What 2,644 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford Focus RS

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. THE CAR HAS 143,000 MILES ON IT AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT FORD HAS GIVEN ONLY GOES TO 100,000 MILES. FORD WILL NOT FIX MY CARS TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING AND JERKING PROBLEMS. WHEN YOU GO FROM A STOP TO PUSHING THE GAS, THE CAR JERKS AND SHAKES THE ENTIRE CAR WHILE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TRIES TO SHIFT GEARS. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL DUE TO THE FAULTY CLUTCH AND ACTUATORS.

I PURCHASED MY FORD FOCUS 2014 WITH 40,000 MILES FOR $17,000, MID YEAR OF 2017. THE CAR DROVE PERFECTLY BEFORE ITS FIRST RECALL IN DECEMBER OF 2018. EVER SINCE THEN THE CAR HAS BROKEN DOWN AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD FOUR RECALL REPAIRS SINCE THE PURCHASE, I BELIEVE THE RECALLS ARE THE REASON IT NEEDS SO MANY ADDITIONAL OTHER REPAIRS. BESIDES THE CAR ITSELF I HAVE SPENT OVER $35,000 ON ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. I HAVE PAID FORD, MURRAY'S AUTO / ACIMA, ALL 4 U AUTO, FIRESTONE AND BEST TIRES FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE RECALLS AND OTHER PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES WITH THE CAR, MANY OF THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCING WAY MORE TROUBLESOME ACTIVITY WITH THE CARS WITH THE RECALL THAN WHAT IS STATED IN THE MAIL LETTER. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A SETTLEMENT REIMBURSEMENT OF A NEW CAR DUE MY UNSATISFIED EXPERIENCE WITH MY CAR. I WILL ATTACH ALL MY PAID AND ONGOING DEBT RECEIPTS FOR MY CAR'S MAINTENANCE. AFTER ONE OF MY RECALLS IN 2018 THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME IN EVEN WORST CONDITION, WITH ENGINE FAILURE AT THE WAKE FOREST NC LOCATION. I RECEIVED A DIAGNOSIS AT THE CARY CROSSROADS, NC LOCATION THAT SAID THE CAR WOULD NEED A $10,000 NEW ENGINE. I THOUGHT THIS WAS UNFAIR BECAUSE I HAD NOT HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS BEFORE THE RECALL, AND RESEARCHING ONLINE MANY DISSATISFIED CUSTOMER AGREED THAT THE SPECIFIC RECALL WAS CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE, AND MY ADVISOR AGREED THAT THE RECALL FAULT PART AND ENGINE COULD HAVE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED ONE ANOTHER ALTHOUGH REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT HAPPENED THEY DEDUCTED OVER $6,000.00 FROM THE ENTIRE ENGINE PRICE. I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE COST I HAD TO PAY BUT PAID THE COST BECAUSE I STILL HAD CLOSE TO 10,000.00 TO PAY MY BANK SECU FROM THE LEASE CAR LOAN. THE ALIGNMENT, RODS, AND BRAKES WERE ALSO A MAJOR EXPENSE I HAD TO PAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVEL FOUR LANE ROAD (AT 45MPH), THE CAR SHOOK AND TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING BADLY. LUCKILY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME. CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ONLY GOT 4 MILES DOWN THE ROAD AFTERWARDS AND IT SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY WENT OUT. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD US THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT SINCE IT WAS COVERED UNDER FORDS 150.000 MILE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT AFTER REPLACING THAT THEY DONE MORE TESTS ON THE CAR WHEN THEY SAID THE WHOLE TRANNY ALSO HAD TO BE REBUILT. FORD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES ON THE PARTS IN MY TRANNY BUT MINE HAD 13,000 MILES TOO MANY TO QUALIFY FOR BE COVERED. SO NOW I'M STUCK PAYING $2500 PLUS TAXES!!! I PAID $6,000 FOR THE CAR AND 1 WEEK LATER, I HAVE TO PAY ALMOST ANOTHER $3000. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FORD LOVER BUT NOT AFTER THIS. I'M DONE!

I STARTED MY CAR AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. TWO MINUTES AFTER DRIVING I WAS GOING 25 MPH ON A TOWN STREET AND MY TRANSMISSION FAULT LIGHT CAME ON. I LOST POWER AND CONTROL OF THE CAR, ALMOST GETTING HIT BY A LARGE TRUCK.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK HAS HAD CONCERNING SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO THE DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SINCE I BOUGH THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JANUARY 2015. WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR LURCHES MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY CAR ACCIDENTS AND TERRIFIES ME EVERY TIME I DRIVE.THE LURCHING HAS ALSO LOOSENED PARTS OF MY CAR AND FEELS LIKE PARTS OF MY CAR COULD FALL OFF AT ANYTIME. MY ENGINE ALSO HAS ISSUES AND I'VE HAD TO STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT LEAST TWICE NOW DUE TO THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. I HAVE NEVER FELT SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I'VE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES SINCE THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE CAR COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND THE EMPLOYEES KEPT TELLING ME THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A FORD CAR AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AT THE RED LIGHTS WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THEN MY DAUGHTER HAS TO PUT ON THE HAZARD (SHE IS 17) AND PUT IT PARK, THEN PRAY THE VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN. JUST HAD THE 2 RECALLS DONE HOWEVER WAS TOLD WE NEED BY A PURGE VALVE WHICH I FOUND ONLINE WITH THESE YEAR MODELS WHEN I LOOK UP 2014 FORD FOCUS SHUTTING DOWN DURING WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT. IT ALSO STRUGGLES TO GET IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. IT SHUTTERS AND JUMPS. ONCE YOU GET THE VEHICLE OVER 40-50 MPH ON THE ROAD IT FEELS OKAY BUT WHEN YOU HAVE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, GOOD LUCK. MY DAUGHTER IS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO WALKER FORD, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE HOWEVER ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE DRIVING?

FOR SOME TIME NOW I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET 2 RECALLS FIXED ON MY VEHICLE : 18V735 AND 16V643. WHEN I PREVIOUSLY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET FOR THE RECALLS. JUST YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE CAR THE REAR DOOR CAME OPEN BY ITSELF AND NOW WILL NOT CLOSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP (LOGANVILLE FORD IN MONROE GEORGIA) WHO TOLD ME 1. THAT THEY COULD NOT GET ME IN FOR THE REPAIR UNTIL NEXT WEDNESDAY (9/9) AND 2. THEY WOULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED FIRST THAT HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE FOR A WEEK WITH A DOOR THAT WOULD NOT CLOSE? AND SECOND THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID TO MY VEHICLE , THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FORD AND / OR THE DEALERSHIP NEEDED TO PROVIDE A LOANER OR A RENTAL (AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE) UNTIL THE SAFETY REPAIRS CAN BE ADDRESSED AND MADE. I FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT SAFETY RECALLS SHOULD TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER OTHER REPAIRS AS IT IS A HAZARD AND SOMEONE CAN GET HURT. BOTH FORD AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE BOTH DENYING USE OF A LOANER AND I AM YET TO HEAR BACK ABOUT A RENTAL AT THE MANUFACTURERS EXPENSE AND I DO NOT THINK IT WILL COME TO FRUITION. I AM GOING TO REITERATE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I DID TO MY VEHICLE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RECALL THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IF THE LATCHES CAN BE REPLACED ON ALL 4 DOORS AND THE FUEL TANK DEFORMATION CAN ALL BE REPAIRED IN A FEW HOURS I HAVE NO PROBLEM WAITING ON THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER WE KNOW THAT THESE REPAIRS NEVER TAKE LESS THAN ONE DAY, ALL REPORTS I READ SAY IT MAY TAKE UP TO 4. THAT SAID, FORD NEEDS TO PROVIDE EITHER A LOANER OR A RENTAL AT THEIR EXPENSE, NOT MINE. THIS IS MY LAST STOP TO GET CLOSURE IN THIS CASE, I HAVE SPOKEN TO FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE AND AM NOT GETTING ANYWHERE, MY NEXT STOP WILL BE TO THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL NEWS.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR IT WOULD NOT PULL HILL WHEN DRIVING, HAD TO PULL OVER AND ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE IT WAS LOW. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAD TO ADD FLUID TO THIS VEHICLE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM OR NOT. VEHICLE DO NOT HAVE THE POWER IT HAD WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT

NHTSA ODI 11353053

FORD DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE/ SHUDDER EVEN THOUGH IT IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE "IT HAD NOT FAILED BAD ENOUGH YET". THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND SAID THE PART WAS FAILING. IF THE PART HAD NOT FAILED BAD ENOUGH YET, THEN I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FEES.

NHTSA ODI 11352354

PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WAS SLIPPING, BUCKING, JERKING, AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSIONS CAUSED DELAYED ACCELERATION AND DELAYS IN DOWNSHIFTS, CUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC.

I FOUND OUT THAT FORD ADMITTED THEIR 6 SPEED SPORT TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST FORD FOR THIS, BUT WHEN I NOTIFIED FORD OF MY INTENT TO JOIN THE CLASS (WHICH WAS REQUIRED), FORD DID NOT RESPOND. WHEN I CONTACTED THE CLASS LAWYER, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT INCLUDE ME BECAUSE I HAD ONLY HAD THE TRANSMISSION CALIBRATED TWICE BEFORE THE DEADLINE. (3 TIMES WERE REQUIRED) IT IS STILL RUNNING POORLY. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX IN DEC. 2018, SO IT IS VERY LIKELY THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR THE SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT LEAST ONCE BETWEEN (NEW) 2014 AND 2018. I AM WONDERING, "WHY" WHEN MULTIPLE MODELS OVER SEVERAL MANUFACTURING YEARS HAVE THIS SAME TRANSMISSION, HAS THERE NOT BEEN AN OFFICIAL RECALL?

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, AND MY CAR LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT LET THE CAR COAST TO THE NEAREST SIDE STREET. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS GOTTEN TO THIS PARTICULAR DEGREE. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND AS I WAS LEAVING THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR HESITATED AND TOOK A WHILE BEFORE THE SPEED WOULD PICK UP. IT ALSO DID SOME WEIRD THINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN, BUT KNOW THAT IT SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. AFTER THIS FIRST INCIDENT, I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED FORD AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CAR HAD TWO EXTENDED WARRANTIES AND I SHOULD TAKE IT INTO A AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED AND THAT IF IT WAS A TRANSMISSION MODULE ISSUE OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT, IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THE REPAIRS WOULD BE DONE AT NO COST. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP IN TENNESSEE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAD AN BRANDED TITLE AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PUT THE CAR ON THE MACHINE UNLESS FORD CORPORATE CALLED THEM DIRECTLY WITH AN AUTHORIZATION CODE. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE BACK AND EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND THE AGENT PUT ME ON HOLD AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND GAVE HIM ALL THE INFORMATION HE NEEDED TO START THE WORK ON MY VEHICLE. ABOUT THREE HOURS LATER, I WAS CONTACTED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE SOMEONE FROM FORD HAD CONTACTED HIM AND SAID THAT MY WARRANTY WAS NO GOOD. I EMAILED THE CEO AT FORD CORPORATION, AND AFTER TWO WEEKS, STILL HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM HIM. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING AS BEFORE, WHICH IS THAT MY CAR HAS TWO EXTENDED WARRANTIES AND THE WORK SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BECAUSE ONE WARRANTY COVERS THE TRANSMISSION WHETHER IT HAS A BRANDED TITLE OR NOT. NOW, I HAVE A CAR SITTING UP, UNNECESSARY EXPENSES AND A DENT IN MY BACK BUMPER.

I WAS DRIVING HOME WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE, MY VEHICLE IS STARTING TO STALL AND I KEPT PUNCHING THE GAS AND IT WAS LIKE THE KEY WAS OFF. LUCKILY, EVEN THO I WAS IN TRAFFIC, I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND THERE WAS A SHOULDER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON. YOU CAN TURN IT OVER AND IT QUICKLY STALLS. WHEN I GOT MY VEHICLE TO BE CODE READ, IT SAID ,'NO FUEL DELIVERED TO THE FUEL RAIL.' I COULD HAVE CAUSED OR BEEN IN A HORRIBLE WRECK IF LUCK HAD NOT BEEN THAT I WAS CLOSE TO A SHOULDER TO PULL OVER AT. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING IN MULTIPLE LANES THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

BACK AT THE END OF JUNE, FIRST PART OF JULY I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IT WAS OFF BUT SOME STUPID "MY KEY CAME ON AND NOT IT REGULATES MY SPEED AND VOLUME. I AM NOT PAYING OVER $200 TO HAVE IT REMOVED. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE CLUTCH ON MY TRANSMISSION IS OUT AND FORD WON'T REPLACE IT FOR FREE AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD FIX IT FOR FREE SINCE THEY CAN'T BUILD GOOD TRANSMISSIONS.
