2012 FORD FOCUS Unknown Or Other Problems

FORD WILLINGLY KNEW AND STILL SOLD CARS WITH TRANSMISSION ISSUES

I FEW DAY AFTER GETTING THIS CAR I FELT A HESATATS GOING IN TO 2 GEAR SHORTLY LATER I TOOK IT HAD IT DIAGNOSED BUT THEY SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $70 UNLESS IT WAS A RECALL ON IT SO THEY DID THE SAID THE TCM WAS OUT AND IT HAS A RECALL ON IT BUT ALSO I NEED A CLUTCH AND THAT WAS $4000. SO THEY FIXED IT AND IT'S IT ALL GOOD NOW ABOUT 2 NO. LATER I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH A SUV IN FRONT OF ME I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT STARTED FELLOW WRITING IN THAT SHOP FOR YOU MADE ME HIT THE SUV IN FRONT.OF ME, IT STARTED DOING THE OTHER STUFF AGAIN I FELLED MY GAS UP AND TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULD START I SEAT THE A LIL THE TRIED IT AGAIN IF STARED...

TRANSMISSION ISSUE FOR 2012 FORD FOCUS IS CODE PO7A3 A RECALL ITEM? TRANSMISSION ISSUE MAKES IT UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP STATES NOT A RECALL ITEM. BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM THEM REGARDING ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND I JUST WANT TO VERIFY IT IS NOT A COVERED RECALL REPAIR AS IT WILL BE COSTLY.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2012 FORD FOCUS AND THEN IT STARTED TO NOT SHIFT WHEN I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD WITH THE SPEED LIMIT 50 MPH AND GOING UP HILL. WHEN THE CAR STOPPED SHIFTING I ONLY WENT 20 MPH OR LESS. THE CAR ONLY HAS 64,500 MILES AND THE MECHANIC SAYS IT'S A BAD CLUTCH AND COMPUTER. THERE'S NO REASON FOR A CAR WITH THAT MANY MILES TO BREAK DOWN LIKE THAT EVEN IF IT'S 9 YEARS OLD. THERE'S A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OF THE TRANSMISSION AND EVERYONE IS LETTING FORD GET AWAY WITH IT. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO THIS, DOESN'T FORD MAKE ENOUGH MONEY. THEY SHOULD'VE AT LEAST GAVE ME THE WARRANTY FOR IT.

HORN WAS ONLY WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, NOW IT DOESN'T WORK AT ALL.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE OCTOBER 14,2020 FROM DAY ONE EVERY TIME, I PUT GAS IN IT, IT STALLED TO CRANK AND YOU COULD SMELL A ROTTEN EGG SMELL. I WOULD HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT AND PRESS THE GAS NUMEROUS OF TIMES BEFORE THE CAR STARTED. MY DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR CAME FLYING OPEN THE SAME DAY AND WOULD NOT LATCH BACK TO CLOSE. HERE IT IS NOVEMBER 28, 2020 MY CAR STARTS SMOKING REALLY BAD AND NOW WON'T EVEN CRANK UP TO DRIVE. I PAID 4,056 CASH FOR A CAR I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING HARD AND JERKING THE CAR AFTER IT WAS REBUILT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE REBUILD WAS DONE THROUGH THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND NOW THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT. IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING LIKE THIS AND GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IT STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVE WAY AND IT STALLED. IT WOULD NOT START AND IT SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I FINALLY GOT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF WHEN I STOP THE CAR

#01. THE PANEL LIGHT ARE NOT WORKING IN MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK SE - THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT WORK EITHER WAY - STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. I NEED FURTHER ASSISTANCE IN TROUBLESHOOTING FOR THIS VEHICLE. TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE AND CHECK WHY THE LIGHTS ARE NOT COMING ON. #2 THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE IS VERY CORRODED. #3. I'MNOTABLE TO PROPERLYOPENCAR FRONT DOOR FROM OUTSIDE ONPASSENGERSIDE. I CAN OPEN THE DOOR BUT EXERTING A GREATER FORCE WHEN I PULL TO OPEN THIS DOOR THAN THE REST OF THE DOORS.*DT *TR

WHILE ROUNDING A TURN GOING UP HILL MY CAR STARTED SHIMMYING, AND STUDDERING. AT THAT POINT I AM LOSING POWER. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IT IS ALSO DOING IT. I AM AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY HORN DOESNT WORK NOR DOES RADIO. DOOR LOCKS. OPERATE BY THEM SELFS, LOCK UNLOCK WHEN DRIVING. THE RACK AND PINION POWER STEERING WENT OUT.THEN COME BACK ON. AND ANTI THEFT IS OUT. BEEN ON GOING FOR 3 YEARS NOW

TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL ON THE DOOR LATCHES AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD AND WHEN L CHECK THE VIN ON THE NHTSA IT STATES THAT RECALL INCOMPLETE. ALSO FORD HAD A RECALL MY FORD FOCUS IN MY 2012 YEAR ABOUT THE EVAP L HAVE HAD CODE P0456 IN RELATION TO P0456 EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM - SMALL LEAK DETECTED. FORD SUPPOSELY DID A RECALL ON THIS AND SUPPOSELY DID WORK ON MY VEHICLE BEFORE L OWNED IT, NOW IT HAS SAME ISSUE SO L BELIEVE IT WAS NEVER CHANGED OUT? I BELIEVE THAT RECALL WAS BACK IN 2016 OR 2017 OR 2018?

I AM NOT TECH SAAVY FOR THE IMAGE OR DOCUMENT UPLOAD THIS IS OKAYING CHECK AND OKAY BY AN INDIVIDUAL RECALL20V-331 COMPLETE

THE DOOR LATCH SUDDENLY STOPED WORKING, PRIOR INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT THE SPRING INSIDE WENT BUSTED SINCE THE CABLE WAS ATTACHED TO THE MECHANISM AND IT DIDN'T RESPOND AS IT WOULD NORMALLY DO. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY APARTMENT AFTER WORKING JUST FINE DURING THE TRIP FROM MY HOMETOWN.

FIRST OFF, WHEN ACCELERATING, EVEN AFTER THE TRANSMISSION RECALLS WERE "FIXED", WE STILL HAVE VERY BAD JERKING AND SHUDDERING WHEN ACCELERATING. SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. SECONDLY, THERE IS A CLANKING SOUND THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DRIVE OVER VERY SMALL BUMPS. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL HITTING METAL IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE TRUNK THAT COULD BE MAKING THAT NOISE, AND IS HEARD OUTSIDE OF THE CAR ALSO. PROBLEM CANNOT BE LOCATED BY MECHANICS OR MYSELF.

THE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE UNLOCKED POSITION AND WILL LEAVE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN WITH NO WAY OF CLOSING

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A STRANGE NOISE THEN IT BEGAN TO JERK NOW IT WON'T GO INTO REVERSE. TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT CAME IN I CAN'T DRIVE IT.

WHEN I GET IN MY CAR TO CRANK IT, THE KEY SWITCH SEEMS TO KILL THE BATTERY BUT WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN, THE BELL DINGS SO I KNOW THE BATTERY ISN'T DEAD. IF YOU WIGGLE THE KEY IN THE KEY SWITCH, IT SOMETIME WILL CRANK AND OTHERS IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING - LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IT WAS SAID THAT THE CATAYLIC CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

HAD REPLACED PART OF THE TRANSMISSION THE MODULE. BUT NOW MY CAR HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES AGAIN. *TR

WAS DRIVING UP MY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO BE PUSHED INTO MY DRIVEWAY. VERY SCARY. *TR

TAKI OFF FROM STOP LIGHT CAR IS STALLING, TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND WILL NOT START AGAIN

THE HORN WON'T WORK.

IT DIED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES RIGHT AFTER AND THE CAR IDLES STRANGE

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE. I TOOK IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IT THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME IT WAS TESTED AND THEIR WAS NO ISSUE, SO THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING NOW. MY VEHICLE COULD STALL AND NOT CRANK BACK AND FORD REFUSES TO FIX A FAULTY PART THEY HAD A RECALL ON?

AFTER RECEIVING THE RECALLS SERVICED BY MIKE WHITE FORD IN CDA IDAHO.MY VEHICLE IS NO.LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE.THE 2012 FORD FOCUS THAT WAS PERFECT NOW STALLS LACKS POWER .THE SAFETY FEATURES NO LONGER WORK.THE CAR NOW HAS STEERING ISSUES .SINCE THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE THE CAR HAS SAT IN THE DRIVEWAY .IT IS UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND YOU DEPRESS THE GAS PADDLE THE RPMS WILL RACE ALL THE WAY UP THEN PLUMMIT.WHILE DRIVING THERE IS NO POWER .WHEN DRIVING AN INCLINE OR HILL THE GAS PADDLE HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND STILL LOSES SPEED .THE CAR SHAKES AND THE STEERING IS ERRATIC. ONE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES IN WHICH THE STEREO MUTES UNLESS THE SEATBELTS ARE CLICKED IN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION NO LONGER WORKS THE FORD MOTOR CERTIFIED MECHANICS OR TECHNICIANS REFUSE TO HONOR THE....

VEHICLE MAKES EXTREMELY LOUD STATIC SOUNDS, CRACKING, POPPING. RADIO CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I ALMOST CRASHED FROM THE ERRATIC AND SUDDEN NOISE. RADIO DOES NOT WORK AS OF NOW, MILEAGE IS 80,000 APPROX. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

IVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE STEERING WHEEL SINCE I 1ST GOT THE CAR. IN THE BEGINNING IT WOULD LIKE A COUPLE MINUTES AND THEN BE FINE. I NOTICED IT WHEN IT WAS SUPER COLD OR EVEN JUST KIND OF COLD. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN THE WEATHER WAS FINE AND THE STEERING WAS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN. ID HAVE ISSUES IN THE MORNING BY THE TIME I LEFT THE PARKING LOT IT WAS FINE AND WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AFTER WORK THE SAME THING (WITH IN A FEW MINUTES WAS FINE). I'VE TAKEN MY CAR IN MANY TIMES BUT THEY COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT AN ISSUE. NOW ITS 2020 AND ITS BEEN "OUT" SINCE THURSDAY TODAY IS MONDAY AND I JUST HAD IT TOWED TO THE CAR DEALER SHIP. EVERY TIME THIS ISSUES OCCURRED MY CAR WAS IN PART I NEVER GOT A WARNING...

WHEN I MAKE A STOP AND TRY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, I FEEL VIBRATIONS, LOST OF POWER. I DID NOT KNOW THAT FORD RECALLED THE VEHICLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I JUST CALLED BUT FORD REFUSE TO FIX. THE AGENT TO WHOM I SPOKE, SAID THAT THE MILEAGE IS ABOVE 100 000 MILES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 173 000 MILES BUT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR LONG TIME.

WHEN FIRST ACCELERATING FROM 0 MPH, THE CAR WILL STRUGGLE TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. IT CONSTANTLY JUMPS AND JERKS BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE WHO IS NEWLY LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT IS SHIFTING THE CAR. AS AN AUTOMATIC, IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME THE COMPUTER HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED.

I LITTLE WHILE AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2012, IT BEGAN SHUTTERING UPON ACCELERATION. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY RAN THEIR COMPUTER TEST WHICH CONFIRMS THERE IS A SHUDDER. HOWEVER, "IT IS NOT OCCURRING FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY FIXING IT" ACCORDING TO THE FORD CORPORATE OFFICE, WHO I SPOKE WITH LAST YEAR SOME TIME. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE KNOWN IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FOCUS 2012. OR I WOULD ACCEPT FINANCIAL COMPENSATION TO BE PUT TOWARDS A SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE.

I WAS IN A LANE BEGINNING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WAS TO MY LEFT AND DID NOT SEE ME IN THEIR BLIND SPOT TRYING TO MERGE RIGHT TOO EARLY. THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE NOT ALLOWING ME TO BE ABLE TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS. IF MY HORN WORKED I COULD HAVE ALERTED THE DRIVER THAT A CAR WAS IN THEIR BLIND SPOT. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT I'D RATHER ONE NOT HAPPEN PERIOD. MY HORN HAS BEEN GOING IN AND OUT FOR QUITE A WHILE. I HAVE CHANGED THE FUSE A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES AND GOT THE PLUGS CHECKED. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. THIS CAR ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THIS HORN ISSUE. ALSO, I CAN NOT PASS VEHICLE INSPECTION DUE TO MY HORN NOT WORKING AND THE SECURITY SOUND NOT SOUNDING WHEN IT IS BEING LOCKED.

RADIO RANDOMLY SCREECHES AT A VERY HIGH FREQUENCY. SOUNDS LIKE A GUN SHOT AT FIRST THEN EAR PIERCING SCREECHING. EVEN DOES IT WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. SEEMS TO MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY DAY. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS NOISE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. WHEN YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF THE NOISE CONTINUES. EVEN CONTINUES AFTER REMOVING THE KEY AND LOCKING THE DOORS.

BREAKS FAILED. WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY ROAD THAT IS ALSO DEEMED A HIGHWAY AND WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. TRIED TO STOP GOING APPROX 15 MPH FELT A CLICK AND THEN NOTHING, BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ACT UP IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. IT'S STUTTERING AND THE JERKING MOVING FROM A STOP. MY BROTHER WHO IS A MECHANIC SAYS IT'S PROBABLY THE CLUTCH AGAIN. IS IT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. IT HAS 136500 MILES ON IT. I NEED THE CAR FOR BOTH MY JOBS. I'LL NOT PAYING $2000 FOR A NEW CLUTCH.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BOTH ON ROAD AND HIGHWAY STALING AND FRONT END MAKING NOISE.

THE RADIO ON THE STOCK FOCUS IS DANGEROUS. THE RANDOM STATIC AND LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE RADIO IS A SAFETY HAZARD IT CAN SOUND LIKE AN EXPLOSION. I GOT ANXIETY SO BAD I HAD TO REMOVE MY STOCK RADIO HARNESS FROM THE BACK OF THE RADIO.

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT ON A MAIN ROUTE IN A CITY AND THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR BUCKED THEN STALLED AGAIN, IT WAS RECALLED AND SAID IT WAS FIXED BUT AS FAR AS CAN TELL ITFS NOT

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE TRAVELING.

2012 FOCUS S A MAJORITY OF THE TIME FROM A STOP VEHICLE STARTS JERKING AND I DON'T OWN A STICK SHIFT. ALSO AS IT'S JERKING THE RPMS GO REALLY HIGH AS IF I NEED TO SHIFT IDK BUT ALSO EVERY TIME I PUT IT IN PARK IT ROLLS ABOUT QUARTER-INCPUT IT IN PARK IT ROLLS ABOUT A HALF AN INCH OR MORE THEN I HEAR A CLICK WELL IT'S MORE LIKE A TIN CAN SOUND I HATE IT I HOPE IT'S NOT MY TRANSMISSION

IT SEEMS AS THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPROGRAM THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WITH UPDATED SOFTWARE IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON S INSTEAD OF NORMAL DRIVE AND IT HAS PROBLEMS WHEN ACCELERATE AND SHIFT

CAR SHUTTERED MID TRAFFIC LIGHT SO I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT JERKED BACK INTO SPEED AND I WAS GOING UNDER A HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE AND STARTED JERKING AGAIN SO I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND REALIZED THAT I COULD NOT REVERSE EITHER.

MY CAR IS A FORD FOCUS 2012 I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE . I LOST SPEED WHILE I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY .MY CAR WAS FINE ALL WEEK I RAN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM NO LIGHT APPEAR AT THE DASHBOARD .WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELARATE IN THE HIGHWAY A MESSAGE APPEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME TRANSMISSION MALFUCTION.

I REPORTED ABOUT A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAIN/RECALL LIKE 2-3MOS FROM NOW BUT IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE IT'S LIKE NO REPLY OR ACTIONS COMING FROM YOU BECAUSE I JUST WANNA KNOW IF FOR SOME REASONS IT'S ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR FOR A RECALL OR SOMETHING IN YOUR SYSTEM OR I STILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT? I HAVE A CAR THAT I BELIEVE A LATCHKEY/LOCKED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS BROKE BECAUSE WHENEVER I'M DRIVING FROM 30-50 MPH IT'S KEEP ON OPENING THE DOOR AND ESP. WHEN TURNING THAT'S WHY I PUT SOME DUCT TAPE ON IT JUST TO PREVENT FROM OPENING BY ITSELF. I JUST HOPE YOU CAN DO IMMEDIATE ACTION FOR THIS KIND OF MATTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON!

SCRAPING NOISE COMING FROM ELECTRONIC STEERING COMPONENT. SIMILAR ISSUES DESCRIBED ON LINE. SEEMS LIKE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.

THREE WEEKS AFTER BUYING MY BRAND NEW 2012 FORD FOCUS, THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE ON THE HIGHWAY. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A FORD PROBLEM AND NOT THEIRS. THE FOLLOWING MONTH, I ALMOST DIED IN THE CAR. A REGIONAL MANAGER FROM FORD CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH ME, RESOLVED NOTHING. I FOLLOWED LEMON LAW PROTOCOL AND DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING THROUGH THE SERVICE DEPT. MORE THAN 12 VISITS. FOUR VISITS BEFORE THE NEAR FATAL CRASH AND THE REMAINDER AFTERWARDS. FORD RAN OUT THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON MY VEHICLE SO THEY DID NOT HAVE TO PAY ME. THE VEHICLE HAS A PROPENSITY OF TURNING OFF WHEN ACCELERATING TO 65 MPH. WHEN MAKING A TURN OR U-TURN THE CAR HESITATES. FORD ADMITTED TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND STILL WOULD NOT PUT ME IN MY ORIGINAL POSITION WHICH HAS LEFT ME WITH DISC DISPLACEMENTS BENEATH MY BRAIN STEM....

THE TRANSMISSION RACES AND STAY THERE THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ONLY LASTED A YEAR AND THREE MONTHS NOW FORD DOES'NT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THEY KNOWINGLY KNEW THERE TRANSMISSION WERE FAULTY. NOW THEY WANT ME TO COME OUT POCKET $611 TO PUT ANOTHER BAD TRANSMISSION IN.

WHILE DRIVING FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC, CAR ALERTED ME TO STOP SAFELY NOW, WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. TYPICALLY THIS OCCURS WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND IT WAS UNEXPECTED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALER WHILE WORKING WITH FORD DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS DRIVING AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON WATT AVE AND THE CAR WENT FROM 45MILES TO 0 IN SECONDS ON A GREEN LIGHT AND I GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME,WAS BARELY MOVING A LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR SAYING 'TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW'
