The contact owns a 2014 Ford Focus. The contact stated that the driver’s side door was not closing properly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for an unknown recall repair. The dealer informed the contact that there were two other open unknown recalls on the vehicle related to the transmission control module failure and the fuel tank deformation.

When my engine light came on, I took it to about 2-3 shops and they all said it was the catalic convertor. I took it to Coliber Auto Care, they did their own diagnostic and came up with 4 codes which was for the converter, spark plugs, fuel system and the coolant fluid system. I had the coolant system fixed and they told me it's best to have the catalytic converter fixed first before I have thr rest fixed and that the engine light will still be on until I get the converter fixed. It was at the end of the day when I picked up my Ford and when I got into my car, yes I saw the engine light on and as I was driving off, a warning transmission light came on. I then took it to Pepboys to have the convertor fixed and it was them that caught the transmission problem among other issues. I took my car back to Caliber Auto about my transmission because my car was driving just fine until they started working on it. When I picked up my vehicle from Caliber Auto and as I was driving off, my car was stalling and wouldn't automatically shift gears properly. Once I made it home, I had my car towed back to Pepboys then from Pepboys to David McDavid Ford in White Settlement, TX. I do have all the paperwork, but since I'm filling this form on my phone, I have no way of uploading them right now. Once I get a feed back to my email from you, I'll then use my laptop to upload all the documents.

Just to get it out of the way, my vehicle is currently in Italy due to my work location. The car is also US spec but was transported here. Approximately 2 months ago, my rear driver door latch gave out, this causes my door to swing wide open since it is unable to latch on and lock. After having this issue, I found out that there was a recall for this already. I then took the vehicle to the nearest Ford dealership to me. They said they would email me when the part came in since they have to order it first, about a month goes by and no email so I drive there again and they say they have the part. I am then told to make a date to get the work done, roll over a few days and I get the car there and drop it off and wait. After the long 2 hours, I am informed that they replaced the 2 front door latches, then they proceed to tell me that the recall is only for the front doors and that I would have to pay out of pocket to get the rear latches done. Confused, I show them the statement from the Ford and NHTSA website that states, "OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY MAIL AND INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE ALL AFFECTED DOOR LATCHES REPLACED WITH A MORE ROBUST SERVICE PART. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE.". To this day, I am still being told that same information from them that it is not covered in that recall. I am now stuck and don't know what to do since I cannot get the work done any where else because of my location. I have tried using the Chat

Transmission failure hard to shift overhead transmission

I have a 2014 ford focus and i have had three services visits i have had the clutch replaced two shift actuators, the transmission oil seal and the transmission control module after the third service visit the car would shutter nearly every time i drove it but the symptoms were no more than just performance issues which went on for about two years. In addition the car would periodically overheat during extreme temperatures over rover 110 briefly when i would start the car but the temperature gauge would go right back down and the car wouldn't overheat. However this was most likely due to the transmission overheating because in June the car would exhibit the same symptom but more frequently but then when i was driving on june 13th the computer told me the transmission was overheating. I barely managed to get the car home however the transmission began to lose power and the transmission service light came on. I later inspected the car and noticed the breather tube had come lose on top of the transmission most likely due to shuttering. I can no longer drive the car because of the potential that i could get in an accident even though you have braking and power steering there's a potential for a hazard when making left turns if you are unable to accelerate while making a left turn due to loss of power with the transmission you could be hit by oncoming traffic. Ford refuses to replace or repair the transmission and as with numerous other consumers they use the excuse of the car bei

The vehicle suffered a transmission clutch failure. There was an extended warranty service for the transmission module but not for the transmission clutch. Other models from the same year included transmission clutch service extended warranty but not my vin#. It’s unfair that my vehicle suffered a clutch failure and it is not a required recall.

Transmission keeps failing on the car and it is currently in a ford dealership as they are refusing to acknowledge that there's a recall on it and that it should be covered. This is the 2nd or third time time that I had issues with the transmission itself not including other constant issues with the car itself.

Vehicle was left with Midwest Superstore in Hutchinson, Kansas July 2020 for multiple fuel related and transmission related problems. Dealer replaced purge valve (recall), did not inspect fuel tank. Also a transmission test was done and all above failure levels. Picked up the car with a dead battery, broken fuel gauge, and still stalled regularly with less than half tank fuel. Did not have spare vehicle, dealt with for entire year. Transmission frequently shutters or locks up. Vehicle frequently stalls in traffic or after fuel addition. Finally was able to get it back to dealer (a year later). They note that indeed the fuel tank is crushed (purge valve recall) and will require a tank and pump assembly. Dealership states that Ford will not honor replacement of these components even though the recall was never adequately performed the previous year. The only thing that can make the fuel tank crush is the defective purge valve they replaced.

Jan.26th 2018 I purchased a 2014 Ford Focus SE from Pacifico Ford. I was told by salesman No Recalls and No safety Issues. The car was on the lot with new inspection stickers. I was given a clean car fax. I was deceived. The car was returned the next day for driving improperly. It gave too much gas or not enough, was shuddering and sticking, steering issues, drifted to the right, and steering wheel had to be crooked to park to adjust the wheels, and car had a burn smell. Ford found transmission problem, engine leaking oil, clutch problem, cpu issues, failed road test and leaky seals. A week later, I was told all was fixed as new. April 23rd 2018 the car malfunctioned disabling me for life. While I was parking, the car accelerated forward, slammed into a barrier, roared up in the air, slammed down a slope and into a tree. Malfunction codes from an auto collision center were it was towed were achieved, one of which is an acceleration malfunction code. No air bags deployed, no warning. I found out after the malfunction there were many safety issues and recalls that I was not told of day of sale. Ford, a once trusted company, disabled me for life.

While operating the vehicle I lost all power steering. This nearly caused an accident as I was driving in city traffic at the time. Upon taking it to a dealership I was informed it was a $1500 repair caused by the electrical system. My vehicle was purchased new and has less than 54,000 miles

I was noticing hesitation on my way to work when the traffic light turned green, I'd press the gas pedal and the car wouldn't move. I'd give it more gas then it would jerk into moving forward. While accelerating as the car would automatically switch gears the car would hesitate as if it weren't taking fuel then jerk into gear to keep moving normally. Once at work I was able to park the car and look at the engine and noticed nothing out of the ordinary. At about noon that day I got into the car to leave for lunch only to realize that I could no longer go into reverse. I would move the shifter from park to reverse then press the gas pedal to begin moving only to seem like I'm still stuck in park. I was able to put the car in Drive however I was in a parking spot facing a building and would not be able to exit only utilizing Drive. I was able to switch the car into neutral and push the car out of the parking spot by hand then drive off with there still being hesitation when the gears switched. I theorize that there may be an issue with the Power Train Control Module within the vehicle not allowing the clutch to shift effectively and a possible imbalance of fuel to air intake.

STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2020, EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY 2014 FORD FOCUS FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP, MY CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE OCCASIONALLY. ALTHOUGH I WAS CONCERNED, I DID NOT WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT ONLY DID IT ONCE IN A WHILE. FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, THE VIBRATIONS KEPT GETTING WORSE. NOW INSTEAD OF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT WOULD HAPPEN EVERY-TIME I ACCELERATED AFTER A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS WAS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THERE WAS MORE PEOPLE IN THE CAR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS A SHUDDER.

THE 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE VEHICLES I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. FROM THE CONSTANT SHUDDERING AND HESITATING TO THE CONSISTENT REPAIRS THIS CAR HAS TO HAVE. I WAS MERGING ONTO 380 IN MONROE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA FROM THE TANNERSVILLE EXIT WHEN MY CAR HESITATED TO SPEED UP. I WAS GOING 40 WHEN I WAS TRYING TO SPEED UP TO AT LEAST 60, I HELD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND MY CAR DID NOT PICK UP SPEED, IT DIDN'T GAIN SPEED, IT ACTUALLY DROPPED DOWN TO 35MPH. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS MY CAR THEN PICKED UP SPEED AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GO 60MPH +. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CLUTCHES DO NOT LAST LONG AND CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE REPAIRED, FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY IS A JOKE, I HAVE A 2014 AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONLY AT 53,XXX MILES, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SEVEN YEARS I AM OUT OF LUCK WHEN IT COMES TO REPAIRS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $1,500 + EVERY COUPLE THOUSAND MILES WHEN THESE CLUTCHES GO. THE POWER SHIFT DCT WAS HORRIBLY MANUFACTURED AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR WILL BE THE CAUSE OF MY DEATH SOMEDAY. I'M HOPING FORD CAN EITHER BUY BACK MY VEHICLE OR THE WHOLE CAR WILL BE RECALLED, IT SHOULD BE HONESTLY.

MY 2014 DOESN'T HAVE ALL THOSE FANCY SAFETY FEATURES LISTED BUT MY HORN DOESN'T WORK. I NEVER OWNED A VEHICLE THAT THE HORN HAS JUST STOPPED WORKING. I THOUGHT IT WAS A BLOWN FUSE BUT TURNS OUT IT'S ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE CAR ON TOP OF THE PREVIOUS RECALLS IT HAS HAD. I CAN'T EVEN RENEW MY CAR REGISTRATION UNTIL THIS IS FIXED AND IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. I CAN'T EVEN WARN DRIVERS WHEN THEY ARE ABOUT TO CRASH INTO ME ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD WANTS TO CHARGE AN OVER THE TOP PRICE TO LOOK AND FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WILL EVEN BE COMPLETELY FIXED SEEING AS ANOTHER FORD FOCUS OWNER I MET IN PERSON AND WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE HAVE ALSO HAS ISSUES WITH THEIR HORN NOT WORKING ANYMORE. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL WITH FORD.

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD . I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SO I STOPPED GOT OUT AND MY BOYFRIEND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TURNED AROUND AND DROVE IT BACK THE SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOME WHERE IT HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE THAT DAY. I WROTE A LETTER TO FORD ASKING FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE CAR REPAIRED ARE REPURCHASE IT FROM ME THEY REPLIED STATING THAT THEY UNDERSTOOD BUT COULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.

TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER

FORD SOLD ME A LEMON, A 2014 FOCUS IT HAS 97960 MIKE'S ON IT AND IN 5 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THE TRANSMISSION 16 TIMES! AN EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERED THE TRANSMISSION UP TO 96,000 MI BUT NOW IT'S COMPLETELY SCREWED UP AND DOES WON'T FIX IT I WOULD LIKE THEM TO BUYBACK MY POA

SINCE I PURCHASED MY DAUGHTER A USED CERTIFIED FORD FOCUS FROM THE DEALERSHIP I'VE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SHIFTING PROPERLY. THE WORST CASE IS WHEN AT HIGH SPEED (60 MPH OR MORE) THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN GOES INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR CAUSING A TREMENDOUS JERK THAT ALMOST CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. JUST YESTERDAY (14MAR21) I WAS DRIVING THRU A CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON I10 THRU THE TOWN OF BENSON ARIZONA AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH WHEN THE TREMENDOUS JERK HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE RPM SHOOTING UP TO 6,000 ON MY TACHOMETER FOR 5 TO 7 SECONDS. THE NORMAL RPM AT A STEADY SPEED OF 60 SHOULD BE 2,200 RPM. THE TRACTOR TRAILER RIG DRIVING BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO MY FORD FOCUS, BUT LUCKILY THE DRIVER HAD HIS EYES ON WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AT THE NEXT EXIT, DROVE ONTO A TWO LANE COUNTRY ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO REPEAT THE DOWNSHIFT PROBLEM FIVE TIMES, BUT AT THE REDUCED SPEED OF 40 MPH. THE JERK WAS STILL THERE BUT NOT AS HARSH OR UNCONTROLLING AS AT 60 MPH. THE NORMAL RPM AT 40 WHEN ACCELERATING SHOULD BE 2400 RPM, BUT AT THE TIME OF THE DOWNSHIFT PROBLEM IT SHOT UP TO 4500 RPM. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP REPAIR FACILITY NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2020 AND STILL IS NOT FIXED. IT IS THERE AS I AM TYPING THIS REPORT. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE FORD FOCUS CARS HAVING ANY KIND OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, OR ANY INFORMATION REGARDING A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO THE FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION. MY HIGHES
