STEERING
PARK ASSIST FAILURE MAKES THE CAR LOOSE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL DO IT WITH NO WARNING AND YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN NOT STEER. IT WILL NOT RESET AND THERE IS NO POWER STEERING. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT AS IT HAPPENED ALL OF A SUDDEN.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE HAS A REALLY BAD HESITATION WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH GEARS, IT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS ON HILLS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. VERY HORRIBLE SHUDDERING AND VIBRATION IN FRONT END. CLUNKING AND CHATTERING WHEN DRIVING. SLOW RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING. I FEEL LIKE MY CAR HAS TO SEARCH FOR THE GEAR SOMETIMES. RPM WILL RISE AND LOWER WEIRDLY WHEN SHIFTING. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND YEAR YET BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE JUST LIKE THE OLDER FOCUS'S. THIS WAS ALL IN MOTION UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I'VE TRIED TAKING TO DEALER BUT THEY SAY NO RECALL YET!!!! IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME, FEELS TO GET WORSE.

THE CAR HAS A BAD STUTTER FROM COMPLETE STOPS, OR EVEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN IT STUTTERS AND SHAKES. EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS THE RPM STAGGERS FROM 200 TO 800 JUST SITTING STILL. WHEN I'M IN TRAFFIC GOING UNDER 40MPH THE RPM STAGGERS BETWEEN 1-2000 RPM IT'S JUST UNSAFE AND WORRISOME AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY FORD! I'VE READY SERVAL DIFFERENT BLOGS WITH VARIOUS CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! IT WOULD BE SAD FOR SOMEONE TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEHIND THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD WON'T ADDRESS AND HANDLE THE ISSUE

EXPLODING SUNROOF - TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-5 AT A SPEED OF 60MPH IN TACOMA TODAY (7/5/2018) IN MY BRAND NEW 6 MONTH OLD 2018 FOCUS RS AND JUST PASSED 56TH STREET EXIT. SUDDENLY WITH WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED AND I WAS COVERED WITH GLASS AS THE SUNROOF COVER WAS OPEN. FORTUNATELY I HAD A HAT ON OTHERWISE THE VERY SMALL SHARDS MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN INTO MY HAIR, EYES AND FACE. PULLED OF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK A COUPLE PICTURES. THE DAMAGES FROM THE EXPLODING GLASS CAUSED ADDITIONAL DAMAGES TO THE ROOF AND WING OF THE CAR. THIS IS CURRENTLY ESTIMATED AT OVER $2600 IN DAMAGES. NOT TO MENTION THE CLEAN UP THE THE INTERIOR CAR WILL NEED. THANK GOD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE BACK SEAT AS THEY WOULD HAVE GOT THE BRUNT OF THE GLASS.

THE DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LOCK OR CLOSE. IT WILL FLY OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACKSEAT BUCKLED UP WHEN THE DOOR WHICH WAS LOCKED, FLEW OPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS I WENT AROUND A TURN. I HAVE TO KEEP IT STRAPPED SHUT WITH A ROPE SO IT DOESN'T FLY OPEN AND HURT SOMEONE, AND I CAN'T HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. EVEN IF I HAD IT IN A DIFFERENT SEAT WHO KNOWS IF THE OTHER DOORS WILL GO TOO. IT DOES NOT CLOSE OR LOCK AT ALL, EVEN WHEN NOT TURNING THE DOOR JUST HANGS OPEN. I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL BUT WHEN I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER IT SAYS IT'S NOT A PART OF THE RECALL.

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR HAS 101628 MILES ON IT AS MMY WIFE COMMUTES TO WORK ABOUT 1.5 HOURS EACH WAY PER DAY. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS ON TAKE OFF, DOES NOT KNOW WHEN TO SHIFT GEARS AT TIMES FROM 1ST TO 2ND COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE AND FROM 3RD TO 4TH ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS STOPPED GOING INTO REVERSE AT ALL. THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND THE WARRANTY HAS ALREADY RAN OUT FROM FORD BUT WE GOT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO THE REPAIR WILL BE ON ME THE NEXT TIME. THERE ARE TIMES THAT I WILL EASE ON THE GAS AND IT DOES NOT WANT TO ROLL THEN IT WILL JERK AND TAKE OFF. BY THE WAY THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE 3 YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR
