NHTSA Complaint #10986011 — 2013 FORD FOCUS

AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2013, THE CAR WOULD STALL/JERK/GRIND WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, OR JUST ACCELERATING TO INCREASE SPEED. HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE CLUTCH REPAIRED AND EVEN AFTER THIS WAS PERFORMED, IT STILL JERKS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. IN JANUARY 2016, HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO REPROGRAM THE PCM/TCM AND PERFORM CLUTCH WHICH WAS THE 15B22 SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. AFTER 36,000 MILES THE HORN STOPPED WORKING. AFTER 65,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, WAS TOLD IT HAD A CODE P0456 WHICH IS A SMALL EVAP LEAK PRESENT. SINCE IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY, I HAVE TO PAY $119 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S30 WHICH STATES IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT MY SIDE DOOR LATCH MAY BREAK, WHICH MAY MAKE THE DOOR DIFFICULT TO LATCH. ALL THIS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND ALMOST 4 YEARS OLD.
