WHILE WAITING IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL OR ACCELERATING UPHILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY TURNS ON AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS LEFT ME ROLLING TO A STOP ON THE FREEWAY AND EVEN ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWNHILL UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. TODAY I BARELY PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE I STARTED TO COAST BACKWARDS. RECALL WAS POSTED 10/22/18 AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION YET OVER 4 MONTHS LATER.

I CALLED WASHINGTON FORD IN WASHINGTON, PA ON 1/17/2019 REGARDING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DUE TO FORD FOCUS RECALL (PURGE VALVE). THEY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR 1/30/2019 TO FIX THE RECALL. TOOK MY CAR IN ON THE EVE OF 1/29/2019 AND DROPPED IT OFF. THEY CALLED ME THE FOLLOWING DAY TO SAY THEY DIDNT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO PICK UP MY CAR AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART CAME IN. I HAD AN INSPECTION SCHEDULED FOR 2/7/2019 AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COME IN PRIOR TO MY INSPECTION. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM BUT CALLED BACK A FEW TIMES, TELLING THEM I HAD NEW CODES COMING UP ON MY OBD SENSOR (FIXD) THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING ROUGH, STALLING OUT WHILE IDLING/STOPPED.. THEY ASSURED ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY DID NOT GET PART IN BY 2/7/2019 AND I MISSED MY INSPECTION. TWO NEW CODES CAME UP ON MY CAR AND I CALLED ANGRILY ON 2/14/2019 TO ASK IF THEY NEED ME TO TAKE CAR TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE JUST ABOUT TO CALL ME TO TELL ME PARTS CAME IN.. WE SCHEDULED FOR 2/22/2019 TO HAVE RECALL FIXED. THEY TOLD ME RENTAL CARS AREN'T COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL WHEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEMS WITH SCHEDULING SO MANY APPOINTMENTS AND HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING OTHER TRANSPORTATION. ON 2/17/2019 MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, ON A MAJOR ROAD (ROUTE 40). I WAS ABLE TO COAST DOWN A SIDE STREET AND PULL INTO DRIVEWAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. HAD THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE PROBLEM THE DAY THEY ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED ME, I WOULD HAVE A WORKING CAR. NOW, I'M AFRAID MORE DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE, AS THERE ARE 7 TOTAL CODES ON MY OBD SENSOR(THERE WERE 3 WHEN I FIRST CALLED ABOUT RECALL). THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE NEVER SCHEDULED ME WHEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT PART IN STOCK, OR A RENTAL CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED UNTIL THEY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. I'M VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LEVEL AT THIS LOCATION!

"TAKATA RECALL" WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON RANDOMLY, THEY WILL SPEED UP AND SLOW DOWN. THEY WILL NOT TURN OFF EVEN WHEN CAR IS PARKED AND KEY IS OUT OF IGNITION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT IS NOT RAINING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TURN ON BY THEMSELVES. I AM CONCERNED THIS WILL ALSO DRAIN MY BATTERY AND/OR BE A FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, SITTING STATIONARY, AND WHEN CAR IS COMPLETELY OFF. I DO NOT HAVE A DOCUMENT TO UPLOAD AS I WAS DRIVING BUT I CAN TAKE A VIDEO IF NEEDED.

MY FOCUS IS UNDER FORD RECALL...IT IS EXPERIENCING STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER AND DIFFICULTY STARTING. FORD SAYS IT WILL BE FINE IF I KEEP A HALF TANK OF FUEL IN TANK, BUT ALL THE SYMPTOMS ARE HAPPENING WITH OVER HALF A TANK OF FUEL.

MY VEHICLE HAS DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND AFTER GETTING GAS IT DOES NOT WANT TO START AND WILL SPUTTER AND ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE, OR DIE OR IT WILL BE VERY HARD TO START. THE CAR WILL JUST DIE AT STOP SIGNS AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. YOU CAN NOT TELL IF THERE IS GAS OR NOT BECAUSE THE GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND WILL GO TO FULL EVEN IF YOU ONLY PUT ONE DOLLAR IN AND THEN AT HALF A TANK IT WILL GO BACK TO SHOWING FULL. I KNOW IT IS LOW OF GAS AND IT WILL ONLY HOLD FIVE OR TEN DOLLARS AT A TIME NO MATTER WHAT I CAN NOT TELL WHAT AMOUNT IS IN THE CAR AND THE SOLUTION I RECEIVED FROM FORD WHILE WAITING ON PARTS IS TO KEEP IT HALF A TANK OR MORE BUT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS THERE. THEY HAVE ALSO TOLD ME THEY ARE BUSY AND MAYBE AWHILE ANYWAY AND THEY CANT GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN RAN OVER, BEEN STRANDED AND MISSED WORK BECAUSE OF THIS AND NOW I HAVE NO WAY TO GO IF THEY DO GET PARTS IN TO FIX THIS. PRIOR TO THIS MY TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING MY CAR TO DIE AND THE DOOR HINGE IS UNDER RECALL AND THEY CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED TOTALLY. I DONT TRUST THEM TO FIX IT AND THESE ARE LEMONS AND THEY KNEW THIS AND PEOPLE HAVE CRASHED BECAUSE OF THIS!! THEY ARE LYING AND SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE CARS. THIS IS UNFAIR , UNETHICAL AND DANGEROUS. YOU CANT DO THIS AND RISK SO MANY LIVES. DO SOMETHING BEFORE PEOPLE DIE PLEASE!!1 IT HAS STOPPED ON HIGHWAY, PARKING LOT AND CITY ROAD AND RURAL ROAD. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY MANY TIMES.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR SAID TO GET OUT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING. THE DEALERSHIP EVENTUALLY FIXED THE CAR AND CLAIMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION ISSUE IS STILL CAUSING ISSUES.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL DUE TO THE DEFORMED FUEL TANK. THE DEALERSHIP AND THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL CONFIRMED THAT MY FUEL TANK READINGS WILL BE INACCURATE DUE TO THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEFORMATION. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED TO FIX IT ACCORDING TO FORD'S RECALL. THEY ALSO SAID THAT I SHOULD NOT LONGER HAVE INACCURATE READINGS. TODAY, THE FUEL READING ARE STILL INACCURATE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR MAY STALL AND ISSUE IS NOT ACTUALLY RESOLVED. THE READING ARE STILL OVER 100 MILES OFF. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD REFUSE TO EVALUATE THE ISSUE AND/OR FIX THE ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL. THE PHOTO I PROVIDED BELOW DEMONSTRATES HOW OFF THE FUEL IS. PRIOR TO THIS PHOTO, MY TANK WAS ON EMPTY. I ADDED 5 GALLONS OF GAS OR ABOUT 150 MILES. A FULL TANK IS AROUND 345 MILES TYPICALLY FOR MY CAR BASE UPON HISTORICAL READINGS. IN THE PHOTO, THE ELECTRONIC GAUGE SAYS 215 MILES LEFT WHICH IS WRONG AND THE OTHER GAUGE READS THAT ITS ALMOST FULL (~315MILES) ALSO WRONG. THE READINGS SHOULD SAY AROUND 150 MILES. BOTH GAUGES ARE OFF AND THEY ALSO DO NOT COINCIDE.
