2014 Ford Focus complaints

THE CAR CONSTANTLY HAS SEVERE SHUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING. ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH, ON A N AUTOMATIC CAR AT 70K MILES, AND IT IMMEDIATELY HAD THE SAME ISSUES THE DEALERSHIP SAID COULDNT BE FIXED.

THIS CAR HESITATES AND JERKS FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THERE IS A RATTLE AS THE CAR STARTS MOVING. ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHILE MERGING UPHILL INTO TRAFFIC, THE CAR STALLED. ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, IT CAME CLOSE TO STALLING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WHEN I GET THE CAR BACK FROM BEING REPAIRED, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COMES BACK ON AFTER A WEEK OR TWO. I CAN'T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BELOW ABOUT WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

MY MODULE CONTROL TO THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACE. NOW MY CAR IS AT FORD BECAUSE THE MOTOR CLUTCH TO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACE, THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A WEEK OF GETTING OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE FIRST TIME. I CAN'T UPLOAD ANYTHING, CAR HAS BEEN AT FORD SINCE JUNE 20

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS TITANIUM. MY VEHICLE HAS JUST PASSED THE 70,000 MILE MARK AND CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE WITH THE TRANSMISSION TO INCLUDE BUCKING, KICKING, JERKING, AND DELAYED ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR MULTIPLE SOFTWARE UPDATES AND A NEW CLUTCH. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THE COMPANY HAS A SOLID FIX FOR THIS. THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION ARE FOR MULTIPLE YEARS WITHIN THE FOCUS AND FIESTA VEHICLES. JUST TODAY, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AS I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN. SIMPLY PUT, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY FORD FOCUS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING DONE TO RESOLVE THIS SO DRIVERS ARE SAFE AND SECURE.

MY TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN STARTING TO MOVE WHEN TRANSMISSION IN WARM. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE AND THEY REPLACED SOME KIND OF RUBBER SEALS. THEY ALSO REPLACED THE BRAIN BOX FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH WOULD CHATTER, SHUDDER AND SLIP. TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED ON: 6/15/2015, AND 2/01/2016. AFTER THAT ACTION THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED ON 2/16/2018. WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SOMETIMES SLIP AND NOT GET THE CAR UP TO SPEED. WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF THE CLUTCH SHUDDERS OFF.

WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ACCELERATION SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CAR DOES NOT CHANGE GEARS CLEANLY. INSTEAD IT MAY HESITATE BEFORE CHANGING GEARS, ACT LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL WITH HIGH REVOLUTIONS AND NO CHANGE IN ACCELERATION. WE HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE PEDAL CONSTANTLY TO TRY TO MAKE IT ACT NORMAL IN CHANGING GEARS EVEN THOUGHT THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAR.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD (12/2018) ABOUT A RECALL 18V-735. THIS INVOLVES A "STUCK PURGE VALVE"(CPV) WITH IN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM. THE LETTER SAID I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART WOULD BE READY FOR THE REPAIR. IT SAID THE PARTS WERE TO ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE BY 1ST QUARTER, 2019. WE ARE NOW INTO THE 3RD QUARTER OF THE YEAR AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE OF THE PART BEING READY TO MAKE THE REPAIRS.

APRIL 25 2019 TO THIS DAY JULY 10TH 2019 IS WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED BREAKING DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE, I'M GOING TO WORK AT 6AM I NOTICE MY CAR STARTING UP ODD AND SO ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS GETTING ON THE HIGH WAY AS I WAS ACCELERATING SOMETHING HAPPENED IN MY CAR THAT MADE A LOUD NOISE AND MY CAR BUCKED AS IF IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO REV SO I TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND MANAGED TO GET TO WORK BY DRIVING SLOWLY AND MAN WAS IT A SCARE. I ENDED UP LEAVING MY CAR OVERNIGHT AT WORK AND GOT IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SAYING MY RADIATOR WAS BUSTED ($260 OUT MY POCKET), LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE ABOUT ANY RECALLS AND SAW I HAD A COUPLE TO BE FIXED AND THAT'S WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO A LOCAL DEALER FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY FIXED MY CAR BUT WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT WAS JUST AS BAD AND I EVEN STARTED GETTING MESSAGES ON MY DASHBOARD ABOUT MY LID COMPARTMENT BEING OPEN MAKING ME GET OFF ON RED LIGHTS TO GET OUT AND CLOSE THE TRUNK. THEN MY SECOND TIME BEING STRANDED ON MY WAY TO WORK, SAME THING STARTING OFF MY CAR FELT ODD BUT THIS TIME I MADE IT TO WORK BUT AS SOON AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT MY CAR HAD FELT LIKE IT DIED AND STALLED RIGHT AS I WAS PARKING AND WHEN I GOT OFF AND LOCKED MY CAR IT STARTED MAKING WEIRD MECHANICAL NOISES, THAT'S WHEN I HAD TO GET IT TOWED THE NEXT DAY AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION MODULE, SO I GO ONLINE AGAIN AND SEE THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY EXACT PROBLEM. SO I TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER SO THEY CAN F

NHTSA CONTACTED FORD BACK IN MAY 2018 ABOUT THE PURGE VALVE THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. FORD ISSUED RECALL 18S32 BACK IN DECEMBER 2018. MY CAR WAS SUPPOSED BE FIXED, ACCORDING TO THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM FORD, IN JANUARY 2019. FORD HAS PROVIDED NO UPDATES FOR THIS FIX. WHEN I CONTACT FORD, I AM TOLD THERE IS NO TIME TABLE FOR A FIX. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I AM TOLD BY FORD TO NOT DRIVE UNDER HALF A TANK OF GAS AND NOT TRUST THE GAS GAUGE. THIS NEEDS TO GET FIXED ASAP.

TRANSMISSION KEEPS GOING INTO FAULT MODE, RANDOMLY DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE IN A GEAR AT ALL. DOES THIS AT INTERSECTIONS, DRIVEWAYS, AND WHILE REGULAR DRIVING, OUT OF NOWHERE. DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CAUSE THIS HOWEVER IT IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS.

HAD THE TRANS CLUTCHES REPAIRED, AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES: CAR SHUDDERS AND SHAKES WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT AND ACTS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING IN BETWEEN GEARS . MAKES STOPPING AND STARTING OR ENTERING A HIGHWAY VERY DANGEROUS . SEEMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL FORD . THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL OR THE TRANS SHOULD HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR FORDS KNOW DAUL CLUTCH PROBLEMS.

I HAD THE RECALL FIXED ON 5/17/2019 AND MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL. I KEEP MY TANK ABOVE HALF OR FULL AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL WITH EVEN A FULL TANK. MY CAR WAS STALLED ON I 294 IN ILLINOIS ONE OF THE BUSIEST TOLLWAY NEAR THE CHICAGO AIRPORT.

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH DISENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING WHEN I WAS TURNING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, SWINGING THE DOOR OPEN WHILE MOVING. THE LATCH WILL NOT ENGAGE ANYMORE, AND THE DOOR IS STUCK OPEN. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE LATCH, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL.

FORD FOCUS GAS RECALL. PART WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN FOR REPAIR DECEMBER 2018

THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION CAUSE CLUTCHES TO RUN OUT THAT MAY CAUSE THE CAR TO STALL. I HAVE 2 CLUTCH REPLACED BY NEW CAR WARRANTY. LAST DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THAT I NEED TO CHANGE CLUTCHES AGAIN BUT MY NEW CAR WARRANTY IS EXPIRED. SINCE THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE CLUTCHES SHOULD BE CHANGED PERIODICALLY, PROBABLY EVERY 5K - 12K MILES. FOR SOME REASON FORD DIDN'T INCLUDE MY CAR UNDER 14M01 WARRANTY EXTENSION. I DO RISK THAT MY CAR TO BE STALLED DUE TO CLUTCHES RUN OUT BECAUSE OF FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

CAR SHUDDERS AND SHAKES WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT AND ACTS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING IN BETWEEN 2 AND THIRD GEARS . MAKES STOPPING AND STARTING OR ENTERING A HIGHWAY VERY DANGEROUS . SEEMS THISNPROBLEM IS AN ON GOING ONE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL FORD .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. KOONS FORD OF BALTIMORE (6970 SECURITY BLVD, WINDSOR MILL, MD 21244, (410) 298-3800) 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.

I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND WENT TO SLOW DOWN TO TURN AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO BACK INTO GEAR. I JUST HAD ANOTHER TRANSMISSION PUT IN AND THE VERY NEXT DAY AN ALERT POPPED UP ON MY DASH SAYING TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC SHOP THEY SAID THAT THE ISSUE WASN'T MY TRANSMISSION ITSELF AND THAT IT WAS A COMMUNICATION ISSUE BETWEEN THE PCM AND THE TCM. OVERALL THIS CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE STYLE OF TRANSMISSION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KORF MOTORS FORD LINCOLN (LOCATED AT 520 E CHESTNUT ST, STERLING, CO 80751, (970) 522-1500) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

UPON "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATION, I TOOK CAR TO GARAGE TO HAVE CODES READ. THEY SHOWED ME WHAT THEY BELIEVED TO BE THE ISSUE AND SAID I SHOULD CHECK WITH FORD FOR RECALLS OR COMPENSATION TO HAVE WHAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT FIXED. I GOOGLED MY SITUATION AND WAS STUNNED TO SEE HOW COMMON A PROBLEM IT IS. ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTPS://WWW.FOCUSFANATICS.COM/FORUM/MK3-FOCUS/517737-TSB-14-0215-CHAFING-WIRING-HARNESS.HTML. IN MY SITUATION THE WIRE HARNESS HAS CUT THROUGH FROM RUBBING ON THE MANIFOLD AND THERE IS OBVIOUS CORROSION TO THE WIRING. THIS CAUSES SPORADIC LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND HAS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO NOT START UPON TWO OCCASIONS. LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHEN TRAVELING CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ACCIDENT CAUSING. AND THE COST TO FIX THIS MANUFACTURING FLAW SEEMS DEPENDENT ON HOW MANY WIRES ARE INVOLVED, AND IF ANY CIRCUITS WERE ACTUALLY FRIED AND NON-WORKING AS A RESULT OF THE WIRING ISSUE. I WAS QUOTED UPWARDS OF $1000 FOR THE FULL WIRING HARNESS ALONE WITH NO LABOR (WORSE CASE SCENARIO). I AM ALSO UNABLE TO PASS NYS INSPECTION UNTIL THE ISSUE IS FIXED AND THE CODES ARE CLEARED. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM FORD AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO PROGRAMS ARE IN PLACE AT THIS TIME TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. FORD HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN AWARE OF THIS FLAW FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. IF I HAD BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN EASILY CORRECTED BEFORE IT BECAME DESTRUCTIVE AND DANGEROUS AND A MAJOR REPAIR JOB. I FEEL IGNORING THIS ISSUE

FORD MOTOR CONTACTED ME LAST YEAR ABOUT A RECALL, 18V735. EACH TIME I CONTACT THEM, THE DATE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS HAS BEEN DELAYED FARTHER OUT INTO THE FUTURE. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2019. I FEEL THAT FORD IS STRINGING ME ALONG, AND THAT PARTS WILL NEVER BE AVAILABLE. THE LONGER THEY DELAY, THE LESS UNSAFE VEHICLES THEY WILL HAVE TO FIX. I THINK ACTION, IN THE FORM OF LARGE FINES, NEEDS TO BE TAKEN, IN ORDER TO GET FORD TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT'S MOTHER OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE THE CONTACT'S MOTHER WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON IT FOR THE CLUTCH PACK THAT IS BAD. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS BUILT AFTER JUNE 2014 THEY WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT DUE TO THE SAME BAD PARTS BEING USED ON MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MADE AFTER JUNE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS 3000.00 TO FIX A BAD PART THAT WAS PUT IN MY CAR BY FORD. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THE SAME PART WAS USED ON MY CAR. IT'S NOT FAIR THAT MY CAR ISN'T GETTING FIXED DUE TO WHEN IT WAS MADE BUT HAS THE SAME BAD PART.

WHILE IN ACCELERATING VEHICLE STALLS AND TREMBLES BEFORE MAKING A LOT NOISE AND THEN IT ACCELERATES. YESTERDAY THE VEHICLE STARTED DECREASING SPONTANEOUSLY WHEN SHIFTING GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WANTS TO FALL OF THE CAR, IT LIT THE CHECK ENGINE SIGN, THE MILLAGE ON IT IS 60675. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED TWICE. ALSO EVERY 3 TO 5 MONTHS I ALSO HAVE TO GO UNDER THE CAR AND CLEAN THE HORN PLUG SINCE IT KEEPS GOING MALFUNCTIONING ( I HAVE EVEN TRIED SEALING IT WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE) AND CURRENTLY I HAVE NO RADIO AND NO BLUETOOTH SINCE IT ALSO STOP SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING.

THE TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN BELOW 10MPH AND ACTS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING. AFTER RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE. SAFETY ISSUE WHEN AT STOP LIGHTS AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. AFRAID TO TAKE VEHICLE ON ROAD.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS RUN HIT IT WILL SAY THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING AND IT WILL CUT ITSELF OFF. I HAVE HAD IT CUT OFF ON ME TWICE.I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK OFF GAS AND ONLY RUN MY CAR LIKE 40 MILES AND IT WILL SAY ITS EMPTY. I HAVE HAD WERE MY CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE THE ONLY GEAR I HAVE WOULD BE THE SPORTS MODE I HAVE LITERALLY HAD TO PUSH MY CAR.WHEN IT COOLS DOWN IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR BUT AS SOON AS THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION WOULD GET HOT IT WOULDN'T HAVE ANY GEARS ANYMORE. I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MONTHS AGO THAT STATED THEY WOULD HAVE MY PART BY THE END OF MARCH2019 HERE IT IS THE END OF JUNE2019 AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE GEARS WOULD NOT SWITCH PROPERLY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. ALSO, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLAKE FULENWIDER FORD (115 W HOUSTON ST, BEEVILLE, TX 78102) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

MY REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH STOPPED LATCHING. IT WILL NO LONGER LOCK OR SHUT COMPLETELY. WHEN IT HAPPENED I WAS JUST LOADING MY BAG INTO MY BACKSEAT AND WENT TO SHUT THE DOOR. NOTHING WAS BLOCKING THE DOOR OR LATCH, IT JUST STOPPED WORKING.

THE CAR WILL BE DRIVING AND WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE IT IS LIKE THE CAR CHUGS AND STUTTERS BEFORE IT WILL KICK INTO GEAR, THEN I WAS DRIVING AND THE FRONT BOTTOM SPOILER OR SOMETHING FELL OFF APPARENTLY THE SCREWS HOLDING THAT AND THE PLATE UNDER THE ENGINE FELL OUT AS I WAS DRIVING I HAD TO ZIP TIE THE PLATE TO THE BOTTOM OF CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MY NIGHT MARE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2016 AND I OWE SO MUCH ON IT THAT TRADING IT IN WOULD NOT EVEN HELP.

2014 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. *LD *JS

RADIO TOTALLY DIED, THEN TIME TO TIME SPEAKERS GIVES OUT LOUD POPPING AND CRACKING SOUNDS OUT OF NO WHERE EVEN WHEN RADIO IS OFF. WHILE DRIVING, THIS STARTLES ME AND COULD DISTRACT ME FROM THE ROADS AND CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS.

WHEN SHIFTING DOWN FROM DRIVE TO PARK, MY SHIFT GETS STUCK IN NEUTRAL OR WHEN I AM SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, I AM UNABLE TO MOVE THE CAR INTO ANOTHER GEARS. WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN MY CAR SEEMS TO STALLS TO TAKE OFF. WHEN I DRIVE DOWN THE STREET THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF. A FORD TRUCK ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE THE LIGHT WAS ALREADY GREEN AND MY CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT GO. I HAD MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND HE SWERVED INTO ANOTHER LANE WHERE THE TRAFFIC WAS HEADED TOWARD THE TRUCK. THIS VERY DANGEROUS.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY (FMC) ISSUED A RECALL (18S32) IN DECEMBER OF 2018, COPY ATTACHED WITH NOTES OF DATES I FOLLOWED UP WITH THEM. THE ISSUE IS "ON YOUR VEHICLE, THE ENGINE MAY STALL DUE TO A STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) WITHIN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM." THEIR RECALL LETTER INDICATED THAT "PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE BY 1ST QUARTER, 2019." I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH FMC THREE TIMES, THE LAST OF WHICH WAS ON 6/24/19 WHEN I "CHATTED" WITH LACY. THAT CHAT WAS TOTALLY UNSATISFACTORY. BASICALLY ALL I HEARD WAS THE CANNED RESPONSE AND NO REAL INDICATION THAT FMC HAS PLACED ANY PRIORITY ON FIXING THE UNSAFE CONDITION. MY HOPE IS THAT YOU CAN "ENCOURAGE" FMC TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND MAKE THE NECESSARY PARTS AVAILABLE ON AN EXPEDITED BASIS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY CARS ARE SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL, BUT I KNOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY WHERE IT CAN UNEXPECTEDLY STALL AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO ME, MY FAMILY, OR SOME OTHER INNOCENT PERSON. ANY "ENCOURAGEMENT" YOU CAN PROVIDE FMC TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AND APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. DAVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AT A LOWER SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEAMBOAT MOTORS FORD (LOCATED AT 2310 LINCOLN AVE, STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO 80487, (970) 879-8880) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,500.

IN THE COURSE OF LESS THAN A MONTH, THE CAR'S PROBLEM PROGRESSED FROM INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUES THAT LEFT ME STRANDED TO A FULL-ON FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM. THE CLUTCH OF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED IN JUNE 2018. ON MAY 30TH, 2019, THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN DUE TO TRANSMISSION STARTING ISSUES. THE LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON WHEN TURNING THE KEY, BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT CRANK. THE CAR WAS RETURNED AFTER THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. ON JUNE 11, 2019, THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. CAR WOULD NOT START AND TOOK ABOUT 50 TRIES AFTER HAVING BEEN STRANDED FOR SEVERAL HOURS. CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME SEVERAL DAYS LATER BECAUSE NOTHING WAS FOUND. ON JUNE 19, 2019, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO PASS SOMEONE, AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING, MY BATTERY LIGHT WAS ON, AND MY OIL LIGHT WAS ON. THE CAR DOWNSHIFTED AND STARTED TO RAPIDLY DECELERATE. ENGINE SHUT DOWN, AND CAR WAS ROLLING TO A STOP. I HAD TO RUSH TO THE RIGHT LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AND I MANAGED TO ROLL MY WAY UP THE EXIT RAMP, WHERE MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY AT THE TOP OF THE EXIT RAMP. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART, AND I WAS STRANDED THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR IN A DANGEROUS PLACE AND SITUATION. I CALLED A TOW, AND AFTER TRYING TO START MY CAR INTERMITTENTLY FOR OVER AN HOUR, THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED. I DROVE IT STRAIGHT

MY PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT KEEPS GOING OUT. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE LIGHTS, THE LOW BEAM WILL NOT WORK. ALL THE FUSES HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND SEEM TO BE WORKING PROPERLY.

THE CAR HESITATES EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. IT DOES THIS WHEN YOU ARE STATIONARY AND FIRST STARTING OUT AND WHEN YOU ARE ALREADY IN MOTION. SOMETIMES IT'S SO PRONOUNCED THAT I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO STALL COMPLETELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE 1ST DAY I BOUGHT IT AND THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT THAT'S THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. SOMETHING ABOUT A DIFFERENT KIND OF TRANSMISSION.

YESTERDAY I NOTICED THAT MY STEERING SEEMED A LITTLE HARD TO KEEP GOING STRAIGHT. TODAY WHEN I GOT IN AND STARTED DRIVING MY CAR FLASHED A "STEERING FAILURE GET CHECKED" MESSAGE AND WAS EVEN HARDER TO DRIVE. I MADE IT TO MY APPOINTMENT AND WHEN I LEFT 30 MINUTES LATER AND TURNED MY CAR ON I HAD A NEW MESSAGE, "STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY". NOW I CAN'T EVEN MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 70 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY 2014 FORD FOCUS TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY CAR GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING ERRATIC MILEAGE AND BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD A RECALL. I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I TOOK IT IN. MY GAUGE STILL KEPT SHOWING ERRATIC MILEAGE.I WENT BACK 5 DAYS LATER TTO TELL THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I ASKED WHAT PROCEDURE THEY HAD DONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ONLY REPROGRAMMED A MODULE. I TOLD THEM IF THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD BUT THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL. THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME OUT AND IT TURNED OUT THAT MY CAR NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP, CANISTER PURGE VALVE, AND FUEL TANK. I TOLD THEM THAT THOSE THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO FORD INTERNAL SOMETHING AND FORD SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED AND THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY NOW. I MEAN HOW DOES A COMPANY LIKE FORD CAN BE SO UNPROFESSIONAL ABOUT SOMEBTING LIKE THIS. I MEAN PART OF THE RECALL IS TO TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO GET THOSE THINGS FIXED THAT THE FORD ASSEMBLY LINE FAILED TO ADDRESS WHEN MAKING THE MODEL. NOW I AM EVEN MORE SCARED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT GAS MILEAGE IT HAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. AFTERWARDS, THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHE PLACED IT IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HELFMAN FORD (LOCATED AT 2220 SOUTHWEST FWY, MEADOWS PLACE, TX 77477, (281) 240-3673) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,925. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT CALLED CROSSROADS FORD OF SOUTH BOSTON AT 434-572-6926 (LOCATED AT 1011 COMMERCE LN, SOUTH BOSTON, VA 24592) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, IT SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND THEN RESTARTED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY FAILED TWICE AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES. THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED TWICE BY BOB MAXEY FORD OF HOWELL (2798 E GRAND RIVER AVE, HOWELL, MI 48843, (517) 545-5700). THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE SAME OEM CLUTCH ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER; HOWEVER, A NEWLY DESIGNED OEM CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAD NOT YET BEEN DEVELOPED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED EVERY 10,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND SUGGESTED THAT THE SAME OEM CLUTCH ASSEMBLY BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *BF *TR

IN DECEMBER 2018 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY MY CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT WOULD NOT START EITHER UNTIL HOURS LATER. TOOK IT BACK TO FORD AFTER TELLING THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF A FUEL PUMP RECALL. I GOT A LETTER LATER THAT MONTH AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN TO FORD AND CHECKED OUT, SAYING THE PART WAS RECALLED IN OCTOBER. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED PRIOR AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO STALL ON HIGHWAY. THEN A FEW WEEKS AGO I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. WHENEVER MY FUEL IS KIND OF LOW THE CAR JUST STALLS AND I CAN'T START IT. I WAS ABLE TO GET GAS AND JUMP MY CAR AND GET IT HOME AND HAS BEEN FINE SINCE, BUT I WENT INTO FORD THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD THEM THAT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BACK IN DECEMBER WHEN THEY 'FIXED' MY VEHICLE THEY ACTUALLY JUST LOOKED AT IT AND SAID IT WAS FINE, BUT TOLD ME THEY REPLACED/FIXED THE PART. SO THE PART WAS NEVER FIXED OR RESOLVED. NOT TO MENTION I HAVE ONLY HAVE THIS CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017 AND HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED 3 TIMES AND NOW AM FEELING THE SIGNS OF IT FAILING AGAIN FOR THE 4TH TIME. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND UNPREDICTABLE AND FORD HAS LIED TO ME AND NOT INFORMED ME OF THE DANGERS OF THE VEHICLE I'M PAYING THEM FOR.

WHEN IN DRIVE DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND , CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING CAUSEING A A SERIOUS SAFTEY HAZARD AS THIS OCCURS WHILE CAR IS INMOTION .

TAKATA RECALL. MY TRANSMISSION AS ALWAYS BEEN FUNNY AND TWO DAYS AGO MY CAR STARTED TO ROLL BACK EVEN WHEN I WAS IN POSITION D. THEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED OVERHEATING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO AAMCO TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG AND THE MAN SAID THEY GET 2014 AND 2015 FOCUS CARS OFTEN. THE PARTS THEY NEED TO REPLACE ARE THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, SLAVE CYLINDER, AND TWO MECHANICAL ACTUATORS. ALONG WITH PRESSURE PLATE. I THINK THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON AND SOMEONE SHOULD KNOW. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION WOULD OVERHEAT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER SOMEWHERE REAL QUICK TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND LET IT COOL DOWN. THEN MY CAR WOULD BE HARD TO START AFTER THAT. I HAD TO DO THAT A FEW TIMES BEFORE I MADE IT TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP THAT DAY.

I WAS GIVING A P909C CODE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS HAVING A HARD TIME SWITCH GEARS

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANK FILLING STARTING AT THE END OF 2018. I ALSO STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY PRIOR TO THIS. I INFORMED THE DEALER OF THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF THE RECALL WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT (SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S32 /NHTSA RECALL 18V-735). THE DEALER COMPLETED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE GAS TANK STILL EXHIBITED ISSUES FILLING (WHICH ONLY EMERGED AROUND THE STALLING ' THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL). THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED, I RECEIVED A P1450 ERROR CODE RELATED TO AN EVAP CANNISTER ERROR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE REPAIR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALER (WHO HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL) STATED THAT FORD WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT TO THIS FOR THIS REPAIR. FORD, ON THEIR WEBSITE STATES, 'DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, CARBON CANISTER, FUEL TANK AND FUEL DELIVERY MODULE, AS NECESSARY. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THESE SERVICES.' FURTHER EFFORTS TO SPEAK TO FORD DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH BILLING THAT FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS. AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EVAP CANNISTER AT MY OWN EXPENSE ($331.39). THE P1450 CODE CAME BACK ON AFTER THIS REPAIR. THEREFORE THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ANY FURTHER RECALL RELATED REPAIRS WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO PROVIDE AP

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION HESITATION 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR AND CHARGE ME $175 DIAGNOSIS FEE. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF ITS CUSTOMERS. I KNOW I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WHEEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR HESITATE JERKS SHAKE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GOES.

WHENEVER ACCELERATING FROM BEING STOPPED (RED LIGHT, STOP SIGNS, ETC) THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND SLIPS BEFORE CHANGING GEARS. APPEARS TO HAPPEN WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT TO 2ND AND/ 3RD GEAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNING THE CAR. BOUGHT BRAND NEW.
