2013 FORD FOCUS Engine Problems

WHILE DRIVING ONLY 20 MINUTES ON HIGHWAY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST SHOP. THEY SAID THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE FAILED WATER PUMP AND THERMOSTAT. THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID THAT DIDNT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT NEEDED A HEAD GASKET REPLACED. AFTER OPENING THE ENGINE THEY SAID THAT ITS WARPED. THE CAR (SE MODEL) HAS ONLY 84000 MILES AND WAS A CERTIFIED PREOWNED CAR WE BOUGHT FEB 2016. I WILL BE CONTACTING FORD MANUFACTURER ON A POSSIBLE RECALL #19522 AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP AS THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 7 YEAR 100000 WARRANTY.

FORD FOCUS 2013 TITANIUM IN MARCH 2020 ON INTERSTATE 90 BETWEEN ST CHARLES MN AND EYOTA MN STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AT 70 MPH AND HAD 32 MILES TO EMPTY READING ON GAUGE. VEHICLE FLATBED TOWED TO HOME 35 MILES AWAY AND GAS WAS ADDED AND VEHICLE RAN FINE. AUGUST 2020 SAME VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON STATE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR WITH 21 MILES TO EMPTY ON READING. AGAIN VEHICLE FLATBED TOWED HOME AND GAS WAS ADDED AND VEHICLE HAS RAN FINE SINCE. I BELIEVE THAT THE GAS GAUGE IS FAULTY IN THIS MODEL OF FORD FOCUS AS IN OTHER YEARS BUT NO RECALL YET FOR MODEL 2013 YEAR. WE WILL MAKE SURE GAS DOESNT GET BELOW 50 MILES AS THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW WITHIN 5 MONTHS AND NOT A COINCIDENCE.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG WITH MY 3 CHILDREN WHEN MY FORD EXPLORER 2011 SUDDENLY TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND WAS INFORMED THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED AND CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE PROBLEMS.

RECALL PERFORMED ON PURGE VALVE....STILL CANT BREATH INSIDE THE CABIN FROM THE FUMES...WAS TOLD IT THE CAT CONVERTER..... 1550 BEFORE TAX

MY CAR IS CONSTANTLY HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THE RADIO WILL CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF PLAYING IT WON'T TURN BACK ON MY CAR LITERALLY HASS TO BE TURNED OFF FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE THE RADIO WILL COME BACK ON AT ALL AND THEN IT DISCONNECTS AND MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND LIKE SOMETHINGS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE IN THE CAR WON'T EVEN BE ON NOR WILL THE KEY BE IN THE IGNITION I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNSAFE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THAT KIND OF ANNOYS IS A BIG DISTRACTION AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HAS HESITATED A NUMBER OF TIMES WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT OR IN THE RAIN OR WHILE I'M TRYING TO MAKE A TURN OR WHEN I'M TAKING OFF IT DOESN'T MATTER IT'S LIKE IT DOESN'T GET ENOUGH GAS OR IT HAS PROBLEMS SWITCHING WITH...

MY FORD CAR ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WHENEVER IT RAINS AND MY FORD CAR STALLS AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT RECALL ISSUES IT HASH LATCH DOOR CHECK LOOK AT THE SALES SERVICE FORD DEALERSHIP!2020 *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70MPH MY VEHICLE LOSS POWER ENTIRELY AND STALLED. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME AND INDICATED A CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, AND IGNITION ERRORS. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DAY IT ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM AT FAULT HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED BY FORD IN A TSB FOR THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS CHAFFING ON THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. OWNERS ARE NOT NOTIFIED THROUGH MAIL ON TSB'S AND THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED BY THE DEALER SINCE THE TSB WAS ISSUED. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CONDITION DUE TO THE ACCIDENT POTENTIAL THIS PROBLEM CREATES.

MY CAR KEEPS FLASHING THE MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS. I CAN'T GET IT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT ONLY FLICKERS ON FOR A SECOND BEFORE TURNING OFF. IT'S THE ABS LIGHT, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE INFORMATION LIGHT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED I'M GOING. IT WILL ALSO RESTART THE RADIO. ONCE I GET TO MY DESTINATION, MY WHOLE CAR WILL TURN OFF AS IF MY BATTERY DIED. I'VE TAKEN MY BATTERY TO BE TESTED AND IT'S FINE. WHEN I TRY TO TURN ON MY CAR, IT WON'T TURN ON BUT IT WILL MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYING TO RESTART A CONNECTION. WHEN MY CAR FINALLY TURNED ON, IT SAID I HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THIS CAR IS TERRIBLE, I DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN I DRIVE IT BUT I STILL OWE MONEY ON IT AND CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY IT OFF IN ORDER...

I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE HEADING TO THE INTERSTATE 95 . AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE DASHBOARD, I THE CAR AROUND AND HEADED BACK TO MY BOYFRIENDS HOUSE, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND JUMPED OUT, MY BOYFRIEND CAME OUTSIDE AND HE WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT BELT GETS STUCK ALOT AND IS VERY HARD TO DISCONNECT, THE CAR WON'T GO IN REVERSE AND IT IS PART OF A CLUTCH RECALL FORD WON'T HONOR IT IT'S BEEN REPLACED TWICE ALREADY,

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT CAUSES A STUTTERING MOVEMENT FROM A STOP. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT STARTS TO SHAKE UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I FEEL THAT I AND MY CHILDREN ARE UNSAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS!!!

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET MY CAR JERKS AND THEN GETS QUIET, WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES TO GREEN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE, NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS, I TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND AFTER ABOUT 3 MINS THE CAR FINALLY MOVES BUT WHILE DRIVING ONCE AGAIN I HIT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO INCREASE SPEED AND IT DOES NOT WORK, I DECIDE TO TURN AROUND IN A SMALL PARKING LOT AND TAKE IT HOME AND WHILE DOING THAT THE CAR DOESN'T REVERSE, I GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD AND IT JERKS AND JUMPS TO THE POINT WHERE I JUST HAD TO PARK IT AND CALL A RIDE. THE WEEK PRIOR A MECHANIC TOLD ME I JUST NEEDED COOLANT AFTER THE CAR JERKED AND STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS GOING 70MPH, AND NOW EVERY...

MY CAR IS HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC CAR. THERE IS ISSUES ACCELERATING. WHEN STOPPED I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AND ITS FINE UNTIL IT SHIFTS, THEN THE CAR STALLS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN CATCHES UP. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT GOES TO SHIFT GEARS UNTIL ABOUT 35 MPH. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT POSSES A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

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.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT CAUSES A STUTTERING MOVEMENT FROM A STOP. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS FROM A STOPPED POSITION IT STARTS TO SHAKE UPON ACCELERATION. THE CAR ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I FEEL THAT I AM UNSAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

WHILE DRIVING THE LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR STOPS AUTOMATICALLY AND THE CAR DOESN'T TURN ON FOR WHILE,THEN AFTER TWO HOURS IT TURNS ON AND I DRIVE IT FOR ANOTHER FIVE DAYS AND THAT HAPPENS AGAIN ALMOST AN IN CRASH OR I WAS VERY LUCKY FOR A VERY BAD ACCIDENT AND I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO SEND MY CAR HOME AND SINCE THEN IS UNDRIVABLE WHICH IS PARKED IN MY HOUSE

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOPPED POSITIONS LIKE WAITING TO TURN, THE CAR WILL HESITATE BADLY WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF VERY FAST. THIS OCCURS ON LEVEL AS WELL AS UNLEVEL GROUND. WE HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN 2 YEARS AND CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES. THIS OCCURS WHEN IN DRIVE WHEN TURNING ALL THE TIME. IT ALSO OCCCCURS WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO SPEED UP TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR GET AHEAD OF ONE. WHEN THE CAR IS ON AN ANGLE THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ UP TO 30 MILES ON THE TANK BUT WILL STOP AS THE FUEL SENSOR DOES NOT SHOW THE CAR HAS GAS IN IT. WE HAVE HAD THE FUEL GAUGE CHANGED 2 TIMES IN A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THIS OCCURS WHEN PARKING THE CAR IN OUR DRIVEWAY. THIS OCCURS EVERY DAT THAT WE HAVE HAD THE CAR.
