2012 FORD FOCUS Seats Problems

[XXX] IS MY NAME. THIS ABOUT MY 2012 FORD FOCUS WHICH I BOUGHT IN 2014 WITH 27000 MILES. IN JULY 2020 IT HAS ABOUT 65000 MILES. IT HAS BEEN USED FOR LOCAL DRIVING, NOT FOR COMMUTING. AFTER I DROVE IT SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF MILES I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE ROOF ABOVE THE DRIVER'S SHOULDER AND HEAD AS WELL AS OVER THE DRIVER'S FRONT SIDE WINDOW. THE LEAK WOULD OCCUR ONLY AFTER HEAVY SUSTAINED RAIN DOWN POURS. I THOUGHT THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SOMEHOW OWNED BUT I COULD NO SEE ANY OPENING AT ANY TIME. AFTER SEVERAL LEAKS OCCURRED DURING HEAVY RAINS I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THEY GAVE ME AN APPOINTMENT ON A MONDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH WHEN THE WATER MAN COMES! I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM AND ASKED WHAT I SHOULD DO. THE SERVICE BOSS TOLD ME TO PARK IT...

PURCHASED THE CAR USED IN 2014 WITH APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES FROM SCHULTZ FORD ROUTE 304, BARDONIA, NY FOR ABOUT $18,000. IN 2017 IT WAS NOTICED THAT DURING RAINING WATER WAS ENTERING THE CAR INTERIOR ABOVE THE LEFT WINDOW ONTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND ONTO THE FRONT LEFT FLOOR MAT WHERE IT WOULD POOL. SUBSEQUENTLY THE INTERIOR WETNESS WAS HEAVIER AS THE RAIN WAS HEAVIER WHETHER CAR IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. THE WATER NEEDED TO BE SOAKED UP WITH TOWELS AND SPONGES AS NECESSARY. THEN AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH SCHULTZ DEALERSHIP AND REPAIR TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE APPOINTMENT WAS MADE WITH 'THE WATER MAN' ON A MONDAY THAT HE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE AT SCHULTZ'S FORD DEALERSHIP (ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH). THE LEAK WAS FIXED BY THE WATER MAN FOR $265 WHO USED TOOLS TO RE-EMERGING OUT MOSTLY TREE AND PLANT DEBRIS THAT FELL ON THE CAR...

ON 10/23/2015 AT 51,289 MILES, I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE THE CAR INTERMITTERLY WOULD NOT START & WHEN TAKING OFF FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, IT WAS JERKY. I WOULD HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS. I ALSO EXPERIENCED A RUBBING & SCRAPING SOUND THAT I FOUND OUT IS WHAT THEY SAID WAS THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDERING. THE CLUTCH & TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WERE REPLACED UNDER THE FORD TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS TSB15-0120 & TSB-15-0121. ON 10/12/2016 AT 71,906 MILES, I TOOK THE CAR BACK INTO THE SAME LOCAL FORD DEALER FOR SHUDDERING AGAIN. THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH AGAIN & REPROGRAMMED THE PCM/TCM & PREFORMED AN ADAPTIVE LEARN PROCEDURE. I STILL EXPERIENCE A GRINDING SOUND MAINLY WHILE TURNING, BUT HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT IT IS NORMAL & NOT AN ISSUE. MY MOST RECENT ISSUE IS MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON STATIONARY (NO FLASHING). I CURRENTLY HAVE LESS THAN 80,000...

AS I WAS GOING AROUND A CORNER TO ENTER THE FREEWAY SOMETHING BROKE IN THE SEAT BACK AND THERE ISN'T MUCH SUPPORT ANY LONGER.

WHY ISN'T THERE A MANUAL RELEASE ON A POWER SEAT? THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN MY 2012 FOCUS SEL CONTINUALLY BLEW FUSE AFTER FUSE. THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN THE POWER SEAT BLOWS A FUSE CAUSING THE DRIVER'S SEAT TO AUTOMATICALLY MOVE FORWARD TO THE MOST FORWARD POSITION PUTTING THE DRIVER ON TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL. IF THE AIR BAG HAD BEEN INFLATED I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHY AREN'T THE MANUFACTURERS REQUIRED TO HAVE A MANUAL RELEASE ON A POWER SEAT?

REPAIR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT WILL NOT ADJUST FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. REPLACED TRACK ASSEMBLY. FOR ABNORMAL ACCESS TO TRACK AIR DUCT CAME LOOSE AND LOCKED UP AND BROKE TRACK ASSEMBLY. SECOND ISSUE STARTED AT LOWER MILEAGE BUT CONTINUED DRIVING AND GOT WORSE AND AT 35500 MILES TOOK FOCUS TO DEALERSHIP WITH TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING JERKING AND MAKING NOISES. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER. BEFORE REPROGRAMMING I WAS GETTING 34.2 MILES TO THE GALLON AFTERWARDS GETTING WORSE NOISES JERKS AND MILEAGE DOWN TO 28.6. TOLD ME THEN AT THE TIME OF REPROGRAMMING THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE CLUTCH TO BE REPLACED BUT IT WOULD TAKE TWO MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS AND IT WAS OK TO DRIVE TILL THEN. I DRIVE 64 MINIMUM HIGHWAY MILES EVERY WORK WEEK. SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY AND BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR. THIS WAS DECEMBER 2013, REPROGRAMMING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE OFF. A FIRE SPONTANEOUSLY BEGAN IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS IN SERVICE FOR 14 MONTHS, BOUGHT NEW AND UNDER A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT. NO PREVIOUS ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN LAYING ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT HEAD REST, IT WOULD FALL IN BETWEEN THE SEAT AND THE HEAD REST HOLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAD REST WAS DESIGNED THAT IT COULD NOT GO ALL THE WAY DOWN AND CONNECT WITH THE TOP OF THE SEAT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 513.
