IT SOMETIMES SHUT OFF AND SOMETIMES HAVE A HARD TIME DRIVING FOWARD. CODES P0087, P0783, P2872, COMES UP ON A DIAGNOSTIC. THAT'S DRIVING ON A STREET AND CAN'T DRIVE ON HIGHWAY ANYMORE.

STEERING
THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING AND IS VERY HARD TO TURN. THERE IS NO LIGHT OR CODE. IT'S VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT FORD WILL BE HEARING FROM OUR LAWYERS. THIS SHOULD'VE HAVE BEEN RECALLED ALONG WITH THE OTHER MODELS AND YEARS THAT HAD THE SAME ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEMS.

STEERING
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).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LOVE MY FORD FOR THE MOST PART; HOWEVER, THERE SEEMS TO BE A MULTITUDE OF SENSOR PROBLEMS ... THE ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND HAS TO BE REST AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE "OPEN DOOR" LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE RUNNING. TRUNK OPENING BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. THE WINDOW CLOSING BUTTON ONLY WORKS PART TIME ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE KNOBS FOR THE HEATING/AC NO LONGER WORK. THE AIR DIRECTIONAL BUTTON HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. RECENTLY, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MOTOR IS STILL WORKING. I PURCHASED MY 2007 FF IN 2011, PAID IT OFF IN 2016. IT NOW HAS OVER 235K MILES ON IT. WHILE ALL THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN A NUISANCE TO CONTEND WITH IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO OWN. I CURRENTLY AM WORKING ON GETTING THE GASKET CHANGED FOR A SECOND TIME, BUT THAT IS WORK MY SON TAKES CARE OF. I HAVE RELUCTANTLY BEGAN BEGAN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, AS THIS ONE IS FINALLY WEARING OUT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND WILL NOT RESTART. I SUSPECT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SIMILAR ISSUES DRIVERS ARE HAVING WITH THE EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE IN OTHER MODEL YEARS: "THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE MAY MALFUNCTION AND CREATE EXCESSIVE VACUUM IN THE FUEL VAPOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH CAN RESULT IN THE ENGINE STALLING WITHOUT RESTARTING. DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND REPLACE THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AS NEEDED. IF THE VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, DEALERS WILL ALSO INSPECT AND REPLACE THE CARBON CANISTER, FUEL TANK AND FUEL DELIVERY MODULE AS DETERMINED TO BE NEEDED. ALL REPAIRS WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE TO RESOLVE THE CONCERN."

A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE CLUTCH IS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT AND YET DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ALL OF THE TRANSMISSIONS AFFECTED, ONLY SOME. IT'S A $1500-$2000 REPAIR AND IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR FAULTY MACHINERY.
