2014 Ford Focus complaints

I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED BECAUSE IT SHUDDERS, JERKS AND HESITATES EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX THE RECALL OR WARRANTY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC WASN'T SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME BUT NOW I'M TOLD THIS IS THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE MILEAGE IS AT 119,000 MILES AND IT EXCEEDED THE 100,000 MILES FOR THE WARRANTY. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IT WAS UNDER 100,000. I THINK I'M BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE FORD NEW OF THESE PROBLEMS AND I DON'T BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A TIME OR MILEAGE LIMIT. THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF EXCELERATING, IT JERKS WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO PULL OFF AND SHUDDERS WHILE IN MOTION.

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING.

THE HORN IN THE CAR SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES DOESNT, THE TRUNK DOES NOT OPEN UNLESS FROM INSIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUED DRIVING TO HER DESTINATION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE RPM WENT UP HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER WENDLE FORD LOCATED AT 9000 N DIVISION ST, SPOKANE, WA 99218, (509) 484-4800 AND MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V005000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,863.

1. CLUTCH SLIPS IN TRANSMISSION CAUSING VEHICLE TO STALL OR REACH DANGEROUS RPM'S BEFORE SWITCHING INTO ANOTHER GEAR. 2. REPAIR WAS DENIED BY FORD STATING THAT IT WASN'T RELATED TO THE CURRENT RECALL BUT WAS THE CLUTCHES THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CLUTCHES ARE GOING OUT DUE TO THE TCM THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE VEHICLE. 3. HORN HAS DECIDED TO STOP WORKING ALONG WITH CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. FUSES HAVE BEEN CHANGED ENSURING THAT IT IS A WIRING ISSUE. 4. HAZARD LIGHTS AS WELL AS HALF THE BUTTONS ON THE DASH INCLUDING RADIO, ETC. HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO STOP WORKING DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE. NO HAZARDS MAKING IT A RISK AND UNSAFE TO PULL VEHICLE OFF OF ROAD IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. 5. FORD DEALERSHIP THAT CAR WAS TAKEN TO STATED ALL RECALLS WERE COMPLETED BUT WHEN VIN IS ENTERED THROUGH FORDS WEBSITE IT STATES THAT ALL RECALLS ARE INCOMPLETE. FORD SENT ME A NOTICE FOR REPAIRS ON TRANSMISSION STATING IT WILL BE ALMOST $1400 TO REPLACE CLUTCHES IN TRANSMISSION. THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE CLUTCHES IF THERE WAS NEVER ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE TO BEGIN WITH. REPAIRING THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE ON THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES AND FORD SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THE REPAIRS TO AN ISSUE THAT WAS THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO CORRECT FROM THE BEGINNING AND WAS NOT CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

I BOUGHT MY SON A 2014 FORD FOCUS TWO YEARS AGO IT WAS A REBUILT/SALVAGED TITLE THAT HAD BEEN FULLY REPAIRED. IT WAS A NICE CAR AND IS. I TOOK IT TO ROCKWALL FORD FOR RECALLS DOOR LATCH AND TRANSMISSION CLUTCH ISSUE. THEY WERE NICE AND SAID THERE IS NO NEED TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH UNTIL IT STARTS ACTING UP. BUT WE ARE GIVING YOU 100K PLUS MILES EXTENDED WARRANTY. FAST FORWARD TWO YEARS MY SON IS DRIVEN THE CALL 20K PLUS MILES AND NOW IN TUCSON AZ ATTENDING COLLEGE AND TUTTLE FORD IN TUCSON, AZ SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE CAR HAS A SALVAGED TITLE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT, THE SALVAGE TITLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A CLUTCH RECALL. HE SAID THE OTHER DAY HE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DID NOT WANT TO GO.

HAS ANYONE HAD ANY ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING? I HAVE A 2014 TITANIUM AND FOR THE LAST MONTH OR SO I'VE NOTICED MY POWER STEERING TAKING A COUPLE SECONDS LONGER TO KICK IN WHEN I START MY CAR. LAST WEEK, AN ALERT CAME ON STATING 'POWER STEERING ASSIST MALFUNCTION'. I TOOK IT INTO A FORD DEALER TO GET LOOKED AT, AND THEY SAID THE CODE THAT CAME UP FOR THEM SHOWED A POWER STEERING MODULE/POWER STEERING GEAR ISSUE. THE WHOLE THING NEEDS REPLACED. I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE ALERT CAME ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WITHOUT VIBRATING ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V331000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRIECO FORD OF DELRAY BEACH LOCATED AT 3000 S FEDERAL HWY, DELRAY BEACH, FL 33483, WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR ONLY COVERED A PART OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 98,000.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS A AUTOMATIC CLUTCH PROBLEM. IT WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO BY THE DEALERSHIP AND IS NOW HAVING SAME ISSUES ONLY WORSE. AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR WON'T GO FASTER AS I'M PASSING A CAR AND WHEN I STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IT JUMPS AS I GO. UNSAFE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING.

MY CAR JERKS WHEN I STOP AND START. HAD SPARKS PLUGS REPLACED BECSUSE I THOUGHT THEY WERE DAY. IT WILL NOT BACK UP WHEN ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN GOING UP HILLS IT SEEM TO HESITATE ON SWITCH GEARS. CAR CUTS OF AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING AND HAD TO GET COOLANT AND HEATER HOSE REPLACED. WHEN ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START.

MY CAR HESITATE AND JERKS WHEN ADVANCING FROM A STOP. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN I'M ON THE HIGHWAY. MY CAR AT TIMES DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED I HAVE TO PRESS DOWN MORE THAN USUAL TO GET UP TO SPEED.I HAD MY FUEL PUMP REPLACE BECAUSE THE INDICATOR DETECTED AN ISSUE, WASN'T AWARE THAT THIS WAS A RECALL.

REPLACED TRANSMISSION DUE TO RECALL. THEN THEIR WAS A RECALL ON THE RECALL. TOOK CAR BACK STATING THE CAR STILL SHUTTERS AND STUTTERS. SUPV STATED YOU NEED TO DRIVE 2000 MILES IT WILL RESET. WELL HERE IT IS SEPTEMBER.2020 CAR IS STILL STUTTERING AND SHUTTERING WHEN COMING FROM STOP TO ACCELERATION CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT FROM CAR BEHIND. WHAT CAN I DO. THEY BRUSH ME OFF EVERY TIME I TELL THEM THIS . WHEN THIS HAPPENS I GET A WARNING SMOOTH DRIVING SAVES FUEL NUMEROUS TIMES AND WILL APPEAR AS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND IT'S A SMOOTH ROAD. CAR WILL DECREASE SPEED.

THE CAR STALLED OUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND LOW COOLANT LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE CONTACT TRIED A SECOND TIME AND THE VEHICLE STARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. NO DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V813000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AND 13V523000 (POWER TRAIN) AS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE FAILURES HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED. VEHICLE WILL "STALL" WHILE IN MOTION OR WHILE POWERED ON BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE. IT'S AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE SO THE CAUSE OF THE STALL IS UNCLEAR. VEHICLE WILL BE INOPERABLE FOR 1-10 MINUTES, INCLUDING POWER STEERING WHILE THE SYSTEM RESETS. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHILE STOPPED - IN REVERSE, CLIMBING HILLS, STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" IN OCTOBER 2019 AND WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMETHING DOING WHILE ADDRESSING ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL RECALLS HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM. NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AND FORD CAN'T TELL US WHY. WE'VE BEEN STRANDED PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY IN THE PATH OF ON COMING TRAFFIC, BLOCKING ONE LANE ROADS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND AT INTERSECTIONS.

I HAVE A FORD FOCUS 2014.3RECALLS.1ST RECALL TRANSMITION,FOR THE LONGEST TIME FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX.FINALLY I CONTACTED THE NHTSA THEN TOLD FORD WHAT I DID THEY FINALLY FIXED IT BUT I DON'T THINK THEY DID A GOOD JOB. 2ND RECALL FUEL SYSTEM,I RECEIVED A RECALL ABOUT CPV THAT MIGHT STICK OPEN.THAT WOULD CAUSE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON,INACCURATE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE, INACCURATE DISTANCE TO EMPTY, ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING THAT COULD CAUSE A CRASH. MY CAR HAS ALL THESE SYMPTOM ,TOOK IT BY THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED THEY SAID FORD WOULD NOT FIX THE DEFECTS. BECAUSE SPECIAL CODES DIDN'T COME UP. SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME. FORD DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THEIR RECALLS !!!

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. THE CAR HAS 143,000 MILES ON IT AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT FORD HAS GIVEN ONLY GOES TO 100,000 MILES. FORD WILL NOT FIX MY CARS TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING AND JERKING PROBLEMS. WHEN YOU GO FROM A STOP TO PUSHING THE GAS, THE CAR JERKS AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE CAR WHILE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRIES TO SHIFT GEARS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL DUE TO THE FAULTY CLUTCH AND ACTUATORS.

LOSS POWER AND DOES NOT DRIVE E. TRANSMISSION WILL NOW GO. ACTS LICK IT IS OUT OF GEAR

I PURCHASED MY FORD FOCUS 2014 WITH 40,000 MILES FOR $17,000, MID YEAR OF 2017. THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY BEFORE ITS FIRST RECALL IN DECEMBER OF 2018. EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BROKEN DOWN AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD FOUR RECALL REPAIRS SINCE THE PURCHASE, I BELIEVE THE RECALLS ARE THE REASON IT NEEDS SO MANY ADDITIONAL OTHER REPAIRS. BESIDES THE CAR ITSELF I HAVE SPENT OVER $35,000 ON ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. I HAVE PAID FORD, MURRAY'S AUTO / ACIMA, ALL 4 U AUTO, FIRESTONE AND BEST TIRES FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE RECALLS AND OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES WITH THE CAR, MANY OF THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCING WAY MORE TROUBLESOME ACTIVITY WITH THE CARS WITH THE RECALL THAN WHAT IS STATED IN THE MAIL LETTER. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A SETTLEMENT REIMBURSEMENT OF A NEW CAR DUE MY UNSATISFIED EXPERIENCE WITH MY CAR. I WILL ATTACH ALL MY PAID AND ONGOING DEBT RECEIPTS FOR MY CAR'S MAINTENANCE. AFTER ONE OF MY RECALLS IN 2018 THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME IN EVEN WORST CONDITION, WITH ENGINE FAILURE AT THE WAKE FOREST NC LOCATION. I RECEIVED A DIAGNOSIS AT THE CARY CROSSROADS, NC LOCATION THAT SAID THE CAR WOULD NEED A $10,000 NEW ENGINE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNFAIR BECAUSE I HAD NOT HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS BEFORE THE RECALL, AND RESEARCHING ONLINE MANY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER AGREED THAT THE SPECIFIC RECALL WAS CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE, AND MY ADVISOR AGREED THAT THE RECALL FAULT PART AND ENGINE COULD HAVE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED ONE ANOTHER ALTHOUGH REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I CALLED FORD

WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVEL FOUR LANE ROAD (AT 45MPH), THE CAR SHOOK AND TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING BADLY. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ONLY GOT 4 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AFTERWARDS AND IT SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD US THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT SINCE IT WAS COVERED UNDER FORDS 150.000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT AFTER REPLACING THAT THEY DONE MORE TESTS ON THE CAR WHEN THEY SAID THE WHOLE TRANNY ALSO HAD TO BE REBUILT. FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES ON THE PARTS IN MY TRANNY BUT MINE HAD 13,000 MILES TOO MANY TO QUALIFY FOR BE COVERED. SO NOW I'M STUCK PAYING $2500 PLUS TAXES!!! I PAID $6,000 FOR THE CAR AND 1 WEEK LATER, I HAVE TO PAY ALMOST ANOTHER $3000. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FORD LOVER BUT NOT AFTER THIS. I'M DONE!

I STARTED MY CAR AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. TWO MINUTES AFTER DRIVING I WAS GOING 25 MPH ON A TOWN STREET AND MY TRANSMISSION FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. I LOST POWER AND CONTROL OF THE CAR, ALMOST GETTING HIT BY A LARGE TRUCK.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK HAS HAD CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO THE DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SINCE I BOUGH THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY 2015. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR LURCHES MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY CAR ACCIDENTS AND TERRIFIES ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE.THE LURCHING HAS ALSO LOOSENED PARTS OF MY CAR AND FEELS LIKE PARTS OF MY CAR COULD FALL OFF AT ANYTIME. MY ENGINE ALSO HAS ISSUES AND I'VE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT LEAST TWICE NOW DUE TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. I HAVE NEVER FELT SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE CAR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE EMPLOYEES KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A FORD CAR AGAIN.

I HAVE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, THE CAR STOPPED WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I GET A WARNING MESSAGE TO CHECK THE ENGINE. THE AUTOMATIC SHIFTING IS HARD AND NOT SMOOTH. IT BECAME NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WEATHER IN A HIGHWAY OR ON A CITY STREET WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH AND ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE OR ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE REVVED UP WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED KELLER MOTORS (700 CADILLAC LN, HANFORD, CA 93230, (559) 582-1000) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN AT THE LOCATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILL TIESIERA FORD (2101 E CROSS AVE, TULARE, CA 93274, (559) 688-7471) TO BE DIAGNOSED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,772.

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AT THE RED LIGHTS WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THEN MY DAUGHTER HAS TO PUT ON THE HAZARD (SHE IS 17) AND PUT IT PARK, THEN PRAY THE VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN. JUST HAD THE 2 RECALLS DONE HOWEVER WAS TOLD WE NEED BY A PURGE VALVE WHICH I FOUND ONLINE WITH THESE YEAR MODELS WHEN I LOOK UP 2014 FORD FOCUS SHUTTING DOWN DURING WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT. IT ALSO STRUGGLES TO GET IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. IT SHUTTERS AND JUMPS. ONCE YOU GET THE VEHICLE OVER 40-50 MPH ON THE ROAD IT FEELS OKAY BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, GOOD LUCK. MY DAUGHTER IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO WALKER FORD, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE HOWEVER ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE DRIVING?

FOR SOME TIME NOW I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET 2 RECALLS FIXED ON MY VEHICLE : 18V735 AND 16V643. WHEN I PREVIOUSLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET FOR THE RECALLS. JUST YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE CAR THE REAR DOOR CAME OPEN BY ITSELF AND NOW WILL NOT CLOSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (LOGANVILLE FORD IN MONROE GEORGIA) WHO TOLD ME 1. THAT THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR THE REPAIR UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY (9/9) AND 2. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED FIRST THAT HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE FOR A WEEK WITH A DOOR THAT WOULD NOT CLOSE? AND SECOND THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID TO MY VEHICLE , THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FORD AND / OR THE DEALERSHIP NEEDED TO PROVIDE A LOANER OR A RENTAL (AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE) UNTIL THE SAFETY REPAIRS CAN BE ADDRESSED AND MADE. I FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER OTHER REPAIRS AS IT IS A HAZARD AND SOMEONE CAN GET HURT. BOTH FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE BOTH DENYING USE OF A LOANER AND I AM YET TO HEAR BACK ABOUT A RENTAL AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE AND I DO NOT THINK IT WILL COME TO FRUITION. I AM GOING TO REITERATE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DID TO MY VEHICLE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RECALL THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IF THE LATCHES CAN BE REPLACED ON ALL 4 DOORS AND THE FUEL TANK DEFORMATION CAN ALL BE REPAIRED IN A FEW HOURS I HAVE NO PROBL

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD NOT PULL HILL WHEN DRIVING, HAD TO PULL OVER AND ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT WAS LOW. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO ADD FLUID TO THIS VEHICLE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM OR NOT. VEHICLE DO NOT HAVE THE POWER IT HAD WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT

FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE/ SHUDDER EVEN THOUGH IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE "IT HAD NOT FAILED BAD ENOUGH YET". THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SAID THE PART WAS FAILING. IF THE PART HAD NOT FAILED BAD ENOUGH YET, THEN I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FEES.

PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WAS SLIPPING, BUCKING, JERKING, AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSIONS CAUSED DELAYED ACCELERATION AND DELAYS IN DOWNSHIFTS, CUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC.

I FOUND OUT THAT FORD ADMITTED THEIR 6 SPEED SPORT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THIS, BUT WHEN I NOTIFIED FORD OF MY INTENT TO JOIN THE CLASS (WHICH WAS REQUIRED), FORD DID NOT RESPOND. WHEN I CONTACTED THE CLASS LAWYER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT INCLUDE ME BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION CALIBRATED TWICE BEFORE THE DEADLINE. (3 TIMES WERE REQUIRED) IT IS STILL RUNNING POORLY. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX IN DEC. 2018, SO IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT LEAST ONCE BETWEEN (NEW) 2014 AND 2018. I AM WONDERING, "WHY" WHEN MULTIPLE MODELS OVER SEVERAL MANUFACTURING YEARS HAVE THIS SAME TRANSMISSION, HAS THERE NOT BEEN AN OFFICIAL RECALL?

SHIFTS HARD HESITATES HARD TO STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BLOW THE HORN AT ANOTHER DRIVER DRIVING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, THE HORN FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT DUE TO THE HORN NOT FUNCTIONING IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FORD OF NORTHAMPTON (968 BRIDGE RD, NORTHAMPTON, MA 01060) WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE WIRES UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT WERE CORRODED, CAUSING THE HORN TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

THE CAR WANT START IT WILL TURN ON THEN WHEN TRYING TO GO THE CAR STALLS OUT AND THE CAR KEEPS ACCLERATING. IT READS ENGINE FAILURE AND I HAVENT EVEN HAD THIS CAR TWO YEARS YET AND AINT EVEN FINISH PAYING I OFF. I HAD TO GET TOLLED OFF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS DO TO THE CAR WANT START AND WHEN GOT IT HOME IT STARTED BUT KEEPS ACCELERATING. I NEED THIS CAR TO GET CHECKED OR SOMETHING THIS IS UNSAFE FOR MY TODDLERS WHEN I HAVE TO USE THAT VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND TAKE MY KIDS TO DAYCARE..WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO WITH A VEHICLE IM STILL PAYING ON AND WANT START. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND SEEN THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THERE FORD FOCUS THE SAME PROBLEMS IM HAVING.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, AND MY CAR LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT LET THE CAR COAST TO THE NEAREST SIDE STREET. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS GOTTEN TO THIS PARTICULAR DEGREE. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND AS I WAS LEAVING THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR HESITATED AND TOOK A WHILE BEFORE THE SPEED WOULD PICK UP. IT ALSO DID SOME WEIRD THINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN, BUT KNOW THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. AFTER THIS FIRST INCIDENT, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED FORD AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CAR HAD TWO EXTENDED WARRANTIES AND I SHOULD TAKE IT INTO A AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AND THAT IF IT WAS A TRANSMISSION MODULE ISSUE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THE REPAIRS WOULD BE DONE AT NO COST. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN TENNESSEE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAD AN BRANDED TITLE AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PUT THE CAR ON THE MACHINE UNLESS FORD CORPORATE CALLED THEM DIRECTLY WITH AN AUTHORIZATION CODE. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE BACK AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THE AGENT PUT ME ON HOLD AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND GAVE HIM ALL THE INFORMATION HE NEEDED TO START THE WORK ON MY VEHICLE. ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER, I WAS CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE SOMEONE FROM FORD HAD CONTACTED HIM AND SAID THAT MY WARRANTY WAS NO GOOD. I EMAILED THE CEO AT FORD CORPORATION, AND AFTER TWO

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE, MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO STALL AND I KEPT PUNCHING THE GAS AND IT WAS LIKE THE KEY WAS OFF. LUCKILY, EVEN THO I WAS IN TRAFFIC, I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THERE WAS A SHOULDER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON. YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND IT QUICKLY STALLS. WHEN I GOT MY VEHICLE TO BE CODE READ, IT SAID ,'NO FUEL DELIVERED TO THE FUEL RAIL.' I COULD HAVE CAUSED OR BEEN IN A HORRIBLE WRECK IF LUCK HAD NOT BEEN THAT I WAS CLOSE TO A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER AT. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING IN MULTIPLE LANES THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

THE BUTTONS ON MY KEY ALL WORK BUT WHEN I GO TO START MY CAR IT SAYS THERE IS NO KEY.

BACK AT THE END OF JUNE, FIRST PART OF JULY I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WAS OFF BUT SOME STUPID "MY KEY CAME ON AND NOT IT REGULATES MY SPEED AND VOLUME. I AM NOT PAYING OVER $200 TO HAVE IT REMOVED. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE CLUTCH ON MY TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND FORD WON'T REPLACE IT FOR FREE AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE SINCE THEY CAN'T BUILD GOOD TRANSMISSIONS.

ENGINE STOPPED WHILE IN MOTION ON FREEWAY. ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ACCELERATION WOULD NOT POWER BACK ON. STEERING AND BRAKES WERE STILL OPERATIONAL. AFTER PULLING OVER, THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON, AND DOORS WILL NOT REMAIN LOCKED.
