2014 Ford Focus complaints

AS STATED IN OTHER COMMENTS WIPER WORK FOR A BIT THEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. I HAVE HAD THE MOTOR REPLACED AND WIPERS BY A FORD DEALER. THIS ISSUE IS A BIG PROBLEM WHEN IT RAINS. THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING WRONG; BUT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE WIPERS. WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF NOT CORRECTED. SEEMS MANY OTHERS STATE THE SAME PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PARK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SMITH FORD (LOCATED AT 908 E OAK ST, CONWAY, AR 72032, (501) 329-9881) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,914.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, INDICATING TO WAIT FIVE MINUTES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR REPRODUCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. JOE MYERS FORD (LOCATED AT 16634 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77040, (713) 766-3600) WAS CONTACTED VIA TELEPHONE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE WHEELS. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE WOULD REV BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY AS A RESULT OF THIS TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

WE GOT IN THE CAR AND TURNED IT ON AND ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER. EVENTUALLY IT STARTED AFTER A COUPLE OF TURNS OF THE KEY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PUT SHIFTER IN REVERSE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. ACTED AS IF WAS STILL IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. ONCE IN DRIVE HARD SHIFTING INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEAR AS IT'S DONE IN THE PAST. FIRST TIME THE TCM WAS REPLACED AND SECOND TIME THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. ALL WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME WITH THE TRANSMISSION ACTING UP. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE! UNFORTUNATELY IT'S THE ONLY VEHICLE I HAVE AND IS MY FAMILIES TRANSPORTATION. SHOULD BE MY SECOND COMPLAINT. FIRST TIME WAS THROUGH FORD MOTOR COMPANY OVER THE PHONE.

OFTEN WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN, AND I HAVE THE WIPERS ARE ON "LOW" OR "HIGH", AFTER SOME TIME (NOT PARTICULARLY CONSISTENT, SOMETIMES WITHIN A MINUTE, SOMETIMES AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES) THEY WILL START WORKING INTERMITTENTLY INSTEAD. THAT IS, THE WIPER WILL BE ON, AND THEN THEY WILL START PAUSING WHILE AT THE BOTTOM BETWEEN WIPER CYCLES, JUST AS THOUGH IT WAS SET TO INTERMITTENT, EVEN THOUGH THE WIPER SETTING HASN'T BEEN CHANGED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I CAN SWITCH THE WIPER SETTING TO ANOTHER SETTING AND THEN BACK, AND THEN IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN FOR A WHILE. THAT IS, IF IT'S ON "LOW" AND THIS STARTS HAPPENING, I CAN SWITCH THE WIPERS TO "INTERMITTENT" AND BACK TO "LOW", OR TO "HIGH" AND BACK TO "LOW", AND IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL "LOW" OPERATION FOR A WHILE (UNTIL THE PROBLEM REPEATS). THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN LOWER GEARS, IT SUDDENLY BEGAN TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. CORWIN FORD OF SPRINGFIELD (3241 S. GLENSTONE AVE, SPRINGFIELD, MO) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN 2016 AND THE CLUTCH AND CONTROL MODULE WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2014 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK FROM ELLIOTT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN CARTHAGE TEXAS NOT KNOWING I WAS BUYING A VEHICLE WITH A ACTIVE SAFETY RECALL. WAS TOLD BUY THE SALESPERSON THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO FIX THEM PRIOR TO SELLING IT. AND I WAS DRIVING HOME 11 DAYS AFTER GETTING THE CAR AND IT STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY IN THE LEFT LANE AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I SENT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER YOU TRIED TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME AGAIN TELLING ME THAT THEY DROVE IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON ANYMORE AND WE LOOKED UP YOUR WEBSITE TO SEE IF THE CAR HAD AN ACTIVE RECALL WHICH IT DID. WE REFUSED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK UNLESS THEY FIXED THE RECALL. SO THEY SAID THEY WERE SENDING THE CAR TO EXCEL FORD IN CARTHAGE TEXAS. THAT THEY HAD CALLED THEM AND VERIFY THE RECALL IN WHICH WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL FROM THE PAPERWORK FROM THE DEALERSHIP GIVING US THE WEBSITE. THE SERVICE TECH CALLED AND SAID HE CALLED FORD VERIFYING THE RECALL AND THAT THE PARTS FOR FIXING THE RECALL WE'RE ON BACKORDER AND COULD TAKE QUITE A WHILE. A DAY LATER ELLIOTT DODGE OF CARTHAGE CALLED US BACK WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND SAID THEY HAD THE CAR BACK THE RECALL WAS FIXED. ALONG WITH THE PIECE OF PAPER STATING IT WAS FIXED BUT NOT HOW. AND NOW A WEEK LATER IF THAT AND THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND DID THE SAME THING IT DID BEFORE THE RECALL WA

I BOUGHT MY CAR WITH 70,000 MILES ON IT (NOT FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP) ABOUT 10 MONTHS AGO AND FROM DAY ONE I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHUDDER WHEN TAKING OFF. NOW I'M AT 86,000 MILES AND THE SHUDDERING IS BECOMING MORE VIOLENT AND MY CAR SEEMS TO BE BOGGING DOWN FREQUENTLY AND IS VERY SLOW TO TAKE OFF. AFTER BRINGING MY CAR TO FRAMINGHAM FORD IN FRAMINGHAM MA I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH BUT I WAS NOT UNDER THE EXTENDED MANUFACTURER WARRANTY AND THE FIX WOULD BE $1,800! THE GUY I SPOKE WITH AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO CALL FORD AND TELL THEM THE SITUATION BECAUSE THIS IS AN VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF. I CALLED FORD AND SPOKE WITH A WOMAN THAT TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME AND I SHOULD KEEP MY RECEIPTS FROM ANY FUTURE FIXES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND HOPE THAT FORD SENDS OUT REFUNDS.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. IT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT RANDOMLY. WE DROVE OUR FORD FOCUS TO A FRIENDS HOUSE, TURNED IT OFF, HUNG OUT WITH THEM, AND WHEN WE TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, IT SAID WE NEEDED TO GET THE STEERING SERVICED. IT'S VERY HARD TO STEER AND MAKE TURNS AT LOW MPH

I OWN A A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY. WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE OVER AND UNDER ACCELERATED AND THEN HESITATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MANUAL CLUTCH, POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE, AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE TOTAL COSTS IS $1,590. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID NOT CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD DOOR ISSUES WHERE THE DOOR WOULD OPEN UNEXPECTANTLY, THE TRANSMISSION HAS CAUSED HYDROPLAINING AND HAS ALSO CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL ON THE FREEWAY. EVEN THOUGH THEY FIXED THE TRANSMISSION THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED AND INSIST ON BEING A CONTINUAL ISSUE. NOW THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL RECALL FOR DECEMBER AND THAT IS CPV. WHEN I CONTACTED FORD IN ORDER TO HAVE A REFUND OR BE ABLE TO RETURN THE CAR AND SWITCH IT OUT FOR SOMETHING ELSE... I WAS TOLD NO THERE WASN'T AN OPTION TO DO SO. IS THIS TRUE THAT I HAVE TO JUST CONTINUE GOING ALONG WITH THE CAR AND CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE TYPES OF ISSUES THROUGH THE LIFEBLOOD OF THIS VEHICLE?

LIGHTS ARE ON. POWER WINDOWS. FUEL TANK DEFORMATION. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAYING I HAVE TO PAY $800 SOMETHING DOLLARS FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THE OTHER PROBLEM HE IS SAYING. UNTIL NOW I STILL DON'T HAVE A CAR. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR OR HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THIS DEFECTS PUTS MY LIFE AND THE OTHER PERSON IN DANGER AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE COMPANY DEFECTS? I CALLED 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS ABOUT IT. DOING MY OWN RESEARCH WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. TAKE NOTE: THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT SEEN OR TOUCHED MY CAR. I JUST SIMPLY STATED WHAT HAPPENED.

I PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FOCUS USED WITH 86K MILES, UPON TAKING DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE WE NOTICED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR JERKS AND BUCKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED QUICKLY WITHOUT WARNING EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DARCARS FORD LANHAM (LOCATED AT 9020 LANHAM SEVERN RD, LANHAM, MD 20706, (301) 459-1100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND.

BOTH COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,166.

(1) I SCHEDULED SERVICE AT DARCARS FORD LANHAM MD FOR 9/11/18 FOR POOR DRIVING & EXTREMELY POOR GAS MILEAGE (WAS FILLING UP ABOUT 2X/WEEK INSTEAD OF 1X/2 WEEK). CAR HAD 53,166 MILES, & NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. DARCARS DID A TUNE-UP WHICH DID NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE GAS MILEAGE. (2) I SCHEDULED SERVICE FOR 9/18/18.

THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER APPROXIMATELY THIRTY MINUTES.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN SUDDENLY THE BACKSEAT DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENED. THERE WAS A PASSENGER THAT WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT AFTER THE EVENT BUT LUCKILY NOBODY WAS HURT.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUES AND FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE ON FIXING IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND "STEERING FAILED PULL OVER" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD BECOME STUCK IN BETWEEN GEARS, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HARRIS FORD LINCOLN (20006 64TH AVE W, LYNWOOD, WA 98036) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS SHUDDERS AND JERKS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RESUME DRIVING AFTER A SLOW DOWN, AND I AM SCARED THAT I WILL GET HIT BECAUSE MY CAR CANNOT ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH. THIS HAPPENED RECENTLY IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I WAS FORTUNATE TO ESCAPE BEING HIT AT THE LAST MINUTE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS IN HOUSTON FOR THEM TO CHECK IF THE CAR IS PART OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST, I DO NOT THINK THIS IS FAIR SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.

MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER 18S32 FOR A POTENTIAL STUCK EVAP PURGE VALVE CAUSING EXCESSIVE VACUUM IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. AS MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FAILED PART AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL SERVICE, ONLY A PCM UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE, THE PURGE VALVE FAILED AND CAUSED RANDOM STALLS OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. FORD CLAIMS THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND I, THE CONSUMER, AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, EVEN WITH THE ORIGINAL PART, SUBJECT TO THE RECALL 18S32, WAS THE FAULT FOR THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE RE-OPENED ON ALL THE VEHICLES THAT DID NOT HAVE THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED AND THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO PREVENT FUTURE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FOX FORD LINCOLN (2501 N ELSTON AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60647, (773) 687-7800) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH WAS REPLACED THREE TIMES AND THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE WAS REPAIRED ONCE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH REPAIRED A FOURTH TIME. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,286.

MULTIPLY SAFETY RECALLS AND I TOOK TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, BUT DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO DO OR TO FIX MY CAR. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. CODE READER HAS 2 CODES 1450 AND 144A. NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, BUT DEALERSHIP FILED A FALSE REPORT STATING THE RECALLS WERE ALREADY DONE. IT IS NOT THE CASE. THE ONLY RECALL THAT WAS DONE WAS FOR THE DOOR LATCHES. THE PURSE VALVE AND FUEL SENSORS STILL NEED TO BE FIXED.

TWO DIFFERENT INCIDENTS: (3/13/18) WHILE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE LIGHT CAME ON "STEERING ASSIST FAULT - SERVICE REQUIRED". AFTER THAT, PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TURNING BACK ON. AFTER RESTARTING, THE STEERING WORKED OKAY AGAIN. HAD THIS LATER CHECKED BY ASTORIA FORD, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG (EVEN AFTER RUNNING THE CODES). THEN ON 3/15/19, GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME EVEN AFTER STOPPING AND RE-STARTING THE ENGINE (WAITING @ 5-10 MINUTES) THE LIGHT REMAINED ON AND THERE WAS NO STEERING. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE IS AT A ASTORIA AAMCO GETTING CHECKED THOROUGHLY BY A VERY COMPETENT, HIGHLY EXPERIENCED MECHANIC TO GET THIS RESOLVED FOR OUR SAFETY.

AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN FIRST GEAR BECAUSE IT'S A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND MOVING FORWARD. MY CAR ISNOT LOCKING AND I GO SOMETIMES UPWARDS OF 100 FEET OR MORE BEFORE IT SHOWS THAT THE CAR IS LOCKED. BUT I AM NOT HEARING THE CAR LOCK LIKE IT SHOULD. IT DOES THE SAME THING IN REVERSE.

CAR SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THROUGH THE 1ST GEAR. HAD SOFTWARE RESET AND CLUTCH REPLACED, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE, AND AS I UNDERSTAND, I CAN HAVE THE SOFTWARE RESET AND CLUTCH REPLACED 2 MORE TIMES, AND THEN POSSIBLY GET SOME MONETARY ABATEMENT IF IT'S STILL NOT FIXED.

EVERY TIME MY FORD FOCUS SHIFTS FROM 1ST-2ND OR 2ND-3RD THE ENTIRE CAR NOT ONLY SHUTTERS BUT ITS EXTREMELY SLUGGISH AND SEEMS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT. (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHT LIT ON MY DASH AND THE CAR BARELY HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD 35,000 MILES AND THE PROBLEM EXISTED THEN AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. YESTERDAY I WAS AT A YIELD SIGN TO ENTER THE ROUND ABOUT NEAR MY HOUSE AND WHEN I PRESSED THE GASS MY CAR SHUTTERED HORRIBLY AND ONLY WENT FORWARD A FEW FEET, I WAS NEARLY STRUCK BY A TRUCK THAT HAD TO SUDDENLY SWERVE TO KEEP FROM HITTING US. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. WHEN I PRESSED IT AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH MORE FORCE, IT SHUTTERED AND JERKED SO HARD IT FORCEFULLY THREW MY HEAD BACK AGAINST THE SEAT! MY 5YR OLD DAUGHTER THAT WAS IN THE BACK SEAT WAS CRYING UNCONTROLLABLY, SCARED BECAUSE WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK! THE SEATBELTS IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAR, HAVE CAME UNBUCKLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE MY 2YR OLD AND 5YR OLD CHILDREN WERE IN THEIR CARSEATS. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO REBUCKLE THEM IT TAKES ABOUT 15- 20 MINUTES OF MY CONSISTENTLY TRYING TO GET THE BUCKLE TO LATCH ONTO THE SEATBELTS!

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHUTTERING, FOLLOWED BY ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS, ONCE DECELERATING AT A RED LIGHT, ONCE ACCELERATING WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, SHE HAS NOT YET BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS SERVICED AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN 12/2018. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE THEN. THIS PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT UNDER A RECALL ALTHOUGH WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES OTHER FORD FOCUS 2014 RECALLED VEHICLES HAVE REPORTED.

MY FORD FOCUS DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH BAILED. THE DOOR LATCH WAS RECALLED AND I HAD ALL THE DOORS FIXED FROM THE RECALL. THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE AND LATCH PROPERLY. I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR SHUT TO GET BACK HOME. I WENT TO THE FORD DEALER LATER THAT DAY AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE DIDN'T HAVE THE PART BUT HE WAS TRYING TO GET PERMISSION TO SEPARATE THE 4 PACK OF LATCHES AS PART OF THE RECALL. IF MY CAR WAS FIXED AS PART OF THE RECALL, WHY DID THE LATCH FAIL? THEY WERE ABLE TO SEPARATE THE FOUR PACK OF LATCHES AND FIX MY CAR, BUT I'M CONCERNED THIS COULD HAPPEN TO OTHERS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME PART OF THE LATCHES.

30 MPH CAR CRASH, IN A CITY ENVIRONMENT. THE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY NOR DID MY SEAT BELTS LOCK DURING HARD BRAKING, AS I CRASHED INTO A TRUCK. MY BODY WENT FORWARD AND MY HEAD STRUCK THE STREERING WHEEL, RESULTING IN A CONCUSSION. I PROVIDED A PHOTO OF THE CRASH AND HAVE MORE INCLUDING PHOTOS OF INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
