MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I WENT TO GET IT CHECKED AND THE CODE WAS P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM WAS THE CODE SHOW UP. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN AND WHAT DO I DO?? THANKS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND HESITATED WHILE ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WOULD ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE 15-20 TIMES AND THEN ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO REV FOR 2-3 MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD EXCESSIVE VACUUM PRESSURE. THE FUEL TANK NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V845000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AS POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. JOE COTTON FORD, INC. (5 W. NORTH AVE, CAROL STREAM, IL 60188, (630) 682-9200) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,800.

MY FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK IS A AUTOMATIC AND CAN SHIFT INTO SUPER AUTO/MANUAL ARE AVAILABLE. MY VEHICLE STAGGERS, SHUTTERS, AND SHAKES ONCE IN DRIVE MODE. MY VEHICLE ALSO ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN ON A INCLINE IF I DO NOT PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL, AND IF I DO NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL OR TOUCH THE BREAKS IT WILL LOSE MOMENTUM AND BEGIN TO ROLL BACKWARDS IF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICAL IS INCLINED. THIS ISSUE IS NOT SOLELY THE MANUAL MODELS MY 2017 FORD FOCUS FWD AUTOMATIC SHUTTERS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I CHECKED TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL LEVELS WERE GOOD THERE. MY ELECTRONIC 'ANTICIPATION' SCORE IN MY CARS ECO FAQS DASHBOARD IS 5/5. 5/5 IS THE BEST YOUR SCORE CAN BE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR NOT JUST 2014-2016 BUT 2017 AUTOMATICS AND MANUALS BOTH! IF YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE YOUR VEHICLE WITHOUT TRANSMISSION STAGGERING, SHUTTERING, SHAKING AND RELATED ISSUES WITH DRIVING NEW TO PREOWNED 60K-100K AND UNDER VEHICLES THIS IS VERY CONCERNING. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER 52K MILES I GOT IT AROUND 49K. IT WAS BRAND NEW ONE OWNER BEFORE ME AND THE CAR FACS REPORT WAS DETAILED ON ITS SERVICE HISTORY AND VERY WELL MAINTAINED. IF MY VEHIC IS AUTOMATIC WITH ECO AND TECHNOLOGY AS WELL AS UP TO DATE SYNC UPDATES THENT ELECTRONICALLY MY VEHICLE IS COMPUTING INCORRECTLY AND THIS FLEX FUEL IS CAUSING SOME COMPUTER ISSUE WITH MY TRANSMISSION. IF MY UP TO DATE VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY IS CAUSING ISSUES THEN I CAN'T TRUST MY VEHICLE TO KNOW HOW TO KEEP ME SAFE. IF I NEED TO ACCELERATE BUT HAVE TO PRESS THE BREA

2017 FORD FOCUS S, SHUDDERS/SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP. THE CAR ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE CAR IS PARKED AND I REFUSE TO MOVE IT UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESSED. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE OR ISSUE EVERYONE WHO OWNS THIS VEHICLE A FULL REFUND OR A DIFFERENT MODEL! THIS IS NOT SAFE AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO ANYONE DRIVING IT, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY OR BELTWAY AT A GREAT AMOUNT OF SPEED AND THE CAR REFUSES TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT SHUDDERING OR SHAKING.

THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON 2017 FORD FOCUS VEHICLES FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, WHICH CAUSES STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS. MY 2017 FORD FOCUS HAS THIS EXACT ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL SERVICE REPAIR AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED DESPITE THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SO FAR, I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY THAT MINE HAS ONLY STALLED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START IT AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS NEAR MY HOME, RATHER THAN WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM BEFORE I ENDED UP IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION. I HAD BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT ISSUES FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HOWEVER, BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT, MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNSAFE UNTIL I CAN GET IT REPAIRED MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE HOOD RELEASED AND CRACKED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE FACE AND NECK HOWEVER NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS PROVIDED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 26,000. *DT*JB*DT*JB*DT*JB

THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. MY FORD FOCUS NOT ONLY HAS WHEEL ISSUES EVERY OTHER DAY AFTER REPLACING THE TIRES SEVERAL TIMES, BUT THE STUTTERING PROBLEM I'VE REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES IS STILL A PROBLEM AND IS GETTING EVEN WORSE. NO ONE IS HELPING ME WITH THIS ISSUE. WHEN MY VEHICLE IS AT A STOP AND I PRESS THE GAS IS SHAKES AND STUTTERS. I WAS TOLD BY SEVERAL SHOPS THAT FORD HAS HAD LAWSUITS AND SEVERAL RECALLS OVER PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND THEY REFUSED TO WORK ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THEY SAID THERE IS NO PART IS EXISTENCE THAT WILL FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CREATED IT THAT WAY. THIS IS BULL AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT.

2017 FORD FOCUS - TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AND HESITATES IN LOW GEARS UPON ACCELERATION. STARTED AT LESS THAN 20K MILES.

ENGINE TIMING CHAIN COVER IS SEEPING OIL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 130,600 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PER THE FORD MAINTENANCE MANUAL AND HAS NEVER MISSED A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE EVENT.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM FULLY STOPPED, SUCH AS WHEN DEPARTING FROM A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT ALSO SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM LOW SPEED, SUCH AS COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND ACCELERATING AFTER SLOWLY TURNING ONTO A STREET. THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES AS IT TRIES TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER THE ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM. I HAVE READ DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF IDENTICAL ACCOUNTS FROM OTHER 2017 FORD FOCUS OWNERS. SOMETHING IS INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE POWERTRAIN SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE FLEET AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED MY FORD FOCUS MAY 2017 AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 12 MILES ON IT. IN TWO YEARS, I BEGAN TO FEEL A SHUDDER WHENEVER I STARTED TO DRIVE FROM A STOP. THE SHUDDER WAS ON AND OFF FOR A MONTH AND INCREASINGLY GOT WORSE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO FORD, JULY 2019. THEY STATED THAT MY CLUTCH WENT BAD AND I NEEDED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I WAS SURPRISED IT WAS ALREADY HAVING SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH FORD FOCUS'S. A YEAR IN A HALF LATER, I BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND SYMPTOMS AGAIN. I CALLED FORD TO NOTIFY THEM IN DECEMBER 2020, HE STATED IT MAY BE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND GOT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR THE SAME CLUTCH ISSUE THAT WAS REPLACED ORIGINALLY. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS INFORMED THAT ONCE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY WILL NO LONGER COVER THE COST FOR MY REPAIRS ON THE CLUTCH IF IT WENT BAD AGAIN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN ME PAYING $2,300 EACH TIME IT NEEDED A REPAIR. GIVEN THE TWO CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS WITHIN 3.5 YEARS OF HAVING THIS BRAND NEW CAR, I WAS UPSET SINCE THIS SEEMED TO BE AN ISSUE THAT SHOULDN'T BE OCCURRING. I LOOKED UP RECALLS ON 2017 FORD FOCUS'S AND FOUND THE RECALL NUMBER 18V845000 & 18V169000 (18S07). THESE TWO RECALLS SPECIFICALLY MENTION THE TYPE OF ISSUE I'VE HAD TWICE WITH THIS NEW VEHICLE WITHIN 1.5 YEARS OF EACH OTHER. ITS STATES THE SNOWBALL EFFECT O

CAR SHUT OFF IN THE FREEWAY, SHUTTERS AND SHAKES WHEN TURNED ON AND RPM GOES UP TO 4,000 TO ACCELERATE. I CALLED MULTIPLE PLACES AND TALKED TO MULTIPLE FORD REPRESENTATIVES THAT WONT HELP ME AND OBVIOUSLY MY CAR IS A DANGER TO THE ROAD AND MYSELF. THEYRE MAKING ME PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A FORD PROBLEM.

HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH NO SOLUTION. SHUDDERING PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

BROKE DOWN WOULDN'T START OVERHEATING WOULD GO PAST 30 TOOK TO SHOP SAYING IT'S CLUTCH MOTORS FOR TRANSMISSION 1900.00$

I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND WITHIN A WEEK IT BEGAN SHUDDERING, STUDDERING, JERKING DURING ACCELERATION. FOR A WHILE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME GETTING USED TO THE CAR AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL ODDLY. OVER THE YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS BECAME WORSE AND APPROXIMATELY 12-15 MONTHS AGO I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED OUT. I HAD TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WAY MY CAR WAS DRIVING NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE THEY ALLOWED ME TO BRING IT IN. I CANNOT REMEMBER IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION OR IF THE "REPAIR" WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. EITHER WAY, THE DEALERSHIP TRIED EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO AVOID ME- SO MUCH THAT I PASSED THE MAXIMUM MILES COVERED IN THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY BEFORE I WAS ALLOWED TO BRING IT IN BUT THEY DID STILL HONOR IT, CONSIDERING MY COMPLAINT WAS WELL BEFORE THE THRESHOLD WAS SURPASSED. WHEN I PICKED MY CAR UP I WAS TOLD A NEW ELECTRONIC COMPONENT WAS INSTALLED IN(?) THE TRANSMISSION THAT WOULD RECORD AND ADAPT TO MY DRIVING STYLE, ALLOWING A MUCH SMOOTHER TRANSITION BETWEEN GEAR SHIFTS, SOLVING THE SHUDDERING. WHATEVER THEY DID WORKED FOR ABOUT A WEEK, JUST LONG ENOUGH TO ENSURE THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW IT IS WORSE THAN EVER- SEVER SHUDDERING AND JERKING BETWEEN GEARS, TAKING LONGER THAN IT SHOULD TO SHIFT GEARS, EVEN SLIPPING GEARS SOMETIMES, OCCASIONAL UNINITIATED ENGINE REVVING AND BOGGING DOWN, HESITATING TO ACCELERATE- BOTH AT A STOP AND WHILE IN MOTION, ROLLING BACKWARDS ON AN INCLINE WHILE IN DRIVE. I'M AFRAID TO PULL OUT

2017 FORD FOCUS SHUDDERS WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHEN HOT. WHEN COLD, NO ISSUES. AFTER A LONG ROAD TRIP ON THE HIGHWAY, WE STOPPED FOR A QUICK BREAK AND STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN. THIS TIME, I NOTICED A VERY HARSH SHUDDER AND SHAKE AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP. NO INDICATORS ON THE DASH, NORMAL PRESSURE AND TEMP LEVELS, OIL LEVEL PERFECT.

MY 2017 FORD FOCUS FOR A WHILE NOW HAS HAD MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS INCLUDING STUTTERING, SHUDDERING, AND EVEN ROLLING BACKWARDS WHILE ON A HILL IN DRIVE. I HAVE HAD MY FORD FOCUS FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND HAVE UPDATED IT ON ALL OF ITS RECALLS. BUT, NOT TO LONG AFTER I GOT IT, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHOWING PROBLEMS AS THE ONES I LISTED EARLIER. IT BEGAN FIRST WITH THE STUTTERING AND THEN PHYSICALLY BECAME NOTICEABLE WHEN I ROLLED BACK ON A HILL. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS AND A LAWSUITS AGAINST FORD FOR THE PREVIOUS MODELS, PRIMARILY BETWEEN 2012-2016. BUT, I THINK THE 2017 HAS THE SAME ISSUES BUT NO RECALLS ON IT YET. I'M HOPING THAT BY FILING A REPORT, SOMETHING WILL COME OFF IT BECAUSE IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL PROBLEM. DEALERSHIPS ARE REAPING EVEN MORE BECAUSE AS SOON AS I HAD MY PROBLEMS, I IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP TO TELL TO THEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A MATTER OF GETTING USED TO. SOMETHING ABOUT THE CAR ADJUSTING TO MY FOOT PRESSURE BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN GETTING WORSE. AFTER MUCH USAGE IS WHEN IT'S VERY NOTICEABLE BUT THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG. I'VE BEEN IN INSTANCES WHERE I'M TRYING TO TURN ON CITY STREETS BUT BECAUSE THE CAR STUTTERS, IT MAKES ME SLOW DOWN OR PAUSE; HENCE, PLACING ME IN POSITIONS OF ACCIDENTS OR SOMETHING WORSE. I JUST HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE.

ON FEB 1ST 2021 THE POWER STEERING FAIL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON CITY STREET. A COLLUSION WAS AVOID THANKS TO OTHER DRIVERS SWERVING OUT OF THE WAY. A ERROR MESSAGE APPEAR ON THE DASH REPORTING POWER STEERING FAULT. WE PARK THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL TRAFFIC WAS CLEARED UP IN THE HOPES WE COULD GET THE CAR HOME. WHEN WE WENT BACK THE ISSUE WAS RESOVLED AND WE DROVE TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE. THE DEALER WAS ABLE REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK.

CAR SHUDDERS FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP OR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH TWICE. THE OTHER TIMES THEY VERIFY THE SHUTTER BUT SAID ITS WITH IN NORMAL SPEC. THEY SAID FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.

WHEN ACCELERATING "NORMALLY" THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP BETWEEN 1ST AND SECOND GEARS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A ROLLING START LIKE ON A FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WILL REV AND THEN SHIFT AND/OR SLIP CAUSING TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHIFTS RANDOMLY FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR THEN STARTS TO SHUDDER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, THE DRIVER LED OFF HER FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND NEARLY GOT HIT BY OTHER UPCOMING VEHICLES WITH HER CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHAPMAN FORD, 1255 COLUMBUS AVE, MARYSVILLE, OH 43040, AND WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CALLED FORD MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RANGE WAS NOT WITHIN THE PARAMETER FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND REMAINED AT THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JANUARY 9TH 2021. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS THE HEAD GASKET RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ALREADY. I COULDN'T HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT AS I WAS 3 HOURS EACH WAY FROM HOME AND HAD TO MEET THE DEALER AT 9 PM. I DROVE THE CAR AND ALL SEEMED GOOD. ON THE 3 HR DRIVE HOME I NOTICED OIL PRESSURE WAY GOING BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE THE POWER IT DID 1 HR BEFORE, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST IN MY HEAD. SO MONDAY I PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT AT WORK AND SEEN THEIR WAS OIL COMING FROM THE HEADGASKET AREA AGAIN. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK FROM WHEN IT WAS DONE AT A DEALER BUT IT ALSO IS KNOWN THAT THE EARLY RECALLS THAT WERE DONE DID NOT USE THE CORRECT GASKET EVEN FOR THE RECALL. I AM ASKING FOR THIS TO GET FIXED AS I DIDN'T PAY 30,000 FOR A CAR THAT I CANT DRIVE AND HAVE TO PAY 11,000 TO FIX THE MOTOR. THE CAR HAD 51522 MILES WHEN I BOUT IT. IT IS 200 MILES FOR THE DRIVE HOME. AND IT HAS 51833 ON IT RIGHT NOW AND I DRIVE IT DAILY.

TWO THINGS HAPPENS AFTER I WOULD PUSH ON THE BREAK THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE UNTIL I PUSHED ON THE BREAK AGAIN AND IT SHUTTERS AND ACT AS IF IT WILL STALL OUT WHEN I FIRST START TO DRIVE WHEN I FIRST ACCELERATE FROM ANY STOPPED SITUATION

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY INDICATING STEERING FAILURE. THE MOMENT THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED, I LOST STEERING IMMEDIATELY AND THE CAR PULLED DRAMATICALLY TOWARDS THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE ROAD. UP TILL THIS POINT, THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A STEERING ISSUE. THANKFULLY, I WAS DRIVING EARLIER IN THE MORNING ON A RURAL ROADWAY WITH A VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AND ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF THE ROAD. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE SYSTEM AFFECTED IS THE EPAS. AFTER CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR IT WAS MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD JUST REPLACED THE SAME SYSTEM IN A SIMILAR VEHICLE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL GARAGE WHO CONTACTED A DIFFERENT DEALER THAT ALSO INDICATED THEY HAVE REPLACED THIS PART ON NUMEROUS VEHICLES (NO SPECIFIC NUMBER WAS GIVEN).

I BOUGHT MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE WITH 8 MILES ON IT WHEN IT GOT ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON IT MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHUTTER. BROUGHT IT TO 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS TO BE TOLD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ABOUT 20,000 MILES I NOTICE THE SHUTTER BECOMING WORST AND WORST TO BE TOLD ONCE AGAIN NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW MY CAR IS AT 50,000 AND ANYTIME IT'S UNDER THE HALF WAY MARK WITH GAS THE SHUTTER BECOME MORE INTENSE. STILL FORD WANTS TO TELL ME THERE IS NO PROBLEMS

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED THE CLUTCH SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING. THIS INCLUDES SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AS WELL AS SLIPPING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER. THE SHIFTS, ESPECIALLY 1ST TO SECOND ARE VERY VIOLENT AND ROUGH. WHILE SHIFTING THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AGGRESSIVELY WHILE ALSO BEING PAIRED WITH A SHUDDERING AND GRINDING NOISE. FORD WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM AT 49,195 MILES ON NOVEMBER 19TH 2019. FORD TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT RECREATE MY COMPLAINT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT "THIS IS HOW THIS CAR DRIVES". I BELIEVE I WAS TOLD THIS AS A DETERRENT FROM MAKING FUTURE COMPLAINTS. TWO THOUSAND MILES LATER I WENT BACK TO FORD AFTER MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING IN REVERSE. FORD CHOSE TO RELEARN THE CLUTCH HOWEVER THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF AS WELL AS THE CLUTCH, NO FURTHER REPAIRS WERE MADE. I WAS THEN TOLD AGAIN THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. WE ALSO MADE 2 REPORTS TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTIFYING FORD OF THIS PROBLEM AS I WAS STILL UNDER MY WARRANTY. NOW 9 THOUSAND MILES OUT OF WARRANTY (69,000) FORD IS TELLING ME THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY ARE REQUIRING A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF 1200 DOLLARS TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND SEE WHAT NEEDS REPAIRS AT MY EXPENSE. I BELIEVE FORD IS ONLY ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM WITH THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE NOW THAT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY.

WENT TO JUMPSTART DAUGHTER'S CAR, JUMP STARTED CAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS BEFORE CAR WAS JUMP STARTED. SCANN ED CAR AND FOUND TRANSMISSION CODE P2837. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR ONLY HAS 69,000 MI ON IT AND IT'S 3 YEARS OLD. GETTING A HOLD OF A LEMON LAWYER IN REGARDS TO GETTING SOME COMPENSATION FOR THESE FAULTY TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO KORF MOTORS FORD (520 E CHESTNUT ST, STERLING, CO 80751, (970) 522-1500) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE PCV NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE, HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL TANK SHOWED NO MAJOR DEFECTS AND THAT THE DEALER WAS NOT OBLIGATED TO CHANGE THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL DELIVERY MODULE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.*DT CONSUMER STATED NO PARTS WERE REPLACED AND FORD WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL.*JB

THE CAR WAS SERVICED FULLY, IT PERFORMS PERFECT AS IT SHOULD WHENEVER THE ENGINE IS COLD HOWEVER ONCE IT HEATS UP THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP, I HAVE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE FORD DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER THEY SAID IT'S A NEW AND IMPROVED TRANSMISSION HOWEVER I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND THE TRANSMISSION EQUIPPED TO MY CAR IS THE SAME TRANSMISSION USED IN PREVIOUS MODELS OF THE FORD FOCUS WITH THE SAME FAULTS AND ISSUES AS THE PREVIOUS MODELS THAT WERE RECALLED AND HAD A LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST FORD FOR SELLING FAULTY VEHICLES.

THE CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS. THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. THEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO STILL GO AND STOPS VERY HARD WHEN IT WANTS TO. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT AS DONE THIS WITHIN MONTHS. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS AND THERE ARE MANY MORE SAYING THE SAME THING.

POWER STEERING ASSIST, IN-OP. VEHICLE HAS 60K MILES. SERIOUS INJURIES MAY OCCUR, IF VEHICLE WAS TO LOOSE ASSIST WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY ASSIST GAVE UP IN THE PARKING LOT. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, THEIR ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NHTSA SHOULD FORCE FORD TO REMEDY THIS ISSUES.

I'VE FILLED OUT A COMPLAINT BUT NEEDED TO UPDATE IT. NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT SO I JUST FILLED OUT ANOTHER. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH STUTTERING FROM MY CAR FOR A WHILE. I JUST GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT IN 2019 THEY REALIZED THEY INSTALLED IMPROPER THINGS INTO THE CAR OR SOMETHING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS HONESTLY. I PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR BRO AND NOW WHAT. I HAVE TO GET RID OF IT?

MY TRANSMISSION IS GARBAGE. MY CAR SHAKES WHEN I ACCELERATE ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THST IT WAS MADE WITH THE BAD TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID ME GETTING A NEW ONE IS POINTLESS BECAUSE THERE ISN'T A GOOD ONE MADE FOR THE 2017 FORD FOCUS BECAUSE FORD MADE IT THAT WAY KNOWING IT WAS BAD. ALSO I DON'T KNOW IF MY ADAS SYSTEM IS JUST NON EXISTENT OR WHAT BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD IT EVER GO OFF BEFORE.

STEERING ASSIST FAILURE ON 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 6600 MILES. THIS OCCURRED AT THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR ONE WEEK AFTER WARRANTY ENDED, DUE TO QUARANTINE. DEALER STATES REPAIR NOT COVERED AND IS TRYING TO CHARGE $2700 FOR THE REPAIR. I SEE RECALLS ONLINE FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NOT FOR MY SPECIFIC CAR. I NEED TO GET REPAIRED, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS A VEHICLE FAULT AND FORD SHOULD COVER COST.

I FINANCED MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE IN OCTOBER 2018. IT HAD 43,600 APPROX MI ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS JUST TO WORK AND HOME (6 MI ONE WAY) MON - FRI AND WEEKEND ERRANDS IN TOWN, I NOTICED THE CAR STARTED HAVING A SHAKE WHEN I WOULD DRIVE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. MY DAD CAME AND GOT THE CAR TO HAVE A RECALL FOR THE FUEL FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION. HE ADVISED THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP 2 MORE TIMES SINCE AND I HAVE 68,500 MI ON THE VEHICLE NOW. THE SHAKING IS WORSE THAN EVER AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. I NEED FORD TO FIX THIS ISSUE PERMANENTLY. FORD HAS NOW TOLD ME THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I WENT 30 MI OVER AT THE TIME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION AND IS REFUSING TO ADMIT FORD HAS MADE A MISTAKE. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED THE FIRST TIME, NOT A RECURRING ISSUE THAT PUTS ADDITIONAL STRESS AND FEAR. ISN'T COVID ALREADY CAUSING ENOUGH OF THAT? THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF WHEN I HAVE TO STOP AND GO FORWARD DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED SHE NOTICED THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT HAD FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 733.

THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE CAR EVERY TIME I PUT GAS NOW, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT EMPTY IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN TURNS OFF AS IF IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT WAS JUST FUELED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND I WAS TOLD AT PEP BOYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS VALVE. ALSO, THE GAS METER IS WRONG, I COULD BE AT 25 MILES TO EMPTY AND DRIVE FOR LESS THAN A MILE AND THE COUNTER GOES DOWN AT LEAST 3 MILES LESS, THERE WAS A TIME THE CAR SAID I HAD 8 MILES TO EMPTY AND IT LITERALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL GENEROUS PASSERBY'S HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION ABOUT 5 BLOCKS AWAY

IT WOULDN'T CRANK ONLY AFTER GETTING GAS.AMD GOT WORSE THEN STRATED BOGGING DOWN WHEN STOPPED.I NOTICE HAD TO OPEN RECALLS AND OPEN LAW SUIT BEC FORD PUT OUT KNOWING THIS ISSUE AND SO IT HAD 2ND RECALL.SO FORD WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX ISSUE AND ANYTHING AFFECTED BY IT.AND I TOOK TO FORD DEALER N BHAM,AL AND THEY WHERE FULL OF IT AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT OUT PURGE VALVE AND THE MIN I LEFT IT GOT LOT WORSE AFTER THEY WHERE SUPPOSE FIX IT.AND SAID IT READ CODE THAT EFFECTED MY CADALIC CONVERTER.AND REFUSE TO FIX IT SO I MADE CASE WITH FORD AND WAS ON PHONE 4 HOURS AND FORD KEPT HAMG8ND UO ON ME FOR 4 HOURS AND I HAD GIVE THEM A TON OF SOME INFO EVEY TIME AM SO UPSET NOW CAR WOULDN'T START AS WELL IN FORD'S PARKING LOT AND ALMOST GOT HIT TRYJ G LEAVE THREE AND NEVER HAD THOSE ISSUES TILL THEY GOT AHOLD OF IT.AM.FURIOUS.AND THEY SAID THEY KEEP IT OVER NIGHT FIX IT THEN DIDN'T AND CALLED N 25 MIN ALL SUDDEN AND SAID ILTHE PURGE VALVE CODE CLEARED NOT THAT ANY MORE IT'S TRASH.ISSION AND I HAD NO SINGHS OF THAT AND IT BE OVER 2300 IAM SO MAD AND DIDN'T READ THAT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST BEFORE I COMPLAINED THEM TO FIX IT.NOW.I CAN'T DRIVE I NEED IT FIX ASASP AM WOMAN ALONE AND GOT TAKE CARE MY MOM IOF LUPAS ANDCANCER. I WANT MONEY BACK R FIXED NOW.HELP

RECALL 19S22 NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED FOR 2017 FORD FOCUS WITH A BUILD DATE EXTENDED FROM APRIL 2017 TO AT LEAST OCTOBER 2017. MINE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SYMPTOMS OF THIS RECALL AND IS NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS FOR THE FUEL TANK DEFORMATION RECALL FOR A STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE. CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING WITH CODES P0456 AND P1450

I PUT MY VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE, IT FELT LIKE I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS WHILE THE BRAKES WERE ON, THEN I WAS LEAVING A STORE WHEN MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT REVERSE AND A MESSAGE WOULD POP UP SAYING TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK. IT FINALLY STARTED BUT WOULDN'T GO OVER 11 MILES THEN IT DROPPED DOWN TO 4 MILES. SO, I HAD PARKED IT AND WENT TO TURN IT BACK ON BUT IT WOULDN'T TURN ON, IT WAS LIKE MY BATTERY HAD DIED.

WHILE BACKING UP OUT OF PARKING SPOT THE CAR STALLED. ADDITIONALLY AT TIMES WHEN BACKING UP THE CAR, IT REPORTS LOW GAS OR INCORRECT GAS AMOUNT. THIS ALIGNS WITH A KNOWN RECALL OF 18S32 FROM THE SAME DATE RANGE AND MANUFACTURING PLANT AS MY CAR BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THIS RECALL.

ON 11/02/2020 I STARTED MY CAR, WARMED IT UP AND THEN STARTED DRIVING. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR SHOOK AND PULLED WHEN SWITCHING GEARS FROM 1ST TO SECOND AND SEEMED TO WANT TO STALL. ALSO, WHEN BREAKING THE CAR WANTED TO KEEP ACCELERATING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS IN A MATTER OF A YEAR.

MY 2017 FOCUS CONTINUES TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING. IT HAPPENS WHILE ACCELERATING. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3 TIMES FOR THIS AND FOR THE SHUDDER/VIBRATION ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT NEUTRAL SHIFTS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. FORD COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE WITH THE NEUTRAL SHIFT AND WILL NOT FIX IT. THEY WILL ALSO NOT CORRECT THE SHUDDER / VIBRATION BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THEY CONFIRMED THE SHUDDER, IT WAS STILL "WITHIN SPEC". 2 DAYS AFTER I PICKED IT UP FROM SERVICE FOR THE ISSUES, THE NEUTRAL SHIFT HAPPENED AGAIN AND I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. I FEAR MY FIANCE WHO DRIVES THE CAR WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS THAT FORD IS NOT CORRECTING. I HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK FROM THE FORD DEALER THE ISSUES WERE "CORRECTED" AT.

ENGINE LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AND SHUT DOWN

MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 49000 MILES. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED PROBABLY AROUND 35000 MILES AND TCM UPDATED. HOWEVER, IT IS NOW SHUDDERING AGAIN AND WAS TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSIONS WITH THESE CARS WERE DEFECTED WHEN THEY WERE MADE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS HOT. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS NEEDED AND WAS TOWED TO APPLE FORD LINCOLN APPLE VALLEY (7200 150TH ST W, APPLE VALLEY, MN 55124) BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THREE TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. A CASE NUMBER WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 166,500.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING CAUSING THE CAR TO SHUDDER WHEN TURNING RIGHT ONLY OCCASSIONALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN RAINING JUST UNDER 59500 MILES ON IT

MY 2017 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION WENT OUT.

THE CAR WAS FULLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A STATE NUMBERED HIGHWAY. I PUT THE CAR INTO 1ST GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) AS USUAL AND GOT THE CAR MOVING. WHEN SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOT STUCK FULLY ENGAGED TO THE FLOOR, NOT ALLOWING ME TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND KEEP MOVING. I WAS ABLE TO FORCE THE CLUTCH TO DISENGAGE AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND GET THE CAR INTO 2ND GEAR. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN GOING FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THE CLUTCH WAS BURNED IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR MOVING UP TO SPEED AND IT TOOK THE ENTIRE NIGHT FOR THE SMELL TO DISSIPATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME AFTER THAT AND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING MORNING. SINCE THE DEALER CANNOT RECREATE THE ISSUE, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER THAN A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.
