I GOT THE CLUTCH FIXED UNDER WARRANTY A FEW WEEKS AGO NOW THE CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH KEEPS HAPPENING IT HAPPENED BEFORE I KEEP TAKING IT IN TOO GET FIXED AND THE PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW. IT'S A BIG PROBLEM TOO HAVE FOR A NEW CAR ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD. IT STALLED OUT ON ME THE ENGINE LOSES POWER IT TURNED OFF ON ME I'M THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHICH IS DANGEROUS. IT DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY WHAT SO EVER AND I SUPPOSEDLY GOT THE PROBLEM FIXED. IT'S BECOMING A REAL BOTHER TOO DRIVE. I MAINTAIN THE CAR PERFECT TOO HAVE ALL THESE PROBLEMS. I BARELY MADE IT HOME IN A FEW OCCASIONS WITH THE STALLING AND THE UGLY SHIFTING. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND A REAL HASSLE TOO DRIVE, WHICH I KEEP REPAIRING ONLY TOO GET WORSE. I SUSPECT THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN WORKED ONLY TOO GET WORSE

THE CLUTCH ACTUATOR CIRCUIT-P0902 GAVE OUT AGAIN WITHIN A YEAR OF ITS LAST RECALL

MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS ARE REFUSING TO COMPLETE RECALL WORK (RECALL 18S32) ON MY 2015 FORD FOCUS SE. I HAVE THE PAPER THEY SENT ME DETAILING THE PROBLEMS, AND I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING, HOWEVER FORD SAYS THAT SINCE THEY "LOOKED AT" THE RECALLED PART ABOUT 6-8 WEEKS AGO, THEY CAN NO LONGER COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK AND THAT I WOULD BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE.

RECEIVED ERROR MESSAGE AND THEN STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. CAN'T GET IT UNLOCKED HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID STEERING SYSTEM FAILED AND IT'S NOT ON RECALL OR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WANT $2000 TO FIX IT.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT JUST STOPPED. WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. WE HAD THE MECHANIC COME TO THE HOUSE. THE CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. WE WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED. THE BATTERY WAS FINE. A WEEK LATER AND ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS WE'VE TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT DOESN'T START AT ALL. THE SAME MESSAGE CONTINUES TO APPEAR STARTING SYSTEM FAULT.

THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE NEEDED REPLACING.

MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HER 2015 FORD FOCUS HOME FROM COLLEGE AND HER POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. THE WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO DRIVE AND ERROR CAME ON THAT SAID 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT'. I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND SHE WAS ON 95 GOING 70.

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED, AND STOPPED, AND WOULD NOT START IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING THE LAST INCIDENT WHERE POLICE HAD TO ASSIST AT A RED LIGHT. SO TRAUMATIC, NOT DRIVEN SINCE AND CONTINUE TO PAY NOTES AND INSURANCE. HAVE HAD VECHILE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

DRIVER STATEMENT = ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 03:00(AM) I WAS DRIVING THE GOV TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON 72ND AVENUE PAST THE INTERSECTION OF PIERCE STREET. I NOTICED THE CABIN OF THE CAR STARTING TO FILL WITH SMOKE, THEN I NOTICED A SMALL FLAME UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. SO THEN I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. WHEN THE ARVADA POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, THEY HAD A SMALL FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHICH THEY TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE ARVADA FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NOT ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE OTHER THAN THE GOV.*DT *JS

WAS DRIVING ~75 MPH, GOT OFF HIGHWAY TO GET GAS (NO SIGNS OF ANY STEERING PROBLEMS). TURNED CAR BACK ON WARNING CAME ON, TURNED CAR BACK OFF AND ON AGAIN, WARNING STILL THERE. MOVE CAR TO PARKING SPOT FROM PUMP, NO POWER STEERING. HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING FOR SOME FORD FOCUSES BUT NOT FOR MY VIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION THE VEHICLE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE LOCAL DEALER LINDSEY FORD LOCATED AT 11250 VEIRS MILL RD, WHEATON, MD 20902 WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

HAVING PROBLEM WITH STEERING HARD TO STEER FEELS JERKY SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THE QUOTE THEY MADE DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I STILL AM PAYING ON THIS CAR ALSO PREVIOUSLY HAD WIRES CHEWED BY RODENT BECAUSE THE WIRES ARE SOY BASED MATERIAL AND CLUTCH PROBLEMS THAT WERE FIXED AFTER QUITE AWHILE EXPENSIVE AND VERY INCONVIENENT

THE CPV IS STUCK OPEN . DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP AND GAS TANK. YEARS MODELS FROM 2012 -2018 WITH SAME PROBLEM ARE ON THE RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT FOR SOME REASON. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO SHACK AND STALL OUT.

POWER STEERING FAILED ON 2015 FORD FOCUS. SAFETY ISSUE LOOSING STEERING CAPABILITIES DRIVING FROM ROAD INTO DRIVEWAY. STEERING ASSIST FAULTY MESSAGE APPEARED ON DASH. CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SAID NO RECALL ON DEFECTIVE STEERING. TOOK TO FORD. DEALER AND QUOTED ME $2573 TO REPAIR. LUCKILY MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS NOT TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY ON THIS DEFECTIVE STEERING ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED.

WHILE DRIVING HOME (FIVE HOUR ROAD TRIP) NOISES STARTED COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. FELT LIKE IT WAS IS BINDING AND GRINDING. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME, LATER ON CITY STREETS, WHEN TURNING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO SAVANNAH TIRE TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THE DX WAS RACK AND PINION. THEY COULD NOT REPAIR MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND THE FIRST OF JULY. MY STEERING NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON A FIVE YEAR CAR IS A PROBLEM, THIS MADE MY CAR UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. AT ANY TIME MY STEERING GEAR COULD HAVE WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT HURTING MYSELF OR OTHERS. I COULD HAVE DIED. FORD HAS HAD STEERING ISSUES IN THE PAST ON MY CAR. THE CAR HAS HAD THREE RECALLS. ONE FORD RECALLED ON THERE OWN (STEERING ISSUES). I HAD TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED ON MY OWN PAYING THE AMOUNT OF $2,457.70 PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS RECALL THIS, SO THAT FORD CAN TAKE RESPONSIBLY FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND THE RPM REVVED UP WHILE SWITCHING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION FORD MIAMI (16800 NW 57TH AVE, MIAMI, FL 33015, 305-707-0141) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

I WAS INSTRUCTED TO GO TO SERVICE CENTER WHEN MY FOCUS STARTS JERKING, STALLING, SHAKING, AND STALLING OUT. I HAVE BEEN AT TO MANY INTERSECTIONS WHEN MY CAR ALMOST STALLED OUT WHICH MADE ME FEAR OF MY SAFETY AND A FEW NEAR COLLISIONS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY AT LIGHTS AS WELL AS IN MOTION ON CITY HIGHWAYS AND ON T

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND PARKING, AFTER PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL WITH THE E BREAK ON AND PRESSING THE ENGINE START STOP BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BUT THE DISPLAY ON THE RADIO AFTER SITTING IN IT FOR A WHILE SAYS "TURN OFF IGNITION SAVING POWER" OR IF I GO TO GET IN THE CAR THE NEXT DAY IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DEAD THEN STARTS WITH EVERYTHING RESET

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING AND THE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. RIGHT BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUTOFF IT ACTED LIKE THE FUEL WAS VAPOR LOCKED AND THE ENGINE WAS NOT RECEIVING AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/2 TANK OF GASOLINE. MY CAR WAS FIXED LAST FALL BECAUSE OF A FUEL TANK RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND FLASHED THE TCM. BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND FLASHED THE TCM I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PRIOR TO THE DEALERSHIP FIXING THE DECAL. NOW WHENEVER MY VEHICLE GETS AT OR BELOW A HALF OF A TANK ON MY FUEL GAUGE IT ACTS LIKE IT'S STARVING FOR FUEL AND IS GOING TO DIE OUT.

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY FAILED AND MY VAN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO SECOND GEAR I'M ONLY DRIVING FIXED.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

WENT INTO A STORE, PARKED IN PARKING SPOT, CAME OUT, GOT IN CAR, PLACED CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF SPOT, CAR BEGAN TO BACK UP, THEN SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED WITH ENGINE STILL ON,. I THEN PLACED CAR IN DRIVE, WENT FORWARD, THEN ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT AGAIN, CAR BACKED UP, THEN SLOWED DOWN AGAIN, THEN JERKED REALLY HARD. AFTER WAITING FOR THE CARS PARKED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF ME TO LEAVE, I PLACED CAR IN REVERSE AGAIN, IT STOPPED AGAIN, I PLACED CAR IN DRIVE, CAR ACCELERATED SLOWLY, THEN GAVE A HARD JERK AGAIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD AND MAKE A COMPLETE CIRCLE, AND DRIVE FORWARD OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT A HALF A MILE HOME . UPON ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY, CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND STOPPED WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR SAT FOR 24HRS, I THEN TRIED TO START IT UP, IT STARTED UP, BUT WHEN I PLACED IT INTO REVERSE, IT DID NOT MOVE AT ALL.

ROUGH SHIFT STARTING AT 1ST AND GOING INTO SECOND THAT VIBRATE AND RATTLES ENTIRE CAR. THE BUCKLE MAKE IT SOUNDS LIKE BONES ARE BEING BROKEN . THIS HAPPENS DRIVING ANYWHERE AND CHANGING GEARS. STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IS THE WORSE. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE GOTTEN FROM FORD DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND AN ALERT POPPED UP ON MY DASH SAYING 'DRIVER ASSIST FAULT. REPAIR REQUIRED', IT WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN SINCE THEN AND THE FIRST OCCURRENCE ONLY HAPPENED YESTERDAY. AND AS WELL TO THAT MY TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A 6 SPEED IS STIFF AND STICKS A LOT WHERE I CAN'T CHANGE GEARS IMMEDIATELY.

CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO WRECKS. THIS RECALL HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE CAR COMPANY FAILED TO GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL.

MY CAR APPEARS TO OVER HEAT WHILE IDLED; SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WAITING IN A DRIVE THROUGH. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE OVER A YEAR AGO AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECALL TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND IT WAS FIXED. I RECEIVE A WARNING STATING THAT THE CAR IS TOO HOT PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WILL CUT OFF. I TURN OFF MY CAR FOR A MINUTE OR LESS AND IT RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS TAKES PLACE IF THE AC IS ON OR NOT.

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR SHUDDERING AND HESITATION, IT WAS WORKING FINE BUT LATELY THE PROBLEM IS BACK.

I HAD MY FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES SO FAR. AS OF TODAY, THE CAR IS STILL STALLING AND JERKING. I SCHEDULED A SERVICE MAINTENANCE TODAY. BUT, I WAS TURNED DOWN BY TODD ( SERVICE REP) AND BOB (SERVICE MANAGER) BECAUSE THE LEVEL OF EFFECTIVENESS WAS NOT AMOUNTED TO 250. THEREFORE, THEY RECOMMEND THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR AS IS AND RISK MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN $3000.

EVERY 4 DAYS THE STEREO DROPS THE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION. THOUGHT MAYBE IT NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEN I NOTICED MY MPG WAS ONLY AT 13.3MPG WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED MY DISTANCE TO E WOULD SOMETIMES READ 415 MILES AFTER FILLING UP THEN IT WOULD SAY 226 OR EVEN 183. AM I MISSING SOMETHING HERE? CONTACTED A COUPLE OF FORD DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE MY WARRANTY & EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED ( MIND YOU THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD) STARTING TO HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND FORD WANTS TO CHARGE ME TO EVEN LOOK AT IT. IF I AM WRONG PLEASE SOMEONE EDUCATE ME. ALSO RESETTING THE SYNC SYSTEM HELPS WITH THE BLUETOOTH PROBLEM BUT I ALSO HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR 30 SECONDS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF WHILE EXITING THE RAMP NEARLY CAUSING ME TO VEER INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY HAS HAD A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT ALONG WITH A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION... I WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THAT DAY AS I WAS TERRIFIED. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO FORD DEALER AND THE HAVE SAID IT NEEDED A STEERING RACK REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $2000 I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AT THIS TIME FOR REPAIR SO I HAD TO DRIVE IT ONCE MORE TO TAKE IT HOME , WHICH WAS ANOTHER SCARY ORDEAL.. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE SEEMS TO AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH STEERING.. I HAVE ATTACHED THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND ALSO A SUMMARY ON PREVIOUS WORK DONE. *TR

TRUNK OPENS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FOCUS THAT I GOT FINANCE THROUGH MARIN COUNTY FORD, APRIL 2017. I HAVE TAKEN MAY CAR TO MARIN COUNTY FORD AND RECENTLY HILLTOP FORD REGARDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR CITY/HIGHWAY IT SHUDDERS, HAS SLOW SPEED, SHIFTING GEARS, RUNNING HOT AND WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO HILLTOP FORD AND THEY DIDN'T FIX THE TRANSMISSION. THEY BROKE THE COOLANT TUBE AND CHARGE ME TO FIX IT. THE ISSUES HAVE NOT BEING RESOLVED AS OF MAY 21, 2020 MY CAR IS UNDRIVABLE AND I HAVE TO REGISTER IT NEXT MONTH BY JULY 7, 2020 AS NON OPERABLE. HILLTOP FORD REFUSE TO HONOR THE RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

IT SOUNDS AS IF A BOLT HAS COME LOOSE INSIDE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT ROLLS FORWARD AND BACK WITH EVERY ACCELERATION AND STOP. IT HAPPENED WHEN I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SHOP TO HAVE THEM REPAIR THE CLUTCH THAT HAD BEEN RECALLED. IT DIDN'T DO IT WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF, BUT IT WAS DOING IT WHEN I PICKED IT UP. *TR

MY 1.0L FOCUS HAD A DEFECTIVE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND SUFFERED FROM STALLING AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN 18V735000. THE ACTIVE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND LOCAL FORD DEALER DIAGNOSIS CONFIRMED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE HAD FAILED. THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO PAY FOR MY LOCAL DEALER TO REPLACE THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE OUT OF POCKET SINCE MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED RECALL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER 1.0L FOCUS OWNERS THAT HAVE SAID THEIR CANISTER PURGE VALVES HAVE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ONLINE FORUMS.. *TR

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THE CAR WITH THE SHUDDERING WHEN COMING OFF OF A COMPLETE STOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY TIRES. I HAVE GOTTEN ALL NEW TIRES AND IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM NOT SOLVED. THEN MY CAR STARTED TO HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO ONE DAY OUT OF NO WHERE MY SPEAKERS STARTED TO BE STATICKY. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS STATIC AND VERY LOUD POPPING NOISE ALMOST MAKING ME GET INTO AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT IS SO LOUD. I HAVE TO PULL OVER EVERY 10 MINUTES AND SHUT THE CAR OFF WITH MOST OF THE TIME THE NOISE STILL GOING WITH THE CAR OFF. NOW I CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON MY RADIO SCREEN OTHER THAN THE DATE AND TIME WITH A BLACK SCREEN. I HAVE THE RADIO AND SCREEN OFF AND THIS LOUD POPPING / STATIC NOISE IS UNSAFE TILL THIS DAY. DUE TO THE PROBLEM I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND IN PERSON ABOUT IT BUT NOTHING IS DONE. *TR

TRAMS. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILED. MY GRANDSON PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND A WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WE DISCOVERED IT WAS THE POWER STEERING. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS WE HAD BEEN RUNNING ERRANDS ALL DAY. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. VEHICLE STALLED. PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTORED CAR. GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE DRIVING CAR STALLED AGAIN. RESTARTED PULLED TO SIDE ROAD AND WHILE DRIVING STALLED AGAIN. *TR

WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AT IDLE, THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. THERE IS NO INCREASE IN RESISTANCE. WHEN DRIVING THE POWER ASSIST INTERMITTENTLY WILL FAIL. IT SEEMS TO GO ON AND OFF AS YOU DRIVE AT 35-45 MPH ON CITY STREETS. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE CURVES IN THE ROAD. I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY FASTER AS I AM CONCERNED IF IT FAILS UNEXPECTEDLY AT HIGHER SPEED, IT WILL RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE 2011-2014 VEHICLES WERE RECALLED BUT THIS MODEL YEAR WAS NOT.

VEHICLE STALLS, HIGH AND ERRATIC IDLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND INDEPENDENTLY RESTARTED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE STOUT ROSS FORD LOCATED AT 325 WINTER SHOW RD, WINTER SHOW, ND 58072, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

THE DRAIN PLUG FOR THE B6 6-SPEED TRANSMISSION COMES LOOSE AND CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO BLEED OUT. CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BURN UP. THIS IS A FACTORY SHIELD SYSTEM NO WAY TO CHECK FLUID LEVEL. APPARENTLY THE FLUIDS LEAK WHILE TRAVELING. *TR

WHEN IDLING FOR SO LONG THE CAR JUST DIED. I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE ALARM WENT HAYWIRE. THEN I HAVE TO WAIT 20 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN RESTART THE CAR. NOTHING WILL WORK AFTER IT DOES THIS UNTIL IT'S ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. IT'S BEEN AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION ISSUE, SAID THAT SHOULD FIX IT, BUT IT STILL KEEPS ON. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS THE RADIO. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS ELECTRICAL BECAUSE SOMETHING LEAKED FROM THE RADIO AREA, BURNING THE CAR INTERIOR NEAR THE RADIO. RADIO STARTED MAKING A POPPING NOISE BEFORE THE BURN. KNOW THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK IN THE OFF POSITION RADIO STILL POPS. SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF SAFETY. DATE MAY BE WRONG...BUT ON FILE FORD DOUGLASVILLE THORNTON ROAD. *TR

THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WE LIVED IN THE DESERT AT THE TIME (PHOENIX METRO/SAN ANTONIO TO BE EXACT); YET WHEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR WORK THE MECHANIC HAD FOUND EXTENSIVE RUST DAMAGE TO EVERYTHING. PAID OUT-OF-POCKET FOR A NEW STEERING COLUMN AND REBUILT TRANSMISSION. NOW, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE RADIATOR COMPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT SOMEWHERE THERE IS DAMAGE BECAUSE ONCE WE ARE DONE DRIVING FOR A BIT, THE ENTIRE RESERVOIR WILL LEAK OUT ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

TRANSMISSION- WAS DENIED SERVICE FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT DUE TO MILEAGE OVER 100,000. THOUGH I FILED COMPLAINT AT 90,000 MILES. ALSO, TRANSMISSION LEAKS DUE TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION. UNSAFE DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. FUEL- FUEL TANK WAS REPAIRED BY CERTIFIED SERVICE DEALER, SINCE THE REPAIR I'VE BEEN STRANDED 7X DUE TO UNABLE TO GET FUEL. HALF TANK OF GAS TRAVELING HIGH SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE WITH TRAFFIC AND CAR SHUTS OFF, I LOSE ABILITY TO CONTROL VEHICLE. 3X I'VE BARELY AVOIDED COLLISION. SINGLE MOM, ONE VEHICLE. SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING LOCALLY AND ON A STRAIGHT ROAD AT 50 MILES/HR, I SUDDENLY LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY. I WAS ALSO NOTIFIED VIA THE DASHBOARD COMMUNICATION SYSTEM "STEERING LOSS - STOP SAFELY". I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND EVENTUALLY BACK HOME. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER TO BE TOLD THIS HAPPENS AND WOULD BE AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I ALSO RESEARCHED AND SEE THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH FORD AND CHEVY VEHICLES. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITY - SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WE ARE TALKING THE INABILITY TO CONTROL A 2000 POUND SLEDGEHAMMER WHEN THIS OCCURS.

CLUTCH WENT OUT AND WRECKED
