NHTSA Complaint #11372341 — 2016 FORD FOCUS

MANUFACTURER RECALL #18S32 NHTSA RECALL #18V735 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I WAS PROBABLY ABOUT A MILE AND HALF AWAY FROM MY WORK. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND PREPARE TO STOP. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE DISPLAY SHOWS "NOT IN DRIVE" WHEN IT OBVIOUSLY WAS OR I WOULDN'T BE MOVING... NEXT THING, LIGHTS/ELECTRONICS WERE FLICKERING AND CAR JUST TURNED OFF IN DRIVE. WHAT WAS REALLY SCARY AND ALMOST COSTED ME MY LIFE WAS MY HAZARDS WERE NOT DISPLAYING TO SURROUNDING DRIVERS THERE WERE A FEW TIMES WHEN I GOT YELLED OR HONKED AT BUT 1 OR 2 TIMES I ALMOST GOT RAN OVER.... AFTER MY FRIEND CAME TO HELP ME PUSH IT OUT OF ROAD, HE GOT IT IN PARK, RESTARTED AND GOT CAR STARTING AGAIN.... WE TOOK THE CAR TO OUR FAMILY MECHANIC AND HE TOOK A LOOK AT IT. HE WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME A LOT FOR THE PART NEEDED TO GET FIXED. WHICH BROUGHT ME TO GO SEE IF I CAN FIND A PART FOR CHEAPER OR A MECHANIC FOR CHEAPER. THAT'S WHEN I DISCOVERED ABOUT THIS VIN AND CAR RECALL.
