TIRES ARE WEARING OUT ON THE INSIDE A LOT FASTER. AM ON 3RD SET THE FIRST TWO SETS DID THIS AND THE DEALER SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. I.FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS A CURSORY INSPECTION OF THE TIRES LOOKS OK BUT IF YOU GET ON THE GROUND TO CHECK THE INSIDE PART THE WEAR WILL BE ALARMING.

THE FUEL LINE THAT CONNECTS TO THE GAS TANK IS LEAKING AND I CANT GET THE THE CAR TO START EVEN THOUGHT IT'S AT 5 MILE LAST TIME I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY CAR ON WHEN I WAS PARKED IN MY BARRACKS PARKING LOT

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND, VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD 55K MILES ON IT.

I GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT ON APRIL 22 2019 AND MY STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY WHOLE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS WAS DESTROYED AND THE AIRBAG UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL DEPLOYED. I'M REPORTING THIS BECAUSE IT MAY NOT HAVE KILLED ME BUT IT COULD KILL SOMEONE.

I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED. I WAITED A FEW MONTHS FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL ME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN I CAN BRING MY CAR IN. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO REACH OUT TO THEM AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN. THAT BEING SAID, I HAD RESCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT SEVERAL TIMES (BECAUSE LIFE HAPPENS). I REACHED OUT AGAIN TO RESCHEDULE AND DID NOT RECIEVE A RESPONSE. I REACHED OUT THE LHM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SAID SOMEONE WILL BE CONTACTING ME BUT NEVER DID. I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING IGNORED, AND I WANT THIS CAR FIXED OR OUT OF MY LEASE. MY CAR VIBRATES SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND NOW IT KIND OF SHAKES WHEN I DO A TURN.

MY CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND NOW MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND EVERY TIME I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT ACTS LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO STALL OUT I'M WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY BECAUSE THIS IS JUST THE FIRST DAY AND MY VEHICLE IS ALREADY ACTING UP I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP NO ANSWER I'M VERY UPSET IF I DIE BECAUSE OF YOU'RE COMPANY AND DEALERSHIP FAILURE BETTER BELIEVE MY FAMILY WILL SUE ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE TRIED TO CONTACT MY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES

WHEN I AM ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP IT SHUTTERS VERY BAD. IT HAPPENS WHEN TURNING AND I HAVE TO SPEED UP, IT REALLY GETS BAD WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP AND I HAVE TO TAKE OFF UPHILL. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT IS HAVING PROBLEMS GOING INTO GEAR. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN I AM ACCELERATING. I TOLD FORD MARSHAL IN O'FALLON MO AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE "CLUTCH AND IT WAS WITHIN LIMITS." (WHATEVER THAT MEANS)THIS IS WHEN I STILL HAD A WARRANTY. BUT NOW I DON'T. I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS MATTER. THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT WHILE I HAD A WARRANTY.

INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE. FIRST ISSUE - MY CAR WOULD BE READING THAT I HAD (EXAMPLE) 15 MILES UNTIL EMPTY AND REALLY I HAD 0 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SECOND ISSUE - MY CAR WILL STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING/ACCELERATING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. MUCH WORSE WHEN I HAVE LESS THAN A HALF/QUARTER TANK. MY CAR WILL STILL STALL EVEN WHEN I DO HAVE MORE THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS. MOST TIMES, MY CAR WILL NOT RESTART AFTER THE STALL. THIS ISSUE IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN AS SOON AS I TURN THE CAR ON, AT A DEAD STOP THEN ABOUT TO ACCELERATE, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JUNE OF 2018 AND STARTED TO NOTICE THE FUEL TANK ISSUE PRETTY QUICKLY. THE STALLING OUT ISSUE STARTED TO HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD.

THERE ARE CLASS ACTION SUITS OVER THE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH RECALLS FOR THE FOCUS. FORD DEALERS CHAPMAN FORD, HORSHAM AND HOFFMAN FORD, HARRISBURG, PA, ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THE FORD FOCUS 2016 CLUTCH THAT IS SLIPPING (ABOUT 48,000 MILES) WITH THEIR REASON BEING THAT THE CAR HAS A BRANDED TITLE. THE CAR WAS IN A MINOR ACCIDENT THAT ONLY AFFECTED THE SIDE OPPOSITE THE TRANSMISSION, AND ANY DEALER CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT ALL THE TRANSMISSION AND SURROUNDING AREAS ARE NOT DAMAGED AND ARE ORIGINAL FORD PARTS. IT WAS REALLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF BODY WORK ON THE OPPOSING SIDE. IF A CLUTCH 'BLOWS UP', THE DRIVER CAN HAVE SERIOUS LEG DAMAGE, AND ALSO THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CRASH POSSIBILITY. SINCE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT AFFECTED AT ALL IN THE BRANDED TITLE, FORD SHOULD REPAIR IT FOR FREE. THE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH ISSUES ARE ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND SINCE FORD HAS QUIT MAKING THE FOCUS, IT IS EVIDENT THAT FORD KNOWS THEY HAVE CREATED THE CLUTCH ISSUE. THIS AND THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE RECALL ARE VERY DANGEROUS.YOU WOULD NOT WANT YOUR DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR, AND IT NEEDS REPAIRED THIS WEEK. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THE SITUATION THEY KNOWINGLY CREATED. THE BRANDED TITLE HAS NOTHING TO DO AT ALL WITH THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. EVEN THE DEALERS HAVE ADMITTED THAT. CHAPMAN FORD, HORSHAM HAS DIAGNOSED A SLIPPING CLUTCH. I HAVE PAPERWORK.

TOOK FOCUS TO DEALER AND DEALER SAID HE CAN'T FIX DUE TO PARTS BEING ON BACK ORDER FOR A MONTH. HOWEVER, THIS IS A SAFETY RISK " AND ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT ABILITY TO RESTART CAN INCREASE RISK OF CRASH". STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE. DEPENDING ON WHERE THIS COULD HAPPEN, THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH. THIS NEEDS FIXED IMMEDIATELY. RECALL ON FORD FOCUS 18V735 CHAPMAN FORD OF HORSHAM, 1100 EASTON RD, HORSHAM, PA 19044. WE HAVE PAPERWORK.

THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH STICKS AND IF NOT REPAIRED CAR WILL STOP RUNNING; CAR DEALER STATED IT WILL BE OVER $2200 TO BE REMEDIED. THIS HAPPENS ON THE ROADWAY WHILE DRIVING: CAR HESITATED BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR. EVEN WHEN I'M MOTION IT WILL BACK DOWN AND SLOW UP. THE IGNITION OVER YEARS AND NEEDS TO COOL DOWN BEFORE THE CAR RESTARTS.

OVERHEATING

WHEN IT'S DRIVING UP A HILL IT'S MAKES A SOUND WHERE AS THE SPEED STAYS THE SAME AND DO WANT INCREASE. I BELIEVE IT'S THE CLUTCH IS SCRAPING WHEN IT RUNS. WHEN DRIVING SAME LEVEL DOES THE SAME BUT SOMETIMES UNEXPECTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 5-20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND DRIVE SLOWLY. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND "WARNING CAR IS TO HOT" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED BACK TO THE CONTACT'S HOME DURING THE LAST FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TASCA FORD (250 WEBSTER SQUARE RD, BERLIN, CT 06037, (860) 828-3546), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER REFUSED TO ASSIST AND STATED THAT THE CONTACT CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

ON NOVEMBER 4, 2018.I WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT-HAND TURN, I HAD BOTH MY HANDS ON THE STEERING-WHEEL,I LOOKED LEFT AND THEN I LOOKED RIGHT,I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY RIGHT FOOT.THE CAR STARTED TO GO,THEN IT JERKED BACK, AND THEN IT DIED DOWN TO NOTHING AND COASTED OUT ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. THE CAR GOT HIT IT WAS A (TOTAL LOSS). ON DECEMBER 7,2018 I CALLED UP TO TELL FORD ABOUT THE ACCIDENT,AND THEY SAID THE CAR WAS UNDER RECALL (RECALL-18S32), A MALE REPRESENTATIVE SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK IN 15 DAYS ,BUT NO-ONE EVER DID. ON DECEMBER 27,2018 I WAS READING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE RECALL, I READ SOMETHING THAT SEEMED ODD ABOUT THE RECALL , IT IS LISTED WHERE IT SAYS REMEDIES, IT SAYS(FORD PROVIDED THE GENERAL REIMBURSEMENT PLAN FOR THE COST OF REMEDIES PAID FOR BY VECHICLE OWNERS PRIOR TO NOTIFICATION OF A SAFETY RECALL IN FEBRUARY 2017) WHY DOES IT SAY THIS? ON DECEMBER 27,2018 I CALLED FORD AND ASKED WHAT DOES IT MEAN, AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW. IS THIS A 2017 RECALL OR A 2018 RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. IN DECEMBER OF 2018, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (ENGINE); HOWEVER, THE REPAIR DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND STALLED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (NORM REEVES FORD LINCOLN, 18900 STUDEBAKER RD, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (562) 991-6696) STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AFTER 36,000 MILES AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, TRANSMISSION/ENGINE STUTTERS MAKING THE CAR SHUDDER AT LOW SPEEDS. DELAYED AND INCONSISTENT ACCELERATION NOTED DURING SHUDDERING EPISODES. THIS HAPPENS EVERY ACCELERATION UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. IF ACCELERATOR IS ADVANCED MORE RAPIDLY, SHUDDERING NOT NOTED. CAR ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE. A TRANSMISSION PART WAS ALREADY REPLACED ONCE WHICH SEEMED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AT FIRST. THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AFTER REPAIR.

MY AUTO IS ON A RE-CALL FOR GAS TANK ISSUES THEY TOLD ME PARTS FOR AUTO WOULD BE 15 DAYS MEANWHILE MY AUTO HAS BEEN STALLING NOT STARTING GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE REAR OF AUTO FORD SAYS ITS NOT THERE PROBLEM TO RENT A AUTO FOR USE THEY SAID FILL THE CAR WITH GAS I DID THAT IT IS WORST THEN BEFORE THE DATE IS JUST ONE OF MANY DATES SINCE RECALL

RECENTLY WHEN STARTING MY CAR I RECEIVED A "STEERING ASSISTANT FAILURE SERVICE REQUIRED WARNING" I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WENT AWAY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WENT SHOPPING AND CAME OUT TO MY PARKED CAR. THIS TIME THE WARNING WOULD NOT GO AWAY. I TRIED DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY TO DISCONNECT POWER AND IT DID NOT WORK. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR (WITH NO POWER STEERING) TO A DEALERSHIP. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN SOME MODELS OF FORD CARS AND BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHAKES AND SLIPS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER SLOWING BELOW 3RD GEAR. ONCE THE TRANSMISSION FULLY ENGAGES IT DOES SO WITH FORCE AND JOLTS THE CAR FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON INCLINES, DECLINES AND FLAT ROADS WHILE IN CITY STREET CONDITIONS. IT HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER DUE TO RESEARCH HAS REVEALED FORD HAS NO REAL FIX FOR THE ISSUE AND WILL ONLY RE-FLASH THE TRANSMISSION PROGRAMING IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMEDY A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I STARTED ENCOUNTERING THIS PROBLEM AT ABOUT 10,000 MILES AND I AM THE FIRST OWNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AFTER THE CONTACT'S FOOT WAS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ALSO, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND SHUDDERED WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BLONNELL FORD (353 CAMBRIDGE ST, WINCHESTER, MA 01890) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED; HOWEVER, THE OTHER FAILURES WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TT CONSUMER IS ASKING TO CANCEL REQUEST. *JB

TAIL LIGHT BULB CHARRED BLACK & SOCKET MELTED .

HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES! VEHICLE SHAKES AND SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING ON CITY STREETS. VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND THEN SHIFTS HARD (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) SOMETIMES WHILE ON FLAT ROADS, SOMETIMES GOING UP HILLS. ONLY HAPPENS WHILE ACCELERATING. DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH VEHICLE AT LESS THAN 100MILES, UNDER 30,000 NOW OVER 2 YEARS LATER.

POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION STUTTERS AND SLIPS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP AND WHEN SHIFTING UP TO 3RD GEAR. VERY UNSAFE WHEN MAKING TURNS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. BEEN DOING THIS FOR MONTHS, JUST GOT AROUND TO COMPLAINING HERE. HAVE NOT TAKEN TO DEALER BECAUSE I AM NOW AWARE OF A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.

WHEN GOING FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION STRUGGLES TO CHANGE GEAR. LEAVING YOU WITH A DELAY TO ACCELERATE WHICH CAN CAUSE INJURY & SOMEWHAT OF A STALL OUT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC. IT SOUNDS AS IF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO DROP OUT OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. IT FEELS AS IF SOMEONE IS PLAYING TUG OF WAR & CAN'T HOLD ONTO THE ROPE WHEN IT IS SHIFTING GEARS; SO IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL FALL OUT OF OR NOT CHANGE GEARS. I WAS TOLD THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BY THE SELLER AT DAVID IRWIN FORD IN TYLER, TX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE ENGINE SEIZED.

THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND IT WAS UP TO THE CONTACT TO REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.

THE CAR LOSES TOO MUCH POWER ALL THE TIME ON A HIGHWAY OR REGULAR STREET TURNING OR AFTER A GREEN LIGHT IT HAS TO PUSH TO MUCH GAS AND FEEL ALMOST STOPPED
