2012 FORD FOCUS Power Train Problems

THE CAR RADIO GOES OFF THE WINDOWS DON'T GO DOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON THE CAR OUT OFF NO WHERE WHEN I MAINTAIN MY CAR EVERY 3 MONTHS AND AS NEEDED

THE POWER STEERING FOR A WHILE WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, BUT 1 MONTH AGO THAT STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SAFFORD FORD LINCOLN OF SALISBURY (1902 NORTH SALISBURY BLVD, SALISBURY, MD, (410) 548-4600) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE THREE TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WANT SHUT AND I SEE IT HAS A RECALL ON MY ENGINE ALSO. I WAS DRIVING AND MY DOOR JUST FLEW OPEN I TRIED SHUTTING IT SEVERAL TIMES IT WOULDN'T BUDGE. MY RADIO ALSO DON'T WORK ETHER I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S PART OF IT. *TR

MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT BEGAN TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE STUTTERS OR IDLES WHEN I ACCELERATE, WHICH HAS MADE GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE A NIGHTMARE. IF I ACCELERATE TO EVEN 35 MPH, I HAVE TO COMPLETELY REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, OTHERWISE MY RPMS WILL SHOOT TO OVER 4 (4,000 RPMS). IT CAUSES MY ENTIRE CAR TO FEEL LIKE IT'S SHAKING, AND IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE MY CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WHEN I'VE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND BEGIN TO DRIVE, MY ENGINE MAKES THE MOST TERRIBLE CHURNING/CLASHING/GRINDING NOISE POSSIBLE. LATELY IT HAS GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT MY RPMS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE BUT MY CAR'S SPEED WILL STAY THE SAME. ALL OF THESE SITUATIONS (TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS, NOISES, AND HIGH RPMS) WILL OCCUR NO MATTER WHAT, EVERY TIME I...

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FAILED AT LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. COULD NOT STEER CAR. ELECTRONIC CONTROL IS LOCATED BY EXHAUST MANIFOLD, WHICH HEAT CAUSED UNIT TO FAIL. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD HAS RECALLED THE STEERING UNIT ON OTHER MODEL, BUT NOT ON FOCUS. COST $2160 TO REPAIR. TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS AT LOW SPEEDS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HAD IT INTO FORD SEVERAL TIMES TO DIAGNOSE AND THEY STATE IT IS WITHIN PARAMETERS OF THIS DUAL CLUTCH TYPE TRANSMISSION. FORD HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR TRANSMISSION BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE MINE UNDER WARRANTY.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS WHEN TAKING OFF BUT ONCE INITIAL TAKE OFF IS COMPLETE THERE IS NO SHUDDER ANYMORE.

SOME TIME AGO I NOTICED MY CAR REVVING BUT NOT ACCELERATING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORD REPAIR CENTER AND THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS AN EVAP VALVE AND A FEW OTHER COMPONENTS WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED TOTALLING OVER $2000 IN OUT OF POCKET REPAIRS. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE EVAP VALVE GETS RECALLED, I HAD TO TAKE IT TO FORD AGAIN TO RE REPLACE THE PARTS THEY REPLACED EARLIER IN THE YEAR. NOW I'M DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN, AND CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM. I TAKE THE CAR IN FOR BREAKS, SHOCKS AND STRUTS. THE MECHANIC ASKS ME IF MY CAR FEELS SLUGGISH AND IF I AM HAVING A PROBLEM STARTING THE CAR, TO WHICH I RESPONDED YES AND HE PROCEEDS TO TELL ME I NEED TO REPLACE MY BATTERY SO I DO, THINKING THAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM WHY THE CAR IS STALLING. AGAIN, NOT THE...

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ALL PROPULSION, BOTH WHILE IN MOTION OR AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN BOTH DURING CITY COMMUTES AND DURING A TURN. THROUGHOUT THESE EPISODES, THE GEAR INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD GOES FROM HIGHLIGHTING THE CURRENT DRIVE ("D") GEAR, OR IN SOME CASES THE REVERSE ("R") GEAR OR PARKING MODE ("P"), TO NOTHING AT ALL. WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING, THE ENGINE WILL REV, BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. USER WON'T EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO PULL OVER SINCE IT WILL STOP DEAD. EPISODES ARE USUALLY BRIEF, AVERAGING A COUPLE MINUTES, HOWEVER WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A SUDDEN DECREASE OF SPEED. AS FOR WHAT SPECIFIC SYSTEM IS AT FAULT, I'M UNCERTAIN SPECIFICALLY, THOUGH BELIEVE EITHER THE POWER TRAIN OR MAIN COMPUTER (ESP. DEALING WITH GEAR SHIFTING) IS MALFUNCTIONING.

'TAKATA RECALL' MY AUNT BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, SOLD IT TO ME IN MARCH THE CAR SHUTTERS , VIBRATES AND LOSES POWER AFTER TAKING OFF FROM A COMPETE STOP, SHE'S HAD THE CAR SERVICED THE LAST 4 YEARS AND HAS TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY NEVER DOCUMENTED IT, THEY DRIVE THE CARS AFTER THEY FIX THEM, THEY CAN FILL WHAT IT DOES. CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THAT IT STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE FROM TAKE OFF. TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY SAID I MISSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BY 4 MONTHS, DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THEY MAKE THIS PROBLEM A RECALL!

MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD A TCM REPLACEMENT AS WELL AND STILL IS NOT WORKING IT IS ALSO HAD TWO CLUTCHES AND SEVERAL SOFTWARE UPDATES WITH NO SUCCESS. THE CAR HAS STARTED DISPLAYING NEW TRANSMISSION ISSUES RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE IN WHICH NOW THE VEHICLE WILL NO LONGER GO IN REVERSE AND JUST THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING AT 75 TO 80 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE SLAMMED IT SELF INTO SECOND GEAR VERY HARD AND THEN INTO NEUTRAL I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AT APPROXIMATELY 85 MPH IN WHICH I COULD HAVE DIED THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AFFORD TO NOT EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND OFFER A BUYBACK FOR THESE VEHICLES I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS OF MY TIME WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH ENGINE LOSS POWER TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT SLAMMING INTO KEY LOWER GEARS AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED COMPLETE...

AT 84,000 MILES, TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES STARTED TO SLIP ON ACCELERATION IN 1ST GEAR.

SHIFTING AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES: VEHICLE STARTED OUT WITH SHIFTING PROBLEMS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. TOOK TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION (AT THIS TIME THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 80K MILES). THEN TOOK TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE MY CAR WAS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHERE THE CAR'S COMPUTER WAS RESET, AND WAS TOLD THEN THAT IT WOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE SHIFTING ISSUES; THAT'S JUST HOW THE CAR WAS MADE. ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEMS STARTED AGAIN AND GOT WORSE. THE SHIFTING CONTINUED TO DYSFUNCTION, WHICH I "FIXED" BY PARKING AND RESTARTING MY CAR, THUS RESTARTING THE COMPUTER. IT WOULD USUALLY DRIVE OKAY AFTER THAT. I DROVE LIKE THIS FOR SOME TIME UNTIL I WAS HAVING ISSUES STARTING THE CAR AND ONCE I FINALLY GOT IT STARTED, IT WAS UNABLE TO GO IN REVERSE. I IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SAME PLACE WHERE MY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FOCUS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUMMERVILLE FORD (9700 DORCHESTER RD, SUMMERVILLE, SC 29485, (877) 477-1434) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE THE RPMS ON MY VEHICLE REVVED TO 5000, WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, AND QUICKLY SLOWED DOWN. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE WHILE TRAFFIC AROUND ME WAS GOING 75+ AND WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER ON THE LEFT SHOULDER WITH MY DOG IN THE VEHICLE AT 9:30PM ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. ONCE STOPPED, MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE AS I TRIED TO GO INTO REVERSE AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 25 MPH WHILE TRYING TO GO FORWARD. I WAS STRANDED ON THE INTERSTATE FOR 2 HOURS WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE MY 'WARRANTY EXPIRED DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE'. MY BOYFRIEND HAD TO LEAVE SCHOOL TO ALSO PULL OVER BEHIND ME ON THE INTERSTATE AND TAKE THE DOG FROM MY CAR TO HIS ON THE BUSIEST INTERSTATE IN THE STATE WE LIVE IN. MINE, MY DOG'S MY BOYFRIEND'S LIVES WERE ALL IN EXTREME...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V523000 (POWER TRAIN), THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE REPAIR WAS PERFORMED BY DELEHANTY FORD (1510 E PIERSON RD, FLUSHING, MI 48433, (810) 659-5687). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN.

I HAVE A CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM. THEY ARE REFUSING TO HELP ME. MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT ON MY CAR. THAT I'VE HAD FOR 1 YEAR. I'VE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT 4 TIMES. BUT THE ISSUE WASN'T FIXED. THIS CAR ISN'T SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. I WANT THIS FIXED.

THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPAIRED FOUR TIMES IN THE FIRST 80000 MILES, EACH TIME WITH THE GUARANTEE THAT FORD HAS FIXED THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CAR. THE CAR NOW HAS 94000 MILES ON IT. LAST DECEMBER, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THE CLUTCH WAS ONCE AGAIN CLOSE TO WHATEVER STANDARD THEY USED TO REPLACE THEM BUT WASN'T THERE YET. THEY SAID TO PUT 1000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THEN THEY COULD CHECK TO SEE IF IT MEETS THE STANDARD YET. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IT HAS GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE TO THE POINT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ON A HILL. WE HAVE RETURNED THE CAR NOW TO BE TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NOW GONE OUT OF WARRANTY ON TIME, THEY ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE, AND I OWE A CHARGE JUST FOR...

THE TRANSMISSION IS UNDER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HAVING TROUBLE WITH SINCE BUYING IN 2012, STILL WAITING ON OUTCOME OF THAT. TODAY. MARCH 27, 2019, "STEERING WHEEL ASSIST- SERVICE NEEDED". STEERING OUT WHEEL WILL NOT TURN. I WORK I NEED A CAR. I WILL BE CALLING FORD TODAY. MY FORD FOCUS SE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, OVER 140,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LEAVE HOME FOR WORK TODAY. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE TIME CHANGES I THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES BACK TO THE CORRECT TIME. ALSO IN THE PAST SOMETIMES IN WOULD NOT START. I WOULD WAIT A WHILE AND THEN IT WOULD START. IT HAS NOT DONE THAT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012. THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

WHEN MY CAR STARTS DRIVING, FROM 0 MPG TO 25 MPG MY CAR SHAKES. IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS SLIPPING, AND HAVING A ROUGH JERKING MOTION. I ALSO EXPERIENCED MY CAR ROLL BACKWARD WHEN I WAS TRANSITIONING FROM A RED LIGHT TO A GREEN LIGHT. I WOULD HAVE TO JUST HOPE MY CAR WOULD ACCELERATE IN TIME OR ELSE IT WOULD ROLL AND HIT THE CAR BEHIND .

OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS MY FORD FOCUS HAS COMPLETELY RAN LIKE [XXX] THE CAR BOGS OUT CUTS OFF DUE TO THE FUEL AND CLUSTER JAM AND IT'S CAUSED MY CLUTCH OR TRANSMISSION TO THROW CODES. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RPMS ZOOM UP AND LOSS OF TRANSMISSION WHILE AT HIGH SPEEDS. ALSO LUNGES INTO GEARS AND DOES NOT TAKE OFF WHEN ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED

FORD IS STATING THAT MY CAR'S ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY FOR THE CLUTCH ISSUE. I HAVE HAD THE TCM CHANGED THREE TIMES WITH THE SAME OR WORSE OUTCOME. MY CAR NOW NEEDS 3000 DOLLARS WORTH OF REPAIRS AND I CANNOT GET THEM DONE BECAUSE FORD IS NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THEY BOUGHT MY TIME AND MILEAGE BY SAYING THAT IT NEEDED A TCM WHEN IT REALLY NEEDED A REPAIR ON THE CLUTCH PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION. FORD REFUSES TO HELP ME WITH THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I HAVE 144KMILES ON MY FORD WITH THREE TCM CHANGES AND NOW IT WON'T DRIVE CORRECTLY AT ALL CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD.

2012 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO SAFETY HAZARD; TRANSMISSION SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR UNEXPECTEDLY. *AS *TR

CAR HAS 60000 MILES AND HAS EXACT SAME ISSUES AS EVERYONE ELSE IS POSTING. SHUTTERING, SLOW STARTS, LOSS OF POWER ON HIGHWAYS! HOW IS THIS NOT ON A RECALL LIST BY NOW OR DO WE WAIT FOR FATALITIES? THESE CARS ARE UNSAFE FOR THE ROADS! I JUST HAD CLUTCH REPLACED AND I AM EVEN SCARED TO GET THE DANG CAR BACK AND DRIVE IT. RIDICULOUS SOMETHING ISNT BEING DONE BY FORD. WONT BE BUYING THEM ANYMORE UNLESS WE GET SOME HELP.

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMITION OF MY 2012 FORD FOCUS WITH 100K MILES HAD HESITATION AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING DUE TO THE TRANSMITION FAIL (IT HAPPEN TOO OFTEN DRIVIND IN THE CITY), AFTER I PAID $ 2,200 TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED ( THEY CHANGED CLUTCHS AND COMPUTER MODULE). THE STEERING WHEELS STARTED TO FAIL, IT SUDDENLY GETS TOO HARD TO TURN, THEN IT GETS NORMAL AND THEN FAILS AGAIN. JUST WHEN I WAS TURNING ON A CORNER THE STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD TO TURN AND THE CAR WAS GOING OUT OF THE ROAD (STRAIGHT). LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TOO HARD TO CONTROL IT. FORD WANT TO CHARGE $2,400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM (RACK AND PINION REPLACEMENT) . I THINK THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS FOR THOSE DANGEROUS ISSUES. THANKS.

IN EARLY 2017 I STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. I WOULD TURN MY CAR ON SOME DAYS AND IT WOULD SAY POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND DRIVE. TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON (SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES) WOULD GET RID OF THE ERROR CODE AND I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT LIKE NORMAL. A MONTH AGO AT 129,000 MILES THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME IT IS OUT FOR GOOD. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I RESTART THE CAR, THE ERROR CODE WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE COST TO REPAIR IS OUTRAGEOUS FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH MUCH DUE TO THE HORRIBLE REVIEWS AND UNENDING PROBLEMS THAT EVERYONE IS EXPERIENCING. ON TOP OF THAT, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE CAR SHUDDERING CONSTANTLY WHEN I DRIVE IT. MY TRANSMISSION WENT...

I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2012 FORD FOCUS AND IT HAS THE CLUTCH PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS A WARRANTY FOR UNDER 100,000 MILES. BUT DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AFTER 90,000 MILES. SO NOW I HAVE TO PAY 1,500 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. FORD NEEDS TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY MADE

SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL, I HAVE THE AUTOMATIC. IT REVS AT REALLY HIGH RPMS LIKE IT NEEDS TO SHIFT BUT DOESN'T. PROBABLY HAVE MORE ISSUES THE LONGER I KEEP IT, I BELIEVE THE HUFFINES DEALERSHIP, THE COMPANY THAT FINANCED AND FORD KNEW THESE THINGS COULD AND DID HAPPEN TO THE CAR I WAS SOLD. SINGLE FATHER WITH A 4 YEAR OLD SON JUST TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS SAFE.

MY CAR HAS 75,000 MILES ON IT. I'M 6 MONTHS PREGNANT, DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, WHEN THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SLIP. DURING THE SLIP, A "TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. SERVICE NOW" LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CAR PROCEEDS TO LOCK UP AND STALL AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THREE DIFFERENT CARS ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY OWN BEFORE I COULD GET SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO A CAR LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD, AT 75,000 MILES?

WHEN I AM STARTING MY CAR I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS STEERING ASSIST MALFUNCTION SERVICE REQUIRED AND I CAN NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL.

AFTER MULTIPLE ISSUES \RECALLS WITH THE TRANSMISSION THE CAR STILL IS NOT RUNNING RIGHT. IT TAKES SOMETIME FOR THE VEHICLE TO START AND ONCE IT DOES IT SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION.
