2014 FORD FOCUS Power Train Problems

CAR SHUDDERS AND SHAKES AT HIGH SPEED. IT DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR AND RPMS ARE OVER 6500. I MUST STEP ON BRAKE TO GET CAR TO SHIFT GEARS. CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER ON FREEWAY TWICE AT 55 MPH. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED FIVE TIMES. CAR MAKES CRANKING NOISES IN REVERSE. CAR ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN TAKING OFF BRAKE ON HILL AND WOULD HIT SOMEONE IF THEY WERE BEHIND ME. CAR MAKES CRANKING NOISES ON STREETS AND WHEN ENGINE IS OFF AND KEY IS TAKEN OUT OF CAR.

HERE IS ANOTHER PICTURE. THIS IS THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE WASHER FLUID PUMP. FLUID LEAKS OUT OF THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE PUMP AND GETS PUSHED THROUGH THE WIRING LOOM AND THE FLUID LEAKS ONTO THE BODY CONTROL MODULE CAUSING CORROSION AND FAILURE OF THE BCM.

THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND THE RPMS GET HIGH IN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS, IT TAKES FOREVER TO ACCELERATE, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SAY 100 MILES TILL EMPTY THEN DIE ON YOU, I HAVE BEEN STRANDED 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR DUE TO THAT, RECENTLY ON 2/8/20 THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AND PROCEEDED TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO LITERALLY PUSH THE CAR OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AND INTO A STORE PARKING LOT DURING 5PM TRAFFIC. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS CAR RECEIVED A 5 STAR SAFETY RATING, I FEEL A NUMBER OF THINGS ABOUT THIS MODEL CAR AND COMPANY BUT SAFE DEFINITELY IS NOT ONE OF THEM. DOORS THAT HAVE DEFECTIVE LATCHES, OPENING AT ANYTIME, TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS LEADING TO CARS CONSTANTLY ALMOST REAR ENDING YOU, AND A CAR THAT CAN STALL IN THE...

CLUTCH MALFUNCTION. GEAR SLIPPING. NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY.

PROBLEMA DE TRANSMISIN Y CLUTCH DESDE LAS 42000 MILLAS Y LO LLEVE DENTRO DE LOS 90 DAS DE GARANTA CUANDO LO COMPRE PERO EL EL VENDEDOR DICE QUE ES PROBLEMA DE FBRICA EL CARRO SE JALA Y NO ENTRAN BIEN LOS CAMBIOS

THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER WHILE DRIVING (CITY AND HIGHWAY), HESITATE SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN ACCELERATING, HAS DIED IN THE ROADWAY, HAS BEEN IN GEAR BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, AND JUMPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT BOTH CLUTCH ACTUATORS ARE DEFECTIVE. THIS IS NOT IN RELATION TO ANY PRIOR RECALLS. WAS ADVISED THIS IS ALSO A MAJOR ISSUE THAT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SEES. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THEY WANT AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT TO FIX IT. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE HIGH FEE SO THESE CARS ARE STAYING ON THE ROAD.

CAR WAS TAKEN TO FORD DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALLS DONE FOR THE TRANSMISSION, FUEL TANK EVAP AND DOOR LATCH. FORD COMPLETED THE RECALLS FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM AND DOOR LATCH AT THIS POTICULAR TIME THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT FIXED.(DID NOT PASS FORDS SHUTTER TEST). AT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION, ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. I PICKED THE CAR UP AMD DROVE WITH MY SON THE VEHICLE DID NOT DRIVE RIGHT BECAUSE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AFTER CONTACTING FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT MY CONCERN WITH THE DRIVABILITY OF THE CAR. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT BUT HAD TO WAIT APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS BECAUSE THEY WERE REPLACING THE FLOOR IN THEIR SHOP. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME UNTIL THE APPOINTMENT. AFTER DROPPING HE CAR OFF AND FORD DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, I RECEIVED A CALL SAYING FORD MOTOR...

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT AND SOMEONE ON A BICYCLE CAME BY. WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE MY RPM'S SHOT WAY HIGH AND MY CAR TRIED TO DRIVE ITSELF FORWARD. LUCKILY THE BIKE RIDER HAD GONE BY. BUT COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN HIT IF MY CAR DID WHAT IT TRIED TO DO. I HAVE BEEN HONKED AT AND HIGH BEAMED WHEN I TRY TO PASS SOMEONE ON A HIGHWAY AND I END UP WITH LITTLE TO NO POWER AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME NEARLY REAR ENDS ME BECAUSE MY CAR WONT GO. WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HAS TO TRAGICALLY DIE BEFORE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FORD FOCUS' ON THE ROAD. THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE. FORD KNEW THAT, THERE IS PROOF THEY KNEW THAT AND MADE THEM ANYWAY. ITS YOUR JOB AS HIGHWAY SAFETY TO MAKE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER HOLMES TUTTLE FORD LINCOLN LOCATED AT 660 W AUTO MALL DR, TUCSON, AZ 85705, (866) 930-6255, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH FORKS TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH FORKS BUT DECLINED TO COMPLETE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,711.

I WILL BEGIN WITH MY CONCERN AND THEN PROCEED TO GIVE YOU MY BACK STORY. I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A VERY REAL BROADSIDE COLLISION WITH AN 18-WHEELER AND ANOTHER FORD F-150 ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR THROUGH THE TURN. THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE THIS IS THE FEELING/NOISE WE'VE ALL HAD LEARNING TO DRIVE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND YOU MISS THE GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS REACHING THE REV LIMITER. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. I'M VERY FORTUNATE IN THE FACT THAT THE ONCOMING VEHICLES WERE ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, THEN PUT IT BACK IN GEAR TO GET IT GOING AGAIN.THE CAR JUST REACHED 55,000 MILES AND I'VE HAD TO BRING...

WE TEST DROVE FORD FOCUS 2014 SE WITH 50K MILES AT THE DODGE DEALER IN CLERMONT GOTTA. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERED WHEN GOING UPHILL AND TURNING LEFT WITH 4 PASSENGERS. WHEN POINTED OUT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS FINE. JUST HEAVY LOAD GOING UP HILL AND TURNING. WE DROVE THE CAR 2000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION GOT WORSE. FORD DEALER SAID THEY'D REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES ON MANY OF THESE FOCUS AUTOMATIC TIPTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS AND SOME WERE RECALLED SOME WEREN'T. OF COURSE "OURS" WASN'T A RECALL AND COST $2000 AFTER OWNING THE CASE LESS THEN 30 DAYS. THE DEALER SAYS IT WAS SOLD AS IS. I WON'T RECOMMEND THAT DODGE DEALER IN CLERMONT, FLORIDA! AFTER THE FORD DEALER REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION AND DRIVING 2000 MILES MORE, THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUTTERING AND HESITATING AGAIN. FORD SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION AS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM...

CAR SHAKES/SHATTER EVERYTIME IT SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD GEAR. NOW THE TRANSMISSION IT GOES BACK AND FORWARD TO NEUTRAL BETWEEN SHIFTING.THE ISSUES IS GETTING WORSE AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. AFTER REVIEWING VARIOUS COMPLAINTS I FIND OUT THAT ALL FORDS FROM 2012 AND NEWER HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND FORD HAS REFUSED TO CORRECTED. THEY ONLY HAVE A RECALL ON THE PCM COMPUTER BUT REFUSED TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH OR TRANSMISSION. EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILEAGE SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED AS REMEDY SINCE THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO COME BACK. IT IS TIME FOR FORD TO TAKE OWNERSHIP ON THEIR MISTAKE AND BE FORCED TO RECALL ALL TRANSACTIONS ON OUR CARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND HESITATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V523000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (GEORGE WALL FORD LINCOLN 700 SHREWSBURY AVE, RED BANK, NJ 07701) TO BE DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS INCONCLUSIVE. THE MECHANIC WAS ALSO UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. *DT*JB

FOR AT LEAST THE LAST THREE YEARS THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SHORT PERIODS OF NON-STARTING. IN OCTOBER, 2019 THE CAR WOULD NOT START PERIOD. PREVIOUS IT WAS ABLE TO START AFTER MOVING THE SHIFTER FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND BACK AND SOMETIME USING THE REMOTE START. THE OCTOBER ISSUE REQUIRED TOWING TO NORTH COUNTY FORD IN VISTA, CA. AFTER FIVE DAYS, IT WAS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPALCEMENT. AFTER REPLACEMENT THE NON-STARTING ISSUE RESOLVED, BUT IN THE LAST THREE WEEKS IT HAS RETURNED. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY 80 IN THE LEFT HAND LANE , READY TO PASS A SEMI TRUCK WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER FROM THE ENGINE A LIGHT CAME ON AND IT READ ENGINE DEFAULT SERVICE NOW OK , AS ALL POWER WAS SHUT DOWN . I WAS THEN FORCED TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY LANE . I WAS ALMOST RAN OVER BY TWO SEMI TRUCKS COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIGHWAY 80. I HAD IT SERVICED AT PHIL LONG FORD CHAPPEL HILLS IN COLORADO SPRINGS AND THEY WANTED $4500 TO FIX IT .

TRANSMISSION WORK TEMPORARILY IN REVERSE. THEN REVERSE GOES OUT COMPLETELY. I'M ABOUT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK FOR REPAIR THE 5TH TIME. AND I'M VERY FRUSTRATED AND MAD. THAT I CAN'T DRIVE IT. I WANT ANOTHER VEHICLE OR BE COMPENSATED ME A CHECK FOR THE VEHICLE SO I CAN GET ANOTHER ONE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

THE VEHICLE IS HAVING HARD JERKING/SHUTTERING DUE TO A CLUTCH MALFUNCTION DURING FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. FOR A WHILE I'VE HAD THE SAME JERKING (SOMETIMES VERY BAD) THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS HAD DUE TO A CLUTCH MALFUNCTION. I RECEIVED A LETTER FOR THE RECALL FROM FORD AND WHEN I WENT TO HAVE THE CLUTCH FIXED THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TO INFORM ME THAT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE DUE TO HAVING A BRANDED TITLE. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER WHEN I WAS MAKING AN APPOINTMENT AND PROCEEDED TO TELL ME AFTER I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AND THEY HAD IT FOR THE WHOLE DAY.THE REASON MY CAR IS A BRANDED TITLE IS DUE TO COSMETIC DAMAGE, NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FRONT OF THE CAR. ALL OF THE PARTS ON THE CAR ARE THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURED PARTS. THIS BEING SAID, I'M HAVING A CONCERN THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CLUTCH IS...

WE RECIEVED A TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING INDICATOR STATING WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. WE JUST HAD THE 8TH CLUTCH PLACED IN THE CAR!

TCM REPLACED 66,550, CLUTCH PACK REPLACED 68,148, AND COMPLETE COMMUNICATION FAILURE BETWEEN THE THROTTLE AND TRANSMISSION, TONIGHT AT 82,000 MILES, I FULLY OPENED THE THROTTLE PEDAL DOWN, AND TRANSMISSION FAILED TO GIVE ME ANY ACCELERATION FOR 3-5 SECONDS.THIS ALMOST CAUSED A BAD SITUATION TONIGHT. RADIATOR REPLACED AT 77,600, COOLANT STILL DROPS TO THE MIN- LINE. NO REASONING ON WHERE THE COOLANT IS GOING.

I WAS SENT PAPER WORK FOR A RECALL FROM FORD MOTORS (19N08 ) REF: MY TRANSMISSION CLUTCH BEING FAULTY CLUTCH SHUDDERING WHICH HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES AND CAUSING IT TO FEEL LIKE THE CAR WOULD STOP RIGHT THERE. I CALLED MY ;LOCAL FORD DEALER REF: THIS RECALL AND WAS GIVEN A SCHEDULE TIME FOR REPAIR. THEY CHECKED THE FOCUS AND FOUND ITS TRANSMISSION HAD THE ABOVE PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE FIXED . THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH PARTS. WHEN IT CAME TIME TO PICK UP MY CALL I WAS TOLD I HAD TO PAY THE BILL TO RETRIEVE MY CAR BACK. $1088 THAT FORD WAS NOT GOING TO PAY THE REPAIR COST. I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD MY CAR HAS BRANDED TITLE SALVAGE.I DIDNT KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT BEFORE THE REPAIR. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE### TOLD ME THEY USE A THIRD PARTY TO SEND NOTICES OF MY VIN. AND THEY DIDNT...

TOOK MY FOCUS IN TO HAVE A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RECALL CLUTCH REPLACEMENT FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. I EXPERIENCED BAD JERKING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE CLUTCH 2 1/2 MONTHS AGO. I'M NOW AT THE DEALER WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT ON ON AND SEVERELY BAD JERKING AND SHIFTING ISSUES AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC SAYS I NEED 2 TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVERS REPLACED (LEVERS A &B) COST IN EXCESS OF $1000. THIS TRANSMISSION AS A WHOLE IS DEFECTIVE. WHY IS FORD GETTING AWAY WITH THIS???

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED AND HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SELINSGROVE FORD (10 N SUSQUEHANNA TRAIL, SELINSGROVE, PA 17870, (570) 374-8131) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS INITIALLY REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN MAKING A LEFT ENGINE WOULD HESITATE FOR 3-4 SECONDS AND NOT ALLOW TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME ON THE FREEWAY NOVEMBER 19, 2019. GOING ABOUT 65 MPH AND IT STARTED SHIFTING WEIRD. I MADE IT HOME HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER GOT THE CODES AND IT WAS ALL RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS RECALLED ON MY CAR LAST YEAR AND THE DEALER FIXED IT. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY HAD IT FOR ABOUT A WEEK, CALLED AND TOLD ME THEY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AGAIN HOWEVER THERE WAS MORE DAMAGE. ITS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IT NEEDS A NEW CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, SLAVE CYLINDER AND 2 CLUTCH RELEASE LEVERS. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS MY FAULT AND IT WOULD COST ME ABOUT $2000. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY CAR I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $2000 RIGHT NOW AND I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON MY...

WE BOUGHT A 2014 FORD FOCUS NEW IN 01/2015. FROM DAY 1 THE TRANSMISSION GAVE US TROUBLE, IT WOULD HESITATE AND SHUTTER WHILE ACCELERATING CAUSING MANY CLOSE CALLS OF GETTING HIT WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ON ONE OCCASION IT POP INTO NEUTRAL FOR A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE MOVING. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR BUT DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S DEATH IF WE SELL IT. WE GAVE UP ON THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE BROUGHT IT IN NUMEROUS TIMES TRYING TO GET REPAIRED AND THEY WOULD TELL US THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

TYPICAL FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION CLUTCH FAILURE. SHUDDERING, JERKING, ETC., IN INITIAL ACCELERATION. PURCHASED VEHICLE USED ON 9/2/17. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON 9/12/17. DEALER REPLACED CLUTCH, ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE STARTED HAVING SAME ISSUE, THOUGH VERY SLIGHT COMPARED TO FIRST TIME, AROUND 10/19. WENT TO DEALER MID-NOVEMBER 2019. WAS GIVEN APPOINTMENT FOR 12/3/19 FOR DEALER TO CHECK TRANSMISSION. PICKED UP VEHICLE ON 12/4/19. INVOICE STATES THEY REPLACED "SEAL ASY.-OIL 8138", "FLUID-TRANSM 5017", "CLUTCH ASY. 048090", "BRAKE CLEANER 21401". THEY ALSO PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR - "18S32 FUEL TANK DEFORMATION RECALL", AND, "18S32-A CHECK FOR AVAILABLE PCM SOFTWARE UPDATE, NO AVAILABLE SOFTWARE UPDATE, NO PARTS REPLACED." THE TRANSMISSION IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. WANTED TO SEND THIS TO NHTSA SO THERE IS A RECORD OF ANOTHER ONE. WILL UPDATE IN FUTURE SHOULD TRANNY FAIL AGAIN. STILL AWAITING A FORMAL RECALL ON THESE...

I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. BEFORE I COULD GET IT DIAGNOSED I WAS ON THE ROAD GOING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I COMPLETELY LOST POWER. IT FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD JUST SWITCH TO NEUTRAL AND I WAS GIVING GAS BUT GOING NOWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND CARRY ON. A FEW DAYS LATER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ALMOST 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I SUDDENLY COMPLETELY LOST POWER AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY BUT IT WAS FAIRLY TERRIFYING TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NOT HAVE POWER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I...

THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AT LOW SPEED. OCCASIONALLY THE TRANSMISSION WILL HESITATE WHEN TAKEN OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE. THE TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASED AND TOWED TO DEALERSHIP.

HAD TO HAVE 4 OR 5 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SERVICES DONE UNDER WARRANTY TO RESOLVE HARSH SHIFTING, ERRATIC SHIFTING, BUCKING ETC. INLUDING TOTAL CLUTCH REBUILDS, SOFTWARE FLASHES, AND TOTAL TCM REPLACEMENT AND THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED.

VEHICLE ALERT "STOP SAFELY NOW" CAME ON AND VEHICLE DEPOWERED WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVING STRAIGHT ON APPROXIMATELY 8/28/2019. PROBLEM REPEATED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN VEHICLE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY STOPPED SAME DAY. SIMILAR TO PROBLEMS EXPLAINED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V-523. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE PROBLEM MAY RESULT IN A STALL-LIKE CONDITION. PROBLEM REPEATED ITSELF EACH TIME A START WAS ATTEMPTED 11/25-12/3/19, WHILE CAR WAS PARKED.

TOOK FORD FOCUS TO AN ESTIMATOR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TAYLOR FORD AND REPORTED A MAJOR TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THEY STATED ITS A FEE IN ADVANCE AND IT IS ONLY LOOKING INTO ONE ISSUE CALLED MODULE ONLY THE REST WOULD BE ON US INCLUDING FEE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE/ RECALL LOOKED AT. NOW WE HAVE NO TRANS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A REAL AND YET CONCEALED ISSUE BY FORD AND ALL THEIR EMPLOYEES ? WHAT THE HECK, WE WERE ALMOST KILLED ON THANKSGIVING AND VEHICLE WE WERE RIDING IN WOULD NOT SHIFT.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND CREATING A DANGEROUS JERKY ACCELERATION. IT HAS ALMOST GOT ME REAR ENDED. IN TRAFFIC I WAS ACCELERATING AND IT WOULDN'T SHORT INTO SECOND CORRECTLY. WHEN IT DID IT SENT ME JERKING FORWARD WHEN TRAFFIC WAS STOPPING FORCING ME TO HIT THE BRAKES HARD AND CREATED A CHAIN REACTION WHICH THE CAR BEHIND ME NEARLY HIT ME. I WAS SENT A NOTICE STATING IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND FORD WOULD FIX IT AT NO COST. WHEN I BRING IT IN THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF ITS BRANDED TITLE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL SO FORD WILL BE FORCED TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE SO THEY CAN STOP WEASELING THEIR WAY OUT OF REPAIRS THAT ENDANGER CUSTOMERS SAFETY.

THE CAR SLIPPED TO NEUTRAL WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. I WAS LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR I WOULD HAVE GOT REAR ENDED AND GET KILLED OR MAYBE THE OTHER DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

VEHICLE LOSES POWER TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING OUT, AND THEN SURGES FORWARD, SPINNING THE BACK TIRES. THIS HAPPENED ON A HILL, AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME! THE RPM'S REV WAY UP AND THE ENGINE WON'T SHIFT. THE CAR SHUDDERS AND JERKS AND WON'T GET GOING UPON TAKE OFF. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT AN INTERSECTION/STOP LIGHT, AND I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO BE REAR ENDED. THE CAR WILL NOT GET GOING WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED UPON ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, INCLUDING JACK DEMMER FORD (734-721-2600, LOCATED AT 37300 MICHIGAN AVE, WAYNE, MI 48184) WHERE THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE WAS REPROGRAMMED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF SHUDDERING WAS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000.

THIS CAR IS STALLING STALLING CONSTANTLY . IT JUST GETS WORSE AS TIME GOES BY . ONCE IT GETS GOING AT A GOOD SPEED ITS FINE . YET WHEN U TAKE OFF OR PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC IT STALLS AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY 2 MECHANICS AND THEY SAY ITS A PROBLEM WITH THOSE MODEL CARS AND THERE ARE RECALLS ON SOME .. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ITS RECALLED ON THIS CAR BECAUSE I AM VERY AFRAID OF GETTING KILLED BECAUSE OF THE STALLING .. PLEASE HELP BEFORE THIS HAPPENS

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS SE HATCHBACK HAS A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION THAT ADDS FOR A SPORTY FEEL AND BETTER GAS MILEAGE, THE DCT IS DRY CLUTCH AND THE GASKETS ARE TERIBBLE CUASING OIL TO GET INTO PARTS WHERE THEY SHOULDNT IN THE DCT CUASING THE TRANSMISSION TO STUTTER,LAG,AND BE UNDRIVEABLE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFTEY ISSUES THAT FORD KNEW. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A BACK ROAD.

THE CAR STARTED EXCESSIVELY JERKING WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH. THE CAR SELECTED THE WRONG GEAR AND COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE CAR HAD NEW CLUTCHES THAT ARE 7 MONTHS OLD. THE CAR DROVE HOME BUT WOULD NOT CRANK OR START AT ALL THE NEXT DAY. THERE WAS A RED ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASH. THE TCM AND THE CLUTCH PACK HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE CAR IS NOT FIXED. IT STILL RIVE THE SAME WAY.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 11, 2019 FROM OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BOWIE. A FEW DAYS AFTER, I STARTED NOTICING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, AND FUEL GAUGE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT FIXING THE FUEL TANK RECALL AND TRANSMISSION WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE VEHICLE WILL FIX THE ISSUES. I TOOK OFF A DAY FROM WORK AND TOOK TO OURISMAN FORD & LINCOLN IN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF WAITING, I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO DROP IT OFF ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE SOME PART(S) WILL BE ORDERED. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER, I DROPPED IT OFF AND IT STAYED FOR OVER 3 DAYS. I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. PERHAPS, JUST ABOUT 1000 MILES OF DRIVING IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR, I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE ALMOST SUDDEN STOP ON THE HIGHWAY...

MY TRANSMISSION STOPPED ENGAGING AS I WAS TURNING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT HOME AFTER A 150-MILE TRIP.I WAS IN MOTION. THE ENGINE RACED. I LET OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, THINKING IT MIGHT BE A SOFTWARE GLITCH. WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO PUSH THE CAR INTO THE SPACE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2014 FORD FOCUS, WHEN STOP AT A LIGHT AND BEGAN TO START GOING THE CAR STALLS OR OR IT STARTS TO SHAKE LIKE IF I WAS DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, WHY HASN'T THE RECALL THEY SAID THEY DID FIXED THE PROBLEM!!! THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" APPEARED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY OUT OF NOWHERE. CAR STARTED JERKING BAD AS I TOOK OFF. SLOWLY BUT GETTING WORSE TIL I HAD TO STOP. THEN DIDN'T WANNA CRANK BACK UP. STRANGE. SO WE HEAR A LOUD TICKING NOISE .. THIS IS WITH KEYS OUT OF THE CAR IGNITION.... I PUT KEYS IN , STILL NOTHING. EVENTUALLY IT CRANK BUT NO REVERSE. GOD HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

THERE HAD BEEN OVER 30 OCCURRENCES OF HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY SHIFT INTO THE RIGHT GEAR. I HAVE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED 5 TIMES BUT IT HAS NOT FIXED THE SHIFTING. I'VE RAN INTO ISSUES AT STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS OF ALMOST GETTING INTO ACCIDENTS BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T PROPERLY GO INTO THE GEAR OR SHIFT CORRECTLY. MORE RECENTLY, 3 MONTHS AGO; MY CAR TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT RUN BACK ON. WHEN TAKING IT INTO FORD THEY STATED THEY HAD NO REASON WHY THIS OCCURRED AND HAD NO EXPLANATION FOR ME.

SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR IN 2014 I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS. SENSORS. EVERYTIME GIVEN A DIFFERENT EXCUSE FOR THE SAME SHUTTER AND ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING. THIS LAST TIME THE CAR COMPLETELY HAULTED FROM GOING 45MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD, TRASMISSION LIGHT FLEW ON, RPMS WOULD REV UP, BUT CAR WOULD BARELY CREEP. I WAS ALMOST SLAMMED INTO FROM BEHIND BEFORE I COULD SAFETY MOVE TO THE SLOW LANE AND TRAVEL TO A SAFE STOPPING POINT. YES THE CAR WAS STILL ABKE TO NAVIGATE, BUT THAT DID NOT MATTER WHEN VEHICLES WERE COMING UP ON ME DRIVING 45+MPH TO MY VEHICLE THAT STALLED OUT. I CALLED FORD. IT TOOK DAYS TO GET THE CAR BACK AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING WORSE THAN EVER! TRANSMISSION IS CONSTANTLY SLIPPING. A NEW CONSTANT SHUTTER HAS NOW DEVELOPED. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES BEGIN TO MOVE FROM A STOP LIGHT,...

PURCHASED USED IN JUNE 2018. HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WON'T SHIFT INTO REVERSE AT ALL. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. WAS TOLD IT WAS A CLUTCH ISSUE AND WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS THAT FORD FAILED TO FIX.
