What 2,584 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford Focus Bev

WELL ON FEBRUARY 18, 2017 I PURCHASED A 2014 FORD FOCUS SE FROM LEWIS TOYOTA IN TOPEKA, KS. THE CAR I TRADED IN, (2004 LEXUS) I TOLD THEM HOW UNHAPPY I WAS BECAUSE THE GENTLEMAN WHO SOLD IT TO ME SAID HE DID A CAR FAX ON IT BUT DID NOT. I SHOULD HAVE ASKED FOR A COPY. THERE WAS A MAJOR RECALL ON IT! SINCE 2011. I PURCHASED IT IN 2016. WELL THE 2004 FORD FOCUS HAS AN OPEN RECALL. IT IS AGAINST THE LAW SO I WAS TOLD TO SELL A CALL WITH AN OPEN RECALL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE SELLERS ATTENTION. HE SAID IT HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF OR THAT IT WASN'T THAT BAD. WELL, DOOR LATCH? DRIVER'S DOOR COMING OPEN WHILE DRIVING. PROVEN INCIDENTS. I CALL THAT A PROBLEM.

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.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MY FAMILY AND I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD 2014 FORD FOCUS THAT WE BOUGHT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT TO AVOID THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH USED CARS. 2 WEEKS AGO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER AND THEN EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND QUICKLY BEGAN TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED WE WERE NOT THE ONLY ONES. EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE FOCUS TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP STATE THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND SUGGESTED WE DRIVE MORE AGGRESSIVELY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IMMEDIATELY WE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AS THIS IS CLEARLY A BIGGER ISSUE THAN JUST MY CAR. FMC STATES THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PROVE THAT ANYTHING HAPPENED AND THERE ARE NO CODES. NO CODES=NO PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REFUSED TO INVESTIGATE ANY FURTHER. THEN NEXT TIME MY CAR STOPS COULD BE IN FRONT OF ANOTHER CAR AND CAN KILL SOMEONE. FORD IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE AND IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND MANY OTHER FAMILY'S LIVES IN DANGER. PLEASE HELP ME. DO A SEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THE FOCUS AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. PLEASE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. IT LURCHES FORWARD, STOPS RESPONDING AND SHUDDERS.

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.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT APPEARS EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS. AT LEAST ONE TIRE NEEDS TO BE INFLATED, SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONE TIRE NEEDS TO BE INFLATED. THE FORD DEALER INFLATES THEM USUALLY. TIRE PRO HAS ALSO INFLATED TIRES. FORD DOESN'T TELL ME WHAT PROBLEM IS, THEY JUST KEEP INFLATING THE TIRES. LIGHT APPEARS WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN ON A CITY STREET, HIGHWAY, TURNING AND STATIONARY. ALSO, VEHICLE SHUDDERS ON ACCELERATION FROM THE MOMENT I PURCHASED VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT. VEHICLE DOESN'T SHUDDER AS BAD AS BEFORE BUT STILL HAS ISSUE.

SHUTTERING AND JERKING OF TRANSMISSION

NHTSA ODI 10956158

ENGINE VIBRATES ON BLOCK AND IS VERY NOTICABLE WHILE SITTING IDOL AT STOP LIGHT IN EITHER DRIVE OR NUETRAL. I HAD TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND LAST TIME THEY REPLACED STABLIZERS THAT THE ENGINE SITS ON AND IT DID HELP A LITTLE BUT STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT IT IS THE BEST THEY CAN DO. THE PROBLEM BECAME NOTICABLE ABOUT 10,000 MILES INTO OPERATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FOR MY 2014 FORD FOCUS. I HAVE HAD IT WORKED ON OR REPLACED THREE TIMES, AND AM STILL EXPERIENCING ISSUES. AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL IS VERY SLUGGISH, AND THEN IT STARTS EXPERIENCING SUBSTANTIAL CLUTCH SHUDDER (SHAKING WITH SHIFTING) WITHIN A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME, AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT PROPOSED ANY ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS. I SEE THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT ABOUT THIS, AND ALSO A RECALL. ATTEMPTING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEXT STEPS SHOULD BE TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN STARTING FROM A STANDING STOP AND WHEN ADVANCING THROUGH THE GEARS. VEHICLE WILL DRIFT FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHEN SETTING ON A SLOPE AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKE BUT BEFORE APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT IS VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER REFUSES TO FIX THE CAR UNDER WARRANTY.

MY TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY,HESITATES TO GO, AND JERKS WHILE SHIFTING. I TOOK IT TO MT DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS WITHIN THE SPECS OF FORDS RECENT REPAIR TO THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS RECALLED. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE! THIS ISSUE STARTED IN APRIL OF 2014 AND HAS CONTINUED EVEN AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR.

MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 57K MILES AND THE VEHICLE FLUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IT DOES NOT SPEED UP NORMALLY. I FEAR THAT WHEN SWITCHING LANES OR LEAVING A STOP SIGN/RED LIGHT I COULD POSSIBLY GET REAR ENDED DUE TO THE CAR NOT SPEEDING UP LIKE IT SHOULD. IT SHAKES AND RATTLES WHEN TRYING TO TAKE OFF AS IF IT DOESN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. WHILE DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL IS ALSO MAKES A LOUD NOISE. WHEN ON HIGHWAY, IT WON'T SPEED UP AT TIMES OR IT GOES WAY BELOW SPEED LIMITS. CARS HONK THEIR HORNS AT ME AS IT APPEARS THAT IM NOT TRYING TO GO ANYWHERE. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 09/2016.

OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, THE VEHICLE DISPLAYS "STOP SAFELY NOW" AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHUT OFF IMMEDIATELY AFTER OR SOON AFTER THE MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED AND THE CAR HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS OCCURS AT LOW CITY SPEEDS (20-30 MPH) AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SPEEDS (60-70 MPH) LEAVING THE DRIVER AND IT'S OCCUPANTS SITTING VULNERABLE TO BEING HIT BY MOVING TRAFFIC. THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHILE BRAKING TO SLOW OR STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 15-20 TIMES OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS. WE HAVE BROUGHT IN THE CAR FOR SERVICE FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM 3-4 TIMES EACH TIME BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS (HARNESS, LOOSE CONNECTIONS, FAULTY CIRCUITS, ETC.). NO FIXES TO DATE HAVE PERMANENTLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. USUALLY, THE PROBLEM IS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO STOP, IT'S PLACED IN "PARK" AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, IT CAN BE RESTARTED AS NORMAL. HOWEVER, SEEING AS THOUGH THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AT ANY SPEED, TAKING THE WORKAROUND STEPS DESCRIBED IS UNACCEPTABLE ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT INTERSECTIONS WHERE CAR OCCUPANTS CAN BE STRUCK AT ANY MOMENT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC GIVEN THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE LE TRANSMISSION SLIPS DURING TAKEOFF FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD THEN FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL. ATTEMPTS TO CHANGE DRIVING HABITS HAS NO EFFECT. IT FEELS UNSAFE WHEN TRYING TO TURN FROM A STOP. THIS OCCURRED MOSTLY DURING CITY DRIVING IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING DURING MERGING INTO FREEWAY TRAFFIC. *TR

SINCE NEW, THIS CAR SURGES, JUMPS, AND STALLS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN STARTING FROM STOP. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME BUT OCCASIONALLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING FAST MOVING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THE CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WHEN ENTERING FAST MOVING TRAFFIC FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I BELIEVE SEVERAL MODELS OF THE 2014 FORDS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT DEFINITELY HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT I BELIEVE THERE MAY ALSO BE A FUEL PROBLEM, PERHAPS THE FUEL PUMP. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS PROBLEM KILLS SOMEONE. CAN?T WE REQUIRE FORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? I HAVE HAD THIS CAR IN TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TRYING TO GET IT FIXED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ONE FORD EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT FORD WOULD ONLY FIX THE TRANSMISSION IF IT IS MAKING A LOUD GRINDING METALLIC SOUND. I HAD THE CAR TESTED AT ONE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION FAILED THEIR TEST AND THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND WHEN I CAME TO PICK IT UP THEY SAID IT HAD PASSED THEIR TEST THIS TIME AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. THE EMPLOYEE THAT HAD TOLD ME THEY WOULD FIX MY CAR WAS NO LONGER WITH THEM. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATES WHEN THE CAR STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SO I WILL GIVE YOU MY BEST ESTIMATE ON YOUR FORM. AS AN INDIVIDUAL, I OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO POWER TO REQUIRE FORD TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND FIX MY CAR. YOU ARE THE ONLY ENTITY WITH THIS POWER. WON?T YOU PLEASE REQUIRE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
