GEAR SHIFT ISN'T SHIFTING AUTOMATICALLY PAST 20/30 MPH. CAR JOLTS FORWARD ON IT'S OWN OCCASIONALLY WITHOUT GAS PEDAL BEING PRESSED. WHEN FIRST PRESSING ON GAS CAR TREMBLES.

THE CAR DISPLAYS THE P0902 OBII CODE. THE ENGINE STALLS AND WONT CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. THIS IS SPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING SINCE THE CARS BEHIND YOU CAN'T SEE YOU'RE STALLING AND MAY CRASH INTO YOU. SOME TIMES IT GETS SO BAD THAT THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS A MESSAGE THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS HEATED UP AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WON'T EVEN RUN OR CHANGE GEARS AT THAT POINT. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING. SPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLE FOR A WHILE.

CAR CUTS OF AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING AND HAD TO GET COOLANT AND HEATER HOSE REPLACED. WHEN ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT START.

MY CAR HAS ALL THESE SYMPTOM ,TOOK IT BY THE DEALERSHIP TO GET FIXED THEY SAID FORD WOULD NOT FIX THE DEFECTS. BECAUSE SPECIAL CODES DIDN'T COME UP. SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME. FORD DOES NOT WANT TO COVER THEIR RECALLS !!!

I PURCHASED MY FORD FOCUS 2014 WITH 40,000 MILES FOR $17,000, MID YEAR OF 2017. THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY BEFORE ITS FIRST RECALL IN DECEMBER OF 2018. EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BROKEN DOWN AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD FOUR RECALL REPAIRS SINCE THE PURCHASE, I BELIEVE THE RECALLS ARE THE REASON IT NEEDS SO MANY ADDITIONAL OTHER REPAIRS. BESIDES THE CAR ITSELF I HAVE SPENT OVER $35,000 ON ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. I HAVE PAID FORD, MURRAY'S AUTO / ACIMA, ALL 4 U AUTO, FIRESTONE AND BEST TIRES FOR REPAIRS.
