STEERING ASSIST FAULT: AT MILEAGE 84209 THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. AFTER COMPLETING RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT FORD HAS NOT RECALLED. IT STOPPED WORKING AT THE GAS PUMP, WITH SOME LUCK I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A PARKING SPOT AND LEAVE THE CAR STRANDED UNTIL ARRANGING FOR A TOW TRUCK. FORD WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THE $2,000.00 EXPENSE TO FIX ONE OF THEIR KNOWN ISSUES. VERY FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS HURT. VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE QUALITY OF WORK AND CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REMEDY THIS KNOWN ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HTTP://WWW.ABOUTLAWSUITS.COM/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2014-06-27-COMPLAINT.PDF .

FORD FOCUS GAS TANK ISSUE: MY CAR WAS STALLING AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE TIMELY SO TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE EVAP PURGE VALVE MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE FUEL TANK TO WARP. THE GAS TANK NEEDS REPLACED AS WELL AS EVERYTHING RELATED (SEE ATTACHED). MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET (I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HAVING TO GET A GAS TANK REPLACED DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR) SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY FORD AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO A RECALL OR EVEN A NOTIFICATION TO THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. BESIDES MY HUGE CONCERNS ON HAVING A DEFECTIVE GAS TANK (I SEE IT AS A FIRE HAZARD), THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS TRYING TO STALL OUT - I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT TO GET HIT. FORD HAS DONE RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE WHY NOT THE FORD FOCUS? I EXPECT TO REPAIR / REPLACE THINGS LIKE THE BRAKES NOT THE GAS TANK.

I COULD HANDLE THE STUDDER AND HANDLE THE BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY MY SEAT BELT, BUT NOW I HAVE TO PAY $1,800 TO GET MY STEERING FIX AFTER ALMOST HITTING A TREE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO UPGRADE TO A ESCAPE, I WILL NEVER BUY FORD AGAIN AFTER THIS BECAUSE I HAVE 89000 ON MY CAR THEY WILL HELP WITH NOTHING. NOR DO THEY CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY OR THE OTHER PEOPLE AROUND ME ! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED. I TRULY LOVED THIS LITTLE CAR UNTIL IT TRIED TO KILL ME.

STARTED MY CAR THIS MORNING AND IMMEDIATELY MY "STEERING REQUIRES ASSIST" ALERT CAME ON AND I FOUND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. MY CAR SHOWED NO SIGNS OF ANY ISSUE WHEN I PARKED IT LAST NIGHT 12/14/16 AROUND 7PM BUT WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK AT 12/15/16 AT 5:30AM THE ALERT CAME ON. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT 1) A CAR WITH LESS THAN 70K NEEDS THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED TO THE TUNE OF $2000 AND 2) THAT THIS FAILURE IS SO COMMONPLACE THEY STOCK THE STEERING ASSEMBLY FOR THIS REPAIR. I'M JUST THANKFUL I WASN'T COMMUTING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS OCCURRED WHEREAS MANY OTHERS WERE NOT.

MY CAR IS IN THE FOURTH TIME FOR TRANSMISSION RELATED ISSUES. ALSO THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BILL BROWN FORD IN LIVONIA MI DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILING CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FOCUS, BUT FORD HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ON LINE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID FORD IS QUITE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. TWO YEARS AGO I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT OUT OF GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHED A WARNING. FORD REPLACED THE TCU. THE CAR IS NOW HESITATING AGAIN ALONG WITH SHUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS SHUDDERS, SLOW TO ACCELERATE AND GRINDS WHEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE LOSE POWER MUTLIPLE TIMES AS I AM SLOWING TO A STOP AND LOST POWER COMPLETE IN MAY 2016. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AND NOW DECEMBER 2016 SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I MUST PAY FOR THE REPAIR, ALTHOUGH SHOULD THE CLUTCH LAST LONGER THAN 7 MONTHS. THESE ALWAYS HAPPENED IN THE CITY ON EITHER TWO LANES OR FOUR LANES AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT EARLY MORNING IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE CARE WILL RUN CORRECTLY AND SAFELY.

NHTSA ODI 10933865

STARTED CAR AND STEERING WHEEL FROZE - POWER STEERING COMPLETELY INCAPACITATED. ERROR NOTIFICATION DISPLAYED "STEERING ASSIST FAULT." I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I RESTARTED IT WAS GONE. THIS ALSO HAPPENED A YEAR AGO AND NOW AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OTHERS. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THESE MODELS BEFORE A SERIOUS EVENT HAPPENS.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 3 TIMES THIS YEAR ALONE FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. EVERY TIME I GO IN THEY ADJUST SOMETHING OR REPLACE A SMALL PART, BUT NEVER COMPLETELY FIX THE PROBLEM. IT SHUDDERS, HESITATES, BUCKS, AND KIND OF STALLS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS TRYING TO SHIFT OR MAKING GRINDING NOISES. IT CAN DO IT SPEEDING UP OR SLOWING DOWN OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVE, IT IS UNPREDICTABLE. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION ALSO OVER HEAT AND TELL ME TO PULL OVER ON LARGE BUSY ROADS AND HAVE A LOSS OF POWER WHEN NOT STOPPING FAST ENOUGH. IT IS SCARY WHEN MY CAR IS SHUDDERING GOING NO WHERE AND I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC OR GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WITH MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR. FORDS RESPONSE IS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE CAR, SOME TIMES THEY SAY IT IS WITHIN SPECS AND SOMETIMES THEY SAY THAT I HAVE TO DRIVE IT WHILE I WAIT FOR PARTS TO COME IN, WHICH ARE USUALLY BACK ORDERED. THE SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME HERSELF THAT SHE WOULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BUT I AM EXPECTED TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT GIVE ME A LOANER AND THEY HAVE NO PARTS TO FIX MY CAR, AND EVEN WHEN THEY DO "FIX IT" THE SAME PROBLEM STARTS AGAIN WITHIN A COUPLE MONTHS. I THINK THEY ARE JUST WAITING AND RIDING IT OUT UNTIL THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT ON IT. NOW TO TOP IT OFF THERE IS ALSO A RECALL ON THE DOOR LATCHES WHERE THE DOORS CAN JUST OPEN AND THEY ALSO DO NOT HAVE THOSE PARTS. IT IS AN UNSAFE CAR AND A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE THAT I AM GOING THROUGH. *TR

RESTARTING FIXES STEERING BUT AFRAID PROBLEM WILL ESCALATE AND CAUSE ACCIDENT OR WORSE...PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR KILLED FROM LOSS OF CONTROL OF STEERING.

MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FROM THE COMPANY. THEY HAVE 3 RECALLS ON THE TRANSMISSION: TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING FOR OVERT TCM FAILURE WARNING TRANSMISSION CLUTCH SHUDDER / TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SEAL WARRANTY EXTENSION TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE I CALLED THEM TWICE AND THEY CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY FOUND ME ELIGIBLE TO GET MY CAR FIXED AT ONE OF THEIR DEALERS. I TOOK MY CAR THERE AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR BECAUSE MY CAR HAS A BRANDED(SALVAGE) TITLE. NOW, IF YOU CAN'T BUILD A CAR RIGHT, LEAVE THIS BUSINESS TO SOMEBODY ELSE.WHEN YOU HAVE ALL THESE FAILURES IN THE TRANSMISSION, THIS TELLS ME THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS JUST A SCAM AND IT SHOULDN'T BE THERE.IF A CAR GOT A HIT IN THE TRUNK FAR AWAY FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH IT, WHAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH YOUR MISTAKE. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKE?DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM DOES TO THE CAR?HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED,I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST 70 MILES/HOUR WITH MY FAMILY AND SUDDENLY MY CAR WAS NOT GOING FORWARD AND ALTHOUGH PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL,THE CAR WAS NOT SPEEDING. DO YOU REALIZE THAT ANY CAR FROM BEHIND COULD JUST HIT ME FROM THE BACK BECAUSE I DIDN'T HIT THE BRAKES AND NO BRAKES LIGHTS WERE ON NOR ANY WARNING THAT I WAS SLOWING DOWN.DO YOU KNOW HOW I WAS TERRIFIED TO GO FROM MY LANE TO THE SHOULDER WHILE LOSING SPEED AND ANY TRUCK OR CAR CAN HIT ME AND KILL ME WITH MY FAMILY.NO,YOU DON'T KNOW BECAUSE YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES. IF YOU CARE YOU WON'T LET THESE CARS RUN ON THE ROADS. 3 FAILURES IN THE TRANSMISSION, 2 OF THEM WILL COVER MY SALVAGE TITLE AND 1 WON'T COVER IT, WHY?? THE WAY I SEE IT IS YOU MESSED UP IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER, WHY DO YOU COVER 2 FAULTS AND NOT THE 3RD ONE? *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT ON COUNTY ROAD APPROX 25-30 MPH DRY PAVEMENT WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL OF THE CAR TO FOLLOW THE ROAD AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL OR THE BRAKES. CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD HEADED FOR A TREE. WENT INTO DITCH BEFORE STEERING BECAME AVAILABLE AGAIN. IN INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON MY OWN PRIOR TO TAKING TO DEALER. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE AN ISSUE AND EVEN A NOTED INVESTIGATION LISTED OR AWARENESS OF THE HIGHWAY SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. I CAN TELL YOU THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO CONTROL OF THIS CAR AT THAT TIME. THESE CARS ARE VERY DANGEROUS ON MANY LEVELS AS THEY HAVE MULTIPLE DEFECTIVE PARTS. JUST CALL JIM O'NEAL IN SELLERSBURG INDIANA AS THEY HAVE ALL THE RECORDS OF SHOWING THEY HAVE ALMOST REBUILT MY ENTIRE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT NEW IN 2012. UPON BEING EVALUATED AND DRIVEN, WITH THIS OCCURRING TO THE TECHNICIAN AS WELL AT JIM O'NEAL FORD, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COMPONENT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS CONCERN AS THERE HAVE BEEN 2 BULLETINS SENT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS. DOCUMENTED IN RESEARCH IF YOU LOOK AND ALSO TOLD TO ME VERBALLY BY [XXX] THE SERVICE MANAGER AT JIM O'NEAL FORD. AT NO TIME IN THE MANY VISITS TO THE REPAIR SHOP AT FORD HAS ANYONE MENTIONED THE FACT THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY OCCUR OR HAS THERE BEEN ANY PREVENTIVE CHECKS OF THE SYSTEM. I REALLY WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTIGATED AS I DO SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WAS JUST LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE NOT HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR DURING THIS LATEST FAILURE IN THIS CAR. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR PRODUCING AND NOT UPHOLDING THEIR END OF THIS CAR AS PEOPLE ARE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS HAS A TRANSMISSION CLUTCH DEFECT.. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN A RATTLE NOISE, DURING LOW GEARS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS OFF AND ON, VEHICLE STALLS AS YOUR DRIVING, SPEEDOMETER GOES UP WHEN YOU ARE IN PARK, AND IT CAUSES THE CAR TO "FLUTTER" IN AND OUT LIKE IT'S ABOUT TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE HAD THE DEFECT FIXED BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES.. I AM NOW HAVING TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED FOR THE FOURTH TIME. I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK FROM BEING FIXED AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. THAT SAME DAY OF PICKING UP MY CAR MY SON AND I STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE THREE TIMES! MY SON IS 19 MONTHS OLD, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE I WAS FEARING FOR OUR LIFE.. CARS GOING 70+ MILES AN HOUR, GOING PAST YOU, WHILE YOUR STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE LANE.. I COULDN'T GET OUT THE VEHICLE WITH MY SON, BECAUSE REMIND YOU, I COULDN'T GET OUT SAFELY, ALL I COULD DO WAS HOPE THE PEOPLE BEHIND ME COULD SEE MY SAFETY HAZARD LIGHTS.. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE STALLED OUT IN THIS CAR.. THIS MAKES STALLING OUT NUMBER 6.. I HAVE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN WITH THIS CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY SON IN THE CAR.. I JUST WANT THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE MY CAR.. I WANT TO FEEL SAFE DRIVING AND I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MINE. *TR
