NHTSA Complaint #11506941 — 2013 FORD FOCUS

Transmission Control Module (TCM) The transmission Is a known problem to Ford. Auto shops won’t even look at the vehicle because it’s an unfixable problem. Ford dealers have no answer other then replace TCM and maybe you’ll get some more miles out of the car, but of course the part is backordered, over 77,000 cars waiting, and no idea when part will be available. Car is totally unreliable. Shifts gears inconsistently, at times won’t go into Drive, often times vehicle won’t even start. All I can do with it now is to leave it sit parked and not use it. Extremely disappointing that Ford has known of this issue for years and not fixed it or put a buyback into place.
