2016 Ford Focus Body & Structure Problems

While driving on the highway my 2016 ford focus stalled without warning and would not start until after having it towed. When I go to the gas station after filling the gas tank my vehicle is either hard to start or doesn't start until after waiting a while. This happens often. My check engine light stays on and it smells like gas from the outside. The front-end apron of my vehicle has recently fallen off without warning and for no reason. I took my vehicle to San Tan Ford in Gilbert, Arizona where I purchased my 2016 Ford Focus in May of 2016.

Dealership and Ford Motor Company is refusing to do repairs stating that my VIN number does not have any recalls and refused to check my front-end apron joints for recall 17S03 although my front-end apron has unattached for no reason. the technician also included that the front-end motor mount is collapsed and recommend replacing mount. Water Pump Replacement inspection found leaking recommend replacing water pump. Also, the degas bottle cracked and leaking coolant and Damaged from excessive Vacuum applied to tank The Canister Purge Valve malfunction causing excessive vacuum in the vapor management system. Stuck canister purge valves cause it to stall. If the CPV is replaced, dealers should inspect and replace the carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel delivery module as necessary. Bearing failed as the result of a sudden overload caused by vibration or imbalance compounded by rapid engine acceleration. This overloads the bearing generating a great deal of heat.

The contact’s girlfriend’s daughter owns a 2016 Ford Focus. The contact stated while his girlfriend’s daughter was driving 65 MPH, she either drove over a pothole or a rock on the roadway and the vehicle started jerking. The driver veered to the side of the roadway to inspect the vehicle and noticed damage to the front driver’s side bumper that was detached from the subframe. The contact stated that the hood release hinges on the driver’s and passenger’s side of the vehicle fractured causing the hood to inadvertently, smashing into the windshield shattering the windshield. The driver called the contact to the scene for assistance. The contact was able to secure the hood with bungee cords for the driver to drive the vehicle to the residence. The following day the vehicle was towed to a body shop to be inspected. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

THE REAR QUARTER GLASS SEALS HAVE BOTH STARTED LEAKING WITHIN 2 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. WATER ENTERS THROUGH THE SEAL LEAK AND ENTERS THE HATCH AND UNDER REAR SEATS. I HAVE VERIFIED THIS IS THE LEAK BY SPRAYING A WATER HOSE ON THE OUTSIDE AND WATCHING IT LEAK PRETTY HEAVILY IN THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

BOTH HATCH STRUTS FAILED WITHIN 1 YEAR OF PURCHASING THE CAR NEW FROM DEALER. STRUTS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND HATCH DROPPED ON HEAD. AFTER STRUT FAILURE, THE HATCH WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AS IT WOULD SLAM SHUT IN A WAY THAT WOULD EASILY TAKE OFF A FINGER OR A HAND.

I HAVE A 2016 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK. AS I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPR ON THE INTERSTATE WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND AT THAT TIME. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD POP. IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD A BLOW OUT AND THEN I HEAR GLASS SO I PULLED OVER SAFELY ONLY TO GET OUT AND SEE THAT MY SUNROOF WAS BUSTED. NOT ONLY WAS IT BUSTED BUT THE GLASS CHIPPED MY PAINT. IT WAS A VERY SCARY MOMENT. IT SOUNDED LIKE PRESSURE WAS BUILT UP WHEN IT BUSTED. THE GLASS WAS POINTED UPWARDS LIKE IT BUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
