ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I LEASE TWO FORD FOCUSES; ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR MY DAUGHTER (UNDER MY WIFE'S OWNERSHIP). THE CAR HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE AND ONCE ON MY DAUGHTER. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AT SPEED OF 35 MILES PER HOUR IN JUNE 2013 AND THE SECOND TIME AT LESS THAN 2 MILES HOUR IN AUGUST 2013. THE FIRST TIME, IT ASKED ME TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE AND STALLED. I PULLED OVER AND PARKED THE CAR, LOOKED AT THE WHEELS THINKING THAT IT MAY HAVE HAPPENED DUE TO LOW AIR, HOWEVER, NOTHING. I SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND THEN RESTARTED AFTER TWO MINUTES, IT STARTED JUST FINE. THAT IS UNTIL THE SECOND TIME WHEN IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT THE CORNER OF 11TH AND J STREET IN SACRAMENTO, CA. I GOT OUT OF THE CITY GARAGE MADE A RIGHT TURN ON 11TH TO MAKE A LEFT ON J STREET. AT THE LIGHT, IT JUST SHUT DOWN WITH THE WARNING WITHOUT ABILITY TO PULL OVER. I HAD TO WAIVE THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME TO GO AROUND. I COULD NOT DO MUCH. SAME THING, AFTER TWO MINUTES, THE CAR RESTARTED. AT BOTH TIMES, THE CAR WAS FULLY CHARGED. SIMILARLY, THIS HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER, WHO FREAKED OUT AND SHE CALLED ME. I TOLD HER IT MAY BE GLITCH AS IT HAD HAPPENED TO ME THE FIRST TIME AROUND. SHE PULLED OVER, PARKED, WAITED FOR TWO MINUTES, RESTARTED AND SO FAR HER CAR IS FINE. WHOM SHOULD I REPORT THIS TO? THE FIRST TIME, IT GAVE ME TIME TO PULL OVER, HOWEVER, THE SECOND TIME, IT JUST SHUT DOWN. I THOUGHT FORD KNEW ABOUT IT THUS DID NOT REPORT. PLEASE HELP ME REPORT THIS. I LOVE THE CAR AS THERE IS NO MORE GAS STATION TRIPS, HOWEVER, IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN
- WHILE IN DRIVE AND MOVING FORWARD AT 55 MPH THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AND NO POWER WAS TRANSMITTED TO THE WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS ALSO HAPPENED AT 15 MPH GOING AROUND A TURN FOR 4 SECONDS BEFORE POWER TO THE WHEELS RESUMED. DURING THESE TWO OCCURRENCES THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND BEHAVING AS IF THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL. - AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT MOVED FORWARD AS EXPECTED ABOUT 2 FEET AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE TRANSMISSIONS WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL 4 ATTEMPTS OF PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. - ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE TRANSMISSION WOULD RAPIDLY SHIFT UP AND DOWN WHILE MOVING FORWARD BETWEEN 5 AND 40 MILES PER HOUR. BY RAPIDLY, I MEAN IT WAS SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEARS AT A RATE OF ABOUT 4 SHIFTS PER SECOND. THIS RESULTED IN ERRATIC SPEED AT CONGESTED INTERSECTIONS AS WELL AS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND REGULAR ROADS. - ON 2 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AT ALL. THIS IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO THE BEFORE MENTIONED ISSUES BECAUSE THE CAR WAS CONFUSED AND THOUGHT IT WAS IN GEAR. - SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WOULD CAUSE THE CAR TO LAG AND THEN LURCH. - 1ST GEAR WAS MUSHY WHEN TAKING OFF THEN WOULD SUDDENLY LURCH. THESE ARE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND FLUID ON THE CLUTCH PADS AND MOST LIKELY ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE SENSORS IN THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. FULL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND SHAFT SEAL REPLACEMENT IS BEING PERFORMED BY DEALER. VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD WITH ABOUT 4K MILES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 15MPH AND NOTICED THE STOP SAFELY NOW ICON ALERTING ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION THE CAR WAS STALLED WITH THE STOP SAFELY NOW LIGHT STILL ILLUMINATED. I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULD NOT ACTIVATE. I EXITED THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR OF BEING REAR-ENDED. AFTER 5 MINUTES I ATTEMPTED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. THE CAR IS NOW AT DEALER. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TRIED TO TELL DEALERSHIP ABOUT STUTTERING OF CAR WHEN IT IS SHIFTING, RESPONSE WAS NOT ENOUGH MILES ON IT, NOTHING WAS CHECKED OUT. ALSO CALLED DEALERSHIP AGAIN ABOUT THE STUTTERING, HAD THE FEELING THEY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY. OIL CHANGE AT 5000 MILES, WAS ASKED ABOUT HOW I LIKED THE NEW STANDARD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WAS NOT IMPRESSED, WAS TAKEN OUT ON THE ROAD, HAD A LOUD SCREECH IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, WAS TOLD SOMETIMES A SOMETHING GETS LOOSE AND AIR GETS UNDER IT AND IT SCREECHES**.2ND OIL CHANGE, HAD ENOUGH OF THE RUN AROUND, MADE SOME NOISE AND GOT THE CAR CHECKED OUT ON A COMPUTER, LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY FOUND A BAD CLUTCH, THEY ARE REPLACING IT AT NO COST TO ME, PROBLEM IS I DON'T WANT THIS CAR ANYMORE, I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, & I FEEL IT IS A " LARGE RED LEMON "& I WANT IT REPLACED WITH A GOOD DEPENDABLE NEW CAR, I DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID TO DRIVE. THANK YOU, WOULD LIKE TO THINK THIS WOULD HELP MY CAUSE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BRAKED TO A STOP AT A BUSY ENTRANCE TO A TRAFFIC ROTARY. TRAFFIC STARTED UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. I SAW A STOP SAFELY NOW MESSAGE ON THE LEFT HAND DIGITAL DISPLAY. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE OR START AGAIN. HAD TO PUSH CAR OUT OF BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC. STATE OF CHARGE WAS GOOD FOR THE TRIP. PROBLEM WAS NOT EXPLAINED BY DISPLAY. OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS MILD. CAR WAS FLAT-BEDDED TO MY FORD DEALER, WHERE IT STILL SITS TODAY. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS IF IT HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY, AND I HAD BEEN SURROUNDED WITH TRAFFIC BESIDE ME INSTEAD OF ONLY BEHIND AND IN FRONT.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE STUTTERS AND GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO SHIFT SOON ENOUGH AND FREQUENTLY WILL LOSE POWER TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING OUT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM IN CASE IT TAKES A COUPLE SECONDS FOR IT TO GET MOVING AGAIN. IT ALSO ROLLS BACKWARDS ON HILLS AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE KEEPS RUNNING FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AFTER I'VE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY. *JB

I HAVE A FORD FOCUS EV 2013. TWICE THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND THE MESSAGE APPEARS ASKING YOU TO PULL OVER AND STOP. THIS IS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS. FURTHER, THE SYNC SOFTWARE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE GPS SHOWS WRONG LOCATION, INCLUDING THAT THE CAR IS AT THE MICHIGAN ASSEMBLY PLANT, CLOCK SHOWS WRONG TIME, PHONE DOES NOT CONNECT OR WILL NOT DISCONNECT AND THE REAR CAMERA PICTURE SHOWS WHILE DRIVING FORWARD. *JB

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
VEHICLE GRINDS GEARS FREQUENTLY. FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR VEHICLE WILL SHAKE, LOOSE POWER AND ALMOST STALL BEFORE ENGINE REGAINS POWER AND SHIFTS TO GO FORWARD. TAKEN TO FORD 4 TIMES. THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL AND JUST NEEDS TO BE BROKEN IN. AT ONE VISIT, THEY GAVE ME A 2 PAGE HANDOUT ON HOW DUAL CLUTCH ENGINE WORKS, AS IF THAT JUSTIFIES THE PERFORMANCE. THEY FINALLY REPLACED CLUTCH WHICH HELPED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE ORIGINAL PROBLEMS RETURNED. NOW, ON A GOOD DAY, THE CAR JUST GRINDS IN 3RD GEAR. MEANWHILE, FORD DOES NOTHING, SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR HAS LOCKED ME OUT THREE TIMES WHEN I HAD THE KEYS IN MY POCKET THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO CALL FOR HELP AND THE BLUE TOOTH WAS OUT. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED THE DEALER 25 MILES AWAY . I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND DROVE TO DEALER AND THEY PUT A NEW SD CARD IN THE CONSOLE, SAYING THE WRONG CARD WAS BEING USED. NOW, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A TEST DRIVE AND THEY SAID THE TIRES ARE OUT OF BALANCE AND NEVER BALANCED AT THE FACTORY. THE CAR LOOSES POWER ON STEEP HILLS AND SOME TIMES ROLLS BACK ON HILLS. THE DEALER SAYS THE TRANSMISSION WILL MEMORIZE MY DRIVING HABITS . THE TRANSMISSION TWO MONTHS LATER STILL SHUDDERS UNTIL IT WARMS UP AND HESITATES TO SHIFT T TIMES AND I FEEL THE NEED TO USE THE THROTTLE IN BETWEEN SHIFTS. THE TRANSMISSION WILL CLUNK EVERY NOW AND THE AS THE GEARS ARE OUT OF SYNC NOW, THIS CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND SEEMS TO TRY AND CORRECT ITSELF ELECTRONICALLY. THE TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO LOOSE ONE OR BOTH OF ITS CLUTCHES AT ANYTIME. THE CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN . AN EXAMPLE THE CAR DOWN SHIFTED ON ME AND A CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. THE DEALER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT TELLS THE SAME STORY. THAT'S HOW A DCT IS. FORD NEEDS TO HELP THE DEALERS AND STEP UP. THE GOVERNMENT OUGHT GET AFTER FORD. THE CAR IS UNSAFE, UNRELIABLE AND NEEDS A RECALL. THE CAR HAS 3600 MILES ON IT AND RUNS LIKE 1936 FORD MANUAL SHIFT. WHAT A WASTE OF 25K, NO MORE AMERICAN CARS FOR ME. *JB

SEAT BELTS
MY FIVE YEAR OLD SON WAS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER REAR OF THE FORD FOCUS EV (2013) IN A BOOSTER SEAT (BOTTOM ONLY, NO BACK). HE MANAGED TO WRAP THE SEAT BELT AROUND HIS TORSO. WHEN MY WIFE ARRIVED HOME AND PARKED, MY SON UNHOOKED THE SEAT BELT, BUT THE BELT HAD LOCKED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE BELT WAS VERY TIGHT AGAINST MY SONS CHEST. WE TRIED TO WIGGLE HIM OUT AND TO RELEASE THE TENSION ON THE BELT, BUT WITH EACH TRY THE BELT TIGHTEN MORE. HE BECAME VERY SCARED AND WE CUT THE SEAT BELT.

THIS VEHICLE SHUTTERS, JERKS AT EACH STOP. IT FEELS LIKE IT GETS NO POWER WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. SOMETIMES ITS LIGHT SHUTTERING/JERKING, OTHER TIMES ITS VIOLENT SHUTTERING AND JERKING TO THE POINT WHERE IT JERKS SO BAD THE CAR SHUTS OFF. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY KEEP TELLING US ITS A "GREEN CLUTCH" AND JUST KEEP DRIVING IT TO GET IT BROKEN IN. WE DO NOT SEE AN IMPROVEMENT OVER AFTER A WEEK OF DAILY DRIVING. WE HAVE VISITED MANY SITES AND REALIZE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE WHO PURCHASED A 2012,2013 FORD FOCUS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TT

I WENT AND TRADED IN MY MUSTANG FOR SOMETHING WITH BETTER GAS MILEAGE WHICH ENDED UP BEING A 2013 FORD FOCUS (MANUAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). THE FIRST ONE I GOT WAS IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR GRINDING NOISES WHEN IT TRIED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE FIRST TIME THEY BARELY HAD IT A DAY AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE SECOND THROUGH THE REST OF THE TIMES I HAD IT OUT THERE THEY JUST REBOOTED THE COMPUTER AND SAID IT IS FINE AND WILL BE FINE. NOT EVEN TWO DAYS LATER I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COULD GET THE CAR TO MOVE. I BARELY MADE 3 PAYMENTS ON THAT CAR. I KEPT TELLING THEM THIS WAS A LEMON AND THEY WOULDN'T TAKE IT BACK. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE LADY I TALKED TO SAID "WELL MY SONS FOCUS HASN'T BEEN GIVING HIM ANY TROUBLE. THAT MADE ME REALLY PISSY. I TOLD THE LADY I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HER SONS CAR YOU SHOULD FIX MINE. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANOTHER FOCUS THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE "MANUAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION" AND THEY DID SO I GOT THAT ONE INSTEAD OF THE PIECE OF CRAP I HAD. NOW I HAVE NOT EVEN MADE A SINGLE PAYMENT ON THIS NEW CAR AND IT IS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THIS IS NORMAL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FOCUS OR FORD AGAIN. I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND OF FORD IT IS. *TT

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR NEW 2013 FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC HOME FROM SCHOOL AT APPROXIMATELY 35MPH WHEN THE "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE STARTED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT BEFORE SHE COULD GET SAFELY TO THE CURB, THE CAR SHUT DOWN. SHE WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALER. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS 'STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT CARS BREAK DOWN BUT COMPLETELY DISABLING THE CAR IN THIS WAY COULD LEAD TO A SERIOUS CRASH. *TT

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED - AS I WAS DRIVING THE HIGHWAY TO GO HOME, THE CARS MOTOR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, AFTER BARELY MAKING IT TO THE SHOULDER (INCHES FROM TRAFFIC) I LOOKED AT THE ESTIMATED MILES TO EMPTY, WHICH STATED 17 MILES TO EMPTY - YET I WAS OUT OF FUEL. SEEMS FORD FOCUS HAS A INCORRECT READING ON THE FUEL ECONOMY/AND OR ESTIMATED PORTION THAT COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. (I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE DASH READOUTS AS WELL). *TR
