2015 FORD FOCUS Engine Problems

WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND BEGIN TO TAKE OFF MY CAR JERKS REALLY BAD LIKE MY GEARS ARE TRYING TO CATCH UP, IT SNATCHED SO BAD I WENT INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC IN THE RAIN. I HAVE HAD IT SENT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL DEALER AND IT WAS CLAIMED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED I DISAGREE STRONGLY.

HAD RECALL SERVICE DONE FOR FUEL TANK DEFORMATION ISSUE OR SO THE DEALERSHIPS SAYS. BUT AFTER I THE CAR BACK IT SEEMS TO BE RUNNING GREAT BUT 5 MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT STALLS ON ME AND FAILS TO CRANK WHEN IT DID IT WOULDNT CONTINUE TO RUN OR IDLE FOR LONG BEFORE STALLING AGAIN. AFTER 30 MO S OR SO OF PRIMING FUEL PUMP AND RETRYING AND LETTING SET. IT CRANKS UP AND RUNS FINE. RECALL NEEDS TO BE FURTHER RESEARCHED OR DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMING TO COMPLETE RECALL PROCEDURES AND NOT DOING SO.

I WAS DRIVING IN MORNING RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC, CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MIN, IT STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SAFE AREA BEFORE IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER.

WHEN I DRIVE FOR MORE THAT 20 MINUTES, MY CAR WILL START DYING WITHOUT WARNING. I CAN THEN PUT IT IN PARK AND START THE CAR, WHICH IT WILL THEN START UP AND I CAN DRIVE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MINUTE AND IT WILL DIE AGAIN. IT WILL DO THIS OVER AND OVER UNLESS I STOP DRIVING AND LET THE CAR 'REST' FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING A WEEK AFTER I HAD SOME RECALL WORK DONE ON THE CSV.

MY CAN USED TO GET 400 PLUS MILES WHEN THE HAS TANK IS FULL. NOW IT GETS LESS AND STUDY GET LESS WHEN I FILL UP. WHEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR SOUND LIKE AIR RUSHING IN AND THE RPM'S REV UP WAY TO HIGH. THIS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS. THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING THE FREEWAY, HIGHWAY, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS.

A BOUGHT A USED FORD CAR FROM TOYOTA, THE CAR UNKNOWINGLY HAD A RECALL ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SEEN 10 TIMES, UNDER WARRANTY, THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH HAS GONE OUT, FORD AND TOYOTA HAVE REFUSED TO BY BACK THE CAR. CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 31 DAYS AS OF NOW. AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RENTAL, FORD WILL NOT OPEN THE RECALL BACK OPEN. HENDRICKS WON'T LOOK AT THE CAR THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO FORD. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT EXELORATE PASS 40-55 MILES PER HOUR. THE RADIO, BLUETOOTH PORTS STOPPED WORKING. THE AUTO START AND STOP STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD COMPANY MORE THAN 10 TIMES WITH 6 CASE NUMBERS. THE LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING THE CAR I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COULD SMELL A BURNING ODER, THEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL...

WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, (AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR A SMALL DISTANCE) THE CAR JERKS AND JUMPS AND DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR NOT, BUT IT WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD IT IN TO A REPAIR SHOP YET AND I AM WONDERING IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BAD TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE PUT INTO THE FORD FOCUSES. THIS HAPPENS WEATHER I AM DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING. I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FORD BACK IN DECEMBER 2018 THAT STATED MY CAR WAS...

THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR MY CAR AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE FORD FOCUS/FIESTA DPS6 TRANSMISSION ISSUE. DUE TO THE DRY DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM ISSUE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE AND RUMBLE VIOLENTLY WHILE MOVING. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN THE SUPPOSEDLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE FIRST TIME I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH WHICH STOPPED THE RUMBLE ISSUE UNTIL FEW MONTHS LATER, THE RUMBLE RETURNED. AGAIN I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP HOWEVER THIS TIME THEY BLAMED IT ON THE PURGE VALVE IN THE GAS TANK WHICH THEY REPLACED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE RUMBLE ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT TRY TO VERIFY THE RUMBLE. THEY SIMPLY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT BY STATING THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, THE RUMBLE OCCURRED AGAIN BUT WORSE THAN BEFORE. IMMEDIATELY MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AS IF IT'S...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING PERSISTED FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY AGAIN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE PLACE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,300.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT SHUTTERS, AND SLIPS GEARS. I EXPERIENCE POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING, AND HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED TROUBLE TRYING TO GET IT TO SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (FIRST TIME CAR BUYER) AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, I WAS TOLD THESE ARE NORMAL, AND WOULD NOT BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN, BUT HAVE SINCE BECOME A HUGE CONCERN.

TAKATA RECALL, MY CAR JUST STARTS TO LOSE BREAK FLUID REAL QUICK AND NOW THE ENGINE HAS BEEN OVER HEATING FOR THE PAST COUPLE DAYS AND IT HAS STARTED OFF OF KNOW WHERE. I'VE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND IT HAS BEEN MESSING UP LATELY. IT'S A PRACTALLY BRAND NEW CAR WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE I'VE HAD IT FOR 7 MONTHS AND IT'S BEEN GIVING ME A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

CAR HESITATES AND DOES NOT SHIFT SMOOTHLY. TAKE OFFS ARE DANGEROUS BECAUSE CAR SHIFTS RADICALLY.

THE CAR SHUDDERED AND JERKED WHEN STOPPED AND ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. A METAL GRINDING CAN BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DURING THIS JERKING FROM ACCELERATION. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. ONE TIME, THE CAR STALLED, RESULTING IN LOSE OF POWER, WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR MANY TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION OF THESE SYMPTOMS.

MY TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY ANS EVERYONE THAT I KNOW THAT HAS THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF THE TRANS DOESNT SHIFT RIGHT.

CAR SPUTTERS, HESITATES, MAKES CLINKING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING. ENTIRE FRONT END INCLUDING STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND VEHICLE HESTITATES WHEN GIVEN GAS. WHEN STOPPED CAR RANDOMLY IDLES WITHOUT USING GAS PEDAL, EVEN COMPLETELY LOSES POWER AS IF OUT OF GAS REQUIRING CAR TO BE RESTARTED. ENGINE ALSO SHIFTS GEARS LATE IN RPM SEQUENCE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET THE ISSUE RELATED TO THE GAS CYCLINDER WHICH IS THE OPEN RECALL AND THESE PROBLEMS CONTINUE TO PERSIST. PROBLEM HAS PERSISNTED EVERY DAY SINCE DATE SELECTED WHIHC IS WHEN I PURCHASED VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL MY CARS TRANSMISSION LIGHT IS ON AND A MESSAGE CAME UP SAYING TRANSMISSION AT FAULT. ALSO WHEN I WOULD STOP COMPLETELY AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND MAKE A WEIRD NOISE. I'VE BEEN HAVE TROUBLE TURNING IT ON, I WOULD HAVE TO JUMP START IT EVERY NOW AND THEN.

18S32 MANUFACTURER RECALL & 18V735 NHTSA RECALL. THIS RECALL WAS FIRST POSTED APPROXIMATELY 8.5 MONTHS AGO AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT BRINGING IT IN FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I HAVE A CHILD I TRANSPORT IN IT DAILY. I WANT AND NEED THIS RECALL RESOLVED ASAP AS I WILL SOON BE TRANSPORTING ANOTHER YOUNG CHILD. I CAN FEEL IT ACTING FUNNY AS IF SOMETHING ISN'T MOVING PROPERLY OR IT IS STALLING LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING FUEL WHEN I AM MOVING WHETHER IT'S SLOW FAST, SHORT DISTANCE OR LONG DISTANCE AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO

I PREVIOUSLY MAILED SOME INFORMATION IN ABOUT THE POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION ERROR, THE FOLLOWING IS AN INTERACTION WITH FORD IN 2017 ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THIS CONCERN: "[email protected] TUES 8/1/2017 8:20 PM NAME[XXX] FIRSTNAME[XXX] LASTNAME[XXX] VIN[XXX] ZIP CODE63101 EMAIL[XXX] A FORD REPRESENTATIVE WILL BE WITH YOU SHORTLY.

BOUGHT FORD FOCUS 2015 ON 02/25/2019 AT DRIVE TIME. DURING THE PROCESS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE STALLING BUT THE ISSUE DIDN'T INVOLVE ANY FURTHER ACTION. IT ONLY TOOK ME 3 WEEKS TO START HAVING ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING OR AT STOP LINE WITHOUT ANY CAUTION WARNING. ALSO HAVE ENGINE CAUTION ON THE DASHBOARD ON 04/24/2019.

CAR CONSTANTLY HAS ISSUES STUTTERING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT CAUSES SHAKING IN THE CAR AND ONLY LIGHTLY LESSENS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS OVER HALFWAY FULL AND/OR HAS A RECENT OIL CHANGE. ALREADY HAD A FEW PARTS REPLACED CONCERNING THE CPV BECAUSE THE GAS PEDAL CEASED FUNCTIONING WHILST DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I'VE GOTTEN THE RECALL NOTICE LETTER BUT NO FULL SOLUTION HAS BEEN OFFERED YET.

I TOOK MY CAR TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART TO REPLACE IT, BUT THEY TOOK MY CAR IN, ONCE I GOT MY CAR THE VERY SAME DAY BACK. IT DID IT AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING. I HAVE TRIED FUEL CLEANERS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT STILL PERSISTS, IT STALLED ON ME WHILE DRIVING ON THIS PAST MONDAY, AND NOW WHEN I TRY TO SEARCH FOR THE RECALL FOR INFORMATION IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS TAKEN OFF FROM THEIR WEBSITE. THE ISSUE IS NOT FIXED AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART? AS A CONSUMER WHAT CAN WE DO TO FIX A DEFECT...
