2014 Ford Focus complaints

CHATTERING, SHUDDERING AND CUTTING OUT ON ACCELERATION AND IT HAS ERRATIC AND DELAYED SHIFTING.

FORD SHOULD GIVE ME A NEW TRANSMISSION, CAN'T EVEN GET TO LA FROM HOLLISTER. THE VEHICLE STILL HAS NO POWER, AND IS SLIPPING AND HESITATING LIKE CRAZY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIOLENTLY VIBRATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WHEN STARTED AND COOLANT WAS DISCOVERED LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LINDSAY FORD (11250 VEIRS MILL RD, WHEATON, MD 20902, (888) 457-7005) WHERE THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SHOULDER AND THEN KEPT DRIVING UNTIL THE DESIRED SPEED OF 65 MPH WAS REACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

VEHICLE HAS A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA

DOWN SHIFTS AND STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING.ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND ENGINE SHUTS OFF.

TAKARA RECALL THE CAR CAN RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES GIVE OR TAKE 30 MINUTES THEN JUST SHUTS OFF. IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES JUST TO TURN IT BACK ON IF LUCKY OR HAVE TO CALL AND HAVE IT TOWED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED GETTING GAS OR RESPONDING TO ME IT DROPPED SPEED DRAMATICALLY AS A SIMI WAS BEHIND ME WHICH READ OVERSIZED LOAD AND I WAS GOING UP HILL SO I WAS TRYING TO TRY MY HARDEST TO GET IN THE EMERGENCY LANE THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON FOOLING A WARNING OF MY TRANSMISSION WAS HOT TO STOP. I WAS TERRIFIED I HAD MY 2 KIDS IN THE BACK AND THEY WERE SCARED ALSO I THOUGHT FOR SURE WE WERE GOING TO DIE THAT MOURNING. I'M TO SCARED TO DRIVE THAT CAR OR ANY OTHER CAR AFTER GOING THREW THAT. IT'S IN THE SHOP NOW BUT THE DEARSHIP IS ALREADY TRYING TO TELL ME THE BILL FOR STUFF. I'M CONFUSED AND VARY AGGRAVATED THANKS TO ALL THAT I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO BEING A SINGLE DAD TRYING TO DO GOOD. THIS HAPPENED ON I-25 NORTH BOUND NEAR HIGHWAY 66 MEAD EXIT. COLORADO

THE FORD FOCUS I OWN WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2014 WITH A KNOWN TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURE ALONGSIDE THEIR FRANCHISES KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE YET THEY STILL REFUSE TO REPAIR IT.

O2 SENSORS NOT SET TO READY. UNABLE TO PASS EMISSIONS AS A RESULT. TAKEN TO FORD TO FLASH ECM. DID NOT CORRECT ISSUE. HAVE READ ON OTHER FORUMS OF OTHER DRIVERS WITH THIS ISSUE AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE GEAR SHIFTED OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TCM AND FUEL SYSTEM PURGE VALVE ARE BOTH RECALLED ON THIS VEHICLE , I HAVE TAKEN IT TO FORD 6 TIMES IN A YEAR FOR THIS ISSUE, THEY TELL ME ITS NOT AFFECTED BUT IT IS ACCORDING TO YOUR WEBSITE AND MY CAR HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF IT, ITLL LOOSE POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AND THEN AFTER I GET IT RESTARTED I CAN MAKE IT 2 MILES AND IT DOES IT AGAIN, IT IS A DEATH TRAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED BEFORE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS FAILED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FALL FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO YREKA MOTORS FORD (1545 S. MAIN ST, YREKA, CA), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

WHILE ACCELERATING EITHER UPHILL OR AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE. I WAS TOLD TO FIX MY CAMBER AND TOE BARS TO ALLEVIATE THE SHAKING OF THE CAR, MY STRUTS, AND TO REPLACE MY TIRES. NEITHER OF THESE SOLUTIONS HAVE HELPED THIS.

INQUIRY FROM CONGRESSMAN JEANNE SHASHEEN ON BEHALF OF HER CONSTITUENT, REG: COMPLAINT TOWARDS FORD DEALERSHIP, REQUEST TO LOOK INTO POSSIBLE RECALL OF 2014 FORD FOCUS SE TRANSMISSIONS. *LD *JS

BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES. TODAY TRANSMISSION REVVED UP TO 4000 RPM THEN STUTTERED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 70MPH. NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. GOING TO SHOP TOMORROW. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO SPENDING $1500 A FOURTH TIME.

COMPLAINTS: POWER TRAIN (CURRENTLY-5TH CLUTCH ASY HAVING SERVICED), BODY: LOCKS AND HATCH DONOT WORK MOST OF THE TIME..PASSENGER DOOR KNOB JUST FELL OFF IN PASSENGER HAND, EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION, CAR JERKS AND STALLS, FALSE DIGITAL READINGS ON DASH. SOME LIGHTS STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. HAD TO HAVE TO TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SENSOR REPLACED 2 YRS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE.ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. ALL DOCUMENTS HAVE VIN AND MY NAME ON THEM, SO CANT UPLOAD THEM. MULTIPLE DATES OF SERVICE, BUT AM LISTING THE LAST DOS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WKS SO FAR. AWAITING LIST FOR A LOANER CAR IS 3 WKS OUT. I AM WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION STILL. CURRANT DOS IS AN APPROXIMATE DATE, AS IT IS STILL WITH THE FORD MECHANIC. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BC I INHERITED RAISING 2 GRANDCHILDREN, AND NEEDED A ECONOMICAL AND RELIABLE VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THEM TO AND FROM DR APPTS, SCHOOL, PRESCHOOL ECT, BUT THIS VEHICLE IS ANYTHING BUT RELIABLE. IT'S BEEN AN EXPENSIVE NIGHTMARE. MY EXTENDED WARRANT ALREADY PAID FOR THIS FIX LAST TIME, AND NOW I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT MY POLICY MAXIMUM MAY HAVE BEEN REACHED, THUS MAKING ME RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BALANCES DUE FROM THIS REPAIR. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO WORK BC OF UNRELIABLE TRANSPORTATION, AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONIES TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS DESIGN FLAW IN THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX. THE PROBLEM RECURS CONTINUOUSLY. IF MY WARRANY POLICY DOESNT PAY FOR THESE AND FUTURE REPAIRS, ND FORD ISN'T PAYING

HORN STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN JUST STARTED. HORN SOMETIMES WON'T WORK FOR DAYS

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON ACCELERATION AT STARTS AND ON HIGHWAYS. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, SOMETIMES SO BAD THAT ACCELERATION IS LAGGING. DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

MY FAMILY WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND WHEN THE CAR WAS STARTED UP THE STEERING WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WOULD NOT TURN WITHOUT A LOT OF DIFFICULTIES. A MESSAGE CAME ON THAT SAID: STEERING ASSIST FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED. WE HAD TO GET TO AN AIRPORT AND WE WERE STUCK IN A PARKING LOT. WE WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IF THERE WAS A SOLUTION. WE SAW THAT OTHERS HAD THIS PROBLEM. ONE SOLUTION WE READ WAS TO LET THE CAR SIT A BIT AND THEN TRY AGAIN. WE DID THIS AND EACH TIME IT WAS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. FINALLY, AFTER WAITING A LITTLE LONGER I STARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO MOVE BUT WAS STILL VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. AFTER CIRCLING THE PARKING LOT A FEW TIMES WE DECIDED TO TRY TO GET TO THE AIRPORT ON TIME. I DROVE AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT BUT I WAS VERY CAREFUL AND WE GOT THERE AND THEN HOME, SEVERAL HOURS OF DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT WITH ONLY 58,000 MILES ON THE CAR IT SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM AND THAT HE COULD FIX IT FOR UP TO $2,000 BUT THAT HE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT FORD SHOULD PAY FOR IT AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A FORD DEALER AND CONTACT FORD TO PAY FOR IT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD GARAGE WHO WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING BUT WERE UNABLE TO PAY FOR IT. I THEN CALLED THE FORD COMPANY PHONE AND THE PERSON TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT AT ALL BUT THAT I SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPT IN CASE THEY LATER WOULD PAY IF MANY WERE AFFECTED. I GOT THE CAR FIXED FOR $2,155. THAT WAS FOR: 1 HV6Z

POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING. NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKY THERE WERE NO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. FORD DEALERSHIP SAID RACK AND PINION NEEDED REPLACING. 2 WEEKS LATER THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED. HAD ALREADY BEEN RE-PROGRAMMED AS PART OF THE 14M02 PROGRAM. THIS DIDN'T FIX THE JUDDERING AND POOR GEAR PERFORMANCE. DEALER SAYS TRANSMISSION IS BROKEN AND NONE OF THE CUSTOMER PROGRAMS APPLY.

THIS YEAR AND MODEL HAD A RECALL FOR THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION DUE TO CLUTCH WILL STALL AND SHUTTER. MY VEHICLE HAS HAD THE CLUTCH CHANGED 3 TIMES NOW WITHOUT RESULT. I AM CURRENTLY IN NEED OF THE 4TH CLUTCH REPAIR ON MY 2014 FORD FOCUS AND NOW I AM BEING TOLD BY MY FORD DEALERSHIP THAT IS " RECALL" PART WILL NOT BE COVERED AND IT WILL COST ME $1800 TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED THE PAST 3 TIMES. NOW MY CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AS IT WILL STALL. MY CAR CURRENTLY WILL SHUTTER WHILE TRYING TO SPEED UP FROM 0-20 WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO PULL OUT SAFELY AND IT IS NOW NOT DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR FOR A WEEK NOW AND THIS IS MY MAIN MEANS OF TRAVEL FOR WORK TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT FROM A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CONTACTED AND WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A JUMP START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PACIFICO FORD (LOCATED AT 6701 ESSINGTON AVENUE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153, (877) 349-3923) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND TRANSMISSION CLUTCH NEEDED TO ALSO BE REPAIRED. THE FUEL TANK AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WERE REPLACED; TWICE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT IT WOULD COST $947 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH. THE REPAIR WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

52,000 MILES - 2014 FORD FOCUS MANUAL - WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS, DURING CAR STARTUP THE ERROR MESSAGE "POWER ASSIST MALFUNCTION - SERVICE REQUIRED." THE POWER STEERING WAS DEACTIVATED AND MADE VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER 5 MIN. THE ERROR MESSAGE DISAPPEARED AND POWER STEERING CAME BACK. FROM OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES, THIS ERROR COULD OCCUR WHILE DRIVING AND SEEMS TO BE COSTLY REPAIR FOR A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE.

HORNS WERE REPLACED IN 2017 UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER'S SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HORNS. HORNS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY STARTING FIVE MONTHS AGO. HAD CAR IN FOR STATE INSPECTION TWO WEEKS AGO AND THAT DAY THEY WORKED SO CAR PASSED BUT SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THAT HORNS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PART IS MORE THAN ONE YEAR OLD WHICH IS THE LENGTH OF TIME FORD WARRANTIES THE PART. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE FORD FOCUS FORUM (FOCUS FANATICS.COM) AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. A HORN IS NOT A NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR" PART AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER REFUSED TO EVEN CHECK WITH FORD TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART EITHER AS A WARRANTY ITEM OR AS A "GOOD WILL" ITEM. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SUBSTANDARD PART AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

MY FORD FOCUS WOULD REV UP AND DOWN.... AND WHEN I WOULD HIT A SPEED OVER 50 MPH I COULDN'T PRESS THE GAS ANYMORE. I WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE MY GAS PEDAL WOULDN'T TAKE ME ANYWHERE. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I ALMOST DIED. I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GYM PARKING LOT AND IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR WILL STAY ON BUT WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS IT GOES NO WHERE. I TOOK IT TO FORD, AND THEY REPLACED WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS WRONG WITH THEIR CURRENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING. THEY ARE NOT SAFE CARS!!!!

VEHICLE SHUTTERS ALMOST STALLS IN FIRST GEAR BETWEEN 1000 AND 3000 RPMS AFTER 3000 RPMS CAR RUNS SMOOTH SHIFTS EASY ALMOST AS IF CAR HAS NOT ENOUGH FUEL OR TOO MUCH AIR , BUT ONLY WHEN CAR FIRST STARTS MOVING. CAR JERKS AS IF YOU WERE LEARNING TO DRIVE STICK SHIFT FOR THE FIRST TIME. COMMON FOCUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. TSS FORD (1733 US-97, MADRAS, OR 97741, (541) 475-7204) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

NOISE COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING; SHUTTERING; STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE; TRANSMISSION STALLED OUT ON A HILL; REMOTE LOCK BUTTON FOUND NON FUNCTIONAL AT TIMES; BLUETOOTH NON FUNCTIONAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED, SHOOK VIOLENTLY, AND JERKED HARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO REDWOOD FORD (1170 S STATE ST, UKIAH, CA 95482, (707) 468-0091) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW OIL SEAL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED ANOTHER REPAIR APPOINTMENT THIS WEEK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR SPUTTERS AND LAGS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOPPED POSITION. FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT GOING TO GO. DELAYS AND SPUTTERS. IT DOES THIS DAILY; OFTEN.

I'M STILL HAVING DAILY SHUDDERING AND STALLING ISSUES, I HAVE TO BRING IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN.

ALL OF THE INTERNAL LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING, AND THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. FUSES ARE ALL FINE. I NOTICED THE HORN NOT WORKING AFTER SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME ON THE HIGHWAY.

TRANSMISSION JUMPS AND SLIPS RANDOMLY. NEXT DAY, IT'S FINE. IT'S GENERALLY BETWEEN 1-3 GEARS.

THERE ARE TWO OPEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE THE WINTER OF 2018 ABOUT HAVING THE RECALL WORK DONE. THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME AND HAVE ONLY STATED THAT THEY WILL WHEN THERE IS A FIX AVAILABLE. AS OF THIS WEEK, 08/14/19, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TOOK TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THEM RUN THE CODE. TWO CODES CAME BACK AND BOTH ARE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE RECALLS IN QUESTION INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE CAN STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING, AND THIS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN A COLLISION. THE CAR IS NOW NOT RUNNING AT ALL. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT FORD HAS TAKEN CLOSE TO A YEAR TO FIX THEIR ERRORS WHICH HAVE CAUSED THESE RECALLS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SAFETY IS A CONCERN.

I HAD A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT I'M FILING NOW . THE RECALL WAS FUEL DEFORMATION INSPECTION, FORD INSTALLED A FUEL VAPOUR SEP THE RECALL NUMBER IS 18S32. NOW THIS PROBLEM WAS ORIGINALLY FIXED 3/18/19 . IT IS 8/13/19 THAT I AM BACK AT THE SAME LOCATION FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WHICH INCLUDES LOW FUEL PRESSURE , THE GAS ISN'T GETTING TO THE ENGINE (CENSOR) AND THE CAR STOPS OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY .

TRANSMISSION WAS JERKING LIKE A MANUAL WHEN SHIFTING OUR 2014 FORD FOCUS WITH 47,706 MILES. TOOK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT AND EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SUCH AN ISSUE. I AM ATTACHING MY INVOICE FOR REPAIRS.

PURCHASED CAR IN APRIL 2019. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER A FEW TIMES NEEDS A WHOLE NEW CLUTCH

MY CAR IS PART OF THE 18S32 (FORD) RECALL FOR THE "FUEL TANK DEFORMATION". I HAD IT SERVICED IN MARCH IN BOLIVAR, MO AT BILL GRANT FORD DEALERSHIP. THE REPROGRAMMED THE PART AS NEEDED DUE TO THE MIL BEING ON WITH THE CODE AND STATED THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN FIXED AND FORD HAS CLOSED THE RECALL ON MY CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER FUELING AND IT COULD TAKE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 MINUTES TO UPWARDS OF 45 MINUTES FOR IT TO BE ABLE TO START AFTER FUELING, WHICH LEAVES ME STRANDED AT TIMES. THEIR REPAIR LASTED ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AND IT WAS BACK TO DOING IT AGAIN SO I AM BACK AT SQUARE 1 WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF WAITING TO GET IN THE SHOP. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE JIM TRENARY FORD DEALSHIP IN MOSCOW MILLS, MO WHERE I RESIDE. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE PURGE VALVE IS FAILING DUE TO THE RECALL, AS THE RECALL STATES EXACTLY. AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE RECALL IS CLOSED ON MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS REPAIRED ONCE, FORD IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT. IT IS NOT MY OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS THIS IS 100% FORD'S FAULT AND I WILL NOT PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR IT. FORD ISSUES THE NEW RECALL (19S22) AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL BUT YET IT NEEDS TO BE AS THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO FORD AND THEY STATE THAT THEY WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH PAYING FOR THE REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THEIR RECALLED PART. OR THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL FOR A MORE BROAD SPECTRUM OF VEHICLES AS THIS IS UNACCEPTA

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE FORD DPS6 TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SHIFT ROUGH, STUTTERS AND HESITATES. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ROBINSON BROTHERS FORD IN BATON ROUGE, LA. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THAT THE CLUTCHES AND SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED ON ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES. THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND JERK AND IT WOULD LOSE POWER.

AT A STOP LIGHT JUST BEFORE MY HOUSE MY CAR MADE A NOISE, LURCHED AND THEN DIDNT WANT TO ACCELERATE. IT WAS CLOSE TO HOME SO WE CRAWLED IT HOME THANKFULLY THEN IT REFUSED TO GO IN REVERSE. PREVIOUSLY IT HAD A STUTTER PROBLEM BROUGHT IT TO FORD AND OTHER MECHANICS AND GOT NO ANSWER AS TO WHAT CAUSED IT. CURRENTLY BEING IN MY 9TH MONTH OF PREGNANCY AND HAVING AN 11 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE CAR THESE ISSUES COULDVE CAUSED A CRASH AND PUT THE LIFE OF MY UNBORN CHILD AND MY BABY IN THE BACK IN DANGER. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BEING THAT IT IS THE TCM WHICH IS FAULTY HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE WHOLE PROBLEM. THE TCM CAUSES THE CLUTCH AND CLUTCH FORKS TO GO BAD LEADING TO THESE PROBLEMS AND FORD WANTS OVER $2000 TO FIX IT WHILE THEY ONLY REPLACE THE TCM. FORD PUT OUT THIS CAR KNOWING IT HAD THESE PROBLEMS ON THE PRODUCTION LINE AND DOES NOT PROPERLY INFORM OWNERS THEREFORE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.

2014 FORD FOCUS JERKS ON TAKE OFF WHEN ACCELERATING. DANGEROUS IN WET CONDITIONS. NUMEROUS TIMES HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER AND FINALLY HAVE HAD A CLUTCH REPLACED AND ISSUED PERSISTED. DEALER SAID THIS CONDITION IS NORMAL AND STILL HAPPENS EVERYDAY.

MESSAGE OCCURRED ON 8/8/2019 'TRANSMISSION OVER HEATING PULL OVER AND ALLOW COOLING'. I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON CLEMENTS FERRY ROAD, CHARLESTON SO PULLED OFF THE ROAD AT TRUVALUE HARDWARE. I HAD BEEN GOING INTO PALMETTO FORD TO SATISFY RECALLS OUTSTANDING. THERE WAS CONCERN WHEN I TOOK MY CAR INTO PALMETTO FORD WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE FOR OTHER RECALLS. AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR FOR RECALL, I RETURNED FOR THE NEXT RECALL AND MENTIONED THAT THE CAR HAD BEGUN JERKING WHEN PULLING ONTO ROADS AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND ONLY BEGAN AFTER THE FIRST RECALL REPAIRS. THERE WERE A FEW TIMES WHEN THE CAR JUST SAT THERE NOT MOVING UNTIL THE JERK WOULD HAPPEN. MR. MOUNT AT PALMETTO FORD SAID THAT WAS HOW THE TRANSMISSION WORKED TO CHANGE GEARS. I WAS STILL CONCERNED AND TOOK THE CAR TO O'REILLY FOR DIAGNOSTIC READING. ATTACHMENT 1 IS A COPY OF THE MESSAGE ON O'REILLY'S DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN. THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THAT MESSAGE BEFORE.

PRIOR TO, THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER, ALMOST ROCK BACK AND FORTH AT SLOW SPEEDS EITHER IN THE PARKING GARAGE, PARKING LOTS, AT HOME. RECENTLY THE CAR HAD A ROUGH TIME TURNING OVER AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION. THE CAR SHUDDERED AND SEEMED TO HAVE A HARD TIME MOVING. ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAD HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, HOWEVER, WHEN THE CODE WAS CHECKED IT WENT AWAY (P144A). WITH WHAT I WAS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PURGE VALVE HAD TO BE REPLACED.

2014 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR AND THE ENGINE REVVED HIGHLY AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP. *LD *JS

WHILE DRIVING MY RPM WENT ALL THE WAY UP TO 8 THEN THE ORANGE LIGHT HIGHLIGHTING D WAS BLINKING THEN MY CAR JUST STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. WAITED A WHILE AND TRIED TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T EVEN START. THERE WAS NOTHING WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. THEN I GOT A WARNING LIGHT THAT SAID TRANSMISSION FAULT. TRIED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT SAID CAR WAS NOT IN PARK
