IN TRAFFIC MY CAR MOVED TOO SLOW THEN TOO FAST AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF IT. IT WAS JOLTING FORWARD THEN BACKWARD. A LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH SAYING FAULTY TRANSMISSION SERVICE NOW. I HAD ONLY 3 BLOCK TO DEALERSHIP TO GO AND THE CAR ALMOST CUT OUT THE WHOLE TIME. THEN IT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE, DEALERSHIP (NORRIS FORD) REPROGRAMMED THE CAR. I DROVE THE 1 MILE HOME IN SMOOTHNESS, BUT NOTICED WHEN I GOT HOME THE CLOCK WAS NO LONGER WORKING. IN THE MORNING I SAW THE DATE AND CLOCK BOTH WERE WRONG AND THEY WOULD NOT RESET. SO I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK. ABOUT 7 BLOCKS FROM THE DEALERSHIP I HAD TO STOP FOR RED LIGHT AND WHEN I TOUCH LIGHTLY ON THE GAS PEDAL THE CAR JOLTED ACROSS THE STREET! AGAIN I WAS LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. I TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THIS TIME THEY CHANGED THE CLUTCH. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY BRAND NEW FORD FOCUS FOR FEAR OF IT STOPPING IN TRAFFIC NOW. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR 3 MONTHS AND IT HAD 172 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT THAT WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN TEST DRIVING MILES I ONLY ADDED 273 MILES BEFORE THE FIRST INCIDENT. I FEAR FOR MINE AND OTHERS SAFETY WHEN I DRIVE NOW. YES I DROVE THE CAR SINCE THE REPLACED CLUTCH AND RIGHT NOW AFTER 20 MILES OF DRIVING IT SEEMS OK BUT IF THE SAME KIND OF CLUTCH WAS PUT BACK INTO THE CAR I FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. TOTAL MILES ON MY CAR NOW IS ONLY 486. *TR

FORD'S RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13S09 ONLY ADDRESSED CERTAIN MODELS PRODUCED THRU LATE 2013, HOWEVER MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN 3/2014 AND DISPLAYED THE SAME ISSUE. I'VE EXPERIENCED TWO OCCASIONS WHERE THE CAR LOST POWER AND DISPLAYED THE "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING MESSAGE ON CLUSTER. THE FIRST HAPPENED ON 11/7/14 WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. TOOK IT TO FORD DEALER WHO CLEARED CODE AND STATED IT'S IS FINE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 11/13/14 WHILE DRIVING UP ON MY DRIVEWAY. BOTH TIMES, THE CAR WORKED AGAIN AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND WAITING ABOUT 5 MINS. *TR

STEERING
WHILE PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. AN ALARM CHIMED BUT NO INFORMATION DISPLAYED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE USING ALL OF MY STRENGTH AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO DRIVE IT HOME. THE NEXT DAY THE STEERING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE SECOND TIME WAS DURING A K TURN. IT WAS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER OUT OF THE TURN BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT THE STEERING RETURNED. NO ALARM OR INFORMATION DISPLAYED. THE THIRD TIME WAS TURNING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. AN ALARM CHIMED AND "STEERING ASSIST FAILURE" DISPLAYED. FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE TO A DEALERSHIP AND ABLE TO STEER IT THERE AS I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE STRENGTH TO STEER IT HOME THROUGH TOWN AND WOULD NOT HAVE WANTED TO RISK TRYING IT ON THE INTERSTATE. I'M WAITING TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY WILL SAY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED DUE TO HESITATION OF ACCELERATION WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED. *TR

I FILED A COMPLAINT LAST MONTH ON 9/17/14 #10637121 ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GRINDING, LURCHING FORWARD AND SHIFTING POORLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY "RESET THE TRANSMISSION" AND I WAS ADVISED TO DRIVE THE CAR NICE AND WAS HANDED A PAPER ON THE TRANSMISSION ON THE FOCUS. ON 10/26/14 (9606 MILES), I HAD A MAJOR COOLANT LEAK AND HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE THE NEXT DAY. WHILE THERE I ALSO ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. I WAS ARGUED WITH AND HANDED A PAPER ON THE DUAL CLUTCH MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WHAT TO LISTEN FOR. I EXPLAINED THAT WHAT I WAS NOTICING (GRINDING, LURCHING AND HITTING THE GAS AND THE CAR NOT GOING) WAS NOT NORMAL AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD "LOOK" AT THE TRANSMISSION BUT WITH THEM RESETTING IT, THERE WAS PROBABLY NOTHING THEY CAN DO. AFTER A DAY AND A HALF OF MISDIAGNOSIS OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY HEATING CORE WAS LEAKING AND TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WAS FINE (NO LEAKS). I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND INSISTED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. HE AGREED TO TEST DRIVE IT AND CALLED AWHILE LATER AND SAID THAT THEY HAD HOOKED IT UP TO A MACHINE TO TEST THE VIBRATIONS IN THE ENGINE AND THAT MY FOCUS ENGINE VIBRATIONS FAR EXCEEDED THE NORMAL AND THEY WOULD BE APPROVED BY FORD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK TODAY AND ON THE SERVICE ORDER THEY 1) REPLACED THE HEATING CORE AND 2) REPLACED THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. WHEN THEY TOOK APART THE OLD CLUTCH, THEY FOUND SHARDS OF CLUTCH IN THE BELL-HOUSING AND METALLIC FLAKES. SO FOR NOTHING BEING WRONG, SHARDS OF CLUTCH SOUND SERIOUS TO ME!! MY CAR IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD (ONE ROAD TRIP TO NORTH CAROLINA) AND IT HAS LOST VALUE AND I WORRY ABOUT FUTURE CLUTCH ISSUES. THE 2014 FORD FOCUS STILL ONLY HAS A STANDARD WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UPON ACCELERATION, CAR HESITATES, STUTTERS, SHAKES AND MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, IT REALLY HESITATED AND TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL TO GET TO THE SPEED LIMIT. HENCE, SOMEONE WAS COMING UP QUICKLY BEHIND ME AND WAS VERY IRATE WITH ME. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING OTHER . . . LIKE ROAD RAGE BY THE OTHER DRIVER. *TR

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH 48 HOURS THE "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH ACCOMPANIED WITH A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND/OR THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THESE OCCURRED IN DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT SCENARIOS: WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, WHILE BRAKING, AND TWO OCCURRENCES WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH AND 35 MPH. THE BRAKES AND STEERING THANKFULLY STILL WORKED HOWEVER ACCIDENTS ALMOST OCCURRED IN THE TWO HIGHER SPEED SCENARIOS. THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN. THE WARNING WOULD DISAPPEAR WITH NO FURTHER INFORMATION. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE IS VERY POOR. IT LAGS, SHUDDERS VIOLENTLY, KNOCKS, ETC. IT EVEN SOMETIMES JOLTS FORWARD OR HESITATES. THESE ISSUES OCCUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, ON HILLS, AND ON TURNS. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE AND WORRIED ABOUT THESE ISSUES WHILE I'M DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR SHAKES BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A DUEL CLUTCH SYSTEM BUT IT SHOULDN'T SHAKE THE WHOLE CARE AND HESITATE TO SHIFT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT A DAY LATER THE PROBLEM COMES BACK. NOW THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE I HEAR ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M DRIVING. I ALSO FILED A LEMON LAW AND THEY SAID IT DOES NOT MEET THE LEMON LAW STANDARDS ACCORDING TO MY STATE. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT IN AGAIN FOR THE FOURTH TIME SO THEY CAN "FIX" THE PROBLEM AND IF THEY DON'T THEN I'LL FILE ANOTHER LEMON LAW!!! *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING IS VERY RESPONSIVE - THERE IS NO CENTER ON THE STEERING. YOU MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL 1/4" AND THE CAR WILL MOVE. WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING YOU NEED TO CONSTANTLY CORRECT THE STEERING AND ARE OFTEN GOING BACK AND FORTH IN YOUR LANE. YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE ROAD FOR A SECOND OR YOU WILL BE OFF THE ROAD OR IN THE OPPOSITE LANE. I GLANCED OVER TO THE PASSENGER WINDOW TO SEE HOW FAR IT WAS DOWN AND I ALMOST HIT A STONE WALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND GLANCED DOWN TO SEE THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTONS AND WHEN HE LOOKED BACK UP HE WAS 3' ACROSS THE CENTER LINE. NEITHER TIME DID WE HAVE OUR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR MORE THAN 1 SECOND. WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE HANDLING IS WORSE - ON THE MASS PIKE OR GARDEN STATE PARKWAY YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT ALL THE TIME. IF YOU ARE CHANGING LANES YOU NEED TO BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO CHECK YOUR SIDE MIRRORS BEFORE CHANGING THE CAR WILL OFTEN CROSS INTO ONE LANE OR THE OTHER. WHEN YOU PULL OUT TO PASS ON A 2 LANE ROAD YOU BETTER HAVE 2 HANDS ON THE WHEEL OR YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL - THE SAME GOES IF YOU NEED TO GET ON THE BRAKES HARD. THE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE TWO HANDS ON THE WHEEL YOU ARE LIABLE TO END UP HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE OR GOING OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY FORD DEALER AND THEY DROVE IT. THEY DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING, BUT WHEN YOU DRIVE 40 MILES ROUNDTRIP TO WORK EVERYDAY YOU NOTICE IT. THEY DID CHECK FOR RECALLS, ETC AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE LONGER THE TRIP THE WORSE IT IS. I TRADED IN A 2012 FOCUS FOR THIS CAR AND AM I EVER SORRY I DID. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE 3 YEAR LEASE TO BE UP AND JUST PRAY I DON'T HURT SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THE HANDLING. WE HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS EXACT OR VERY SIMILAR TO MINE AND THEY ARE ALL HAVING TO DO WITH THE 2014 FOCUS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FOCUS BACK ON APRIL 24, 2014. I TOOK MY CAR TO CROWN FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THE SECOND TIME ON 9/02/14 TO BE SERVICE FOR SHUDDERING, LOSS OF POWER, PASSENGER WINDOW WOULDN'T LET DOWN, IT ROLLS BACKWARDS ON INCLINE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AND HAS THIS GRINDING NOISE. FORD WAS SAYING THIS IS NORMAL, IF THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL, THEN I PASS ON PURCHASING A FORD. I FEEL THIS CAR IS NEEDING TO BE RECALL BEFORE THERE ARE MORE SERIOUS INJURIES. I AM 21 YEARS OLD AND I FEEL THIS CAR IS AN INCREASE RISK FOR A ACCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH FORD'S 'AUTOMATIC/MANUAL HYBRID' TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE BEGAN STUTTERING ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING. PURCHASED VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JANUARY WITH 44 MILES ON IT. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM FULL STOP, VEHICLE SHUDDERS AS IF THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE AIR INTAKE, FUEL, OR TRANSMISSION. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO TWO SEPARATE FORD DEALERSHIPS (INCLUDING WHERE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED) AND WAS TOLD THAT THAT'S JUST HOW IT RUNS. PREVIOUS CAR WAS A MANUAL. WHOMEVER IS OPERATING THE CLUTCH UNDER THE HOOD, NEEDS A LESSON IN DRIVING! FEELS LIKE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL EVERY TIME. *TR

THE VEHICLE REGULARLY SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A LOW SPEED ROLL. LESS FREQUENTLY THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO LAG AND THEN LUNGE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DECELERATING AND THE TRANSMISSION IS DOWNSHIFTING. THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE INDICATED THE PROBLEMS ARE COMMON FOR WHICH THERE IS NO CORRECTIVE ACTION. THE DEALER EXPLAINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS THE MOST CURRENT TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATE. WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF FORD, THROUGH A PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED BY THE DEALER, THE EXISTENCE OF A KNOWN PROBLEM WAS DENIED BY FORD. DURING THE COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE DENIED STATING THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE SHUDDERING AND HESITATION CHARACTERISTICS PRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN QUICK ACCELERATION IS REQUIRED. THE HERKY JERKY NATURE OF THE SHUDDERING AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTING CAUSE CONCERN THAT, IN THE FUTURE, THE PARTS IN THE TRANSMISSION WILL WEAR AND FAIL PREMATURELY. *TR

IN JUNE OF 2014 NOT EVEN A FULL 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT MY 2014 FORD FOCUS IT STARTED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S HAVING A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND WHEN IT FINALLY GETS MOVING IT JERKS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A MANUAL AND IT'S AN AUTOMATIC. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND IT BEGAN TO SPUTTER. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT ACCELERATED THEN JERKED AND DROPPED DOWN TO 50 MPH WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE GAS. AT TIMES, IT SLOWED NEARLY TO A STOP THEN WOULD LURCH FORWARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THEN BACK ON, THE WARNING LIGHT WENT AWAY. HAVING TO TRANSPORT YOUR CHILDREN DAILY MAKES IT A CONCERN ESPECIALLY UPON READING REPORTS ABOUT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS 2014 FORD FOCUS ARE HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM FOR WHICH NOTHING IS BEING DONE. *TR

WHEN I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT AND THEN TAKE OFF AGAIN MY CAR SHUDDERS AS I TRY TO START DRIVING. THEN, WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE IT LAGS, AND I HAVE TO PUT THE PEDDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE IT WILL ACCELERATE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BIT. THIS OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. OFTEN WHEN I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE OFF AND I PUT MY FOOT DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS MIDWAY THROUGH AND AFTER THE INITIAL TAKE OFF THE CAR STALLS. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET HIT MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS NOT SAFE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS HAZARD. *TR
