2017 FORD FOCUS Engine Problems

ENGINE TIMING CHAIN COVER IS SEEPING OIL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 130,600 MILES. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PER THE FORD MAINTENANCE MANUAL AND HAS NEVER MISSED A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE EVENT.

I PURCHASED MY FORD FOCUS MAY 2017 AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH ONLY 12 MILES ON IT. IN TWO YEARS, I BEGAN TO FEEL A SHUDDER WHENEVER I STARTED TO DRIVE FROM A STOP. THE SHUDDER WAS ON AND OFF FOR A MONTH AND INCREASINGLY GOT WORSE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO FORD, JULY 2019. THEY STATED THAT MY CLUTCH WENT BAD AND I NEEDED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I WAS SURPRISED IT WAS ALREADY HAVING SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STAFF NOTIFIED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH FORD FOCUS'S. A YEAR IN A HALF LATER, I BEGAN TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND SYMPTOMS AGAIN. I CALLED FORD TO NOTIFY THEM IN DECEMBER 2020, HE STATED IT MAY BE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I...

CAR SHUT OFF IN THE FREEWAY, SHUTTERS AND SHAKES WHEN TURNED ON AND RPM GOES UP TO 4,000 TO ACCELERATE. I CALLED MULTIPLE PLACES AND TALKED TO MULTIPLE FORD REPRESENTATIVES THAT WONT HELP ME AND OBVIOUSLY MY CAR IS A DANGER TO THE ROAD AND MYSELF. THEYRE MAKING ME PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A FORD PROBLEM.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JANUARY 9TH 2021. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS THE HEAD GASKET RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ALREADY. I COULDN'T HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT AS I WAS 3 HOURS EACH WAY FROM HOME AND HAD TO MEET THE DEALER AT 9 PM. I DROVE THE CAR AND ALL SEEMED GOOD. ON THE 3 HR DRIVE HOME I NOTICED OIL PRESSURE WAY GOING BACK AND FORTH AND THE CAR DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE THE POWER IT DID 1 HR BEFORE, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST IN MY HEAD. SO MONDAY I PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT AT WORK AND SEEN THEIR WAS OIL COMING FROM THE HEADGASKET AREA AGAIN. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL PAPERWORK FROM WHEN IT WAS DONE AT A DEALER BUT IT ALSO IS KNOWN THAT THE EARLY RECALLS THAT WERE DONE DID NOT USE THE CORRECT GASKET EVEN FOR THE RECALL. I AM ASKING...

I BOUGHT MY 2017 FORD FOCUS SE WITH 8 MILES ON IT WHEN IT GOT ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON IT MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHUTTER. BROUGHT IT TO 3 DIFFERENT FORD DEALERSHIPS TO BE TOLD NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ABOUT 20,000 MILES I NOTICE THE SHUTTER BECOMING WORST AND WORST TO BE TOLD ONCE AGAIN NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. NOW MY CAR IS AT 50,000 AND ANYTIME IT'S UNDER THE HALF WAY MARK WITH GAS THE SHUTTER BECOME MORE INTENSE. STILL FORD WANTS TO TELL ME THERE IS NO PROBLEMS

THE CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS. THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. THEN COMING TO A STOP THE CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO STILL GO AND STOPS VERY HARD WHEN IT WANTS TO. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT AS DONE THIS WITHIN MONTHS. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS AND THERE ARE MANY MORE SAYING THE SAME THING.

I'VE FILLED OUT A COMPLAINT BUT NEEDED TO UPDATE IT. NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT SO I JUST FILLED OUT ANOTHER. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE A BAD TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH STUTTERING FROM MY CAR FOR A WHILE. I JUST GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT IN 2019 THEY REALIZED THEY INSTALLED IMPROPER THINGS INTO THE CAR OR SOMETHING. THIS IS RIDICULOUS HONESTLY. I PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR BRO AND NOW WHAT. I HAVE TO GET RID OF IT?

THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE CAR EVERY TIME I PUT GAS NOW, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT EMPTY IT STARTS TO SHAKE AND THEN TURNS OFF AS IF IT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE IT WAS JUST FUELED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON AND I WAS TOLD AT PEP BOYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS VALVE. ALSO, THE GAS METER IS WRONG, I COULD BE AT 25 MILES TO EMPTY AND DRIVE FOR LESS THAN A MILE AND THE COUNTER GOES DOWN AT LEAST 3 MILES LESS, THERE WAS A TIME THE CAR SAID I HAD 8 MILES TO EMPTY AND IT LITERALLY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON UNTIL GENEROUS PASSERBY'S HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION ABOUT 5 BLOCKS AWAY

ON 11/02/2020 I STARTED MY CAR, WARMED IT UP AND THEN STARTED DRIVING. I NOTICED THAT THE CAR SHOOK AND PULLED WHEN SWITCHING GEARS FROM 1ST TO SECOND AND SEEMED TO WANT TO STALL. ALSO, WHEN BREAKING THE CAR WANTED TO KEEP ACCELERATING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENS IN A MATTER OF A YEAR.

ENGINE LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AND SHUT DOWN

I WAS DRIVING ON I95 AROUND 330PM WHEN MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON, AND I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE STARTED TO LOOSE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO THE EXIT WHEN ANOTHER PROMPT CAME UP AND STATED SERVICE ENGINE SOON. WHEN I GOT TO THE LIGHT I WAS ABLE TO STOP TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT IT WAS A RUFF START THE SAME PROMPTS CAME ON ALONG WITH A NEW ONE IT WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL NOT GETTING MUCH POWER THE CAR MOVED FOR ANOTHER FEW MILES AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY, AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC SHOP. I WAS TOLD THE THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN IT IS 2017 VEHICLE WITH 94000 MILES AND I REGULARLY HAD IT SERVED AT...

WHILE GOING FROM A STOP TO ACCELERATING, MY VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND WILL ATTEMPT TO STALL. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR ALMOST CAUSE MULTIPLE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND EVERY TIME I TAKE IT THE DEALERSHIP (5 TIMES) THEY TELL ME ITS THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY CLUTCH. THEY SAY THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX FOR IT. I HAVE MYSELF AND 2 VERY YOUNG CHILDREN TO WORRY ABOUT WHILE DRIVING, NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT ANY STEADY SPEED, THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY REV UP SOMETIMES GOING FROM 2000 RPMS TO OVER 4000 RPMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN NEUTRAL AND PUSHED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME CLOSELY. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY ARRANGED A TOW TO THE DEALER (UPTOWN FORD LINCOLN 2111 N MAYFAIR RD, MILWAUKEE, WI 53226 (414) 771-9000) BUT THEY REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIR THAT HAD TO DO WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V515000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD A MINOR CRASH SIX MONTHS EARLIER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CRASH WAS THE CONTACT'S FAULT AND THE REASON THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE MALFUNCTIONED. THE MANUFACTURER CALLED BACK TO DENY THE CONTACT'S CLAIM. THE MANUFACTURER RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO STATED...

WHEN ACCELERATING, TYPICALLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AT ABOUT 20K MILES AND I'M TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP "SOME SHUDDERING IS TO BE EXPECTED & CANNOT BE REPAIRED". I DISAGREE. THIS IS NOT TO BE EXPECTED AS NO OTHER VEHICLE I'VE OWNED DID THIS UNLESS THERE WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM.

USER HAD A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS BEFORE HEADING HOME. SHORTLY AFTER, USER STARTED THE CAR AND IT STALLED. USER DID NOT THINK MUCH OF IT. USER SHUT IT DOWN AND TURNED KEY TO THE "ON" POSITION AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE CAR TURNED OVER AND WORKED. SHORTLY AFTER, USER WAS DRIVING CAR DOWN THE ROAD TOWARDS HIS HOUSE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONICS SCREEN WERE ON, BUT EVERYTHING ELSE GLITCHED AND NOTHING REALLY WORKED, THE CAR TORQUE STEERED THE USER INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. USER HAD TO USE E-BRAKE TO PROPERLY SLOW DOWN AND PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TURN KEY ALL THE WAY OFF INTO THE "OFF" POSITION. USER WAITED 5 MINUTES TO ENSURE ALL SYSTEMS WERE SHUT DOWN, AND STARTED CAR BACK UP AGAIN TO SAFELY DRIVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. USER HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY...

1) BATTERY WAS REPLACED. CORROSION SURROUNDING BATTERY & ALL PARTS OF BATTERY. TOOK THE CAR TO INSPECTION <2 MONTHS LATER AND CORROSION WAS JUST AS BAD. 2) HAVE TAKEN CARE IN EVERY 2-4 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASING NEW IN 2018. UPON ACCELERATION AND TURNING, CAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS. EACH TIME IT IS TAKEN IN, THERE IS NOTHING DONE BECAUSE "IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THERE'S NO FIX."

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON A CITY STREET AROUND 7:30 AM ON MY WAY TO WORK AND WHEN I GOT HOME MY HUSBAND CHECK THE CODE WAS P144A FOR A EVAP PURGE VALVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A RECALL JUST NOT FOR MY VEHICLE.

WHILE COMING DOWN A HILL MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE BEGAN TO BIG DOWN AS IF TO STALL. MY ENGINE OIL LIGHT CAME ON, I PULLED INTO A LOCAL OIL SERVICE STATION TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE OIL, (PREVIOUS SERVICE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH PRIOR AND IT HAD ONLY BEEN APPROXIMATELY 1200 MILES SINCE LAST SERVICE). THEY SAID THAT THE OIL WAS FINE BUT I HAD THEM CHANGE THE OIL AGAIN JUST TO BE SURE. THE OIL LIGHT REFUSED TO GO OUT. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BECAME UNSAFE AND COULD NOT BE DRIVE ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE STATION. AFTER A WEEK AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER HOLDING OIL PRESSURE AND THAT VARIOUS COMPONENTS INSIDE THE ENGINE HAD NOW STARTED THROWING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMANT ME IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $7700 TO...

I WAS COMING OFF FREEWAY AND GETTING ONTO ANOTHER FREEWAY WHEN, AS I WAS SPEEDING UP TO MERGE, MY CAR BOGGED DOWN AS IF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND SAW MY OIL LIGHT HAD COME ON. SO I PULLED OVER TO AN EXIT WITHIN 30 YDS. AND PULLED ONTO A STREET ABOUT ANOTHER 30 YDS. AWAY. I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT A FEW MINUTES THEN CHECKED OIL. WHEN I DID, THE OIL SHOWED FULL. I THEN CALLED THE FORD DEALER I TAKE MY CAR TO FOR OIL CHANGES AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE GUY AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED. HE WAS PUZZLED AND ASKED A FEW QUESTIONS AND THEN WE TRIED TO RESET THE OIL LIGHT. AFTER DOING THE RESET THE OIL LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AND IT STARTED FINE. NO ABNORMAL SOUNDS COMING FROM THE...

ON OUR WAY BACK FROM FLORIDA I SMELT BURNING COOLANT I LOOKED AND IT WAS LOW SO I FILLED IT UP AS WE WERE DOWN THE STREET FROM OUR HOUSE THE SMELL GOT WORSE I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR SHOOK, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING THEN CAME ON AND I LOST STEERING CONTROL AND POWER I PULLED OVER SAFELY AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT START. I POPPED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS COOLANT ALL OVER THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION. 2 HR LATER THE VEHICLE STILL WON'T EVEN TURN OVER.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN WHEN THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO GO FORWARD, THE RPMS JUST IDLED AS THE ENGINE REVVED BUT I COULDN'T DRIVE FORWARD, THEN THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD, AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. AFTER IT JUMPED FORWARD IT BEGAN MAKING A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE AND LOST CONTROL, ALMOST DRIVING STRAIGHT INTO ANOTHER CAR. I THEN PROCEEDED TO PULL OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR, THEN IT MADE THESE LOUD CLICKING NOISES AND THE EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION LIGHT FLASHED RED AND SAID 'TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING, STOP AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE.' I LEFT THE CAR SIT FOR 2 AM HOUR, THEN WENT TO TURN IT ON AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT ONLY MADE THE TICKING NOISE AGAIN. AFTER TRYING TO START IT 3 TIMES, IT FINALLY TURNED ON, BUT CONTINUED TO GET STUCK AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GENE LATTA FORD INC 1565 CARLISLE ST, HANOVER, PA 17331 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THE A SOLENOID NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE (IN A JERKING, FORWARD AND BACK MOTION), AND STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE. IT WOULD MAKE THIS NOISE, LIKE GEARS GRINDING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH. FOR ABOUT A WEEK, IT WAS FINE. THEN IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN. IT WILL JERK BACK AND FORTH WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP (AT A STOPLIGHT FOR EXAMPLE). RECENTLY, I HAVE BEEN LOSING GAS VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY PAST 4RPMS JUST TO GET FROM 0-20MPH. I'M NOT SURE IF THE WARRANTY IS STILL ON IT, BUT IT ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ONLY MADE ONE VERY BIG TRIP WITH IT, TO KANSAS AND BACK TO VIRGINIA. IT DOES THIS OFF AND ON EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE IT. I HAVE TO...

OUR CAR WAS LOOKED AT JULY 2019 AND THE RECALL WAS NOT FIXED BUT THEY KNEW ABOUT IT FROM YOUR RECORDS. AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE ON ACCELERATING SPITTING AND SPUTTERING AND TODAY ME AND MY FAMILY WERE OUT SHOPPING AND WE WERE DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT GO THE GAS WAS NOT WORKING WE COULDNT MOVE AND WE TURNED IT OFF AND STARTING DRIVING AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT WASNT ON BEFORE THIS. I AM VERY MAD THAT THIS RECALL WAS OVER LOOKED BECAUSE MY FAMILYS LIFE COULDNT HAD BEEN TAKEN IF THIS HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY OR INTERSTATE. SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP JOHNSON CITY FORD, TN 37602 AND THEY WERE CLOSED TODAY BUT TOMORROW I AM GOING TO CONFRONT THEM ABOUT THIS AND...

CAR ALMOST STALLS FROM STOP TO GO IN FIRST GEAR. AND THE ENGINE RATTLES WHEN COMING TO A STOP.

THERE WAS A RECALL 18S32 CAMPAIGN FUEL TANK DEFORMATION ISSUED LATE 2018. THE PCM SYSTEM WAS NOT ADEQUATELY DETECTING A STUCK OPEN CANISTER PURGE VALUE. ON AUGUST 24TH, 2019 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GET THE RECALL REPAIR DUE TO STALLING WITHOUT NOTICE AND DANGEROUS IN DRIVABILITY CONCERNS. ON AUGUST 25TH, THE FOLLOWING DAY, I HAD THE VERY SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. I TOOK IT TO PEPBOYS TO DIAGNOSE, AND THE SAME CODES WERE POPULATING FOR THE RECALL. PEPBOYS ADVISED TO TAKE IT BACK TO A DEALER. I THEN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER FORD DEALERSHIP ON OCTOBER 22ND FOR A SECOND OPINION, AND THEY STATED THAT THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS STICKING. ON OCTOBER 24TH, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED BACK TO ME AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS SAME SYMPTOMS. ON NOV 5TH, 2019, I WAS ADVISED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS REPLACED AFTER THE PARTS WERE ON BO FOR 2-3...

SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR. I NOTICED ORIGINALLY LAST OF POWER DURING ACCELERATION AND LATER IT WOULD DO A COMBINATION OF LAST OF POWER AT TIMES AND LUNGING WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT GEARS(AUTOMATICALLY). EVENTUALLY, FRONTIER FORD(DEALERSHIP) REPLACED THE CLUTCH N A FEW OTHER MINOR ITEMS RELATED TO THE CLUTCH. THE PROBLEMS THE SAME ISSUES CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I FINALLY FILED A COMPLAIN WITH THE BBB, IT APPEARS THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY NEVER RETURNED THEIR CALLS OR EMAILS AND THAT CASE WAS CLOSED. NEXT I CONTACTED THE SJ BUREAU OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. THEIR DETERMINATION WAS THAT FORD FIESTAS AND FOCUS MODELS WERE NOTORIOUS FOR SERIOUS TRASMITION PROBLEMS. IT IMPLIED THAT IT WAS A FEATURE NOT A BUG BECAUSE EVENTHOUGH THE SJ BAR KNEW OF THESE SERIOUS ISSUES THEY TOOK NO ACTION. I STARTED NOT DRIVING THE CAR AS MUCH LOOKING INTO HOW I COULD GET THE MANUFACTURER TO BUY...

WHILE I'M DRIVING ON FREEWAY OR REGULAR HIGHWAY THE CAR JUST DIES OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON ALMOST GOT INTO A BAD WRECK BECAUSE OF IT HAD TO COAST IT OFF THE ROAD OUT OF WAY FROM TRAFFIC SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT IT'S DONE THIS MORE THEN ONCE TOOK IT IN AND THEY RESET THE COMPUTER IT WAS OK FOR 2 DAYS THEN DID THE EXACT SAME THING JUST DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE WHOLE CAR TURNED OFF SO HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND THEN START TOOK A FEW TIMES TO START THEN FINALLY STARTED AND LEFT BUT THIS KEEPS HAPPENING DEFINITELY NOT GOOD FOR VEHICLE THAT ONLY HAS 44 THOUSAND MILES ON IT .

WHEN I'M DRIVING MY CAR IT DOESN'T MATTER THE SPEED I USED TO THINK IT ONLY HAPPENED IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BUT IT HAPPENED ON MY WAY HOME A DAY AND I WAS GOING 35-40 MPH. BASICALLY WHILE DRIVING MY CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESS THE GAS IT DOESN'T CHANGE GEARS/ SPEED UP. WHEN THIS TENDS TO HAPPEN THE ENGINE FAULT LIGHT WILL COME ON. BY THE TIME I GET TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THEY SAY NOTHING READS ON THE DIAGNOSTIC SO BASICALLY WHATEVER REASON THE LIGHT COMES ON FOR DOESN'T STAY IN THE SYSTEM SO THAT THEY CAN SEE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FIVE TIMES WITHIN THE PAST TWO MONTHS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR BRAND NEW. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SHUDDERING AT AN INCREASING RATE. THE CAR IS SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED AND OFTEN JERKS AS IT TRIES TO INCREASE SPEED BY SMALL INCREMENTS, SUCH AS 5MPH. WHEN I DO TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR EXPENDS A TON OF EFFORT, THE RPM SHOOTS UP, THE CAR SHUDDERS AND SHAKES. AS THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE INCREASING, MY CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY IS ALSO INCREASING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO MERGE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AS MY CARS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE IS ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE. THIS IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF A SAFETY RISK. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS CREATE A SAFETY RISK FOR WHEN I AM DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEMS ARE STILL PRESENT ON CITY ROADS BECAUSE MY CAR IS UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE EVERCHANGING SPEED LIMITS IN MY TOWN. THIS PROBLEM...

2017 FORD FOCUS TITANIUM. DALLAS, TX. ENGINE MISSES WHEN ACCELERATING. WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 2 LANE FARM TO MARKET ROAD WHICH I DRIVE TWICE A DAY AT THE LEAST- THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND IT WAS AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T WORKING. AND OF COURSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO GET ELECTRONICALLY DIAGNOSED AND IT IS A VALVE FOR THE GAS. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICES VIA MAIL. I NEED THIS TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE TIME FOR THE INSPECTION IN A MONTH. HOW DO I GO ABOUT SEEING IF THIS IS IN FACT A RECALL AND GET IT FIXED ASAP??

I CAME CLOSE TO A CAR REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE AS MY ENGINE STARTED AUTOMATIC SLOWING SPEED. THIS ISSUE COMES AND GOES. I'VE BEEN READING THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE SO I CAN TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO GET THIS ENGINE FIXED.

THE CONTACT MANAGED TO VEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER; HOWEVER CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) WAS A POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED.

I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR A MONTH AS OF TODAY! I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON

MY VEHICLE ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ITS OWN AND THE VEHICLE INDICATORS SHOWED THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. THIS WAS AFTER LESS THAN 10 MINUTES ON THE FREEWAY GOING 55 MPH. THIS VEHICLE HAS A SOFTWARE RELATED RECALL FOR IT AS WELL CURRENTLY. I TOWED THE VEHICLE TO AUTONATION FORD OF MIAMI TO BE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL AND FOR THE ENGINE TROUBLE(IT ONLY HAS 26,000 MILES) AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO LOOK AT THE VEHICLE TO EVEN OFFER A DIAGNOSIS FOR AT LEAST 2-3 DAYS. THEY DID NOT OFFER A LOANER VEHICLE OR ANY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION IN THE INTERIM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR, ESPECIALLY FOR A VEHICLE UNDER RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE AT THIS DEALERSHIP WITH MY TWO FORD VEHICLES.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, 4 DAYS AFTER HAVING THE 2ND CLUTCH REPLACEMENT AT 30,000 MILES, IT WAS ON A STREET NOT HIGHWAY, THE CARS ELECTRONIC DASH DISPLAYED "TRANSMISSION FAULT FIX NOW". THE CAR THEN SLOWED DOWN A BIT LOSING POWER, THEN SEVERAL OTHER SIGNALS APPEARED ON SCREEN, BRAKES AND A FEW OTHERS, THEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND POWER WENT OUT.

MONDAY AFTERNOON, AFTER THEY HAD TIME TO LOOK AT VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A CALL TELLING ME THAT THE "ALTERNATOR " WAS FAULTY AND THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WHEN THEY HAD THE REPLACEMENT WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE THE NEXT DAY. THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS MY WIFE HAD BEEN 110 MILES AWAY AND HAD DROVE HOME SATURDAY JULY 27. IF THAT HAD LET...

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE JLR DEALER FOR THIS ISSUE AND A DEALER PERSON WENT WITH ME FOR A RIDE AND AGREES THAT THE FUMES WERE INSIDE THE VEHICLE COMING THRU THE AC VENTS. THIS WAS REPORTED TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR, IT WAS CHECKED AND ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE ISSUE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. WHAT AN ANSWER. I'LL UPLOAD THE REPAIR RECEIPT.

NOW AT 15,000 THE TRANSMISSION ACTING UP AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION REVS HIGH BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS. IT SLUGGISH WHEN MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. EVEN WHEN NEEDING THAT LITTLE BIT EXTRA POWER GOING UP A HILL, IT BOGS DOWN AND I HAVE TO MOVE OVER IN LANES MAKE SURE NO ONE BEHIND ME GETS STUCK. I'M ALREADY THINKING ABOUT TAKING MY CAR BACK IN AGAIN BEFORE MY 30,000 MILE WARRANTY HITS TO TRY AND GET IT REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION IS UNRELIABLE AND NOT EFFECTIVE. I WISH I...
