2013 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING. *LD *TR

I CALLED WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON, PA ON 1/17/2019 REGARDING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DUE TO FORD FOCUS RECALL (PURGE VALVE). THEY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR 1/30/2019 TO FIX THE RECALL. TOOK MY CAR IN ON THE EVE OF 1/29/2019 AND DROPPED IT OFF. THEY CALLED ME THE FOLLOWING DAY TO SAY THEY DIDNT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO PICK UP MY CAR AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART CAME IN. I HAD AN INSPECTION SCHEDULED FOR 2/7/2019 AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COME IN PRIOR TO MY INSPECTION. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM BUT CALLED BACK A FEW TIMES, TELLING THEM I HAD NEW CODES COMING UP ON MY OBD SENSOR (FIXD) THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING ROUGH, STALLING OUT WHILE IDLING/STOPPED.. THEY ASSURED ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY DID NOT GET PART IN BY 2/7/2019 AND I MISSED MY INSPECTION. TWO...

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SAID TO GET OUT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. THE DEALERSHIP EVENTUALLY FIXED THE CAR AND CLAIMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION ISSUE IS STILL CAUSING ISSUES.

SHUDDERING BETWEEN I BELIEVE FIRST AND SECOND GEARS 63000 MILES ON IT PAPER WORK FROM APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES AGO

2013 FORD FOCUS, WAS BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALERSHIP AND HAS HAD CLUTCH ISSUES FROM BEGINNING. THE CAR STUTTERS ON ACCELERATION, SHIFTS HARD, AND OCCASIONALLY THERE IS A DELAY WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. A RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON THIS CAR AND THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED, BUT STILL HAD SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN SEEN 8 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE, AND HAS NEVER BEEN RESOLVED. THE CLUTCH THAT WAS REPLACED DURING THE RECALL HAS FAILED THE PERFORMANCE TEST, BUT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE DUE TO EXPIRED WARRANTY. RECENTLY ANOTHER RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO A STUCK CANNISTER PURGE VALVE. THIS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL AND THE FUEL METER TO READ INCORRECTLY. THIS CAUSED ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY GAS METER REPORTED I STILL HAD HALF A TANK OF FUEL. ON 11/29/18, THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE RECALL AND BELIEVING...

TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND SHUDDERS EVEN AFTER CLUTCH PACK REPLACEMENT

VEHICLE PURCHASED IN 2015 WITH LESS THAN 20K MILES. 1ST PROBLEM, EXPLODED TIRE CAUSING MINOR BODY DAMAGE AND SENSOR DAMAGE. THANKFULLY JUST CAME FROM A STOP SIGN AND NOT TRAVELING FAST, NO INJURY. 2ND PROBLEM, DRIVING DOWN ROAD AT APPROX 35MPH WHEN AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. WONDERED IF HIT SMALL ANIMAL. GOT OUT TO INVESTIGATE.....NOTHING. VEHICLE THEN ROLLED OFF ROAD (DECLINE IN TERRAIN) LANDING RESTED IN A CHAIN LINK FENCE. UPON INSPECTION, DISCOVERED THAT MOTOR MOUNTS HAD FAILED CAUSING MOTOR TO DROP FORWARDS TOWARDS RADIATOR THEREFORE INDICATING CRASH AND DEPLOYING AIRBAGS. ALL COMPONENTS CONNECTED TO MOTOR RIPPED FORWARDS AS WELL. THANKFULLY ALSO NO INJURY. IF THAT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEEDS, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH COULD HAVE RESULTED. THERE IS NO REASON OR EXCUSE FOR FAILURE OF MOTOR MOUNTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT. CONTACTED FORD AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL NUMBER I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN. REQUESTED ONLY TO ADDRESS...

THIS CAR SHUDDERS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. ESPECIALLY BAD GOING UP AN INCLINE

MY CAR START SHUTTERING ON ACCERALTION AND SHIFTING FUNNY. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND A LOT OF PEOPLE SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CLUTCH. I CALLED FORD IMMEDIATELY FOR SCHEDULE FOR THE RECALL BUT THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT LONGER A RECALL. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT RECALLS WERE GOOD FOR 10 YEARS AND ALSO THOUGHT THAT FORD HAD TO NOTIFY ME YET I NEVER EVEN KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL AND NOW I CANT SEEM TO GET IT FIXED. IS THAT RIGHT?

TRANSMISSION STUTTERED, JERKED UPON RECEIPT OF OWNERSHIP. NORTHGATE FORD SERVICEMAN, UPON REPORT, ASSURED ME THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. TRANSMISSION BROKE AFTER THE WARRANTY AND I WAS STUCK WITH ALL THE COST OF REPAIR PLUS RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE FOTRD FOCUS WAS REPAIRED. I WILL ACCEPT NOTHING BUT A TOTAL REIMBURSEMENT OF MY COSTS FOR REPAIR AND CAR RENTAL.

THE FOCUS DPS6 TRANSMISSION CONTINUOUSLY SHUDDERS AND STALLS WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING OUT AND SHIFTING BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. AFTER ALL OF THE INCIDENCES I HAVE HEARD ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION, I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE AN OFFICIAL RECALL THAT ALLOWS FOR REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION.

THE POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE, AS I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES IN A CAR WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES. I HAD MY CLUTCH PACK REPLACED FOR SLIPPING AND SHUDDERING TWICE WITHIN A TWO MONTH/2,000 MILE PERIOD. INITIALLY THE PROBLEMS WENT AWAY, BUT THEY CAME BACK AND ARE WORSE NOW. THERE HAVE BEEN 2 INCIDENCES WHERE I WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR'S SCREEN SAID TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION; THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS SO I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. BOTH TIMES I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE (OVERNIGHT), IT WOULD TURN BACK ON EVERYTHING WOULD BE NORMAL. THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER HAPPENS WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR FROM A NEAR STOP, LIKE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC; THE CAR SHAKES AND ACCELERATION IS VERY UNEVEN. WHEN THE CAR IS FIRST STARTED IN COLD WEATHER, THE RPMS...

MY CAR IS MISSING/STUTTERING, THE FUEL GAUGE DOESN'T SHOW THE ACCURATE MILES TO EMPTY, AND MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING BOTH LOCALLY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO WRECKS BECAUSE THE CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF. WHEN I PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE THE CAR WON'T IMMEDIATELY CRANK. I HAVE TO TRY TO CRANK IT ABOUT 3 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS. MY CAR DOES A LOT OF THE SAME THINGS THAT ARE LISTED IN RECALL # 18V735.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN/ LIGHT, THE CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY. I'VE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THE INFORMATION ON THE BILL STATES "CLUTCH MISFIRE". THE FIX IS TEMPORARY, LASTING A MONTH OR TWO, AND THEN THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS AND THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING PROBLEM.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN FORWARD GEARS, WILL NOT STAY IN REVERSE.

VEHICLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILS TO SHIFT GEARS CAUSING STALL, SEVERE SHUDDER, INABILITY TO ACCELERATE THROUGH INTERSECTIONS AND ONTO HIGHWAY ON-RAMPS. DEALERS REFUSE WARRANTY SERVICE TO REPAIR CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. DEALERS ACKNOWLEDGE FAULT DUE TO PRECISELY SAME MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH 2012 FORD FOCUS MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RECALL, BUT FOR THIS 2013 MODEL DEALERS REQUIRE REPAIR COST OF $1,300 TO $1,600 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. VEHICLE HAS ONLY ABOUT 65,000 MILES. PROBLEM STARTED CIRCA 11/5/2018 AND PERSISTS INTERMITTENTLY. REVIEW OF FORD FOCUS BLOGS AND OWNER COMMENT WEBSITES INDICATE PROBLEM WELL-KNOWN AND UBIQUITOUS.

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.

CAR SHUDDERS AT VARYING SEVERITIES--SOMETIMES MORE MILD THAN OTHERS, MOSTLY SEVERE OTHERWISE DURING ACCELRATION, AND VARIOUS MOMENTS WHILE DRIVING, AND DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF TURNING. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO GEORGE WALL FORD LINCOLN IN SHREWSBURY NJ TWICE FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. FIRST TIME THEY UPDATED A MODULE AND IT HELPED FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED. SECOND TIME THEY HAD IT EVEN LONGER, AND UPON PICK UP I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR WAS ACTING 'WITHIN SPEC', AND DOING 'WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO,' SO NO FIX WAS MADE. CAR CONTINUES TO SHUDDER SEVERELY. TRANSMISSION IS TECHNICALLY MANUAL, DESPITE BEING AN AUTOMATIC, AND THE COMPUTER DOES THE SHIFTING. THAT IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. HOWEVER, IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEN THIS CAR DRIVES MANUAL TERRIBLY. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER SUPPORT CHAT AND WAS TOLD I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR BUYBACK BECAUSE OF CAR'S...

MANY PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 FORD FOCUS THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH MY FORD FOCUS THAT I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL TANK COLLAPSING AND NEEDING TO REPLACE MOST OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. I HAD THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED AS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE AS MY EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, HOPING THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT TO FIX MY CAR COMPLETELY, IT WOULD MOST LIKELY NEED A NEW FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER, FUEL LINE AND OF COURSE THE PURGE VALVE ( WHICH I HAD REPLACED ). MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND I DO NOT KNOW HOW OR WHY I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. I...

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES. THIS TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP AND STAYING IN FIRST GEAR TO LONG, AND THEN WHEN IT DOES FINALLY SHIFT, IT SKIPS GEARS AND GOES DIRECTLY INTO HIGH GEAR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 77,356 MILES ON IT. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL TRANSMISSION. WHAT ACTION DOES A CONSUMER HAVE WITH A VEHICLE THAT HAS KNOWN ISSUES? THERE HAS BEEN NO OFFICIAL RECALL ON THIS MODEL, ALTHOUGH THE ISSUE IS WELL KNOWN AMONG FOCUS OWNERS, AND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN INITIATED.

I HAVE HAD MY FORD FOCUS IN EIGHT TIMES FOR A TRANSMISSION SHUDDER. THE FIX WORKS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS THEN REAPPEARS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE HESITATION HAPPENS UPON ACCELERATING AND MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY OR INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND WAS BASICALLY TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. I AM A INGLE PARENT THAT BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR SO I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ISSUES AND SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I NEVER GOT THE NEW CAR REASSURANCE AND WORRY THAT THIS SHUDDER WILL HAPPEN AT A TIME WHERE IT PUT US AND OTHERS IN DANGER.THE PO BOX ADDRESS ON THE WEBSITE IS ALSO INCORRECT

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. I BELIEVE ITS AT NUMBER 12 NOW. I'VE HAD THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES REPLACED 2 TIMES, PROGRAMMED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE DRIVER PREDICTOR COMPUTER TWO TIMES. THE DANGER OF THE PRODUCT STILL AFTER ALL THIS IS THAT WHEN I PULL ONTO THE ROAD IT JERKS, HESITATES AND AT TIMES LOSES POWER BEFORE SURGING FORWARD. IT CAN BE WHILE I'M STARTING OUT AT A RED LIGHT OR PULLING OUT ONTO MAIN 70 MILE AN HOUR HIGHWAY. AT ONE TIME WHEN DRIVER PREDICTOR WENT OUT, IT STALLED ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO DRIFT INTO THE PARKING LOT WITH A LOCKED UP STEERING WHEEL. I LIVE IN A SMALL COMMUNITY AND THERE ARE 3 OTHER RESIDENTS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TRANSPORT MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THIS AUTO AND I LACK CONFIDENCE EVERY TIME I PULL OUT. THIS IS...

BOUGHT THIS CAR - HAD LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TWICE. THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES WERE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. STEERING ASSIST FAULT/MALFUNCTION WAS HAPPENING. YOU'D SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD FIX ITSELF. THE STEERING ASSIST FAULT COME ONE WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND SHE COULD NO LONGER STEER THE VEHICLE. THANK GOD SHE WASN'T INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND WAS CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL-KNOWN DEFECT IN THE FORD CARS AND FORD IS OFFERING NO HELP TO FIX THE ISSUES. THEY ARE GOING TO GET SUED BECAUSE, SADLY, THIS DEFECT IS GOING TO END UP KILLING SOMEONE. THEY ARE LUCKY MY DAUGHTER WASN'T HURT. THIS STEERING ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED. LIVES ARE AT RISK AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE (ESPECIALLY FORD!). NOW FORD WANTS $2,500 TO FIX THIS DEFECT. I DON'T THINK...

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE JUTTED. LATER, ON A COUNTRY ROAD THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE NOTIFICATION POPPED UP. WHEN SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU A HILL START ASSIST MODE NOT AVAILABLE NOTIFICATION POPPED UP AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE COULD NOT SWITCH GEARS. I HAD TO RESTART MY CAR FOR IT TO MOVE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I HAD TO STOP AGAIN AND I HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND ON A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET MY CAR TO MOVE.

I HAVE A 2013 FORD FOCUS SE HATCHBACK AND AS I WAS GETTING GAS YESTERDAY ( 8/8/2018) AFTER I COMPLETED PUTTING GAS IN MY CAR AND GO TO START THE CAR UP IT STARTED BEEPING AND THEN I GOT A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW. SO I TOOK IT TO MY HOUSE AND NOTICED AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR THAT IT DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT AS IT NORMALLY WOULD AND IT WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE GRINDING AND HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR AS WELL AS FROM UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SEAT AREA. UNTIL YESTERDAY THE CAR HAS NEVER MADE THAT SOUND BEFORE AND I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR AND THIS IS THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD OTHER THAN NORMAL WARE AND TEAR.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY / BRIGHTON FORD, REFUSING TO COVER VEHICLE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH CAR FALLS WITHIN ALL PARAMETERS AND EXHIBITS NOT ONLY ONE, BUT BOTH CONDITIONS COVERED UNDER TWO SEPARATE PROGRAMS AT FORD, (14MO1 ?

FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. GOING UPHILL ON A HIGHWAY A SPEED OF APPROX. 35 MPG, (NORMAL SPEED FOR AREA I WAS IN), HAD A HESITATION FELT LIKE I WAS LOSING ACCELERATION. ONCE UPHILL, PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND PUT IN REVERSE TO TURN AROUND, CAR WOULD NOT GO REVERSE, WOULD GO FORWARD, INTO PARK AND NEUTRAL, BUT NOT REVERSE. SHUT OFF ALL ACCESSORIES (A/C, RADIO ETC.) PUT IN PARK AND TURNED CAR OFF. WAITED 5 MINUTES AND TURNED CAR BACK ON AND REVERSE WORKED. I HAVE FELT A SLIP AS SUCH ONLY ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND CAR CORRECTED ITSELF, BUT THIS TIME IT DID NOT, UNTIL I SHUT THE CAR OFF ALL THE WAY.

THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO COVER WHATEVER THE PART WAS OUT TO 150K MILES. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS THE RADIO/SYNC SYSTEM QUIT WORKING. AND AS OF TODAY JULY 7 A STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING IS COMING UP ON THE DASH. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THE PROBLEM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE STEERING ASSIST FAULT WARNING COMES ON WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE NOT SEEN IT HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER THEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY HAPPENED BEFORE TOOK TO SHOP AND SAID THE REAR MAIN SEAL WENT OUT WHICH CAUSED OIL TO LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION AND MAKING THE CLUTCH SLIP

STARTING FEBRUARY 2018 THE CAR WAS JERKING AND IT HAD TURNED OFF ON ME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY 3 TIMES. I HAVE CHANGED OXYGEN SENSORS AND PURGE VALVE (I HAVE RECEIPTS) AND IT HAD INITIALLY HELPED. AS OF JUNE 2, 2018, IT IS JERKING AND TURNING OFF AGAIN AND THROWING CHECK ENGINE CODE P0805 AND P080A. THE SYSTEM FROM CAR NOTIFIED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS HOT AND NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF. FROM JUNE 2, 2018 I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A POWERSHIFT RECALL ON ALL 2013 FORD FOCUS CARS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. MY CAR FALLS UNDER THAT RECALL AND I WANT THIS TAKEN CARE OF . I PLAN ON RETAINING AN ATTORNEY SO I CAN GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THE FACT THAT I AM DRIVING AND PAYING ON A DEFECTIVE CAR. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL AND A WARNING ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION RUNNING HOT CAME ON, I HAD JUST CALLED MY MECHANIC TO CHECK WHY MY ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON, AND HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP. HE CHECKED AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO THE POWERSHIFT RECALL, AND THAT FORD PLANT SHOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, THEY WILL ALSO CLAIM THAT IN COURT IF NECESSARY.

CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN FOR SHUDDER BAD AT TAKE OFF TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. FORD IS TELLING ME SHUDDER AND JERKING IS WITHIN NORMAL AND ACCEPTABLE RANGE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS SHUDDER IS ACCEPTABLE. I'VE HAD THE CLUTCHES REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CAR IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE THE UPDATE CLUTCHES BUT HERE WE ARE AGAIN WITH ISSUES. THE CAR CLUNKED AND JERKED OUT OF GEAR GOING 65 DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ONE POINT AND WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A STOP OFF THE ROAD AND GET A TOW. THIS CAR HAS HAD WAY TOO MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND MAKES ME SCARED TO DRIVE YET I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR BECAUSE I CAN'T GET OUT OF LOAN DO TO THE RESALE VALUE DROPPING DUE TO THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR DOES NOT FEEL SAFE AND...

THE CAR IS STALLING WHEN ACCELERATING WHICH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT FROM THIS YEAR FOCUS OWNERS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP BUT THEY TOO WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. SOME OF THE READING IS SHOWING THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ISSUE WHICH IS CAUSING THIS.

WHILE TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHTS IN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM FIRST GEAR INTO SECOND GEAR I GET A BUNNY HOP VIBRATION OUT OF THE FRONT END OF MY CAR SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALER TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE BUT YET MY VEHICLE KEEPS DOING THIS I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE IT STATES THAT THERE IS NOT BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD'S TRANSMISSIONS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT VEHICLES

WHEN THE CAR STARTS MOVING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING CAUSING A LOSS IN MOMENTUM. THIS HAPPENS IN THE FIRST TWO GEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.
