TAKATA RECALL.ENGINE STALLS W/O NOTICE, INSIDE CAB REEKS OF GAS SMELL. FORD REMEDY IS TO KEEP GAS TANK 1/2 FULL. DOESN'T WORK. JUST FILLED UP AND STILL STALLED WHILE ENTERING INTO THE FREEWAY. I DID NOT USE CHEAP FUEL. VERY DANGEROUS AND THE REMEDY DOES NOT WORK. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AND THEY CONFIRMED IT'S 1 OF 10 FOCUS ON THE RECALL. IN OTHER WORDS 10% OF THEIR FOCUS HAVE THIS RECALL AND SYMPTOMS. I CALLED FORD CORP AND THEY GAVE ME 2 OPTIONS, 1)DRIVE CAR WITH 1/2 TANK OR MORE 2) DON'T DRIVE IT AT ALL. I NEED IT FOR WORK #2 IS NOT AN OPTION. FORD WILL NOT GIVE A LOANER CAR EVEN I TOLD THEM THEIR REMEDY IS NOT WORKING AND CAN CAUSE BODILY INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.

THE CUSTOMER CAME IN WITH A NO START CONCERN THAT REQUIRED THE VEHICLE BE JUMPED EACH MORNING. WE PERFORMED A WARRANTY BATTERY TEST AND DETERMINED THE BATTERY WAS NOT AT FAULT. AT THAT POINT WE PROCEEDED WITH DIAGNOSIS STARTING WITH TESTING THE DRAW ON THE SYSTEM. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT AND DISCONNECTING ANYTHING THAT MAY DRAW ON THE BATTERY WE STILL FOUND A 3 AMP DRAW PULLING FROM THE BATTERY. UPON INSPECTION WE FOUND THE AIR BAG DEACTIVATION LIGHT LIT ON THE DASH WITH THE KEY OFF. CHECKED THE WIRING DIAGRAM FOUND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS POWERED OUT OF THE BCM. UNPLUGGED CONNECTOR C2280G DRAW GOES AWAY. CHECKED ALL CONNECTORS AT BCM, FOUND C2280D WITH WASHER FLUID IN THE CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR BURNT FROM HIGH RESISTANCE. CHECKED CONNECTOR C137 AT THE WASHER PUMP FOUND THE WASHER PUMP LEAKING INTO CONNECTOR C137 AND PUMPING ALL THE WAY TO THE BCM ALONG CIRCUITS CRW23 AND CRW24. CONNECTOR C2280D IS NOT SERVICED AS A PIGTAIL, SO A COMPLETE HARNESS WILL BE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. A BCM AND WASHER PUMP WILL BE NEEDED TO RESOLVE THIS CONCERN IN ITS ENTIRETY

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO DINNER, A MESSAGE POPS UP AND STATES, "STEERING FAULT, SERVICE SOON". DURING THIS TIME, IT BECAME A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AROUND ON THE ROAD. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT TO DINNER. CONCERNED, I WANTED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THAT EVENING (1/8/2019) A NEW MESSAGE POPPED UP. IT STATED; "STEERING LOSS STOP SAFELY". THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ESSENTIALLY LOCKED IN ITS POSITION AND HARD TO MOVE AROUND. I GOT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $1,931.35 TO FIX. THIS INCLUDES ABOUT $1,200 FOR THE STEERING GEAR (ELECTRICAL), ABOUT $605 FOR THE LABOR, AND ANOTHER $100 FOR A NEW ALIGNMENT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS A 2014 WITH ONLY 55K ON IT. THERE IS NO REASON THE MANUFACTURE SHOULDN'T BE COVERING THIS. THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE. LOOKING ONLINE, I HEARD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FOCUS THAT IS SEEMS LIKE HASN'T HIT THAT "MAGICAL" NUMBER TO BE MADE A RECALL. THIS IS MY FIRST AND NOW LAST FORD I WILL EVER BUY.

WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN MANY TIMES FOR SHAKING AND VIBRATING THAT OCCUR AT ABOUT 1.75 RPM. THE VEHICLE FEELS AS IF IT IS SHAKING SO HARD THAT YOU LET OFF THE GAS AND ATTEMPT TO GAIN SPEED AGAIN BUT SLOWER. THIS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS TAKEN APART AND CHECKED AND THE VEHICLE STILL DOES THIS TO THE EXTENT THAT I USE A SECOND VEHICLE PURCHASED AND HAVE ONLY PUT 30,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE IN 5 YEARS.

AS I WAS DRIVING, COMING OFF I-70W RAMP ONTO A MAIN CITY STREET, MY CARS "ENGINE FAULT, SERVICE NOW" INDICATOR CAME ON THE SCREEN. MY CAR WAS STILL ON BUT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I MANAGED TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE RAMP THROUGH THE TRAFFIC. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART MY VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE. AFTER LETTING IT REST FOR A FEW MINUTES I TURNED THE KEY AGAIN WHILE GIVING THE ENGINE GAS. IT SPUTTERED ON AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ONTO THE STREET. HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT USUAL. REVED AT 400, I WAS STILL ONLY GETTING UP TO 20 MPH AFTER ABOUT 500 FT. IT DIED AGAIN ONCE I GOT UNDER THE UNDERPAID, ATTEMPTING TO MAKE IT THE REMAINING THREE MINUTES TO WORK. AFTER A FEW MORE ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN AND CREEPED THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK WITH MY HAZARDS ON. WHILE WORKING I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP FOR A TOW, SINCE MY HUSBAND CARRIES AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED THEY INFORMED US THAT IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AN THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER OUR WARRANTY. THEY ALSO THEN TOLD US THAT THE TOW WOULD NOT BE COVERED EITHER SINCE WE DID NOT USE THE APPROPRIATE COMPANY FOR ROADSIDE. MY HUSBAND PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SIX WEEKS AGO AND WE ARE NOW FACING A $1400 REPAIR AND A $300 DIAGNOSTIC AND TOW. AFTEVSOME RESEARCH MY HUSBAND FOUND THAT 2014 FORD FOCUS ST HAD A RECALL FOR THE EXACT ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THE FAULT MAY BE FOR MORE THAT JUST THE SPORTS ADDITION.

THIS IS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AS I'VE BEEN TOLD BY FORDS MECHANICS. WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR THEIR IS VIBRATION AND HESITATION WHEN SPEEDING UP. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR IT'S LUCK THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. IT HAS BEEN TO FORD FOR THIS PROBLEM A COUPLE OF TIMES. APPARENTLY IT'S THE ONLY FOR CAR WITH AN ELECTRIC SHIFTING TRANSMISSION
