The transmission fault, service immediately message appeared on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not provide any assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.

Transmission keeps failing on the car and it is currently in a ford dealership as they are refusing to acknowledge that there's a recall on it and that it should be covered. This is the 2nd or third time time that I had issues with the transmission itself not including other constant issues with the car itself.

Vehicle was left with Midwest Superstore in Hutchinson, Kansas July 2020 for multiple fuel related and transmission related problems. Dealer replaced purge valve (recall), did not inspect fuel tank. Also a transmission test was done and all above failure levels. Picked up the car with a dead battery, broken fuel gauge, and still stalled regularly with less than half tank fuel. Did not have spare vehicle, dealt with for entire year. Transmission frequently shutters or locks up. Vehicle frequently stalls in traffic or after fuel addition. Finally was able to get it back to dealer (a year later). They note that indeed the fuel tank is crushed (purge valve recall) and will require a tank and pump assembly. Dealership states that Ford will not honor replacement of these components even though the recall was never adequately performed the previous year. The only thing that can make the fuel tank crush...

Vehicle overheated while driving. Took it to dealership and advised cause is transmission. Advised by dealership manufacturer was aware of problem and still put it on market for sale.

I was noticing hesitation on my way to work when the traffic light turned green, I'd press the gas pedal and the car wouldn't move. I'd give it more gas then it would jerk into moving forward. While accelerating as the car would automatically switch gears the car would hesitate as if it weren't taking fuel then jerk into gear to keep moving normally. Once at work I was able to park the car and look at the engine and noticed nothing out of the ordinary. At about noon that day I got into the car to leave for lunch only to realize that I could no longer go into reverse. I would move the shifter from park to reverse then press the gas pedal to begin moving only to seem like I'm still stuck in park. I was able to put the car in Drive however I was in...

STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2020, EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY 2014 FORD FOCUS FROM THE FORD DEALERSHIP, MY CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE OCCASIONALLY. ALTHOUGH I WAS CONCERNED, I DID NOT WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT ONLY DID IT ONCE IN A WHILE. FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, THE VIBRATIONS KEPT GETTING WORSE. NOW INSTEAD OF EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT WOULD HAPPEN EVERY-TIME I ACCELERATED AFTER A RIGHT HAND TURN. THIS WAS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THERE WAS MORE PEOPLE IN THE CAR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS A SHUDDER. EVEN THOUGH IT IS COMMON FOR THESE CARS, IT IS NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO DRIVE WITH EVERYDAY, THAT BEING SAID, I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, RAY PRICE FORD IN MOUNT POCONO, PA ASKING IF THEY CAN FIX MY CLUTCH BEING THAT IT'S UNDER WARRANTY. THEY STATED THAT WAS...

THE 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE VEHICLES I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. FROM THE CONSTANT SHUDDERING AND HESITATING TO THE CONSISTENT REPAIRS THIS CAR HAS TO HAVE. I WAS MERGING ONTO 380 IN MONROE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA FROM THE TANNERSVILLE EXIT WHEN MY CAR HESITATED TO SPEED UP. I WAS GOING 40 WHEN I WAS TRYING TO SPEED UP TO AT LEAST 60, I HELD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND MY CAR DID NOT PICK UP SPEED, IT DIDN'T GAIN SPEED, IT ACTUALLY DROPPED DOWN TO 35MPH. AFTER ABOUT 20 SECONDS MY CAR THEN PICKED UP SPEED AND I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GO 60MPH +. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE IN, ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CLUTCHES DO NOT LAST LONG AND CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE REPAIRED, FORD EXTENDED WARRANTY IS A JOKE, I HAVE A 2014 AND EVEN THOUGH...

TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER

SINCE I PURCHASED MY DAUGHTER A USED CERTIFIED FORD FOCUS FROM THE DEALERSHIP I'VE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SHIFTING PROPERLY. THE WORST CASE IS WHEN AT HIGH SPEED (60 MPH OR MORE) THE CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN GOES INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR CAUSING A TREMENDOUS JERK THAT ALMOST CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. JUST YESTERDAY (14MAR21) I WAS DRIVING THRU A CONSTRUCTION ZONE ON I10 THRU THE TOWN OF BENSON ARIZONA AT A SPEED OF 60 MPH WHEN THE TREMENDOUS JERK HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE RPM SHOOTING UP TO 6,000 ON MY TACHOMETER FOR 5 TO 7 SECONDS. THE NORMAL RPM AT A STEADY SPEED OF 60 SHOULD BE 2,200 RPM. THE TRACTOR TRAILER RIG DRIVING BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO MY FORD FOCUS, BUT LUCKILY THE DRIVER HAD HIS EYES ON WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AT THE NEXT...

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP BADLY, EVEN TOTALLY DISENGAGE. I WAS GETTING ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AND ACCELERATED AND SUDDENLY THE CAR DECELERATED; THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME, HONKED HIS HORN, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO. IT SLIPPED NOT AS BADLY LAST YEAR AND FORD FIXED IT, SAYING IT WAS UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, BUT NOW THEY SAY IT IS NOT COVERED AND WILL COST $2200 TO FIX. THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES ON THE INTERNET TALKING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. IT IS DANGEROUS!

THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE SHUTTERS, SLIPS, LOSES POWER OR LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP, OR ACCELERATING IN SPEED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THIS HAPPENS FROM A DEAD STOP, WHEN ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC TO MERGE, CHANGE LANES OR PASS A CAR; PRETTY MUCH ANYTIME THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED THE CAR WILL LURCH AND/OR SHUDDER AND/OR LOSE POWER, RESULTING IN MANY NEAR MISSES AND ALMOST ACCIDENTS IN THE TIME THAT WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED USED MID-2015. BY NOVEMBER 2015 THE FIRST REPLACEMENT OF THE CLUTCHES WAS DONE. IN MARCH OF 2018, JUST A FEW MONTHS OUT OF THE TWO-YEAR WARRANTY, THE CLUTCHES NEEDED REPLACING AGAIN. IT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR US, SO WE OPTED TO HAVE THE SOFTWARE FLASHED INSTEAD. UNDER THE EXTENDED PARTS COVERAGE OFFERED BY FORD, THE CLUTCHES WERE REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME IN DECEMBER OF 2019. BY JANUARY 2021...

I CHANGED THE BATTERY AFTER I LEFT THE CAR SITTING IN MY GARAGE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I TRIED TO DRIVE IT AFTER AND IT SHOOK AND JIGGLED, IT STUTTERED AND NEARLY HALTED COMPLETELY. I BARELY MADE IT HOME, ONLY 10 MINUTES AWAY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO THE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE VALLEY PICKED IT UP BECAUSE I WAS TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT IS "FIXED" BUT WITH THE LIST OF ISSUES AND THE AMOUNT THAT NEEDED FIXED HAS MADE ME NERVOUS ABOUT DIVIN G IT.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING AND LOCKED UP IN TRAFFIC I HAD TO CYCLE THE IGNITION KEY TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE 2 FIELD SERVICE ACTIONS FOR MY VEHICLE HOWEVER FORD WON'T REPAIR MY ISSUE DUE TO THE VEHICLE HAVING A BRANDED TITLE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST TRANSMISSION DUE TO A CYCLING INSIDE TRANSMISSION WHICH ENDED UP BUSTING TRANSMISSION CASE.

NHTSA RECALL 18V-735 AND CODE P0606 INDICATES A FAULT IN THE ECM/PCM /P06B8 INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE TRANSACTION.

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.

THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED BECAUSE IT SHUDDERS, JERKS AND HESITATES EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIX THE RECALL OR WARRANTY ISSUE BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC WASN'T SHOWING ANY PROBLEMS. THE CAR HAS CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME BUT NOW I'M TOLD THIS IS THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE MILEAGE IS AT 119,000 MILES AND IT EXCEEDED THE 100,000 MILES FOR THE WARRANTY. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP IT WAS UNDER 100,000. I THINK I'M BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE FORD NEW OF THESE PROBLEMS AND I DON'T BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A TIME OR MILEAGE LIMIT. THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF EXCELERATING, IT JERKS WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO PULL OFF AND SHUDDERS WHILE IN MOTION.

ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED. VEHICLE WILL "STALL" WHILE IN MOTION OR WHILE POWERED ON BUT STOPPED AT A LIGHT FOR EXAMPLE. IT'S AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE SO THE CAUSE OF THE STALL IS UNCLEAR. VEHICLE WILL BE INOPERABLE FOR 1-10 MINUTES, INCLUDING POWER STEERING WHILE THE SYSTEM RESETS. THIS HAPPENS USUALLY AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHILE STOPPED - IN REVERSE, CLIMBING HILLS, STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" IN OCTOBER 2019 AND WE WERE TOLD THAT SOMETHING DOING WHILE ADDRESSING ONE OF THE ELECTRICAL RECALLS HAD CAUSED THE PROBLEM. NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN AND FORD CAN'T TELL US WHY. WE'VE BEEN STRANDED PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY IN THE PATH OF ON COMING TRAFFIC, BLOCKING ONE LANE ROADS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND AT INTERSECTIONS.

I HAVE A FORD FOCUS 2014.3RECALLS.1ST RECALL TRANSMITION,FOR THE LONGEST TIME FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT FIX.FINALLY I CONTACTED THE NHTSA THEN TOLD FORD WHAT I DID THEY FINALLY FIXED IT BUT I DON'T THINK THEY DID A GOOD JOB. 2ND RECALL FUEL SYSTEM,I RECEIVED A RECALL ABOUT CPV THAT MIGHT STICK OPEN.THAT WOULD CAUSE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON,INACCURATE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE, INACCURATE DISTANCE TO EMPTY, ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING THAT COULD CAUSE A CRASH. 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 !!!
