still difficult to move to drive. After a couple more minutes the vehicle was able to shift to drive but the vehicle hesitated and jerked before the contact was able to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed of a transmission recall. The dealer informed her that the transmission module was on backorder. The vehicle was temporally repaired however, the failure recurred several days later. The contact stated that on 8/6/2021 the transmission failure reoccurred while driving on a bridge. The contact stated that the engine revved, rolled forward, and the vehicle finally engaged to resume normal driving. The dealer was notified of the failure again and the vehicle was towed to the dealer. Once again, a temporary fix was performed on the transmission. The contact stated that “Service Transmission” was displayed once she retrieved the vehicle from the dealer for the second time. The contact called the dealer

Size p215/55r16 Tire blew out on the freeway. After close inspection discovered that the blown out tire had severe tread separation. After closer inspection of the other tires on the car, I discovered another tire identical to the blown out tire also has tread separation. The tires on the vehicle have a least one year of tread on them.

The power of the car (a 2013 Ford Focus Electric) simply STOPPED within a few seconds of the warning message. A red triangle appeared on the dash with the message Stop Safely Now. I was surprised and pulled over. My safety was at risk because had I been making a left turn in traffic, I would likely NOT HAVE SURVIVED. I was on a country road and able to pull over immediately. The car lost power within seconds and would not move. After my car was towed away, I learned: This is a defect that FORD knows about; it has been confirmed in one of their technical safety bulletins (TSB 17-0045.) It ought to be a RECALL. It is a huge safety issue. The car was towed to a Ford dealership parking lot and could be inspected.

As I was driving down the road my power steering went out. I pulled over and tried to turn the car off and on and had no luck. I then got a warning that said my power steering malfunctioned. I do not know what I would have done if I were on the interstate as I had been 2 minutes earlier. I cannot believe I am alive. This is the second time something like this has happened. The other time I just had my car stall out on the interstate as I drove down it. That time it was a transmission issue.

When accelerating the vehicle pulls back to shift and then will release when going up in RPM’s. After filling car with gas and when on the break the car will stall and takes time to restart the car. Had to pay out of pocket for recall 18S32 due to initially having it looked out and Ford closed out the recall because they recalibrated but did not actually fix the issue so 2 months later I had to pay out of pocket for the recall.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled on multiple occasions. The contact indicated that during the failure there was fuel in the fuel tank. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V515000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 120,000.

When pulling out on a hill or incline the car hesitates and seems to fall on its face for a short time then it finally picks up and has power. It just feels like it only has ten percent of power. It puts myself and others at risk of being in an accident , especially when pulling out into traffic. It could cause a side impact or rear collision very easily. I have driven a streight shift all my life and never ever had a vehicle seem to stall like this . I try and wait for a very large gap in traffic to pull out. On a hill in traffic I am afraid of getting rear ended trying to get pulled out and going. This has happened several times, it is intermittent .the car has only 60,000 miles, so it isn’t worn out.

Our Ford focus is in the shop for its third transmission module problem.

On this 2013 ford focus titanium. ,the transmission would shutter and go into neutral i almost got smashed by a semi truck when my focus would not move forward it went into neutral, NY friend has a ford Fiesta and he and his girl friend was hit from behind by a large diesel truck and suffered back head and leg injuries u have kids so we would have been seriously hurt or dead anyway my car is in the ford repair and they did the tcm and since rhe clutch recall ended July 31 and my appointment was made before rhat but ford didn't have openings and I was told to come in August and now they want me to Pay for the repair I can't afford it recall should fix it anyway that is a dangerous transmission now I'm forced to leave my car there until I can save money to have it fix that's crap now I have no car and no money pandemic is making it hard

The car stalled several times while driving. After a mechanics evaluation it was determined that there was a fuel delivery problem. After further evaluation it was confirmed that the problem was a defective purge solenoid. This item was recalled by Ford. However, they did not include this vehicle (by date) in the recall. The recall lists cars made until July 2012 and this vehicle was manufactured in May of 2013. The effect of the defective purge solenoid caused damage to other components of the fuel delivery system. I am now forced to pay for the repairs out-of-pocket. For a problem that is known by (and recalled by) Ford but is excluded from the recall. NOT FAIR

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to reverse. The check transmission message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where service was denied. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was bearing slipping, grinding and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The VIN was not available.

I was driving down the road and getting ready to stop at a red light but all of a sudden my car died completely. Lost all power including electrical and mechanical. Luckily there was no one in front of me so there was no accident but I was forced to push the car out of the middle of the intersection. It still isn't working. The battery is brand new and when I charge it it charges up like it should so I definitely think it's something else on the car causing the issue. I had no warning lights on or anything.

The transmission control module (TCM) failed on my 2013 Ford Focus again. This resulted in me loosing the ability move my car while in an intersection putting my safety and other drivers safety at risk. This required me to get out of my car in an intersection to push it to the side of the road with the assistance of other drivers, further putting our safety at risk. This is not the first time this has happened (loss of driving power in an intersection), and I have had this component and other transmission related components repaired under warranty multiple times by ford dealerships. There were no check engine lights or warning lamps that indicated the problem was going to occur before the vehicle failed.

I was driving and all of a sudden my car just shut down. Completely. It has not electrical power or anything.

Was driving and had stoppedat a red light. Car died andwould not start again. Has not started since

Transmission fault service now It has a recall but for will not doing it with out me paying for it they told me 10 year or 150000 miles the last owner had it done 3 times in the last 2 years

Clutch and actuators , car only has 80,000 miles. $3500 transmission repair .

After driving my vehicle it stalls once it is stopped and I try to press the gas. This can cause a collision. This can either be the fuel system which they did have a recall on my car but the dealership decided it wasn't needed at the time. It could also be the power train. This incident has occurred multiple times since 2017.

Check engine light came on. Before I had a chance to get it checked, the engine wouldn't start after refueling until trying on the fourth time. Took the car to a parts store and the code read P1450. An October 25, 2018 recall acknowledged a problem with 2012-18 Ford Focuses with a 2.0L engine. Although this problem is clearly acknowledged with this same year, model, and engine, my VIN is allegedly not covered in the recall. Dealer will not service the car under the recall.

I had a recall for door latches to the ford focus My back passenger door automatically open while my son was sitting in his car on when I was making a left on a street Took my vehicle to Riverside ford an their technician told me they couldn't repair the door latches because the recall expired

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. The contact’s daughter stated that while driving 60 mph, the vehicle stalled with a message stating that the transmission was overheating.

Ford issued a recall on the TCM/ clutch in 2019. This recall was to fix the shuttering in shifting. My focus was repaired by a Ford dealership in 2019 in accordance to the recall. My focus is shuttering again when accelerating. The car has no warning lamp for this issue. I recently had the car in to a ford dealership for diagnostics and they confirmed that the clutch is in need of replacement again. I have contacted ford directly and they refuse to cover the cost of a new clutch. The shuttering affects proper acceleration which is a safety issue.

This is car is in low mileage. But the transmission has been not worked twice

What am I to do ? ... the price quoted for a new clutch exceeds the value of the car....

HMM...there was not an incident to report per say but the next button stated incident report. I am more or less reporting a complaint due to my 2013 Ford Focus has been at AutoNation Ford since 5/17/21 for three recalls but only one has been taken care of and according to the advisor Susan Lee on Recall # 14M02 for TCM, that once they perform the reset procedure that my car may have 50/50 chance of starting due to the dual clutch transmission causing me to replace the clutches at my expense out of pocket. This I do not understand since my car was running before I took it in for the recall. I simply was Secondly, the system haven't confirmed the other two recalls because the mechanic apparently never completed them while having my car for the past two weeks which I thought he would. I am filing this complaint for safety reason because I was advised that I could just take my car without having the TCM reset and take a chance of my car still being able to start or not and I would like to know if the repair of the recall may stop my car from starting then why should I be held responsible for a replacement of the dual clutches for my transmission?

I NEED THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP.
