TRANSMISSION FAULT: AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICHLE BEGAN TO SWERVE AND SLOW DOWN. AS I TRIED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL I ATTEMPTED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE FLASHERS AND CARS BEHIND ME WENT AROUND. TRANSMISSION FAULT APPEARED IN THE INFO SCREEN. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2014 AND HAS ALWAYS HAD A STUTTER AND SHAKE DURING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. ALSO WHEN PUTTING IT IN GEAR A GRINDING SOUND IS HEARD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY "OH IT JUST TAKES GETTING USED TO". THEY HAVE ALSO CLAIMED TO "RESET" IT. WITH THE CAR STOPPING AND SWERVING I WAS VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO BE IN A SEVER ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT NEAR THE TURNPIKE AND LARGE SEMIS AND HEAVY TRAFFIC WERE AROUND. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE ROADSIDE AND CALL FOR HELP. FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON TRANSMISSION UNTIL 100,000. BUT THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP. SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS AND LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN FILED. (SEE ATTACHMENT)

TRACTION CONTROL IS A HAZARD, WHEN YOU NEED POWER TO THE WHEELS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES YOU HAVE ZERO POWER. WHILE GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE WITH SNOW ON THE SURFACE THE WHEELS SPUN BRIEFLY AND ENGAGED THE TRACTION CONTROL, LOST ALL POWER TO THE FRONT WHEELS AND HAD TO BACK DOWN. TALKING WITH THE DEALER THEY SAID IT IS NORMAL, NOT SAFE, BUT NORMAL. NOW, YOU CAN TURN THE TC OFF BUT REQUIRES MULTIPLE STEPS WITH PROGRAMMING SWITCH IN THE STEERING WHEEL, PLUS, EVERY TIME YOU TURN VEHICLE OFF IT RESETS TC TO ON. THERE NEEDS TO AN EASY ACCESS SWITCH TO TURN TC OFF WHILE DRIVING OR AT THE VERY LEAST, FORD NEEDS TO REPROGRAM THE VEHICLES SO WHEN YOU TURN TC OFF, IT STAYS OFF UNTIL YOU TURN BACK ON. LOOSING POWER IN TRAFFIC ON A HILL COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND AT THE BEST CAUSES YOU TO BACK DOWN. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN DECEMBER 2015. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT . IT SHUDDERS WHEN TAKING OFF AND GOING UP A HILL. IT ALSO ROLLS BACKWARD BY ITSELF. IT IS DEFINITELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT ADDITIONAL WARRANTY WITH IT. I WAS JUST INFORMED WHEN I PICKED IT UP AFTER BEING REPAIRED THE LAST TIME THAT FORD FOCUS HAS A JUNK TRANSMISSION AND WILL GOT OUT AGAIN. I REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE IT WAS PURCHASED USED BUT THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE SAFETY. IT ROLLED BACKWARDS ON A SLIGHT HILL EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. IT WAS A CITY STREET. LUCKILY, THE PERSON BEHIND ME WAS NOT TOO CLOSE AND THE I HAD STOPPED A LITTLE WAYS FROM THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME, BECAUSE I HAD TO GAS IT TO GET IT TO QUIT ROLLING BACKWARDS.

MY CAR WAS NOT FIXED. THE CAR CONTINUES TO HESITATES OR PUTTERS WHILE DRIVING. I WAS WONDERING IF THE GOVERNMENT COULD FILE A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FORD CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I TALKED TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT CORPORATE OFFICE AND THAT PERSON SEEMS TO NOT BE CONCERNED. HE TOLD ME THAT THE ONLY OPEN RECALL WAS CONCERNING THE DOOR LATCH. RECALLS WERE VIN SPECIFIC. HOW OUTRAGEOUS IS THAT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM A FAITHFUL FORD PURCHASER. FORD SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS PRODUCT. CAN AN RECALL BE REISSUED DUE TO LACK OF EFFECTIVENESS? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND RESPONSE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE HESITATES/STALLS WHILE DRIVING. ROUGH ACCELARATION.THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 65MPH AND NOTICE THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING WEIRD WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, WHEN I SLOWED DOWN THE CAR WOULD SHAKE WHEN TRYING TO GAIN SPEED AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF OF THE FREEWAY PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO LOOK THE CAR OVER. TURNED OFF THE CAR TO CALL SOMEONE, TRIED TURNING THE CAR BACK ON WITHIN 5 MINUTES AND THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY LOCKED DOWN, HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TOW TO DEALER CAR HAD 21,000 MILES ON IT. DEALER STATED THE ISSUE WOULD BE FIXED SOME TYPE OF UPDATE NEEDED DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE UPDATE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER STATES EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY. THE CAR STILL HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR MY TEEN DRIVER BUT I AM AFRAID TO LET HIM DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE THE CAR IS. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH HOW THIS CAR OPERATES ON ACCELERATION. *TR

I CONTACTED FORD LOCAL AND CORPORATE. FORD CORPORATE TOLD ME THAT RECALLS WERE VIN SPECIFIC. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS CONCERNING. I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PUTTERING CAR. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A RECALL PREVIOUSLY AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIX. THE GENERAL MANAGER CALLED ME IN RESPONSE TO MY NOT BEING SATISFIED. HE LEFT A MESSAGE. I DID NOT RETURN HIS CALL. RECENTLY, I GOT ANOTHER RECALL CONCERNING DOOR LATCH. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THAT RECALL. THE PREVIOUSLY RECALL WITH THE SWITCH WAS NOT FIXED PROPERLY. NOW MY CAR DEFROST SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. SOMETIMES MY SEATBELT WON'T BUCKLE. WHY WANT FORD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY CONCERNING THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM AN AVID FORD BUYER. PLEASE DOCUMENT MY CONCERNS CONCERNING BY ENGINE STALLING, DEFROSTER AND SEATBELT. I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE 8 RECALLS FOR THE 2014 FORD FOCUS. I RELAYED THIS TO FORD.

I FILED A COMPLAINT UNDER THE MN LEMON LAW DUE TO REPEATED TRANSMISSION ISSUES ON MY CAR. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT IS QUITE NOTICEABLE THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, BUT AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING A VERY SENSITIVE MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WILL CAUSE A SHUDDER FEELING AT SHIFT. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO NORTH COUNTRY FORD IN COON RAPIDS, MN ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE DATES WERE 8/27/15, 10/16/2015, 2/18/16 AND 8/21/16. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE ISSUE AND MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A REPEATED PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AND THAT IT COULD BE COSTLY TO ME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (NEW), I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE REPAIRED TO AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEAL DURING THE 3 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT - ONCE, THEY REPLACED/REBUILT THE CLUTCH, TWICE FOR UPDATES TO THE COMPUTER, AND A SEPARATE TIME FOR THE TIRES AND WHEEL WELL (THE DEALERSHIP SAID SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WERE CAUSED BY UNEVENNESS IN TIRES, THE WHEEL WELL ALSO NEEDED REPAIR AFTER MY TIRES WERE ROTATED). THE CAR CONSISTENTLY STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO STOP, SUCH AS AT A YIELD, MERGE, STOP SIGN, STOP LIGHTS, OR FROM SLOWING DOWN. IT SHAKES, JERKS, STUTTERS, MAKES A CREAKING METAL SOUND, AND MOST CONCERNING, STALLS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO LEARN MY DRIVING STYLE, HOWEVER, THREE YEARS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL MAINTENANCE. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND TIRES ROTATED REGULARLY, IN ADDITION TO THE INSPECTION DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS FROM A SLOWED OR STOPPED POSITION, THE CAR SHOULD ACCELERATE, BUT IT STALLS. IT CONSISTENTLY STALLS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. THIS IS NOT SAFE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. I HAVE CONTINUED TAKING IT FOR REPAIRS TO A FORD AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP ONLY, LEAVING THE VEHICLE FOR DAYS AT A TIME, AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. ADDITIONALLY, THE MILEAGE I GET WITH THE CAR IS LOWER THAN EXPECTED AND A FORD EMPLOYEE ASSERTED TO ME IT IS DUE TO THE ENGINE ISSUES.

FROM THE FIRST WEEK I HAD THE CAR SOMETHING HAS BEEN WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT JERKS AND DOESN'T ACCELERATE LIKE IT SHOULD, MAKES A HORRIBLE CRUNCHING SOUND. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN IN THE TURNING LANE AND HAD AMPLE ROOM TO TURN BEFORE A CAR GOT TO ME BUT THE CAR JERKS AND STALLS SO THAT I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE IT HAS NO POWER. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK, SAID THEY "COULDN'T REPLICATE" WHAT I REPORTED. IT DOESN'T DO IT EVERY TIME BUT IF THEY REALLY DROVE IT FOR A WEEK, IT WOULD HAPPEN. EVERYONE WHO EVER RIDES IN THE CAR WITH ME ASKS WHY IT CHUGS LIKE IT DOES. I'M GOING TO GET INTO A WRECK ONE DAY BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE MY TURN BUT THE CAR STALLS AND CHUGS SO MUCH THAT IT TAKES MUCH LONGER THAN IT SHOULD TO GET SAFELY INTO WHERE I AM TURNING. IT MAKES ME PICK A DATE BELOW, BUT THIS IS A SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK FOR 3 YEARS OCCURRENCE.
