CAR FRONT END TOTALLED FRONT HEAD ON IMPACT AIR BAGS NON DEPLOYMENT. SPEED 55 60 MILES PERHOUR. INJURY ACCIDENT.

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME, EVEN AFTER THE LOCAL FORD DEALER REBUILT? THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOTICED THIS ONLY FROM ANY STOP, WHICH CAN BE AT A STOPLIGHT, STOP SIGN OR PARKING AREA. I CAN AND WILL GIVE TODAY'S MILEAGE BUT THAT IS INSUFFICIENT SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A PERPETUAL PROBLEM. AFTER THE LOCAL DEALER REBUILT? THE TRANSMISSION IT IS LESS BUT THE CAR HAS JUMPED THE CURB AT A FAST FOOD WHEN I WANTED TO SLIGHTLY MOVE THE CAR FORWARD, ALMOST HIT THE BUILDING.

THE RADIO AND CD IS NOT WORKING.

THE RADIO QUIT WORKING BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT MAKES INTERMITTENT POPPING NOISE SO LOUD IT HURTS YOUR EARS. IT EVEN DOES IT WITH NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION. AFTER INTERNET RESEARCH THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN MODELS SINCE 2012, MINE IS A 2015. IT IS MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT'S SO LOUD IT STARTLES HER WHILE DRIVING. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, STATIONARY, DRIVING, NO KEYS IN IGNITION AND RADIO WILL STILL WORK SOMETIMES WITH WHITE NOISE BUT THE POPPING SOUNDS LIKE IT IS FULL VOLUME. IT IS VERY STARTING AND SCARES ME ALSO.

DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AND MY 2015 FORD FOCUS WOULDN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. THEN A LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SERVICE NOW." I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE TO SAFETY BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION WITH 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR!

I WAS HEADING HOME PULL INTO DRIVEWAY AND CAR JUST CUT OFF AND NEVER START BACK UP I WAIT FOR A HOUR CAR STAYED BACK UP HEADED OUT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY PUT ON A HAND COMPUTER AND IT WAS CODED WITH INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE CALLED FIRE GAVE THEM THE VIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD NOT A RECALL AFTER A READ THE RECALLS FROM JULY 2019

CAR WOULD SHUTTER THAN STOP RUNNING WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION. THE OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ONLY ONCE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN FOR AWHILE, AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM WOULD KEEP ON HAPPENING THE LONGER THE CAR HAD BEEN ON, FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY TIME WE HAD TO STOP, SUCH AS AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR WOULD SHUTTER THEN SHUT OFF. ONCE, IT HAD SHUT OFF ON AN EXPRESSWAY AS I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON AN EXIT AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AGAIN FOR AN HOUR.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR IS FINE, HOWEVER WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STICK... THEN IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS DURING ACCELERATING AT LOWER SPEEDS (10-30MPH) AND CAN OCCUR DURING ACCELERATION WHEN A COMPLETE STOP HAS NOT BEEN MADE.

AFTER HAVING A RECALL DONE IN DECEMBER OF 2018 FOR THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, OR KNOW AS RECALL 18S32 ALL THAT WAS PERFORMED WAS A REPROGRAM AND NOTHING ELSE. A YEAR LATER MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65K MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICES AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR ANY REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE REGARDING THE PROBLEMS I'M EXPERIENCING, BECAUSE RECALL 18S32 WAS ALREADY PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER FUELING UP AND STARTING MY CAR THE CAR WILL ALMOST STALL OUT, AS WELL AS TRYING TO STALL WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. MY OBD SCANNER COMES UP WITH A FAULT CODE "P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM". A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM EVEN AFTER GETTING THE RECALL 18S32 PERFORMED ON THEIR VEHICLES. IT SEEMS LIKE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS PUT IN PLACE AND UNFORTUNATELY MANY PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING FROM IT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD RELEASE A PERMANENT FIX TO A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!

ON JUNE 15TH 2019 I WAS INVOLVED IN MY FIRST ACCIDENT. I WAS AT A STOP GOING STRAIGHT AND IN FRONT OF ME WAS A CAR TURNING TO GO SOUTH ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF ME. AS I WAS GETTING MY FIRST GEAR READY TO GO MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND I T-BONED THE PERSON TURNING. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND AFTER THIS ACCIDENT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR, I LOST TRUST IN FORD KEEPING ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS BUT WHEN I TAKE IT IN THEY SAY IT JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE OR SOMETHING ABOUT A FUEL TANK. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL IN REGARDS TO MY TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAY THAT THEY DON'T SHOW THAT IN THEIR SYSTEMS SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. NOW I'M HEARING ABOUT THE FORD EMPLOYEES SPEAKING OUT ON FAULTY CLUTCHES.

MY WIFE DROVE TO WORK, THE CAR FUNCTIONED FINE. WHEN SHE STARTED THE CAR AFTER WORK THE CAR COMPUTERS NOTIFIED HER THE STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM HAD FAILED. SHE NOTICED SHE COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL. SHE CALLED ME AND I ASKED HER TO ATTEMPT TO DRIVE HOME AND I WOULD LOOK INTO IT. I DISCOVERED THAT I COULD DO LITTLE BUT TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS.

I LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND THE STEREO IS POPPING VERY LOUDLY WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF , LOUD, LOW NOTHING SEEMS TO WORK BUT TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. THIS A EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD FROM BEING SCARED FROM THE POPPING NOTICES OUT OF NO WHERE TO MY HEARING ON THE ROAD WHICH IS A DANGER. I HAVE READ MANY MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS HAPPENING BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. I AM ALSO HAVE POWER ISSUES TO WHERE MY CAR JERKS AND SHUDDERS AFTER A COMPLETE STOP LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO TAKE OFF WHICH IT SHOULD NOT DO. I HAVE READ MANY DEFECTS ON THIS PROBLEM TOO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE TACHOMETER INCREASED TO 800 RPMS AND THEN DECREASED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED COCHRAN FORD (110 RTE 908 BUILDING 1, NATRONA HEIGHTS, PA 15065, (412) 245-4320) AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE DUE TO THE VAPOR LOCK SYSTEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR IS FINE, HOWEVER WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STICK... THEN IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SHUDDER. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME MY CAR HITS 1600RPMS.

WHEN I TOOK THE KEY OUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING WE PULLED THE IGNITION FUSE TO SHUT IT DOWN BUT ALL THE INSIDE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIKE THE CAR HAD DIED WE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY SO THE BATTERY WOULDN'T BE RUN DOWN I GOOGLED IT AND IT SAID THAT THERE CARS WERE RECALLED FOR A MICROSOFT PROBLEM I WONDERED IF MINE WAS INCLUDED IN THAT

STICKY CANISTER PURGE VALVE

VEHICLE IS SHUDDERING ON ACCELERATION IS DOING IT MORE OFTEN AND WORSE

RECALL #19N08. THE CAR HAS WHAT RECALL LETTER SAYS IS "A JUDDER OR SHUDDER ON LIGHT ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR DURING SHIFT EVENTS"; ALTHOUGH MINE IS NOT 'LIGHT'. SEVERAL TIMES UPON ENTERING A MAIN STREET FROM A SIDE STREET THE CAR SHUDDER'S SO BADLY I ALMOST GET HIT. WHEN DRIVING ON A TURNPIKE, I ACCELERATE, AND IT SHUDDERS. AT A STOP, IT SHAKES & SHUDDERS FOR 3 OR 4 CAR LENGTHS. IT'S NOT SAFE & IT'S GOTTEN WORSE SINCE I GOT THE CAR. MATTHEW'S FORD IN BROKEN ARROW, OK SAYS I DO NOT HAVE A CLEAN TITLE AND WHEN I CALLED THE OKLAHOMA COMMISSION DMV OFFICE, THEY SAY THE TITLE IS 'BRANDED'. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? AND, ONE OF THEM SAID THAT THE WARRANTY HAD BEEN CANCELLED, THEREFORE THERE CAN BE NO RECALL WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE SOME EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP LIED TO ME ABOUT THE FINANCING (HURTING MY CREDIT AND FINANCES) AND WE ENDED UP IN A LAWSUIT, WHICH WAS SETTLED. I WOULD HOPE THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING MEAN TO HURT ME FURTHER. DURING THE LAWSUIT THEY HAD PROVIDED ME WITH A TITLE, BUT IT WAS NOT NOTARIZED PROPERLY, AND I COULDN'T GET A TAG FOR ALMOST 9 MONTHS. WHEN WE SETTLED, I RECEIVED A GREEN TITLE EXACTLY LIKE I HAD ON OTHER CARS...SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT THAT HINDERS ME FROM A RECALL REPAIR. I'M 74 AND HAVE BOUGHT A LOT OF CARS AND THE TITLE LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OTHERS, NO NOTATIONS OR STAMPS ON IT OR ANYTHING. I EVEN LOOKED ON CAR-FAX AND TALKED TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER (A FEMALE COLLEGE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CAVALIER FORD GREENBRIER (1515 S MILITARY HWY, CHESAPEAKE, VA 23320, (757) 424-1111) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE KEY FOBS AND BATTERY WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

#1- ON AN INCLINE: AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, TRANSMISSION PERIODICALLY SHUDDERS AROUND 15-20 MPH WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. ALSO OCCURS FREQUENTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO 10 MPH FOR A SPEED BUMP, THEN ACCELERATING MODESTLY; USUALLY OCCURS IN 15-20 MPH RANGE. #2- AFTER TRANSMISSION HEATS UP (DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES), TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AFTER COMING ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN TURNING ONTO ADJACENT STREET AND ACCELERATING MODERATELY. AGAIN, MOST OFTEN OCCURS BETWEEN 15-20 MPH. #3- HILLSIDE ASSIST ON AN INCLINE: SOMETIMES TRANSMISSION HOLDS VEHICLE IN PLACE, SOMETIMES VEHICLE ROLLS BACK. #4- FROM A DEAD STOP, ENGINE BOGS DOWN A LITTLE UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION UNLESS GAS PEDAL IS STRONGLY DEPRESSED. VEHICLE PURCHASED SEPTEMBER 2019 FROM DEALERSHIP, MULTIPLE EVENTS (OVER TWO DOZEN) OCCURRED BEGINNING ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND CONTINUING OVER A THREE-MONTH (APPROXIMATELY 1,400 MILES DRIVEN) PERIOD.

EACH TIME YOU PUT GAS INTO THE VEHICLE IT WILL NOT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE ENGINE KEEPS TRYING TO START BUT IT WILL NOT KICK OVER. ALSO THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL MINUTES TO START BACK. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR REPLACED A SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK HOWEVER THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER DOING MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT FORD HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE 2.0 LITER FORD FOCUS

WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND SUDDENLY GAINS TRACTION. NOTICEABLE SLIPPING AND MISSED SHIFTS ARE ALWAYS OCCURING.

MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN I WAS SLAMMING FULL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A STORE, THANK THE LORD I HAD FULL COVERAGE AND IT ONLY DID COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, I'VE ALSO HAD TIMES WHERE IT WILL SAY THE TRACTION CONTROL IS OUT OR IT HAS NO UPHILL START, MY MODEL DOESN'T HAVE THAT. I WOULD LIKE A REFUND ON MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS ISSUES ALREADY.

THE VEHICLE CONTINUALLY SURGES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN IN REPEATEDLY AND I AM TOLD THAT THEY UPDATE SOFTWARE ON A MODULE. AM TOLD IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT BECAUSE IT IS IN LITIGATION THEY CAN'T REPLACE TRANSMISSION. I WANT A SAFE CAR. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY GRANDCHILDREN RIDE IN IT. DATE BELOW FOR EVENT DATE IS MOST RECENT.

WHILE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THE VEHICLES DPS6 DUAL-CLUTCH "POWERSHIFT" TRANSMISSION FAILED TO DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY CAUSING THE CAR TO REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. IMPACT WAS ROUGHLY 15-25 MPH.

I HAVE GOTTEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE VARIOUS RECALLS AND MY CAR STILL IS UNSAFE FIVE SEPARATE INSTANCES MY CAR HAS SLOWED TO NEAR STOPPING AND THREE OF THOSE INSTANCES WHERE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR OF THOSE THREE TIMES I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVE STAYED AND CONTINUED TO DRIVE ON THE RIGHT NEAR THE EMERGENCY LANE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE I HAVE THE SAME INSTANCE AND EVERY RECALL IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO CHECK ON IT AND EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY UNTIL IT'S TIME TO DRIVE AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL AND STOP. I'VE MADE A COMPLAINT BEFORE REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THERE IS STILL NO SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE THAT CAN END UP COSTING LIVES. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED DUE TO ITS UNSAFE CONDITION YET THE COMPANY REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH NO AIR BAY DEPLOYMENT.

MY CAR WAS PART OF A RECALL I TOOK IT TO FORD AND SUPPOSEDLY IT WAS A QUICK FIX TIL THEY COULD INVESTIGATE AND FIND AN ACTUAL FIX FOR IT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM FORD I STARTED CALLING THE DEALER AS WELL AS FORD THEMSELVES TO INFORM THEM THAT MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT AND THAT SOMETHING NEEDED TO B DONE DUE TO IT BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. ON NOV 28 2019 I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AND WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES AND AT THE MOMENT I DID THAT THE CARS DASH LIGHTS COMPLETELY LIT UP INCLUDING TRACTION LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD BEEN ILLUMINATED SINCE I GOT IT BACK FROM FORD, THE ABS LIGHT AND THE UP HILL PARKING LIGHT. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK OR STOP MY CAR IT SEEMED AS THOUGH MY CAR EITHER SHUT OFF OR JUST STOPPED RESPONDING TO ANY THING I TRIED TO DO TO GET IT UNDER CONTROL AND AVOID A CRASH, NOTHING WORKED. AS I GOT CLOSER TO THE INTERSECTION I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TURN THE WHEEL AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND TRIED APPLYING MY BRAKES, ALL THIS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH ME GOING OVER A CURB DOWN A DITCH INTO A RESERVOIR AND THEN I GOT BOUNCED BACK UP THE DITCH AND HIT A TREE WHICH FINALLY STOPPED MY CAR. MY CAR IS NOW TOTALED I'VE ONLY HAD OT FOR 17 MONTHS AND BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO FORD AND THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WASNT A FIX AVAILABLE, NOW I'M OUT OF MY ONLY CAR I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT DUE TO IT BEING FINANCED, AND STILL FORD DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. I'M LUCKY TO HAVE ONLY WALKED AWAY WITH MINOR YET PAINF

VEHICLE EXPERIENCES CLUTCH SHUDDERING ON LIGHT ACCELERATION. FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY BUT REFUSES TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AS THE SERVICE TECH ADVISES, AFTER DRIVING IT, THAT IT ISN'T SEVERE ENOUGH YET, PER FORD'S ARBITRARY STANDARDS. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE SHUDDER OCCURS WHEN FIRST STARTING OUT FROM A STOP. THE NORMAL REACTION WHEN THIS OCCURS IS TO GIVE IT MORE GAS, RESULTING IN MORE RAPID ACCELERATION THAN PLANNED OR NECESSARY. THIS MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON WET OR ICY ROADS. IT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD, BUT FORD REFUSES TO REPAIR IT, GAMBLING THAT I'LL SELL IT OR TIME ON THEIR EXTENDED 'WARRANTY' WILL RUN OUT BEFORE IT GETS BAD ENOUGH TO MEET THEIR ARBITRARY REPAIR THRESHOLD.

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 18S32. I WENT TO FORD WEBSITE TO CHECK IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER RECALLS SO I COULD THEM WHILE DONE I'M OUT OF TOWN. THE ONLY RECALL IT LISTED IS THIS ONE, BUT WEBSITE SAYS RECALL INCOMPLETE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN FORD OF WATERFORD (248-674-4781, LOCATED AT 6975 HIGHLAND RD, WATERFORD, MI 48327) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

12-2-2016 PURCHASE DATE. PURCHASE WAS DELAYED BECAUSE SANDIFAR'S HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR. CLUTCH PACK IS WHAT I REMEMBER BEING TOLD. 1-26-19 BREAK DOWN. DRIVING TO WORK ON A PAVED COUNTY ROAD AND GOT A 'TRANSMISSION OVERTEMP' ERROR (IT WAS IN THE TEENS TEMPERATURE-WISE OUTSIDE WITH SNOW ON THE GROUND). TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT FUNCTION FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN WOULD ONLY GO A MILE OR 15 BEFORE OVERHEATING AGAIN. FINALLY GAVE UP AT THE DINER AT HIGHWAY 9 AND HIGHWAY 26. HAD IT TOWED (PAID $200) TO HUBLER/DELLEN/MCCOY/WHATEVER IN MUNCIE. HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR TWO DAYS (I HAD IT FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS). THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE UNDER WARRANTY AND CHARGED ME $430.96 TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH ACTUATOR. AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IT STILL SLIPS. SEPTEMBER 2019 RECEIVE LETTER FROM FORD. HAD SOME WORK DONE AT ADAMS (ACROSS FROM WORK IN KOKOMO). THEY MENTION THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO BE SLIPPING. 11-11-19 TO IT TO BRAD HOWELL FORD IN KOKOMO. TALKED TO JEFF IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. HE MADE COPIES OF MY LETTER AND MY PAPERWORK FROM HUBLER. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK INTO WHAT CAN BE DONE AND CALL ME.

RECALL NOTICE WAS 'SOFTWARE' UPDATE TO DETECT HARDWARE ISSUE. NO ISSUE DETECTED. THE HARDWARE THAT HAD ISSUED FAILED 2 WEEKS LATER. FORD STATES THAT THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND CANNOT OPEN. THE EQUIPMENT (CANISTER VALVE) THAT THE RECALL WAS CREATED FOR FAILED.

CAR BEGAN SHUDDERING AND THEN WOULD NO LONGER SHIFT GEARS OR ACCELERATE WHILE GOING UP AN ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY. HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO ROLL OUT OF TRAFFICS WAY.

VEHICLE SHUTTERS VERY BADLY IN FIRST GEAR. FORD SENT OUT A LETTER IN SEPTEMBER EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO INCLUDE A FREE CLUTCH REPAIR, BUT DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OPTING TO 'UPDATE' THE SOFTWARE, WHICH DOES NOTHING.
