Consumer Description
MY 2014 FORD FOCUS ENGINE DIES WHEN IT RAINS. IT STARTED TO RUN ROUGH WHEN IT RAINED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED GOING 55 MPH WHEN IT WAS RAINING. HAD ENGINE WIRE REPLACED AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK OR SO WHILE IT WAS DRY. 1ST TIME IT RAINED IT DIED AGAIN GOING 50MPH. TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND HAD CYLINDER AND COMPUTER BOX REPLACED (CRAZY ONLY 4 YEARS OLD). RAN FINE AGAIN UNTIL IT RAINED AND IT DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. WHEN IT DIES YOU ARE PUT IN A VERY BAD SITUATION. SOMEONE COULD DEFINITELY DIE. I GIVE UP. IT IS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE PUT $800 INTO IT GETTING FIXED AND SO FAR NO LUCK. IF I KNEW IT COULD BE FIXED I WOULD TAKE IT IN. THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART WHEN IT GETS DRY OUT AGAIN. I TRY JUMPING IT AND FUSE 38 BLOWS EVERY TIME. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? IT IS A VERY SCARY PROBLEM AND I SEE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON THE WEB.
