AT TIMES THE CAR WON'T START, THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTS. CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AS IF IT IS OUT OF GAS. CUTS OFF ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED OR LOW SPEED. FIRST THE BATTER AND OIL LIGHT APPEARS IN RED ON DASH WHEN PUSHING THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS AND IT CUTS OFF. IT STALLS MORE AND MORE, THE FUEL GAGE SOMES GOES PAST FULL OR FLUCTUATES WHEN DRIVING. AFTER PUTTING GAS IN CAR IT STALLS MORE. ALSO, AS I PULL OFF AFTER STOPPED OR INITIALLY, THE CAR HESITATES AND SKIPS AND THE TIRES SKIP WHEN UNTIL IT GETS PAST 15 -20 MILES THEN THE TRANSMISSION IS STEADY WHEN IT'S NOT SALLING.. WHEN IT RAINS THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR AND ROOF LEAKS WATER CONSTANTLY WHEN I AM DRIVING IN WATER THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR GETS WET.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 30 MPH MY VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST COMPLETE POWER. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT FORTUNATELY THE ALERT DRIVERS AROUND ME WERE ABLE TO BRAKE IN TIME. A FRIENDLY SAMARITAN HELPED TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANKFULLY I WAS PHYSICALLY OKAY, BUT EMOTIONALLY NOT SO MUCH. I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2014 FORD FOCUS OFF OF THE LOT AND HAVE SINCE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. I'M STILL PAYING ON THE VEHICLE TODAY AND NOW IT IS NOT IN USE UNLESS I CAN COME UP WITH 2,500.00 TO REPAIR THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED AT ONLY 67,000 MILES. THERE IS AN ISSUED RECALL ON SIMILAR FORD VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM 2013-2015 WHICH IS THE SAME TIME FRAME IN WHICH MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO COME TO A RESOLUTION THROUGH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY WON'T EVEN OFFER INFORMATION ON THE TYPE OF FUEL SYSTEM USED ON THE VEHICLES WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE LIABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. I'M OUT OF A VEHICLE AT 67,000 MILES AND HAVE NO CONSUMER PROTECTION. IT'S SCARY TO READ ABOUT THE 100'S OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AT SIMILAR MILEAGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT FORD NEEDS TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY. IN ADDITION, SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN JERKY AND I CAN'T EVEN ACCELERATE ONTO A HIGHWAY. FORD HAD VEHEMENTLY DENIED THAT IT WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE MANUFACTURER TRANSMISSION AND YET SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION, BUT NOW TELL ME I'M TOO FAR PAST MY WARRANTY(WHICH WAS ONLY 7,000 MILES AGO) I'M HEARTBROKEN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR THIS SORT OF SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY KNOWING IT IS A DEFECT ON THEIR PART.

NHTSA ODI 11020918

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH, SAME FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS UNDER RECALL ON FORD VEHICLES MANUFACTURED THROUGH 2013-2015. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I NEARLY LOST MY LIFE DRIVING A 3 YEAR OLD CAR THAT I'M STILL PAYING ON. THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAD JUST SCHEDULED SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE EARLIER THAT MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT READING THE FUEL LEVEL CORRECTLY AND STALLING WHEN I FILLED THE TANK UP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 2,500.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURER PART.

WHEN FILLING WITH CAR AT GAS STATION THE AUTO PUMP SHUT OFF DOES NOT FUNCTION SPEWING FUEL ALL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. FUEL GAUGES ON CAR ARE NOT ACCURATE. TOOK CAR TO FORD THERE IS A TSB 15-0034 FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FUEL TANK WAS DISTORTED/DEFORMED CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO MALFUNCTION OVERFLOWING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IS A FIRE HAZARD WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARDS.

TRANSMISSION: THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STUTTERING AND THEN UNEXPECTEDLY JUMPING FORWARD WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR SINCE ABOUT 1,500 MILES. IT'S BEEN GETTING CONTINUOUSLY WORSE SINCE. THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT TRULY ENDANGERED MY SAFETY WAS WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT FROM A 3-WAY STOP, IT ALMOST STALLED IN FRONT OF INCOMING TRAFFIC, THEN SUDDENLY PROPELLED FORWARD INTO A GAS STATION CURB & BLEW OUT MY TIRE. THE SECOND INCIDENT, WHICH IS WHY I'M FILING THIS REPORT, WAS WITH MY 2 DAUGHTERS IN THE CAR, LEAVING A STOP LIGHT AT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION. IT WAS RAINING, AND I WAS TRYING TO GET UP TO THE 55MPH SPEED LIMIT BUT THE CAR KEPT CHUGGING AND STUTTERING. OTHER VEHICLES WERE GOING AROUND ME AS MY SPEED SLOWLY CLIMBED, & AT ALMOST 50 MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND, DESPITE TAPPING MY BRAKES, CONTINUED TO DO SO UNTIL IT HIT 65 MPH. I WAS SURROUNDED BY OTHER VEHICLES, AND PRESSED THE BRAKE HARDER TO AVOID HITTING THE LINE OF CARS IN FRONT OF ME, TO THE LEFT OF ME, OR HAVING TO SWERVE INTO THE DITCH ON MY RIGHT AT THIS HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BECAUSE TAPPING THE BRAKES CAUTIOUSLY WAS HAVING EFFECT ON THE CARS ACCELERATION. WHEN IT STOPPED QUICKLY ACCELERATING, IT CONTINUED TO STUTTER, BUT SEEMED TO LEVEL OFF AT MY CHOSEN SPEED. SINCE THEN, ITS CONTINUED TO STUTTER AND CHUG AND JUMP FORWARD ALMOST EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE, WHETHER FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR TO GO FASTER THAN MY CURRENT SPEED. IT'S TERRIFYING.

NHTSA ODI 10957257

WHILE ACCELERATING, VEHICLE FREQUENTLY STALLS AND/OR HESITATES TO CONTINUE ACCELERATION CREATING A JERKING AFFECT UNTIL IT CAN ACTUALLY CATCH AGAIN OR PROVIDE FUEL TO ACCELERATE. THIS TYPICALLY OCCURS WHEN PRESSING ON THE PEDAL BOTH WHEN STOPPED/START OR IF IN MOTION AND ACCELERATE TO GO ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON A DAILY BASIS.

I PURCHASED THIS FOCUS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013. LITTLE DID I REALIZE THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE WORST MISTAKES I MADE IN MY LIFE THUS FAR. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THE CAR 3 MONTHS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE STARTED HAPPENING. I DON'T DRIVE ERRATIC OR AGGRESSIVE I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 12 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT IT, TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE MADE FRIENDS WITH SOME OF THE GUYS THERE. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES AND THE MODULE HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED AND EVERYTHING THAT FORD CLAIMS WILL "FIX" THE ISSUE. IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED, THE MOST RECENT TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO FIX IT I COULDN'T ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE GEARS WOULDN'T GRAB AFTER SECOND, THEN THE CAR STALLED AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, SO I HAD TO NURSE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART IT AND I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED FORD, AND THE BAD THING IS, IS THAT THEY KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY WILL LOSE MONEY. I FINALLY SPOKE TO A REP AT FORD THAT DIRECTED ME TOWARDS THE BBB BECAUSE SHE FOUND OUT THAT I WAS IN THE MILITARY, SAYING THAT THE MILITARY MEMBERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THINGS LIKE THIS BECAUSE WE DO SO MUCH FOR THE COUNTRY. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BBB AND THEY FINALLY SAID THAT THEY WILL HAVE A RESOLUTION WITHIN 14 DAYS FROM YESTERDAY. AND WHAT IS REALLY ALARMING IS THAT THE ONLY REASON I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE BBB OPTION IS BECAUSE OF MY MILITARY SERVICE. IT IS RIDICULOUS BECAUSE I KNOW THIS ISSUE IS NATIONWIDE AND FORD WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT IS SAD TO SAY LIKE WITH THE ISSUE THAT TOYOTA HAD WITH THEIR CARS IS THAT SOMEONE HAS TO DIE AND SUE FORD BEFORE THIS ISSUE WILL GET RESOLVED, UNLESS YOU WANT TO TAKE DIRECT ACTION AGAINST FORD.

THE CAR WAS DRIVING ROUGH AND STALLED WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT IN A LEFT TURN LANE ON A 6-LANE STATE HIGHWAY. IT WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 FORD FOCUS SE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST 2000 DOLLARS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. FORD REFUSES TO DO A RECALL EVEN KNOWING THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM

NHTSA ODI 10895000

2014 FORD FOCUS WITH 45K MILES, COMPLETELY STOCK. FUEL TANK COLLAPSED DUE TO EVAP SOLENOID FAILURE. THIS CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ INACCURATELY AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WITH NO WARNINGS. NO CHECK GAUGES LIGHT, NO SEL LIGHT, NO CODES, NOTHING BUT COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE FAILURE. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THIS KNOWN FAILURE UNDER WARRANTY CLAIMING IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (NOT SURE HOW EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT AND FUEL ISN'T POWERTRAIN COMPONENTS.......). FORD WANTED $900 TO FIX JUST THE FUEL TANK, PLUS ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE EVAP CANISTER, EVAP SOLENOID, AND FUEL SENDING UNIT. I WILL HAVE TO FIX THIS MY SELF EVEN THOUGH I STILL HAVE 15K MILES LEFT UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THIS IS KNOWN FAILURE FROM FORD (THEY HAVE TSB'S FOR THEIR TECHS TO FOLLOW FOR THIS VERY SPECIFIC REASON!!!!!!). UNACCEPTABLE

THE TRANSMISSION STARTED STALLING GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, RPM'S HIGH WITHOUT VEHICLE GOING FORWARD. TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER ON 05/10/16 AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2016 FOR MY DAUGHTER AND WAS NEVER TOLD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND I TOLD THEM I HAD SAFETY CONCERNS. THE DEALER RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND SAID THEY REPROGRAMMED IT AND SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR A BIT. THE FIX DID NOT WORK. WE WENT THERE TODAY. 06/15/16 AND WILL TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 06/22/16 FOR THEM TO TEAR DOWN THE TRANSMISSION AND TO CLEAN IT UP TO KEEP IT RUNNING. WE WERE TOLD IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO GET THE PART IN THAT WAS NEEDED. I COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGER THIS TIME. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE STALLING AND THEN PICKING BACK UP WITH THE RPM'S AT A HIGH RATE.

FIRST PROBLEM WAS THE CAR SHUDDERING AND JERKING. FORD GARAGE, REPAIR SOME TRANSMISSION SEALS, PROGRAMMING,REPLACED FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND ENGINE WIRE HARNESS REPAIR. SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR BEGAN TO LOSE ABILITY TO MOVE WHEN ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE RPM'S WOULD REV AND VEHICLE HAD LITTLE POWER TO MOVE. FORD GARAGE REPLACED CLUTCH AND DID PROGRAMMING. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THAT REPAIR, OUR CARE SUFFERED THE SAME SYMPTOMS IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR. IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AND WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN WHAT WE WILL GET BACK.

VEHICLE SUBJECT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 15N03 AND 16B02. AFTER TWO REPAIRS FOR RANDOM LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, WITH TWO REPLACEMENTS OF HIGH-VOLTAGE WIRE HARNESS, CAR CONTINUES TO DISPLAY "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING ON DASH AND LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD AS CAR HAS LOSS POWER IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES, FORTUNATELY WITHOUT INJURIES OR DAMGE. I AM RETURNING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR THIRD TIME TODAY FOR SAME ISSUE. FIRST REPAIR WAS IN BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER, 2015 AND SECOND REPAIR WAS DONE AT THE END OF APRIL 2016.
