MY 2015 FORD FOCUS STARTED SHUDDERING IN ITS SHIFTING ABOUT A A YEAR AFTER I GOT THE CAR USED IN 2018, IT'S ALOT WORSE NOW. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWICE AND WAS REFUSED...THEY DID A RESET OF SOME SORT BEFORE THEY TEST DROVE IT AND IT DIDNT SEEM TO SHUDDER LIKE IT DOES WITH ME, THE FORD EMPLOYEE EXPLAINED TO ME MY CAR DIDNT QUITE MEET THE MARK TO WHERE THEY CAN OFFER ME THE REPAIR. AFTER THIS I THOUGHT ALRIGHT HE RESET SOMETHING AND NOW MY CAR IS A LITTLE BETTER...COUPLE HUNDRED MILES LATER IT'S BACK REAL BAD FROM START TILL 3RD GEAR EVERY GEAR SHUDDERING AND STUDDERING JUMPING SHAKING VIOLENTLY, I TOOK IT BACK TO THEM, SAMETHING...IF I DO THIS AGAIN I'LL GET IT IN WRITING THAT FORD STATES MY VEHICLE IS FINE AND GO AHEAD AND GET A LAWSUIT GOING.

THE PUSH OPEN GAS COVER WON'T OPEN LEAVING ME STRANDED AT GAS STATION.

THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SHIFTING GEARS PROPERLY. WE TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT IT IS A COMPUTER PROBLEM. THE ONLY THING THAT CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM IS A MASTER RESET. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THAT IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FIXED AND THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR HAS BEEN OCCASIONALLY STUTTERING AND OVERHEATING AT LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS. FORD HAS AN EXTENDED /TSB FOR THE TRANSMISSION REGARDING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO SERVICE MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT FALL WITHIN THE MILEAGE AND YEAR. REASON IS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT LAST YEAR WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVETRAIN AND THEY HAVE CANCELLED ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING THE CAR.

DRIVING ENGINE WILL STALL AND ENGINE WON'T START IF YOU GET GAS. PURGE VALVE IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AND THERE ISN'T A RECALL CURRENTLY ON THIS CAR BUT ON OTHERS 2012-2018 FOCUSES.

HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX]. I AM EMAILING YOU BECAUSE I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM/CONCERN. MY CAR HAD A RECALL ON SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION. SO IN APRIL OF 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO THE SHOP AT CARMEN FORD IN NEWCASTLE, DE WHERE I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM. WHEN I TOOK IT THERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THE RECALL HAD CAME ON AND IT WAS JERKING. THEY CLAIM THEY FIXED IT. WELL IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE SAME CODE AND WAS JERKING AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO CARMEN FORD. THEY HAD MY CAR THREE WEEKS AND THEY SAID ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS RESET TWO THINGS THAT WEREN'T MATCHING UP. THE SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP I HAD TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE IT WAS STILL JERKING. THEY HAD MY CAR TWO IN A HALF MORE WEEKS THAN CALLED ME AND SAID THAT 4 TECHS DROVE MY CAR AND THEY HAD NO PROBLEM AND IT WASN'T JERKING. SO I WENT UP THERE AGAIN ON JANUARY 13,2020 AND DID A RIDE TEST WITH BILL WHO AT THIS TIME HAD NOTICED THE JERKING MY CAR WAS DOING THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. WE TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO CARMEN FORD WHERE HE SAID HE WILL LET THE TECHS NO IT'S JERKING NOW. TWO DAYS LATER HE CALLED ME AND SAID THE TECH DID A SHUTTER TEST AND IT'S NORMAL. HE SAID THAT SOMETIMES FORD CARS DO THE JERKING AND THAT IT IS NORMAL. I EXPLAINED TO THEM IT HAS ONLY DONE IT THESE TWO TIMES THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THIS RECALL THING. HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO AND MY CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP. I PICKED UP MY CAR ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 15,2020. WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT WA

I FOUND ON LINE TONIGHT THAT THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS STATES THAT THE RECALL STAYS OPEN FOR EIGHT YEARS. IT'S ONLY BEEN 5 YRS. SINCE THE CALL WAS BUILT.
