FORD SAYS IT'S HOW THEIR TRANSMISSIONS WORK BUT IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE MANY WRECKS. NOW THAT I AM PAST THEIR 'WARRANTY' PERIOD THEY WON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME EVEN WITH THE SAME ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR.

FOR OVER A YEAR OR SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY CAR SHUTTING OFF WHEN I'M LOW ON GAS. IT HAS STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, STRANDED ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND REFUSED TO START AT SERVICE STATIONS WHEN I'VE STOPPED TO GET GAS. I TOOK MY CAR TO JOE MYERS FORD IN AUGUST OR SEPTEMBER, 2019 BUT I COULDN'T LEAVE IT WHEN I PULLED AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP IT STOPPED ON THE FEEDER STREET OF THE FRWY. AND WOULD NOT START. I WAS STRANDED THERE FOR OVER 2 HOURS BEFORE THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. A FEW DAYS LATER I HAD IT TOWED TO JOE MYERS FORD. THEY COULDN'T GET TO IT FOR A MONTH OR LONGER SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOME. LATER IT WAS TOWED FROM MY HOME TO STERLING MCCALL FORD. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND IT STILL WOULD SHUT OFF WHEN I STOPPED OR SLOWED DOWN IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. IT WOULD JUST SHUT OFF. WHILE I'M DRIVING IT STARTS TO SPUTTER THEN CUT OFF BUT IT WON'T START FOR AWHILE AFTER THAT. THIS IS FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IT IS STILL HAPPENING OFF AND ON NOW FOR OVER A YEAR. I HAVE A 2 YEAR CHILD AND I AM REALLY AFRAID FOR OUR LIVES. I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT'S GOING TO JUST SHUT OFF OR NOT START AND IT IS REALLY DANGEROUS FOR ME AND MY CHILD. WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS CAR IT WAS NEW WITH 17 MILES ON IT IN FEBRUARY, 2017 BUT I AM SO AFRAID OF DRIVING IT. STERLING MCCALL CHECKED THE CAR OUT FOR ME AND TOLD ME THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT IT STILL CUTS OFF. PLEASE HELP ME.

I HAVE FORD FOCUS SE TRIM 2016. IWAS DRIVING AS NORMAL WITH 30MPH SPEED AND SUDDENLY RPM RAISES TO 4000 RPM THE TRANSMISSION WAS ON D POSITION BUT CAR WON'T DRIVE FORWARD, A MESSAGE APPEARS ON SCREEN ' TRANSMISSION FAULT STOP SAFETY ' I STOPPED THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF THE TURN IT ON AGAIN TRIED TO USE REVERSE R BUT IT'S NOT WORKING AND D IS NOT WORKING AND KEEPS SHOWING ME THIS NOTIFICATION ABOUT ' TRANSMISSION FAULT STOP SAFTY' & ' TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED..' THE CAR HAS ONLY 40000 KM SO I TOOK IT TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER IN IRAQ ' AL KASID ' THEY CHECKED IT AND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE CLUTCH AND BALL BEARINGS OF THE DCT AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE COMPANY AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS BUT I KNOW THAT FORD DONE SOME RECALLS FOR THE FORD FOCUS WITH DCT TRANSMISSION (POWERSHIFT) BUT THEY SAID YOU CAR IS NOT INCLUDED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEEDS AROUND 65-70 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. PRESSING ON THE GAS WOULD REV THE ENGINE UP TO 4-5K RPMS. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER BUT WAS TERRIFIED OF BEING STRUCK BY A LARGE SEMI TRUCK BEHIND ME UNTIL I COULD GET TO THE SHOULDER. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RE-ENGAGED THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WORKED SPORADICALLY UNTIL I COULD GET TO THE NEXT EXIT. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE REVERSE WOULDN'T ENGAGE. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. ON THE WAY THERE, THE CAR WOULD JOLT FORWARD IN AN INTERSECTION, ONLY TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. THIS SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL HAPPENED TWO OR THREE TIMES ON THE WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO, WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE GEARS WOULD SHIFT AUTOMATICALLY INTO A LOWER GEAR PREMATURELY WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE COMING TO A FASTER STOP THAN WAS EXPECTED.

NOW THE HESITATION IS WORSE WITH GRINDING SOUND AND THEY TELL ME THE WARRANTY IS UP ND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY.

MAY 30 2019 MY CAR CUT OFF FROM DRIVING IN THE OF THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CALL ROAD SIDE TOLD I'M STUCK IN MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAN'T MOVE, THEY'LL BE A HOUR, TOW DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER WHERE I BROUGHT IT AND GET CAR SERVICE THEY FOUND ITS THE CLUTCH HAD IT FIX ALREADY MAYBE A YEAR AGO, I PURCHASE PREMIUM CARE WARRANTY ASK TO A SAFE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY CAN FIX MY THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDERED TWO WEEKS GIVE BACK MY NOT FIX TOLD ME IT'S SAFE DRIVE I FEEL IS UNFAIR. ALSO THERE'S A LAWSUIT ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH FORD.

Over the course of less than 5 years that I’ve owned this car it has needed the clutch repaired 3 times. First time was at approximately 25,000 miles, second time at 47,000, and third at 71,000. There is an extremely noticeable shudder, loud noise, and vibration throughout front end of car when accelerating. Additionally, the car has erratic transmission shifting and does not properly shift into gear causing it to lose motive power and not immediately accelerate when pressing the gas. I have attached the most recent invoice I received from the dealer diagnosing the problem.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2016 FORD FOCUS SE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLIPPING, STUTTERING AND HIGH RPMS DURING GEAR CHANGES BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE FROM AN ON-RAMP ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND UPON ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE THE RPMS WERE VERY HIGH BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AT THIS POINT I AM ON THE HIGHWAY WITH TRAFFIC GAINING AT AN ALARMING RATE WHICH CAUSED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THIS ISSUE BUT THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY FELT I WAS IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. THIS ALSO AFFECTS MY FUEL ECONOMY WHICH IS A NOMINAL ISSUE AS COMPARED TO THE FACT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. STEP UP FORD BEFORE THERE ARE MAJOR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

THE TRANSMISSION, DRIVE TRAIN, INTENSELY VIBRATES, SIMMIES, AND DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE WHEN YOU TRY TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ESP. TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM ANY DEAD STOP. IS THIS A CONSULTANT PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FOCUS? HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR YET, AND DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING ANOTHER EVER AGAIN. CURRENTLY, 16,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE TRANSMISSION ENGINE REVVING AND IS UP THERE IN THE SHIFTER

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN AUG 2018. VEHICLE HAS STALL ON ME 4 TIMES SINCE I HAD IT ALSO, WENT TO THE FORD HOMESTEAD DEALER FOR RECALL ISSUES BUT CAR SEEM TO STILL STALL. ENDED UP TAKING THE VEHICLE ON 05/17/19 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND DIAGNOSTIC DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PEP BOYS AND WAS THERE ALL WEEKEND. NOW I THOUGHT THE REPAIR WAS FIXED AND THE WAS RETURNED TO ME ON 05/19/19 WHICH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. SO NOW THE CARE CONTINUE TO STALL.

The transmission has a problem with shifting shaking, slipping, grinding

VEHICLE WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, SIMILAR 2016 MODELS HAVE AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT LISTED ON THE OPEN RECALL. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND WHEN I TAKE IT TO A SHOP THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE THE VEHICLE IS HAVING. THE ISSUE WILL ARISE AND GO AWAY CAUSING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND GO AWAY

" TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN MY CAR STARTED SMELLING HOT. I LITERALLY JUST LEFT MY HOUSE I WAS ABOUT 5 MILES FROM HOME. IT SMELLED LIKE HOW YOU USE THE HEATER FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING COLD WEATHER. I CHECKED THE GAUGES TO MAKE SURE I WAS NOT OVER HEATING. I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS POP ON AND MY TEMP GAUGE WAS NORMAL. I THAN STARTED SEEING SMOKE COMING FROM THE SIDE OF THE HOOD. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT OUT. THE ENTIRE CAR UNDER NEATH WAS ON FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY GOT AWAY FROM THE CAR AND WAITED FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE TO COME.

TIRES ARE WEARING OUT ON THE INSIDE A LOT FASTER. AM ON 3RD SET THE FIRST TWO SETS DID THIS AND THE DEALER SAID THE ALIGNMENT WAS FINE. I.FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS A CURSORY INSPECTION OF THE TIRES LOOKS OK BUT IF YOU GET ON THE GROUND TO CHECK THE INSIDE PART THE WEAR WILL BE ALARMING. I WENT ONLINE TO CHECK MESSAGE BOARDS FOR THIS MODEL AND NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE STALLS & STARTS TO SHAKE. IT HAPPENS IN THE STREET EVERY TIME YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AFTER YOU BREAK ON A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR JERKS AND SPUTTERS SO BAD THAT FOR FEAR OF GETTING IN A COLLISION WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR ALL TRAFFIC TO CLEAR WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. VERY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY! I WAS NOT THIS BAD ON THE TEST DRIVE AND THE SALES MAN TOLD IT THE CLUTCH PLATES NEEDED TO BE BROKEN IN!

CAR WILL NOT START AFTER FUELING. CAR SHAKES AND SHUTTERS AND TAKES MULTIPLE CRANKING ATTEMPTS TO START CAR. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FUELING. IT ALSO DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE TANK IS ALMOST EMPTY, HALF-WAY FULL, OR 3/4 FULL. THE SAME THING OCCURS EVERYTIME. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED MY SOFTWARE PER THE RECALL. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100 JUST TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT STARTED AFTER THEY UPDATED MY SOFTWARE.
