VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE WERE DRIVING HOME AND HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD USING CRUISE CONTROL FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 1/2 HOURS WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF COMPLETELY GOING FROM 70 MPH TO NO POWER OR ELECTRICAL. WE WERE FAST LANE ON I-75 NORTH AND THE CAR WAS WITHOUT ANY POWER OR HAZARD LIGHTS. WE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY IT STARTED AFTER 5 MINUTES. LUCKILY A CAR STOPPED AND HAD THEIR HAZARD LIGHTS ON. SINCE THEN OUR CAR FUEL HAS DECREASED TO 12 MPG IN THE CITY AND 22 ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF CAR BOGS DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO MASH HARD ON THE GAS TO GET IT TO MOVE. THE IDLE IS ROUGH AND YOU CAN FEEL IT RUNNING ROUGH. WE HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FIVE TIMES AND SINCE CAR DOES NOT CODE THEY WILL NOT WORK ON IT PER FORD'S POLICY. THUS, WE HAVE THAT FORD HAS ADVERTISED WILL GET 28 IN THE CITY AND 40 ON THE HIGHWAY WHICH WE DID GET THE FIRST MONTH BEFORE IT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY. SINCE THEN WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE USING CRUISE ON A TRIP. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEATS
THE FOCUS WAS STOPPED AT THE SCENE OF ANOTHER ACCIDENT WHEN IT WAS REAR ENDED AT HIGHWAY SPEED (55 MPH APPROXIMATELY) BY A DRIVER WHO DID NOT SEE IT STOPPED. THE CAR WAS PUSHED INTO THE REAR END OF THE CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF IT. THE REAR HATCH OF THE CAR WAS PUSHED IN PAST THE REAR AXLE AND THE FRONT END SUSTAINED HEAVY DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS YET NONE OF THE AIR BAGS, FRONT OR SIDE DEPLOYED. I SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE WHEN I WAS THROWN BACKWARDS AFTER HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. UPDATED 11/24/2014 *JS

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE'S POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION GRINDS WHEN SHIFTING AT LOWER SPEEDS. TRANSMISSION ALSO SURGES +/- 200 TO 300 RPMS DURING PERFECTLY STEADY ACCELERATOR POSITION. VEHICLE HAS ATTEMPTED TO STALL NUMEROUS TIMES IN BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE. VEHICLE ALSO EXHIBITS UNPREDICTABLE POWER RESPONSE (IE VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN ACCELERATOR APPLIED OR WAY TOO MUCH POWER WHEN ACCELERATOR HARDLY PRESSED), RESULTING IN NUMEROUS INCIDENTS OF NEAR COLLISION. VEHICLE ALSO SHUDDERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TURNED AWAY AND TOLD ALL CHARACTERISTICS WERE "NORMAL". VEHICLE IS ,IN MY OPINION, VERY UNSAFE AND WILL NOT BE DRIVEN OTHER THAN OUT OF NECESSITY UNTIL IT IS EITHER RECALLED, FIXED, OR BOUGHT BACK. *JS

ENGINE, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WILL STALL UPON PRESSING THE CLUTCH IN WHILE IN GEAR OR NEUTRAL REGARDLESS OF SPEED AT RANDOM INTERVALS. I'LL NOTICE THAT COMING TO A STOP WITH THE CLUTCH IN THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME FINDING AN IDLE THEN ULTIMATELY DIES. THIS MOSTLY HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR AWHILE AND THE AC IS ON HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE AC OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES INCLUDING WHILE DOWN SHIFTING INTO A LOWER GEAR WHILE TURNING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THIS DESPITE SHOWING VIDEO PROOF OF THE ISSUE. THIS IS AN OVERALL SAFETY CONCERN WHEN THE CAR COULD SHUT OFF AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT WHILE DRIVING. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE EVER SINCE ABOUT 8 MONTHS POST PURCHASE AND TO DATE HAS A VERY UNCONTROLLABLE, JERKY TRANSMISSION, OFTEN TIMES LUNGING FORWARD AND EVEN VIBRATING DURING ACCELERATION. IT ROLLS BACK ON HILLS AS WELL. IT SHIFTS UNPREDICTABLY A LOT OF THE TIME AND SOMETIMES GEARS WILL SLIP AND THEN CATCH VERY ABRUPTLY. HOW IT'S AVOIDED RECALL FOR THIS LONG IS BEYOND MY UNDERSTANDING... *TR

POWER TRAIN
WE PURCHASED A 2013 FORD FOCUS WITH THE DCT. BY 1200 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION WAS GRINDING AND STUTTERING TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING DURING ACCELERATION. FORD PERFORMED A REPAIR AFTER FINDING THE CLUTCHES BURNED UP AND BEARING FAILURE. THIS FIX LASTED FOR AWHILE BEFORE THE PROBLEM RETURNED. DURING THIS PERIOD WE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING FORD DEALERSHIPS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WITH MY BABY DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT, THE CAR WOULD SURGE, HESITATE, NEARLY STALL, AND OTHERWISE POSE DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATIONS. EVENTUALLY FORD PERFORMED A SECOND REPAIR FINDING CLUTCH FAILURE AGAIN AND THEN WHEN THAT REPAIR LASTED LESS THAN 500 MILES REPLACED THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. BUT NOW, EVEN WITH THE NEW TRANSMISSION, THE PROBLEMS HAVE RETURNED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE INSISTS THAT NEARLY STALLING AND OBNOXIOUS STUTTERING IS NORMAL AND POSSIBLY THE RESULT OF MULTIPLE DRIVERS CONFUSING THE COMPUTER. WERE NOW AT 14000 MILES AND PROBLEM REMAINS. *TR

WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME IT WOULD NOT SHIFT BUT RAISED A RED FLAG. AFTER TURNING OFF IGNITION AND TRYING AGAIN IT FINALLY ENGAGED, ALL OTHER SHIFTER SELECTIONS WERE FINE; N, D. SOON THEREAFTER I BEGAN NOTICING A STRANGE GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END ACCOMPANIED BY A SLIGHT VIBRATION UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR WHEN NEGOTIATING A CURVE AT SLOW SPEED. WE LEFT FOR TUCSON SOON THEREAFTER TOWING OUR FOCUS BEHIND OUR MOTORHOME. THE CAR CONTINUED WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED ABOVE SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL DEALER. THEY TEST DROVE AND SAID THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK. SOON AFTER.THIS WE DROVE FROM TUCSON TO ALBUQUERQUE AND THE CAR SHUDDERED AND HESITATED WHILE SHIFTING SO BADLY I FELT IT WAS UNSAFE. RETURNED TO DEALER IN TUCSON TWO MORE TIMES WHERE THEY FINALLY "FIXED" IT. LASTED TWO DAYS NOW WORSE THAN EVER. I FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SEVERAL VEHICLES SINCE 1958 AND THIS IS MY WORSE DRIVING EXPERIENCE EVER. I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALER TODAY TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A SOLUTION. I KNOW I AM ONE OF MANY FORD OWNERS WITH THESE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO ISSUE A RECALL. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ FORD CONSIDERS GOOD FUEL MILEAGE MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAFETY. IF MY LOCAL DEALER CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM SO THAT I FEEL SAFE DRIVING OUR FOCUS I WILL BE GOING BACK TO TOYOTA OR SUBARU ASAP. ANOTHER "BIG THREE" FAILURE. I AM FROM MICHIGAN AND AM EMBARRASSED TO DRIVE THIS CAR ASSEMBLED IN MICHIGAN WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT IS TOTAL JUNK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AROUND AUGUST, BEGAN TAKING FOCUS TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE WE WENT FROM 85 MILES TO A CHARGE, TO 48 MILES. THEN, WE STARTED GETTING "STOP SAFELY" MESSAGES. THE FOCUS HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NOW 4 TIMES, FOR A TOTAL OF OVER 60 DAYS, OVER 80 HOURS OF LABOR. WE REPROGRAMMED PCM AND OTHER MODULES, HAVE CLEANED EVERY WIRE POSSIBLE, RECALL 13S09, LOOSE PIN FITS AT CONNECTORS C175B, AND C1822B, ONE TIME, WE PICKED IT UP AFTER 2 DAYS, DROVE IT DOWNTOWN (23 MILES) AND ON THE RETURN TRIP, IT DID IT AGAIN. I MANAGED TO HAVE IT HAPPEN TWICE IN 6 MILES. CAR JUST DIES. BEEN AT DEALERSHIP OVER A MONTH, AND NOW THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT, FORD WANTS ME TO TAKE IT BACK. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY. *TR

I AM LEASING THIS CAR AND GOT IT IN MARCH 2013. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES ALREADY AND THE DEALERS, 2 DIFFERENT ONES, KEEP TELLING ME IT IS JUST NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A LONG TIME AND EVEN DROVE A 5 SPEED, BUT NEVER HAVE I HAD THESE ISSUES. GRINDING, SHUDDERING, JERKING IN LOWER SPEEDS AND I SOMETIMES THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP, AS I WORK AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORTHLESS FOR ME TO TAKE IT IN. I AM NOT SURE IF I CAN FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT, BUT NOT SURE WHAT ELSE I CAN DO. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT HAS IT HESITATING AND LURCHING FORWARD IN THE SLOWER GEARS. IT IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE WHEN STARTING OUT AND I HAVE NEARLY HIT SEVERAL CARS, SEVERAL TIMES. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A NORMAL "FEATURE" OF THE MANUAL/AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE COMPUTER WOULD "LEARN" MY DRIVING HABITS AFTER A SHORT WHILE. IT NEVER HAS AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

I WAS GOING TO PICK UP MY WIFE FROM WORK AS USUAL. I AM A VERY SAFE DRIVER ESPECIALLY AROUND CORNERS. I WAS NOT DRIVING MORE THAT15 MPH WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED BY ITSELF. TO AVOID HITTING A PARKED CAR I HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. I WENT UP ON THE DRIVEWAY AREA. I HIT A CONCRETE WALL PORTION OR A DRIVEWAY. TOTALED THE ENTIRE FRONT RIGHT. AXLE IS BROKEN. AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED. SEVERAL MONTHS BACK THEY HAD TO PUT IN A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS JUST NOW 1 YEAR OLD. IT COULD NOT GO UP HILLS, PARK UP HILLS. TRANSMISSION WOULD TURN OFF. NOW IT ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN. MY WIFE TOLD ME FROM THE BEGINNING THIS CAR IS A LEMON. I LIKED IT SO DID NOT WANT TO BELIEVE IT! NOW I HAVE TO. I AM STILL STIFF ALL OVER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO FORD AUTO BODY AND MY DEALER. I HOPE THEY WILL BE HONEST ABOUT ALL THIS. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD BE MARKED BADLY BY MY INSURANCE OR HAVE MY PREMIUM GO UP WHEN THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. I HOPE FORD WILL AT LEAST HELP ME OUT WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT CAR FOR THIS LEMON THEY SOLD ME! NOW THEY WILL PUT THROUGH A CLAIM ON MY INSURANCE TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE DONE TO THE WALL. I HOPE MY INSURANCE PREMIUM WILL NOT GO UP. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS WHEN FORD HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAS MANY COMPLAINTS. THIS I WAS NOT EVEN AWARE OF! *TR

I PURCHASED A FORD FOCUS IN MAY 2013 BRAND NEW FROM A DEALERSHIP. FOR THE FIRST 6-8 MONTHS THE CAR DROVE FINE. STARTING IN JANUARY 2014 I NOTICED MY TRANSMISSION WAS GRINDING THROUGH OUT EACH GEAR WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE I DRIVE AN AUTOMATIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOUR TIMES FOR REPAIRS COVERED IN MY 36000 MILE WARRANTY AND THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THE CAR WILL VIBRATE AND SHUDDER AND JERK WHEN I'M ACCELERATING AS WELL AS THE PERSISTENT GRINDING. THE GRINDING SOUNDS AS IF SOMEONE PUT GRAVEL ROCKS IN MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SEARCHED IN ONLINE FORUMS AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AND THAT THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIPS HAVE ALSO BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR THEM PROPERLY. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS IF IT COULD GO OUT AT ANY SECOND. A FEW OTHERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ABLE TO LEMON LAW THEIR VEHICLE DO TO THESE PROBLEMS. IF IT CANT BE RESOLVED I WONT BE PURCHASING FROM FORD AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS AT 14,000 AND THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL OCCURRING. *JS

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH MY TRANSMISSION THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT MY '13 FORD FOCUS. I WOULD HEAR A SHUDDERING AND GEARS GRINDING WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE AND MY TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK IT OUT BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY WITHOUT EVEN TAKING A LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. I INFORMED THEM I WAS WORRIED ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH IT AND THEY SAID THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE AND IT WAS OF NO CONCERN. ON FRIDAY, APRIL 25TH, 2014, AFTER DRIVING 40 MINUTES TO WORK, I STARTED MY CAR UP AGAIN AND TURNED ONTO A MAIN CITY ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT THEN ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THERE, I NOTICED MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT HAD TURNED ON AND MY CAR WAS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME SHIFTING GEARS. THE RPMS SKYROCKETED AND THEN PLUMMETED. I WAS GOING ABOUT 20MPH-25MPH AND MY DASH IS READING 4RPMS. I THEN TURN ONTO ANOTHER MAIN ROAD WHERE MY CAR STARTED CHUGGING ALONG, IT FELT, WHILE REVVING MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER MY OWN VEHICLE. ABOUT A MILE OR TWO AWAY, I REACHED MY DESTINATION. I PARKED AND THEN STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN WHERE MY CAR THEN STOPPED AND I HAD TO DECLARE IT INOPERABLE. THE NEXT DAY, I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. COME TO FIND OUT, THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I COMPLAINED ABOUT TO THE DEALER WERE NOT NORMAL AND ANY DAY MY CAR WAS GOING TO QUIT ON ME. APRIL 25TH, 2014 HAPPENED TO BE THAT DAY. MY CAR IS JUST OUTSIDE OF THE LEMON LAW AS I PURCHASED IT LAST JANUARY. FORD IS HESITANT ON HELPING ME AND GETTING MY CAR BACK AND RUNNING. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AND NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, THEREFORE, I DID NOT PURSUE THE PROBLEM ANY FURTHER. *JS
