2013 FORD FOCUS Electrical System Problems

I BOUGHT A 2013 FOCUS ST IN FEBRUARY 2020. IT WAS HAVING STALLING ISSUES REPORTEDLY DUE TO A WIRE HARNESS TSB/RECALL CAR WAS TAKEN IN TO HAVE RECALL REPAIR DONE. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO CORWIN FORD IN NAMPA IDAHO AFTER TWO WEEKS OF THEM HAVING THE CAR THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS FINE. I TEST DROVE IT AND IT DROVE BETTER THAN BEFORE THEY STATED THEY DID NOTHING SO I LEFT. THE SECOND I TURN OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP IT STALLS SO I TOOK IT BACK AND LET THEM KNOW ITS STILL STALLING A TECH CAME AND LOOKED AND VERIFIED SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I FINALLY RESEARCHED AND CAME ACROSS THAT TSB SO I CALLED AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL ADVISING THEM TO CHECK THE HARNESS. WELL IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE SPLICES NOT BEING DONE CORRECTLY THE...

MY RADIO HAS VERY HIGH STATIC AND I CANNOT USE MY PHONE SYSTEM. MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING PROPERLY. MY CAR JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. WHEN I PULL OFF THE ENGINE STALLS. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN ON GOING EVERY SINCE I OWNED THE CAR. IT IS A COMPLETE LEMON.

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW STOPPED WORKING

2013 FOCUS HATCH WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 69K MILES, CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 100K. GREAT VEHICLE, VERY HAPPY WITH IT FOR THE MOST PART. HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES SINCE PURCHASE. FORD RECALL NUMBER 16C13 FOR THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE BODY CONTROL MODULE TO REQUIRE 2 PRESSES OF THE TRUNK RELEASE TO OPEN THE HATCH ON MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLES HAS BEEN REPORTED AS COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE IN JANUARY OF 2017. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE STILL ONLY REQUIRES ONE PRESS OF THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE HATCH. SOMETHING THAT I HAVE DONE INADVERTENTLY SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN ON THE FOG LAMPS. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THAT REPORTEDLY COMPLETED THE RECALL (SIOUX FALLS FORD LINCOLN, SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA), AND FORD. BOTH OF WHOM TOLD ME THE RECALL HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT WITHOUT BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN AND PAYING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

HELLO I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT REGARDING TWO THINGS. MY TRANSMISSION & MY RADIO. FIRST MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN TOOK TO A FORD DEALERSHIP LOCATE IN MICHIGAN TO HAVE AN DIAGNOSTIC RAN ON IT AND IT WAS NOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY CAR HAS TWO FIELD ACTIONS ON IT WHICH BOTH HAVE TO DO WITH THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION WHICH HAPPENS TO HESITATE TO TAKE OFF AND ALSO JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MY GRANDMOTHERS POSSESSION. NOW IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE TO THE POINT WHERE IT NOW DRAGS AND THERE IS SOME SLIPPING WHEN IT SHIFTS. THE SECOND COMPLAINT I HAVE IS THAT MY RADIO RECENTLY BEGAN TO START TO STATIC AND POP. AND NOW FOR TWO WEEKS MY RADIO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TURN ON, THE ONLY THING THAT DISPLAYS IS THE TIME CLOCK, DATE & TEMPERATURE. I HAVEN'T...

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, MY VEHICLE STOPPED COMPLETELY. THERE WAS NO POWER WHATSOEVER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST ON TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. I CALLED FOR VEHICLE ASSISTANCE. AFTER WAITING SEVERAL HOURS, THE DRIVER WAS NOT ABLE TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TOWED TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC. HE WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. ONE OF HIS MECHANICS SAID THAT FORD HAD A WARRANTY ON THE MAIN COMPUTER. SO I CONTACTED THE DEALER, PARKWAY FORD IN WINSTON SALEM, NC. FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO PARKWAY. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE MAIN COMPUTER HAD FAILED AND DRAINED MY BATTERY COMPLETELY. THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS NOT A COMFORTABLE OR SAFE SITUATION TO BE STRANDED ON THE SHOULDER OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY FOR SEVERAL HOURS ON A VERY HOT DAY.

BRAKES ARE ERRATIC, OFTEN FEELS AS IF CAR MAY NOT BRAKE IN TIME THEN SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION, SLIPS, JERKS, HESITATES, SUFFERS DELAYED ACCELERSTION, DELAYS IN DOWNSHIFTING. STALLED JUST AFTER TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION, ENGINE SIMPLY DID NOT SWITCH ON. ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT DRAINED BATTERY. INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE INDICATION / DISTANCE TO EMPTY, HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION.

I OWN A 2013 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK THAT HAS TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH ISSUES. IT'S BEEN RECALLED ONCE AND REPLACED. BUT STILL HAS THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN START TO PUTTING GAS ON THE PEDAL THE VAN STUFFERS AND SKIPS GEARS UNTIL IT REACHES 3RD GEAR. THIS IS MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE AND GAIN SPEED. IT ULTIMATELY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. BUT FORD WON'T REPLACE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER 2500$. IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THEY KNOW OF BUT WON'T REPLACE MORE THAN ONCE. I ALSO CAN'T TRADE IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT'S WORTH 93% LESS THAN VALUE. THE CAR HAS OTHER KNOWN RECALLS THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES COMING IN A VARIETY OF FORMS. AT TIMES I WILL BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, WITH MY PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, WHILE THE CAR SEEMS TO 'COAST' AND WITH NO EXPLANATION. OTHER TIMES I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE'S ALERT LIGHTS COME ON WITH A WARNING THE TRANSMISSION HAS OVERHEATED AND TO PULL OVER 'IMMEDIATELY.' THIS IS DIFFICULT TO DO WHEN ON A 55 MPH ZONE OR ON THE HIGHWAY; THE INABILITY TO ACCELERATE HAS LED TO MULTIPLE INCIDENCES PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR ATTEMPTING TO MERGE WHERE VEHICLES HAVE HAD TO SWERVE OR STOP BECAUSE I AM IN THEIR WAY. IN DAILY DRIVING, THERE IS A CONSTANT SHUDDER THAT MAKES ME BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WILL FAIL AT ANY MOMENT. THIS VEHICLE WAS THE DAILY DRIVER OF MY WIFE AND WE WERE FORCED TO LEASE ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE DID NOT FEEL SAFE. IT HAS BEEN IN...

MY TRANSMISSION IS GREAT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE JUDDER, SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR, DECELERATION WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE, AND THE RANDOM BUCKLING OF CAR IS GETTING TOO HORRIBLE TO IGNORE ANYMORE. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT I WAS WRONG. I AM READING WAY TOO MANY OF THE SAME STORIES WITH THE SAME CAR. THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS AND I AM STUCK WITH THIS CAR. WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, I FEEL AS IF I AM RIDING A BUCKING BRONCO (SHUDDERING). THE JOLTING AND SHUDDERING IS ENOUGH TO LOOSEN MY KIDNEYS. THIS HAS ALWAYS OCCURRED ON MY CAR. BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE. BUT ACCORDING TO FORD, THIS IS 'NORMAL' AND 'THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSE TO FEEL LIKE A MANUAL.' I HAVE DRIVEN MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS AND THEY DO NOT BEHAVE THIS WAY. THEY HAVE MADE IT SEEM LIKE...

WE HAD TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES REPLACED THROUGH RECALL. THIS DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING, CAR WILL START FLASHING TRANSMISSION ERROR, HILL ASSIST ERROR, BREAKING ERROR , ETC.. THEN THE CAR WILL STALL. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO DEALER 3 TIMES NOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON BUSY CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ON DASH DOESN'T RECOGNIZE CAR IS IN PARK OR ANY CHANGES IN GEAR. IT REFUSES TO START (OR EVEN CRANK).

PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT IS OUT (BRAKE LIGHT BULB FAULT WARNING LIGHT IS ON). AFTER SEVERAL BULB CHANGES, THE BRAKE LIGHT EITHER DOES NOT COME ON OR IT BURNS OUT VERY QUICKLY. AN ON-LINE SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I DO NOT KNOW WHEN THIS PROBLEM FIRST STARTED BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED IT AND ALERTED ME. THE PROBLEM IS PRESENT AS SOON AS THE KEY IS TURNED ON.

ONE DAY WHILE FILLING CAR UP.. I NOTICED A FEW DROPS OF GAS ON THE GROUND AFTERWARDS. TODAY I WANTED TO ADD $8 TO MY GAS TANK. THE MOMENT I STARTED PUMPING THE GAS STARTED COMING OUT. I TRIED A FEW TIMES TO CONTINUE BUT I KEPT COMING OUT.

SINCE IVE PURCHASED MY FORD FOCUS BACK IN 2013 I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO FORD DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IN RELATION TO THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ON MY 5TH ATTEMPT MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS AROUND THE END OF 2017 TO 2018. ON MAY 2ND 2019 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND AS SOON AS I TURNED ON THE CAR THE WINDSHEILD WIPERS STARTED TO GO OFF AND FOR SOME REASON I COULD NOT TURN THEM OFF. ONCE I ARRIVED ONTO MY WORK CAMPUS I TURNED THE CORNEE TO PARK MY CAR... WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR FLASHED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH STATING THE FOLLOWING, " TRANSMISSION FAILURE REPAIR NOW". I CALMLY PARKED THE CAR AND WITHIN SECONDS OF TURNING OFF THE CAR I SEE SMOKE AND THEN FLAMES FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY ENGINE HOOD. I QUICKLY EXITED THE CAR...

RADIO WILL CUT OUT AND THEN SOUND LIKE WIRES ARE SIZZLING AND WONT PLAY.THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.AND EVEN WHEN ITS TURNED OF THE SIZZLING SOUND IS STILL THERE.

MY STEREO HAS DECIDED TO TERRORIZE ME WITH LOUD POPPING, CRACKLING, AND WHITE NOISE. IN THE BEGINNING MY STEREO WOULD MAKE A LOUD POP AND THEN NOT EMIT ANY SOUND. THE DISPLAY WOULD WORK, AND I COULD CHANGE THE STATIONS, INPUTS, AND VOLUME, BUT NO NOISE WOULD COME OUT OF THE SPEAKERS. I WOULD SIMPLY TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WOULD BE RESOLVED. SINCE, THIS GREMLIN HAS TRANSFORMED INTO A CREATURE OFF A "PREDATOR" MOVIE. NOW WHEN I START MY CAR, THE MUSIC MAY PLAY FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND THEN THE LOUD POPPING TAKES OVER. WHETHER THE VOLUME IS ON "1" OR "10" THE NOISE IS JUST AS LOUD AND STARTLING. I WOULD SIMPLY TURN OFF THE POWER TO THE STEREO, BUT THIS DID NOT SEEM TO ALLEVIATE ANYTHING. ALTHOUGH NOT AS CONSISTENT, THE NOISE SEEMS TO INTERMITTENTLY COME EVEN IF THE CAR IS...

THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING BADLY BUT WARRANTY IS ONLY 100K MILES AND CAR HAS 105K SO FORD DEALER SAYS I HAVE TO PAY REPAIRS. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE. DASHBOARD DISPLAY IS DAMAGE AND SHOWS NO INFORMATION - MILLAGE - AND CAN NOT PASS EMISSION TESTING SINCE CAN NOT DETERMINE MILLAGE. DEALER WANT $800. VEHICLE JUST SHUT-OFF IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING - VERY SCARY - DISCONNECT AND CONNECT BATTERY AND WORKED BUT SCARY AND DANGEROUS. ALL THESE THREE ISSUES -TRANSMISSION, DISPLAY & SHUTTING OFF- SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE CAR CAN NOT BE USE.

LESS THAN 24 HRS AGO I STARTED FOCUS AND THE DASHBOARD THAT TELLS ME HOW MUCH FUEL, AND HOW FAST I'M GOING DIDN'T WORK PULLED OVER TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IS STILL NOT WORKING. WENT TO CHANGE FUSES AND THAT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. TALKED TO LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHO HAS SEEN THE ISSUE AND SAYS IT CONTROL MODULE AND THAT THE PIECE IS CONNECTED TO SECURITY SYSTEM AND THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAVE TO BE REBUILT. CALLED FORD HOME OFFICE 800 NUMBER AND WAS NO HELP.

FORD DEALER IN MELBOURNE, FLORIDA REFUSES TO PERFORM RECALL WORK. TOOK THE CAR IN--IT FAILED INSPECTION. THE MANAGER REFUSED TO ORDER PARTS OR WORK ON THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THE MECHANIC WAS ON VACATION. I WENT BACK AGAIN TO HAVE THE OTHER RECALL ITEMS WORKED ON, THE MANAGER SAID IT WAS STILL A "NO GO," AND I'D HAVE TO WAIT TWO MONTHS TO GET MY UNSAFE CAR LOOKED AT...

TRANSMISSION HAS NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY, BROUGHT INTO FORD TO HAVE RECALL OF PART OF TRANSMISSION REPAIRED. NEVER SHIFTED CORRECTLY INTO NEXT GEAR, SOMETIMES JERKED AND SPUTTERED AND MAKES GRINDING NOISE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE ENGINE WAS 4 CYLINDER. EARLY IN 2018, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. DASH LIGHTS OF DEFROST, DOOR LOCK NO LONGER WORKED. TRUNK STOPPED OPENING, RADIO STOPPED WORKING AND ALL THAT WAS HEARD WAS LOUD STATIC SPORADICALLY WITH OR WITHOUT RADIO BEING ON, AND DOME LIGHTS NO LONGER WORKED EITHER. BROUGHT INTO FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD CAR NEEDED NEW CLUTCH (DUE TO TRANSMISSION NEVER WORKING CORRECTLY) AND WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. WAS TOLD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES WERE DUE TO BATTERY, WHICH WAS REPLACED OUTSIDE OF DEALER WITH NO FIX TO PROBLEMS AT ALL. WAS TOLD NEED TO REPLACE RADIO WHICH WAS NO LONGER ANY GOOD, CAR LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD...

INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT, UNABLE TO TELL HOW FAST YOUR GOING OR IF LIGHTS ARE ON, OR BLINKERS. UNABLE TO DETERMINE MILEAGE OF VEHICLE

2013 FORD FOCUS SE. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PERFORM THE RECALL.--MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO MULTIPLE ITEMS, ACCORDING TO THE VIN REPORT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...

CAR IS DRIVEN IN MODERATE RAINING CONDITIONS IN VA. SUDDENLY WHILE MANEUVERING IN A WALMART PARKING LOT A FAULT 'ENGINE FAUL SERVICE CAR NOW' SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN. DIDN'T FEEL ANYTHING DIFFERENT AT FIRST AND CONTINUED DRIVING BACK HOME. ABOUT 2 MILES LATER IN THE MIDDLE OF ROUTE 28 THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND COMPLETELY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER IT ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. RESTARTED ENGINE BUT SAME ERROR SHOWED UP AND CAR ONLY MOVED A METER BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. HAD IT TOWED TO FORD CHANTILLY VA. DEALER CALLED A FEW DAYS LATER AND STATED IT'S A 800USD REPAIR ON A ELECTRICAL HARNESS ISSUE. IT IS THE SAME ELECTRICAL HARNESS RECALL THAT FORD RELEASED BUT ONLY FOR THE FORD FOCUS ST MODELS AND NOT SE. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS YEAR THAT I'VE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK...

WELL HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, BUT HERE IS THE LATEST. I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES AND THEN IT SPUTTED LIKE GOING TO DIE OUT, AND GET REALLY ROUGH DRIVING. I PARKED THE CAR GOT TO WORK, AND WHEN LEAVING IT WOULD NOT START. BATTERY IS NEW, SO NOT THAT. AFTER ABOUT 4 TRIES IT STARTED UP, THIS WAS WED. THEN FRIDAY, AND ON WAY HOME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AS WELL AS HAD ISSUE STARTING. I JUST RECEIVED THIS LETTER TODAY, HOW ODD AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND NOT MY IMAGINATION. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT I PICK UP FROM SCHOOL AND DAY CARE, AND WILL NOT SUBJECT THEM TO THIS UNSAFE CAR. ALSO,LAST WEEK THE GAS GAUGE JUST WENT TO 50 AND IT BINGED TO LET ME KNOW, I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION NEARBY, AND I ROLLED...

THE VEHICLE SOUND SYSTEM, RADIO, IS MAKING A LOUD POPPING NOISE, EVEN WHEN THE RADIO IS OFF AND THE RADIO IS NOT WORKING. MY MOTHER, OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS 79. THIS LOUD POPPING NOISE, IS STARTLING, WHICH CAUSES HER TO PANIC, WHICH IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY FACTOR. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY FORD MODELS INCLUDING HERS. THE FORD DEALER STATES IT IS $105 JUST FOR THEM TO TROUBLE SHOOT. I'VE READ ALSO ON THE INTERNET THAT DEALERS FIX ONE COMPONENT OF THE SOUND SYSTEM, WHICH WORKS FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THEN THE ISSUE RETURNS, ONLY TO REPLACE ANOTHER COMPONENT AND ON AND ON. MY 79 YEAR OLD MOTHER DOES NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY, AND WILL BE SUCKED DRY, IF THIS HAPPENS TO HER. SO OUR DELIMA IS TO NOT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF MONEY, AND TAKE THE CHANCE ON...

MY TRUCK POPS OPEN AFTER HAVE BEEN DRIVING SEVERAL MILES USUALLY 7 OR 8..WHILE I AM DRIVING...SOMETIMES IN TOWN, OTHER TIMES WHEN GOING 55 MPH..THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR PAST 6 MO, ALMOST EVERYTIME I DRIVE

CAR WAS NOT IDLING CORRECTLY WOULD HESITATE OR RUNNING EFFICIENTLY. FIST DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW PCM. AFTER $1300 AND A NEW PCM, 6 MONTHS GO BY, SAME PROBLEM CAME UP. 2ND DEALER DIAGNOSED A P2626 TO BE A CHAFFED WIRE IN A WIRE HARNESS. $700 REPAIR TO REPLACE TWO WIRES. THERE IS A SIMILAR RECALL FOR FORD FOCUS ST 14S17 THAT DEALS WITH A CHAFFED WIRE IN WIRE HARNESS.

WHILE IN MOTION, RADIO / NAVIGATION SYSTEM NOTIFIES OF ERROR IN "911 ASSIST" SYSTEM AT WHICH POINT ALL AUDIO QUEUES FROM SYSTEM GO IN ACTIVE, INCLUDING NAVIGATION PROMPTS, RADIO, PHONE (IF CONNECTED) ETC... THIS RANDOMLY MAY OCCUR AND TYPICALLY WILL NOT RESOLVE ITSELF TILL AFTER A SHUT DOWN PERIOD OF A NUMBER OD HOURS.

THE RADIO/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM OF CAR HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. APPROX. 4 MONTHS AGO, RADIO/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. PRIOR TO THE SHUTDOWN, A VERY LOUD CRACKING NOISE WOULD WAS HEARD THROUGH SPEAKERS. ONLY AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON WOULD THE SERVICE RETURN. THE STOPPAGE WOULD OCCUR DAILY WHILE DRIVING, APPROX. 2-3 TIMES A DAY. I CHANGED THE BATTERY 4 WEEKS AGO AND ONCE THAT HAPPENED, THE FREQUENCY OF STOPPAGES INCREASED AND THE NOISE THROUGH THE SPEAKERS BECAME LOUDER. TWO WEEKS AGO, AFTER A VERY LOUD SCREECH, THE RADIO/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM CEASED FUNCTIONING. WHEN TURNING ON THE CAR IGNITION, THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM SCREEN WILL ONLY DISPLAY THE TIME AND DATE. NO USE OF RADIO, CD PLAYER, USB PORT AND BLUETOOTH.

WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO . THE RPMS WENT WAY HIGH AND I COULD NOT GO OVER 15 MILES PER HOUR IN MY CAR. ALSO MY AUTOMATIC CLUTCH WAS BAD AND MY STEREO ALSO HAS STOPPED WORKING.

INITIALLY, ONCE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND RADIO IS TURNED ON, CRACKLING SOUNDS ARE HEARD ACROSS ENTIRE DASH OF CAR. RADIO STOPS WORKING. SOME DAYS RADIO WORKS, OTHER DAYS LONG STRETCHES OF CRACKLING AND THEN RADIO STOPS. RECENTLY, RADIO DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WHEN BACK DOOR IS OPENED, SPEAKER IN REAR DRIVER DOOR CRACKLES AND SOUND IS HEARD ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR AND ACROSS DASH TO THE RADIO. RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. CANNOT BE TURNED OFF (APPEARS TO BE ON EVEN THOUGH NOT WORKING). EVENTS OCCURRED OVER 2 WEEK PERIOD. NO DIFFICULTY WITH TRANSMISSION, OPERATION OR DASHBOARD. LAST EVENT WITH CRACKLING OCCURRED AS REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED TO PUT ITEMS IN BACK SEAT. CAR NOT RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR VIVA 3 TIRES, SIZE: 215/55R16 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30 MPH AND THE CHANGE ENGINE OIL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF IN FIVE MINUTES DUE TO OVERHEATING. FURTHERMORE, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 50 TO 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HERB CHAMBERS FORD OF WESTBOROUGH (310 TURNPIKE RD, WESTBOROUGH, MA 01581, (508) 366-8311) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET AND REPLACED AND THAT THE TIRES WERE BALD. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING. REPLACED BATTERY VEHICLE STARTS BUT SHUTS RIGHT OFF ON ITS OWN. VEHICLE ALSO STARTED ON ITS OWN WITH KEYS JUST IN THE ON POSITION.

WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS OR SO, THE STEREO WILL EMIT A LOUD POP (WHICH IS QUITE ALARMING WHILST DRIVING) AND THEN GO OUT. IT IS NOW FOLLOWED BY WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS ELECTRICAL CURRENT RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE CAR AND SPEAKERS. THIS LAST SATURDAY, WHILE AT WORK, A CUSTOMER CAME IN AND ASKED WHO OWNED THE BLUE FORD FOCUS BECAUSE IT'S MAKING A WEIRD NOISE. I GO OUTSIDE (KEYS IN MY POCKET) AND SURE ENOUGH, IT SOUNDS LIKE ELECTRICITY RUNNING THROUGH THE SPEAKERS!! THE FOLLOWING DAY, IT DID THIS AGAIN (KEYS STILL IN MY POCKET). I PERFORMED A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR THIS ISSUE AND CAME UPON MULTIPLE SITES (SOME DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2015) DESCRIBING THIS ISSUE AND THE FACT THAT FORD IS UNWILLING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT TO MY...

ON THURSDAY AUGUST 2, 2018 AROUND 8:30. THE WIRES IN THE DASH BOARD CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE CARD BEGAN TO FILL WITH SMOKE. I COULD SMELL THE BURNING AND I WASN'T SURE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I COULD HEAR A SPARK SOUND AND I COULD TELL THAT THE WIRES WHERE BURNING. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THE ENTIRE CAR MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE , IF MY BOYFRIEND DIDN'T COME AND CONTAIN THE FIRE.
