POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BOUGHT A NEW 2012 FORD FOCUS FOR MY DAUGHTER SO SHE WOULD BE SAFE. SHE JUST MOVED ACROSS THE STATE FOR COLLEGE. WE HAVE HAD CONSTANT SYMPTOMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND SHE HAS BEEN ON THE FREEWAY 3 TIMES WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY JUST COMES TO A CRAWL WITH THE ENGINE SHAKING AND JERKING. THIS MAKES THE CAR UNRESPONSIVE. DEALER UPDATED TCM - PCM AND REPLACED CLUTCH AND THROW OUT BEARING IN AUGUST 2015. SEPTEMBER 2015 SHE LETS ME KNOW THAT WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR DID THE SAME THING, LOSS OF POWER NO CONTROL OF THROTTLE AND THE CAR IS SHAKING AND JERKING. TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. JERKING AND SHUDDERING OF THE TRANSMISSION. I'M AFRAID MY DAUGHTER AND OTHERS ARE GOING TO BE SEVERELY INJURED WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NO CONTROL ON THE FREEWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ THAT PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED THEIR CLUTCH AND BEARING 5 TIMES? IT DOESN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. IT'S LIKE PUTTING A BAND-AID ON AN OPEN ARTERY. PROBLEM HAPPENS AT SLOW AND FAST SPEEDS.

DOOR LATCH ON DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT LATCH AND CLOSE, I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I KNOW THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR THE FORD FIESTA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, I AM PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE SAME LATCH ASSEMBLY THAT'S ON THE FIESTA.

SEVERE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING, LURCHING, LACK OF POWER AND SPEED CONTROL ESPECIALLY AT RED LIGHTS. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ENTERED THAT IT OCCURRED 12/12/13, IT ACTUALLY HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR IN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID "MAYBE YOUR WIFE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE AN AUTOMATIC".

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SHUTTERING, NO POWER TO WHEELS, VERY SLOW AND SUDDENLY ENGAGING, EXCESSIVE CLUTCH SLIP, LOST REVERSE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TRYING TO CROSS TRAFFIC, AT THE STOP SIGN I PROCEEDED TO GO ACROSS TRAFFIC TO THE MEDIAN TURN LANE. CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE GEAR, WHEN IT DID IT WAS VERY SLOW AND NO POWER EVEN WITH GAS MASHED TO THE FLOOR. ALL THIS TIME I HAD CARS APPROACHING ME FROM THE SOUTH BOUND LANE, VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY. I THEN DECIDED TO JUST MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND GET OFF THE ROAD, WHICH WAS HARD BECAUSE THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IN THIS CAR WENT OUT MONTHS AGO WITH STILL NO RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. I TURNED RIGHT DOWN A SIDE STREET AND TRIED TO TURN AROUND ONLY TO FIND OUT I HAVE NO REVERSE GEAR NOW, I AM SO OVER THIS LEMON OF A CAR. BUYERS BEWARE, STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM FORD PRODUCTS ESPECIALLY THIS MODEL CAR. FORD TOUTS THAT THEY ARE COMMITTED TO SAFETY, I FIND THAT HILARIOUS. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU LET A VEHICLE WITH THE TRACK RECORD THIS MODEL HAS WITH STEERING GOING OUT AND TRANSMISSIONS JUST QUITTING WHEN THEY WANT TO, TO STILL BE ON THE ROAD? A LIFE THREATENING DANGER TO THE DRIVER AS WELL AS ANYONE THAT IS SHARING THE ROAD WITH THE VEHICLE. THE NEXT DAY, ENGINE LIGHT GONE, CAR SHIFTS NORMAL?????? VEHICLE IS AT FORD NOW, THEY HAVE A RECALL TO RE-PROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE?

MY FORD FOCUS WAS SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.THE TRANSMISSION CONTAINS A DEFECT THAT CAUSES, AMONG OTHER PROBLEMS, TRANSMISSION SLIPS, BUCKING, KICKING, JERKING, HARSH ENGAGEMENT, PREMATURE INTERNAL WEAR, SUDDEN ACCELERATION, DELAY IN DOWNSHIFTS, DELAYED ACCELERATION, DIFFICULTY STOPPING THE VEHICLE, AND, EVENTUALLY, TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THESE CONDITIONS PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THEY SEVERELY AFFECT MY ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR'S SPEED, ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. THESE DEFECTS MAKE THE FOCUS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, NOT ONLY FOR THE PASSENGERS IN THE FOCUS, BUT ALSO FOR PEDESTRIANS AND PASSENGERS OF OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES, INCLUDING FAMILIES AND CHILDREN.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND SHUDDERS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND THE CLUTCH IS CONSTANTLY ENGAGING/DISENGAGING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AT ITS WORST AFTER THE VEHICLE IS HOT FROM TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IN ADDITION TO THE SHAKE AND SHUDDERING, THERE IS AT TIMES A LACK OF POWER WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR WILL INCREASE ENGINE RPM, BUT THE CAR IS SLUGGISH TO TAKE OFF. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THIS CAN BE A BIT FRIGHTENING BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS QUICKLY AS YOU ANTICIPATE. IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION IS IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. YOU CAN HEAR THE PULL ON THE ENGINE WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THESE TWO ISSUES HAVE NEVER OCCURRED SIMULTANEOUSLY. EITHER THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND SHUDDERS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP OR THERE IS A LACK OF ACCELERATION. NEVER DO THEY OCCUR TOGETHER. I HAVE RETURNED THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE HAD EVERY SOFTWARE UPDATE AVAILABLE APPLIED. I AM TOLD AT EVERY VISIT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OPERATING NORMALLY. I'M CONCERNED THAT ONE DAY I WILL PULL INTO TRAFFIC THOUGH AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 93,000 MILES ON IT.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, STEERING
WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH MY 2012 FORD FOCUS ON AUGUST 18, 2015 HAS NOW HAPPENED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE THEN. ON 8/21/2015 MY VEHICLE WAS DROPPED OFF AT SKINNER & DAMULIS TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (FIELD SERVICE ACTION: 15B22 TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING FOR OVERT TCM FAILURE WARNING). ON AUGUST 27, 2015 WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH AGAIN I HAD THE SAME LOSS OF POWER, THIS TIME HAD AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND ME THAT WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN, I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND NEEDED TO USE REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE, IT JUST REVVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, CALLED FORD, AGAIN, AND TOLD THEM MY ISSUE. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE AFTER THE PHONE CALL I WAS ABLE TO PUT IN REVERSE. I RETURNED VEHICLE TO SKINNER & DAMULIS ON 9/3/2015, VEHICLE WAS "REPAIRED" ON 9/4/2015 AND INVOICE STATED MY CONCERN: CAR HAVING ISSUES WITH REVVING AND WON'T GO INTO REVERSE AT TIMES AND THEIR CORRECTION WAS THEY FOUND TCM & PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE AND PERFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATE. ON 9/25/2015 I AGAIN HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH REVVING WHILE DRIVING (35-40 MPH) AND WAS AGAIN UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE. CAR HAD 90,111 MILES AT THE TIME. CONTACTED FORD AND WAS GIVEN CASE# CAS-7944030 AND WILL BE IN CONTACT WITH JOHN FROM FORD BY MONDAY EVENING. THIS NO LONGER WORKS FOR ME. THIS CAR NEEDS TO GO, IT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE, ME, PEOPLE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE, SOMETHING AND I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE MY FAMILY SUED BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. I NEED A VEHICLE AS AN OUTSIDE SALES PERSON AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY 2012 FORD FOCUS. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN BACK BY FORD AND DESTROYED. IT HAS NO TRADE VALUE AND I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER FAMILY TO HAVE THIS CAR AND GET KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THESE ISSUES.

I HAVE A 2012 FORD FOCUS SEL SEDAN. I WAS REMOVING SOME ITEMS FROM THE BACK SEAT AND UPON CLOSING THE RIGHT-HAND REAR DOOR THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH. TRIED LOCKING THE DOOR REMOTELY BEFORE CLOSING. NO EFFECT. TRIED JOGGING THE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM TO SEE IF IT WAS STUCK SOMEHOW. NO EFFECT. I HAVE TO TIE A STRING TO THE DOOR HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE AROUND THE FRONT PASSENGER HEADREST IN ORDER TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED! TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, THE FRONT-PASSENGER DOOR LATCH MECHANISM FAILED LESS THAN A WEEK AGO! A REPLACEMENT PART IS ON ORDER FOR IT FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. FORTUNATELY, THE FRONT DOOR WILL STAY CLOSED IF IT IS LOCKED BEFORE CLOSING IT, BUT THIS IS STILL A RIDICULOUS COMPONENT FAILURE.

WHEN EXCELLING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE CAR JERKS AS IF THE CLUTCH IS NOT CATCHING. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES IN ONE YEAR. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE CLUTCH PLATES AND THEY SAID I HAD A TRANSMISSION LEAK. A CAR THAT IS STILL UNDER FULL WARRANTY SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES. THE CAR STILL JERKS ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE REPLACED MULTIPLE THINGS ON THE CAR.

HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. ALSO, ONE TIME, VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 35 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON A 4-LANE HIGHWAY, AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH. DEALERSHIP HAS REPROGRAMMED COMPUTER FOUR TIMES, AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ONCE. PURCHASED THIS CAR USED IN DECEMBER 2013. IT HAD 15,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. PROBLEM DIDN'T APPEAR DURING MY OWNERSHIP UNTIL APPROX. 20,000 MILES, SO VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR OHIO LEMON LAW WHICH STATES THE PROBLEM MUST SHOW UP DURING THE FIRST YEAR OR FIRST 18,000 MILES. I DO NOT FEEL THIS CAR IS SAFE, AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON THE INTERSTATE.

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON A LARGE HIGHWAY MY 2012 FORD FOCUS TURNED IT SELF OFF. THE ACCELERATOR BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND THE CAR LOST SPEED QUICKLY. DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE ALLOWED ME TO CAREEN OFF ONTO THE MEDIAN WITHOUT INJURY OR ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALER. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT IN WHICH THIS CAR HAS EXHIBITED A LOSS OF POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER ALLEGED TO FIX THE ISSUE THE FIRST TIME AND A SERVICE NOTICE HAD BEEN RECENTLY ISSUED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEALER THE SERVICE NOTICE MAY NOT BE A FACTOR IN THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION.
