2015 Ford Focus complaints

THE FORD FOCUS RECALL FOR THE FUEL TANK DEFORMATION IS NOT ACCURATE. THE RECALL LETTER WE RECEIVED SAID TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST 1/2 TANK OF FUEL, BUT MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND AT TURNAROUNDS DESPITE HAVING A FULL TANK. THE SOLUTION TO THIS WAS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED FOR DECEMBER 2018 AND HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019. FORD NEEDS TO BE FURTHER PRESSURED TO FIND A SOLUTION NOW AS THIS POSES A MAJOR CRASH RISK. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I'VE BEGUN NOTICING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL MAKING A NOISE. UPON TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING RACK AND PINION HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME MODEL HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THEIR STEERING BECOMING UNUSABLE. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS AS WELL.

I HAVE ALREADY FIXED A RECALL THAT I JUST RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF VIA POSTAL MAIL. I WILL UPLOAD A PIC OF THE RECALL LETTER AND A PIC OF THE RECEIPT THAT THIS SERVICE WAS ALREADY COMPLETED PRIOR TO THE NOTIFICATION. I HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR WAS NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY PRIOR TO THE REPAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR DUE TO IT IS A RECALLED PART. THANK YOU. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP AT [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. ALMOST EVERYDAY WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR, IT STALL, SLIPPED OR DOESN'T WANT TO GO AT TAKE OFF. THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIME WHERE I PRESS THE GAS TO GO WHILE IN DRIVE AND IT WON'T GO AND ACTS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN IN CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION IS HORRIBLE. IT'S THE DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE EVEN SENT OUT A LETTER STATING THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND IF YOU HAVE HAD IT SERVICES 3 OR MORE TIMES, YOU CAN GET CASH OR REPLACEMENT CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GO GET IT CHECKED OUT 3 TIMES AND I ALSO DON'T REALLY NEED TO BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

THE "DRY" CLUTCH WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING UPHILL, REDUCING MY MOVEMENT TO A JERKING, STUTTERING MOTION THAT JUST BARELY ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE TO DEALERSHIP. THIS CLUTCH FAILURE FOLLOWS MONTHS OF STUTTERING, JERKING AT LOW SPEEDS AS IF THE CAR WOULD STALL. TAKING THE CAR FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE FOUND "NOTHING WRONG." THIS CLUTCH HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE AT ONLY 26,700 MILES .FOCUS HAD 68,000 MILES WHEN IT WANT BAD AGAIN. DEALERSHIP REPORTS SEEING MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS "DRY" CLUTCH. FORD WILL NOT RECOGNIZE DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

2015 FORD FOCUS DUAL CLUTCH POWERTRAIN TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND SPUTTERS UPON TAKEOFF, REVS UP AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. DOESNT WANT TO ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 55000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE. NOW ITS GOING TO COST 1500 DOLLARS TO FIX AS MY PERSONAL WARRANTY NOR FORD WILL COVER THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE!

VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. INSIDE DASH LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF. CANNOT HAVE INSIDE DOME LIGHT ON (THE LIGHT THAT COMES ON WHEN DOORS OPEN) OR IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. SETTINGS FOR RADIO/HEATER/CLOCK/ETC. CHANGE ON THEIR OWN. NOTHING EVER STAYS SET. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE TIMES NOW AND THEY CAN NEVER FIND ANYTHING. THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 DAYS THE LAST TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WHEN I HAVE THE STARTING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL START IN A FEW MINUTES, SOMETIMES LONGER. THE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH INSIDE LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENS ON VARIOUS DAYS AND TIMES.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PURGE VALVE GETTING STUCK AND NOT ALLOWING MY CAR TO STAY ON AFTER TURNING MY CAR ON IT WILL RUN FOR 5 TO 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT STALLS DUE TO LOSS OF FUEL. I TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO REPLACE IT, BUT THEY TOOK MY CAR IN, ONCE I GOT MY CAR THE VERY SAME DAY BACK. IT DID IT AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING. I HAVE TRIED FUEL CLEANERS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT STILL PERSISTS, IT STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THIS PAST MONDAY, AND NOW WHEN I TRY TO SEARCH FOR THE RECALL FOR INFORMATION IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS TAKEN OFF FROM THEIR WEBSITE. THE ISSUE IS NOT FIXED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART? AS A CONSUMER WHAT CAN WE DO TO FIX A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURING. MY CAR IS A 2015 FORD FOCUS WITH 75K MILES AND THERE WAS ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM THE START, INCLUDING THE KNOWN ISSUE ABOUT THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WHERE IT STUTTERS AND SHAKES WHILE TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS AND TAKE OFF FROM FULL STOP. THIS CAR SHOULD BE CONSIDER A LEMON CAR AND NO ONE SHOULD BUY IT. THIS IS FRAUD BY FORD AND THEY KNOW IT.

IVE HAD MY LUG NUTS SWALLON AND UNABLE TO CHANGE MY OWN TIRE. ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. NAIL IN MY TIRE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY THE CLAMPED 2 TIMES THAT THEY FIXED MY LUG NUTS AND NEVER DID. IVE SPOKE TO SEVERAL OTHER FOCUS OWNERS AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THE POWER TRAIN CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES IN THE LAST THREE IN A HALF YEARS. IVE HAD MY CAR STALL OUT IN ME SEVERAL TIMES AT A STOP LIGHT. IT TAKES IT A MINUTE TO SLIP INTO REVERSE. DOESNT MATTER WHAT GEAR YOU ARE SWITCHING IT FROM IT WILL GO INTO NETURAL/PARK BEFORE CLICKING INTO REVERSE.

HELLO, MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS (THIS TUESDAY 12/18/2018 AND THURSDAY 12/20/2018). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE SECOND TIME THE CARE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, THE OIL INDICATOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. OIL WAS PUT IN THE CAR AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THURSDAY 12/20/2018. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON 12/20/2018, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE BATTERY LIGH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP ON 12/20/2018 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED OCCASIONALLY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

ON THE DAY OF 12/7/18I WILL GO TO WORK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY FRIEND'S HOUSEI DROVE OUT A JUNCTION AND FOUND THAT MY STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN.THEN I STOPPED AT THE ROADSIDE AND RESTARTED THE CAR.WHEN I CONTINUED DRIVING,THE SYSTEM SHOW ME STEERING LOSSSTEERING STOP WORK.I TRIED TO RESTART MANY TIMES, THE SYSTEM STILL DIDN'T ALTER, I WAS SURE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL HAD BROKEN. BEFORE THAT, ON THE DAY OF 02/20/2018, I TRIED TO DROVE OUT MY HOUSE GARAGE. THE STEERING WHEEL BROKE DOWN ONCE, I WAS ALSO ON MY WAY TO WORK. TWO TIMES I WAS UNABLE TO GO TO WORK.I HAD TO WASTE TIME CALL THE TOWING AND CALLED MY COMPANY A LEAVE OF ABSENCE. THIS CAR SERIOUSLY AFFECTED MY WORK AND LIFE. THIS IS A TERRIBLE THINGS, IF I DRIVE SUCH A CAR ON THE HIGH SPEED,I MAY BE DEAD. THANK GOD JUST LET ME STOP IN A SAFE PLACE.THE FIRST REPAIR COST $880, AND THE SECOND REPAIR COST WAS $20504.03 (THE STEERING COST WAS $1758.05).THIS CAR HAS MAJOR HIDDEN DANGERS AND ALSO BROUGHT LOSSES TO MY ECONOMY.I HOPE THAT I CAN SAVE MY LOST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE STOPPED ON A HILL, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AND THEN FORWARD BEFORE STOPPING. THE DEALER (WEBER HARRIS FORD, 433 BALDWIN ST, MEADVILLE, PA 16335, (814) 350-7309) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $1,500. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE NEW OWNER OF THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD DUAL CLUTCHES, WHICH WOULD COST $1,300 TO REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A WEEK LATER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO KEEP THE REPAIR RECORDS FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

MY VEHICLE BUCKS EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE. I WAS TOLD IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THIS WAY, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHEN I FIRST ACCELERATE AND SOMETIMES AS I GO THROUGH THE GEARS.

COOLANT RESERVOIR CRACKED, LOST A LOT OF COOLANT WHICH CAUSED MY ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND NOTICED MY COOLANT ENGINE SENSOR OVERHEATING. STOPPED THE CAR IN A PARK.

I HAVE THIS ERROR CODE FROM A OBD-2 CODE READER FROM AUTOZONE. DEALERSHIP DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY FEESBACK ON THE CHECK ENGINE ISSUE WHEN I HAD IT IN FOR A FUEL TANK ISSUE. ERROR CODE IS 'U0109 LOST COMMUNICATION WITH FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE (FPCM)' THE CAR SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY ALL SUMMER LONG WITH A FULL FUEL TANK OF GASOLINE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR THAT ISSUE CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED DRIVING THE FORD FOCUS AGAIN. READ MORE AT: HTTPS://WWW.OBD-CODES.COM/U0109 COPYRIGHT OBD-CODES.COM

THE UPPER HALF WHEN I ADJUST IT SOMETIMES DOESN'T CLICK IN ALL THE WAY AND AS I'M DRIVING ONE SIDE WILL GIVE OUT AND CLICK INTO ONE BEHIND THE ONE I SET IT AS AND IT'S ONLY ONE SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. ALSO, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,500. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON THURSDAY EVENING, 11/22/2018, I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT ON A CITY STREET (SPEED LIMIT 35) WHEN MY CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. MOVING AT MOST 25 MPH WHEN IT OCCURRED, THE OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS CAME ON AS I SLOWED. I TRIED ACCELERATING SLIGHTLY TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE (MOSTLY OUT OF TRAFFIC) BUT FOUND MY POWER STEERING WAS COMPROMISED. I TURNED ON MY HAZARDS, PARKED, AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED 5 SECONDS, AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO TROUBLE. I WAS SHAKEN, BUT THANKFULLY NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR OR INJURIES TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE STALL, I HAD MY TRANSMISSION SERVICED, AND I WAS MADE AWARE OF FORD MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 18S32 AND THAT MY CAR WAS ONE OF THE AFFECTED. WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON A WEEK AFTER SERVICE, ERROR CODE P2195 (BANK 1/SENSOR 1 LEAN) CAME UP, AND THEN WENT AWAY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE AND CONTINUED TO DO SO. I WAS ON MY WAY TO MY PARENTS' HOUSE FOR THANKSGIVING WITH THE INTENT TO STAY OVERNIGHT AND HAVE MY DAD WORK ON THE CAR IN THE MORNING WHEN THE CAR STALLED WITH A 3/4 FULL TANK OF GAS, DESPITE FORD'S ADVICE THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE SAFE TO OPERATE WITH MORE THAN A HALF TANK. MY AIR FILTER WAS REPLACED, AND 5 DAYS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN, SAME CODE. I SCHEDULED SERVICE WITH FORD, AND THEY VERIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CODE AND THE STALL ARE RELATED TO THE RECALL.

CHATTERING,SLIPPING OF TRANSMISSION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP.DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.

I WENT TO THE STORE JUST FINE WHEN I LEFT THE STORE IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND A ALERT CAME ON THE SCREEN AND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAIL THANKFULLY I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME I HAD TO USE EVERY MUSCLE I HAD TO STEER IT AND MAKE TURNS. I TOOK IT IN FOR DIAGNOSIS I WAS QUOTED OVER $2200 AND WOULD STILL NEED AND ALIGNMENT AND COMPUTER REST 😡 MY CAR IS STUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY TILL I GET THE EXTRA $2200 TO PAY FOR IT THANKS FORD FOR MY FIRST CAR EXPERIENCE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY, CHECK ENGINE, AND OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE MAY OF 2017. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION. FURTHERMORE, UPON FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE/TREMBLE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE STATIONARY. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REMOVED THE FUEL TANK TO ASSESS THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. WALDORF FORD (2440 CRAIN HIGHWAY, WALDORF, MARYLAND 20601, (301) 843-2400) WAS MADE AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A DEER. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT LEG AND BACK AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EACH TIME THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED, IT FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, AND OIL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RAY VARNER FORD (LOCATED AT 2026 N CHARLES G SEIVERS BLVD, CLINTON, TN 37716, (865) 457-0704) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VAPOR CANISTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,185.

I CONTACTED FORD REGARDING SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S07 / NHTSA RECALL 18V-169 AND ASKED WHY MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. MY FORD FOCUS 2015 WAS MANUFACTURED ON MARCH 20, 2015, IN THE SAME MICHIGAN PLANT AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CLUTCH SHUDDERING AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR RECALL NOTICE. FORD'S ANSWER WAS THAT VIN NUMBERS ARE THE SOLE METHOD FOR DETERMINING RECALLS. THEY CLEARLY DID NOT THROW THE NET FAR ENOUGH TO COVER THEIR QUALITY AND DESIGN ISSUES. AFFECTED VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 1.0L FOX GTDI OR 1.6L SIGMA GTDI ENGINES WITH B6 MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS MAY EXPERIENCE CLUTCH SLIP WHICH CAN LEAD TO A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY DAUGHTER AND SHE EXPERIENCES SHUTTERING WHEN SHE ACCELERATES THE VEHICLE. SHE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AS SHE PULLS OUT IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ ABOUT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME SCARY EXPERIENCE WHILE ACCELERATING AND THEIR FRUSTRATION AND CONFUSION ABOUT WHY THEIR FOCUS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO RE-EXAMINE HOW THEY DETERMINED THE VIN NUMBERS AFFECTED AND WHY MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED SINCE IT CLEARLY HAS THE SAME POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE. YOUR HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

MY CAR WAS DRIVING VERY SLUGGISH ON 10/24/2018, I HAD MY CAR TOWED 42 MILES TO THE LAST FORD DEALERSHIPS THAT WORKED ON MY CAR LAST FOR A ENGINE ISSUE. AFTER THEY DID SOME TEST THEY SAID THAT MY ENGINE HAS BLOWN DUE TO THE HEAD GASKET WARPED AND THE CYLINDERS WARPED WHICH CAUSED COOLANT TO LEAK INTO MY ENGINE. UPON TALKING WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS, THE SERVICE ADVISORY SAID IT WAS A DEFECT OF THE DESIGN SINCE MY CAR SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ISSUES. FORD SAID THAT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE OVERHEATED OR HAD WARNING SIGNS APPEAR.

WHEN ACCELERATING MY CAR SHUTTER LIKE CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE.

THE CAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS IN LOWER GEAR AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I GO FROM A STOP INTO FIRST GEAR THE CAR WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY START AND WHEN IT DOES, IT SHUTTERS. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES WHEN I AM DRIVING IN THE CITY BECAUSE OF THE START/STOP. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OTHER FORD FOCUS CARS FROM 2015 ARE RECALLED, BUT MINE IS NOT FOR SOME REASON. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL AND I ASKED FORD TO HELP RE-SET THE TRANSMISSION OR REPLACE IT, AND THEY WILL NOT. PLEASE HELP ME.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF USE, WILL GREATLY REDUCE FAN SPEED. DEALER SAYS CONDENSOR MAY BE FREEZING UP DUE TO A BAD SENSOR. THE CAR DOES NOT STORE A CODE FOR THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHICH SENSOR IS BAD SO THEY WON'T FIX IT. DEALER SAYS NEXT TIME IT IS IN FAILURE MODE, BRING IT IN TO TRY TO GET A CODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE VEHICLE SEIZED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DCH FORD OF EATONTOWN (67 NJ-36, EATONTOWN, NJ 07725, 732-982-4222) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

THE CAR IS OWN 3 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE FUEL EMISSION VALVES, THE COOLING SYSTEM, AND NOW THE UNAFFORDABLE TRANSMISSION CONTROL, CATYLATTIC CONVERTER, AND TRANSMISSION CLUTCH HAVE GONE OUT TO WHERE MY CAR WONT CHANGE SPEEDS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, NOR REVERSE.

ON OR ABOUT 9/23/2018 AND WHILE DRIVING MY FORD FOCUS HB SE, I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH THAT READ "TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW". I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND LATER WAITED FOR A TOW TO MY HOME. ON 9/25/2018 I CONTACTED A FORD DEALERSHIP NEAR MY HOME (SUBURBAN FORD OF FERNDALE) IN MICHIGAN. THE CAR WAS TOWED ON 9/28/2018 TO SUBURBAN FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. INITIALLY, THE THINKING WAS THE TRANSMISSION MODULE (TCM) NEEDED SERVICING, HOWEVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMS ME THAT THE DUEL-CLUTCH COMPONENT IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS REPLACING. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THE CAR HAS 62,056 MILES ON THE ROAD AND HAS HAD TYPICAL MAINTENANCE (TIRES, OIL CHANGE, ETC.). WHILE FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERS TCM, CUSTOMERS, SUCH AS MYSELF, HAVING ISSUES WITH DEFECTIVE DUAL-CLUTCH ARE HAVING TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE HAS MERELY 62,056 ROAD MILES NOT 162,056 MILES.

2015 FORD FOCUS SE SHUDDERS WHEN STARTING FROM 1-2ND GEAR, I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IT DOES EVERYTIME THE CAR STARTS FROM STOP POSITION.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT ACTUATE AND THE DOOR WILL FLY OPEN WHILE DRIVING. FORD CLAIMS THIS PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED ON THIS VIN FOR A FOCUS ST EVEN THOUGH 2015 FOCUS DOOR LATCHES ARE LISTED ON AN EARLIER RECALL.

MY CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE ON THE ROAD WHEN MY FOOT IS PRESSING DOWN ON GAS PEDAL BUT RPM INCREASES RESULTING IN STALLING IN MOTION LIKE CONDITIONS. IT IS VERY SCARY AND FRUSTRATING FOR ME AND MY OCCUPANTS THAT RIDE WITH ME TO WORK.

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAD A RECALL DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN 2017. THE CARS ENGINE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSITION. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE RECALL WARRANTY. HOWEVER, ALMOST A YEAR LATER TO THIS DATE MY TRANSMISSION/ENGINE IS SHOWING THE SAME SIGNS.

AT JUST OVER 71,000 MILES OUR 2015 FORD FOCUS SE ELECTRICAL STEERING RACK FAILED AND NEEDED FULL REPLACEMENT AT AN OUT OF POCKET COST OF ALMOST $1800. DURING A TURN ON A CITY STREET, THE STEERING FAILED AND MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, MAKING THIS PART AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HAD IT GONE OUT AT THE WRONG TIME, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND VOICED OUR CONCERNS BUT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE TO COMPENSATION FOR AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE PART IN QUESTION WAS NOT YET RECALLED. WE HAVE SINCE PARTED WITH THE CAR AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED PART, FEARING THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. UPON RESEARCH THE PROBLEM, WE FOUND SIMILAR INSTANCES ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM INCLUDING THE WELL KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE A SIMILAR ISSUE OCCURRED IN FORD FOCUS MODELS BEFORE 2015 AND ALSO ON THEIR FUSION LINE OF CARS IN THE SAME RANGE OF YEARS OF AROUND 2013-2015 I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THE 2015 FORD FOCUS FOR A RECALL ON THE STEERING SYSTEM AND SUBMIT TO YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT BE SHORT IN FINDING 2015 FOCUS OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AFTER A QUICK SEARCH ON THE WEB.

THE POWER STEERING WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DANGEROUS CONTROL ISSUES. IT FINALLY FAILED COMPLETELY. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE FOR ISSUES WITH SLIPPING AND CONTINUES TO DO SO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED CLUTCH FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO AUTONATION FORD LINCOLN UNION CITY (4355 JONESBORO RD, UNION CITY, GA 30291, (770) 674-6075) FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE CLUTCH MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DIFFERENT UNKNOWN DEALER. THE SECOND DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHARGE FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,023.

CAR SHUTTERS BETWEEN 5 TO 15 MILES PER HOUR. REPLACED BATTERY TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON STATING TRANSMISSION IS HOT. TOOK TO FORD SAID ITS A DUAL CLUTCH THAT'S STUCK AND IT'S A SHIFT FORK THAT NEEDS REPLACEMENT. I SHOULD RECEIVE AN TRANSMISSION ISSUE AFTER REPLACING A BATTERY THEN BE TOLD IT'S A CLUTCH THAT STUCK. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE FROM THE 2014 FORD FOCUS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM REPLACING THE BATTERY'S. TOLD BY FORD ITS MIMIC A BAD BATTERY.

WHEN YOU START TO DRIVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES A LITTLE BEFOR IT GETS GOING.

THERE IS NOW THIS GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM MY CAR ENGINE. WAS ACTING UP A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT IN 2017. EVERYONE SAID OH IT'S FINE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. WELL IT ACTS UP AS SOON AS I START TO DRIVE IT SLOW.... OTHERS SAY IT'S THE TRANSMISSION. AND OTHERS SAY I'M STUPID. IT SLIPS WHEN YOU START TO GO. I WANT THIS FIXED

TAKATA RECALL MY CLUTCH WAS MESSED UP IN THIS CAR WHEN I FIRST LEASED IT FROM US AUTO SALES BACK IN FEBRUARY 2017 AND I HAD RENTAL FOR A WEEK ONLY BECAUSE THE WARRANTY COVERED IT. NOW THE CLUTCH IS MESSED AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD I'LL HAVE TO PAY $2000 FOR IT TO BE FIX! IS THERE ANYWAY YOU GUYS CAN RECALL MY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO KEEP SPENDING ON THIS CAR BECAUSE THE SAME PROBLEM KEEP OCCURRING. IS ALWAYS JERKS AND DON'T ACCELERATE THE SPEED OF THE CAR THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS ANYWHERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, A GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN ENGAGED IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND A NOISE EMERGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND KEPT FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE IDENTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

2015 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE CLUTCH ON VEHICLE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE CLUTCH SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V169000 (POWER TRAIN). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (CASA FORD, 5815 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925, (915) 779-2272) 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. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE STEERING GOT VERY HEAVY, THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, A MESSAGE ON THE DASH STARTED THAT HILL START ASSIST WAS DEACTIVATED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I PULLED OVER, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN I PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I THINK IT MAY BE AN ABS SENSOR THAT CAME LOOSE BEHIND A WHEEL.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER IS FREEZING AND DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY NO MATTER WHAT OPERATION IT IS IN: LOW, MEDIUM OR HIGH. I HAVE HAD THE WIPER BLADES, WIPER ARM, AND WIPER MOTOR REPLACED AND NONE OF IT HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT HAS LEFT ME IN SEVERAL DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THREE MONTHS. NOBODY SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, INCLUDING THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT.

OCTOBER 15 2015 I BOUGHT A FORD FOCUS 2015 S 4DR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. RIGHT AWAY HAD ISSUES WITH IT STALLING AND SHORTING OUT THE COMPUTER AND KEEPING A CHARGE. HOWEVER ON JANUARY 4TH 2018, I WAS SIDESWIPED GOING 45 MPH AND COLLIDED INTO A TREE AND A FEW OTHER VEHICHLES ALSO. I SUSTAINED SERIOUS INJURIES DUE TO NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. THE CAR WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS AND I STILL AM PAYING ON THIS VEHICLE. IVE NOTICED MANY SIMILAR MODELS HAVING SIMILAR CONCERNS, HOWEVER MY SPECIFIC VIN STATES ITS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY RECALLS.

DRIVING INTO A RECREATIONAL SITE, LOOKING FOR PARKING WITH CAR IN MOTION, POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. I PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD BUT TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LIKE MOVING A TON OF BRICKS. TURNED CAR ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON BUT STEERING WAS OUT. STEERING GEAR HAD TO BE REPLACED BY DEALER. FORD HAS A HISTORY OF RECALLS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL WAS NOT AMONG THOSE RECALLED.

TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SLIP. CAR FLUTTERS AND JERKS AT EVERY START.
