WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH BEHIND A PICKUP TRUCK, I CAME OVER THE TOP OF A HILL AND DOWN TO BOTTOM WHERE ROAD IS FLAT AND WAS ABLE TO PASS THE TRUCK. I SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE THE PASS (I HAD MY FOOT OFF GAS AND BRAKE BOTH). I COULD START THE PASS WITHOUT PUSHING ON GAS AT THIS TIME. I WAS BESIDE THE TRUCK WHEN I STARTED PUSHING ON GAS TO SPEED UP THEN INSTEAD OF UP SHIFTING, THE RPMS WENT UP AND ACTED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL. I KEPT LETTING OFF GAS AND SLOWLY PUSHING ON GAS. THE TRUCK ENDED UP STOPPING IN THE ROAD BEHIND ME. I ALMOST HAD TO STOP WITH FOOT OFF GAS TILL THE TRANSMISSION CAUGHT AND I WAS FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT IT AFFECTED ANOTHER DRIVER AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY FOR ME, THE DRIVER STOPPED AND GAVE ME THE ROOM TO SLOW WAY DOWN. READING IN THE BOOK FROM CAR SAYS WHEN FOOT OF GAS IT SHUTS GAS FLOW OF FOR FUEL ECONOMY. SAVING MONEY ON GAS IS NOT WORTH GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH DID NOT UNLOCK TO ALLOW FUEL TO FLOW. I HAVE ONLY GOT 28,643 MILES ON THIS FORD FOCUS AND I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A 3 MONTH SPAN, MY 2013 FORD FOCUS SE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES. THIS CREATED AN UNSAFE SITUATION WHERE I WAS STUCK WITH A DISABLED VEHICLE. 1ST FAILURE INSTANCE OCCURRED WHEN I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT 2ND FAILURE INSTANCE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65MPH) 3RD FAILURE INSTANCE OCCURRED WHILE JUST AFTER ENTERING A HIGHWAY AT APPROX 45MPH. *TR

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
PURCHASED THE 2013 FORD FOCUS ON 02/25/2013 WITH 5 MILES. ON 6/15/13, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER TSB 13-4-5 WAS RELEASED AND PRESENTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL SHIFTING AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE ISSUE. JANUARY 2014, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT I COMPLAINED ABOUT IN JUNE, AND THEY SAID WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCE WAS THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER AND FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HOW TO REPAIR IT. THAT WAS REPAIR #1. OVER THE NEXT EIGHT MONTHS, I HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES BUT WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE FOR MULTIPLE DAYS BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE DIAGNOSED FOR REPAIR. I WENT FOR A SECOND OPTION AND GOT THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ON 9/24/24. REPAIR #2. REPAIR #3 WAS MADE 11/4/14. REPAIR #4 WAS MADE ON 1/10/15 AND THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING. WHEN SPEAKING WITH FORD ABOUT THE SITUATION AT HAND AND THE ISSUES THAT I WAS HAVING, I WAS TOLD BY A SENIOR REGIONAL MANAGER THAT ONE RESOLUTION FORD COULD RECOMMEND IS TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TIMES WERE THE FOCUS HAS JUMPED, STALLED, CHATTERED AND LOUD GRINDING COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE SAME SENIOR REGIONAL MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF THEY WERE TO REPURCHASE THE FOCUS, THAT I WOULD END UP PAYING MONEY TO FORD FOR THE USAGE!! SHE ALSO SAID THAT I WILL NEVER QUALIFY FOR A LEMON DUE TO THE FIRST "REPAIR" THAT WAS MADE EXCEEDED WHAT FORD WOULD ALLOW ACCORDING TO THE STATE" FORD NEEDS TO OWN UP FOR THE ISSUES THEY HAVE CAUSED THE CONSUMER AND PRODUCING AN UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE. THE SUSPENSION ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS A POPPING IN THE FRONT END. DUE TO THE POPPING, THEY HAVE REPLACED TOP AND BOTTOM STRUT BEARINGS ON ONE SIDE THEN THE OTHER SIDE. THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AND AT THIS POINT THEY HAVE REPLACED BOTH STRUT TOWERS, INCLUDING NEW BUSHINGS/BEARINGS. *TR

FOR A NUMBER OF MONTHS THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, LAGS, AND ACTS INTERMITTENTLY LURCHING. VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN APPLYING GAS, ONE NEVER KNOWS IF THE VEHICLE WILL GO FORWARD SMOOTHLY, OR INSTEAD LURCH OR SHUDDER POTENTIALLY CAUSING TO BE REAR-ENDED BY SOMEONE OR HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE TO QUEUE. ALL ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. A PIECE OF JUNK! *TR

PULLING FROM RED LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION STALLING, SHUTTERING, GRINDING, ETC. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 2 WEEKS AND I AM BEYOND MAD THAT I TRADED A GREAT TRUCK FOR SOMETHING I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. *TR

THE 2013 FORD FOCUS HAS AN ONGOING SAFETY CONCERN REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AS THERE IS A PLETHORA OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS/SHUTTERS/JUMPS/VIBRATES ETC. WHEN SHIFTING, MOSTLY BETWEEN NEUTRAL AND GEARS 1 THROUGH 3. THIS IS MOST PREVALENT WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, OR ANY LOW SPEED/COASTING SITUATIONS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WHICH FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I COMMUTE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC EVERY DAY, AND I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CARD IS JUST GOING TO SUDDENLY JERK FORWARD, QUICKLY ACCELERATE, OR NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. THIS COULD EASILY LEAD TO CAUSING ACCIDENTS, OR NOT BEING ABLE TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, AS I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN I HAVE EVERY SINGLE DAY I DRIVE THE CAR - IT'S NOT A ONCE-IN-A-WHILE INCIDENT, IT'S ALL THE TIME. FORD SHOULD REALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE PEOPLE HAVE CATASTROPHIC FAILURES (IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY) FROM THIS TRANSMISSION FAILING, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, ACCIDENTS, AND POSSIBLE DEATH. *JS

EQUIPMENT, VISIBILITY/WIPER
POOR DURABILITY OF THE NEW OCCIPITAL WIPER BLADES ON MY 2013 FORD FOCUS. I LIVE IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. THE WINTER WEATHER AND THE CONSTANT FREEZING AND EVEN ZERO TEMPERATURES HAS CAUSED THE FAILURE OF THESE NEW FANGLED WIPERS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HUG THE WINDSHIELD AND REMOVE WATER BETTER. THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIPS THAT THEY ARE HELD ON WITH HAVE FAILED 2 TIMES NOW, THIS WINTER. I JUST HAD MY THIRD PAIR INSTALLED. I JUST BROKE DOWN AND WENT TO JIFFY LUBE WHO WHICH WILL REPLACE THEM FOR FREE WITHIN 3 MONTHS IF THEY FAIL. ONCE THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER BROKE OFF AND FLEW AWAY ON THE HIGHWAY FORCING US TO DRIVE FOR MILES WITH NONE. THE SECOND TIME IT JUST BROKE OFF DOWN IN THE CRACK BETWEEN THE WIPER AND THE HOOD. THEY ARE MOUNTED POORLY AND THE PLASTIC DOES NOT WITHSTAND THE STRESSES OF WINTER WEATHER OUTSIDE. I HAVE NO GARAGE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE. BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN APRIL OF 2013 AND BEFORE THE YEAR WAS UP IT WAS IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES (BEEN IN THERE 2 MORE TIMES SINCE THEN) FOR TRANSMISSION GRINDING, SHAKING, STUTTERING, BOGGING DOWN AND STALLING. FORD TRIES TO SAY THIS IS "NORMAL" FOR THIS DUAL SYSTEM TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NOT ANYTHING "NORMAL" ABOUT ALMOST GETTING RUN OVER ON A DAILY BASIS BECAUSE THE LOWER GEAR SHIFTING IS FAULTY. I GUESS FORD IS WAITING ON SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE RECALLING THIS PIECE OF JUNK. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A BRAND NEW CAR THIS WAY AND DEAL WITH THE CONSTANT FRUSTRATION AND EMBARRASSMENT THIS CAR IS CASING ME, NOT TO MENTION THE MONEY FORD GETS EVERY MONTH FROM ME. I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM PAYING THEM TO DRIVE THIS LEMON. THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO THIS BAD PERFORMING CAR AND RECALL IT NOW. *TR

2013 FORD FOCUS WAS GOING 35 MPH, SAW A LATE 1990'S FORD RANGER STOP SHORT IN FRONT OF A FIRE STATION AND TRIED TO BRAKE. COULDN'T STOP IN TIME AND REAR ENDED THE FORD RANGER. THE DRIVER OF THE FOCUS GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND TO SPEAK TO THE OTHER DRIVER AND THE ENGINE OF THE FOCUS CAUGHT FIRE ABOUT 30 SECONDS LATER. FIREMEN WERE ACROSS THE STREET AND CAME OVER TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. WITH ALL OF THIS, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED FORD TO ALERT THEM OF THIS ISSUE. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER AND WITHIN 1 BUSINESS DAY I WAS CONTACTED BY CUSTOMER CARE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST AND WERE VAGUE ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WERE AND HOW LONG THE PROCESS WOULD TAKE. WHEN I TRIED TO INQUIRE FURTHER, THEY SAID THEY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT MY INTENTIONS WERE. I MENTIONED WERE ARE NOT TRYING TO SHAKEDOWN AND SUE FORD, WE SIMPLY WANT ANSWERS.THE INSURANCE COMPANY, STATE FARM, TOTALED THE FOCUS AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH ME TO GIVE FORD THE VEHICLE, BUT FORD IS NOT COOPERATING. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE SINCE THE ORIGINAL FOLLOW-UP AND WE HAVE QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED IN ORDER FOR STATE FARM TO GIVE FORD POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE. FORD HAS STOPPED COOPERATED AND THEY HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS AND FORD IS DRAGGING THIS PROCESS OUT AS LONG AS THEY CAN. *TR

I OWN A 2013 FORD FOCUS.WHEN STOPPED, THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. WHEN ACCELERATING, VEHICLE SHUTTERS VIOLENTLY WHILE SHIFTING. I HAD THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AT THE FORD DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM ON 2/7/13. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE SAME PROBLEM THEN RETURNED ABOUT 7 MONTHS LATER, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE FORD DEALER FOR YET ANOTHER REPAIR ON 9/6/13. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE BCM. THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED 4 MONTHS LATER. THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD MOTOR CO. WITH A TRANSMISSION WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 7 YEARS AS OPPOSED TO THE ORIGINAL 5 YEAR WARRANTY.I CALLED THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE FORD DEALER TO INFORM THEM THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THE SERVICE PERSON SAID THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAD NO REPAIR OPTIONS AT THIS TIME AND NOT TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR. AT THIS POINT THE PROBLEM WITH CLUTCH SHUDDER IS CONSTANT, AND ROLLS BACK ALMOST ALL THE TIME. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND MANY FORD FOCUS OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUES. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. IT IS BECOMING EVIDENT THAT FORD MOTOR CO. IS NOT DOING ENOUGH OR ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. ANY HELP YOUR ADMINISTRATION CAN GIVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

MY 2013 FOCUS STARTED EXPERIENCING A LOUD POP, CAUSING ME TO JUMP AND SWERVE, THRU THE SPEAKERS AND THE RADIO WOULD STOP WORKING. IT WOULD HAPPEN ONCE IN A WHILE. I COULD RESET THE RADIO BY RESTARTING THE CAR. IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. IT PROGRESSED TO INCLUDE A VERY LOUD CRACKLING/POPPING NOISE. NOW (2/09/15) I HAD TO PULL THE FUSE (#79) IN ORDER TO STOP THE NOISE, EVEN WHEN THE RADIO AND CAR WERE OFF. I'M WITHOUT A RADIO NOW AND LOOKING A LARGE BILL. ALL OF THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE 3/36. STARTED AT 46K MILES OR SO. SEEMS LIKE OTHERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

SEAT BELTS
THE SEATBELT LATCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE MALFUNCTIONED AFTER MONTHS OF WORKING PERFECTLY. INITIALLY, IT LATCHED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. LATER IT WOULD NOT RELEASE WHEN THE RELEASE BUTTON WAS PRESSED. FINALLY, IT STOPPED LATCHING COMPLETELY. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO RESTRAIN MYSELF USING THE PASSENGER SIDE LATCH. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED BY MY LOCAL FORD DEALER. I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL ON THIS SAFETY FEATURE YET REVIEWING POSTS ONLINE, I CAN SEE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. THANK YOU. *TR

BEGINNING IN MARCH 2013, ONLY 4 MONTHS AFTER ITS PURCHASE, I NOTICED MY CAR HESITATED TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT IT INTO A FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD A BAD TANK OF GAS. THE ISSUE APPEARED TO HAVE GONE AWAY AFTER A WHILE, BUT RETURNED IN 2014. IN 2014, I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO FORD ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS FOR THE HESITATION, SHUTTER, AND ASSOCIATED NOISES. I FEEL AS IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE MY CAR IS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO THE PROPER GEAR WHEN I AM TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO A CROWDED HIGHWAY OR THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. FORD HAS RECALIBRATED THE COMPUTER FOR THE TRANSMISSION MULTIPLE TIMES, AND EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE RECEIPT SAYS THAT THE SHUTTER IS STILL PRESENT AFTER THEY FIX IT, IT IS OKAY BY FORD'S STANDARDS, SO THEY ALLOW ME TO LEAVE THE SHOP. THE SHUTTER APPEARS TO IMPROVE FOR THE MOST PART AFTER TAKING IT TO FORD, ONLY TO RETURN IN A MATTER OF TWO OR THREE WEEKS. THE RECALIBRATION SERVICE FORD IS OFFERING IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE LONG-TERM SAFETY FIX, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A TRUE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *JS

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR SHUTTERS AND HESITATES WHEN PULLING OFF, RPMS REV UP AND GAS MI IS NOT AS ADVERTISED. IT ALSO MAKES NOISES THAT I THOUGHT WERE THE DOOR LOCKS CLICKING WHEN CAR IS OFF, LATER TO BE TOLD ITS THE TRANSMISSION IS RE-SETTING? BESIDES THAT I HAVE HAD 3 FLAT TIRES ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE CAR, FROM RIVET LOOKING THINGS THAT I THINK ARE FALLING OUT OF THE WHEEL WELL (AT LEAST 1 DID!) THIS IS MY 1ST NEW CAR AND I'VE TAKEN CARE OF IT! IN FACT I GOT IT EARLY 2013, AND AS OF NOW IT ONLY HAS 15,600 MILES ON IT! THE LAST OIL CHANGE WAS DUE AT 16,000MILES AND I HAD THAT DONE @ NOVEMBER BECAUSE THAT DATE WAS RECOMMENDED. EVERYTIME I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TO FORD THEY BLOW ME OFF AND SAY THERE IS NO RECALL, WELL BS I WANT, AND DESERVE WHAT I PAID FOR, A NEW CAR, NOT A BIG HEADACHE! *TR
