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

GAS GADGET (AND MILES) WILL READ 1/2 TANK (200 OR SO MILE) AND WITH NO WARNINGS STALL (TURN OFF) EVEN ONCE PUTTING GAS IN VEHICLE HARD TO GET IT STARTED!ALSO AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON (MOST THE TIME) ENGINE LIGHT IS ON.

I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE TURN OFF ON ME AT LEAST 5 TIMES EVEN WITH MY DISABLE SON WITH ME, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND WE COULD'VE BEEN HURT OR WORSE!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I THINK I HAVE A FAULTY FUEL MODULATOR RELATED TO THE RECALL OF THE BOSCH FUEL PUMP SYSTEMS THAT'S AFFECTED THE 2014 FORD FOCUS AND THE 2015 VW'S. MY CAR WON'T START TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY AFTER FULL REFILL OF GAS TANK. I'VE NOTICED THAT GAS ACTUALLY SPILLS OUT UNDER THE CAR AFTER FILLING UP ALL THE WAY. OCASSIONALLY MY CAR ENGINE WILL STOP ENTIRELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! IT'S HAPPENED TWICE NOW WHEN SHIFTING INTO 1ST AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED IT'S THE FUEL MODULATOR AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHER RECALLED UNITS. THANK YOU!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FROM THE VERY FIRST YEAR THAT I BOUGHT THIS CAR, (2015) IT HAS HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH IT; IT SHAKES, SHUTTERS, 9EVEN AT 40-50 MPH) USES WAY TOO MUCH GAS, IT HAD A BADLY CORRODED BATTERY, THE CLUTCH AND TRANSMISSION BOTH, HAD PROBLEMS AND RECALLS!! I WAS RAISED, BELIEVING THAT EITHER FORD OR CHEVROLET, WERE THE AMERICAN CARS TO OWN; NOT ANYMORE, CUSTOMER SERVICE, AFTER THE SALE, IS A JOKE; BOTH AUTONATION'S (850 N. BURLESON BLVD, BURLESON, TX 76028 AND THE 5000 BRYANT IRVIN RD, 76132 LOCATIONS ARE HORRIBLE!! AFTER I PAY THIS LOSER OF A CAR OFF, I WILL NEVER BUY FORD AGAIN!!!
