NHTSA Complaint #11538763 — 2015 FORD FOCUS

ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH Campaign/NHTSA#18S32/18V735 (Issue Date 2018-10-22) OCCURRED AGAIN WITH 5 TEENAGERS IN THE CAR, SOUTHBOUND ON I-65 BETWEEN OHIO AND FLORIDA, CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP! THIS KNOWN PROBLEM/FORD RECALL SYSTEMS FAILURE REPEATED JUST 3 YEARS AFTER REMEDIATION/RECALL, STRANDING 5 TEENAGERS ON THE TENNESSEE-ALABAMA LINE FOR 2 DAYS AND THEN REQUIRING AN EXPENSIVE TOW TO FLORIDA (FOR VACATION) AND THEN AGAIN HOME (BECAUSE IT WAS NOT CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED AT THE FORD SERVICE CENTER IN FLORIDA)! THE FORD DEALERSHIPS/SERVICE CENTERS IN Panama City, FL STATED THERE WAS A COMPUTER PROBLEM WHICH COULDN'T BE FIXED THERE FOR OVER TWO WEEKS, SO THE CAR WAS TOWED TO OHIO. HERE, THE FORD SERVICE CENTER IN WCH, OHIO ([XXX}) DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS REQUIRING REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR FOR: " FUEL PUMP, O-RING, NEW FUEL TANK AND VAPOR TUBE/PURGE VALVE ON ENGINE FOR 'STUCK OPEN VALVES' 'NOT PULLING FUEL' AND COLLAPSE OF THE FUEL TANK ITSELF.' $1248.47 P/L + TAXES + TOWING X2 + $150 DIAGNOSTIC EVAL. THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME SCENARIO AS THE OCTOBER 2018 FUEL TANK DEFORMATION RECALL Campaign/NHTSA#18S32/18V735. THIS CAR HAD THE REQUIRED RECALL PERFORMED IN MARCH 2020 AT LEBANON FORD ([XXX]) IN LEBANON, OHIO, BUT JUST 3 YEARS LATER, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FAILED AGAIN, PUTTING 5 TEENAGERS AT GRAVE RISK (WHILE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS OF 65-70MPH)--TWO OF WHOM WERE MY DAUGHTERS! I WOULD LIKE THIS SYSTEM RE-EVALUATED AND A NEW RECALL/REMEDIATION ISSUED IMMEDIATELY TO PROTECT PASSENGERS/FORD DRIVERS/OTHERS ON THE ROAD WITH THIS PROBLEMATIC CAR MODEL/YEAR! “INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”
