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

HELLO, I'M SEEKING HELP FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT AS I AM AN OWNER OF A FORD 2014 FOCUS. I'VE HAD THREE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. USUALLY THE CAR BECOMES UNSTABLE/JERKY WHEN DRIVING WHICH SIGNALLED A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS AFTER TWO MORE CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE CEASED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWSON MD INNER CITY STREETS. THE FIRST BEING EXACTLY OVER TWO WEEKS AGO AND WHICH A NEW CLUTCH WAS INSTALLED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND TWO DAYS LATER CALLED THE DELEARSHIP STATING IT IS STILL NOT DRIVING RIGHT. I COULD FEEL SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I NOTICED SUDDEN JERKS AND WHAT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS WEARING OFF AGAIN. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE PERSON MIKE MAZOR THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THE ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS WILL HAVE TO GET USED TO MY DRIVING PATTERN AND TO GIVE IT 1000 MILES. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. TWO DAYS LATER WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE ROUTE 40, THE CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATED, MADE A LOUD ROARING SOUND AND WHEN I PUSHED ON THE PEDAL IT SEEMED AS IF IT WAS ON NEUTRAL AND DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. ALL I HEARD WAS THE ENGINE RERVE. EXTREMELY PANICKED AND SCARED I QUICKLY MOVED OVER TO THE YELLOW LINE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR INJURING MYSELF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DELEARSHIP CLOSEBY AS I FELT VERY UNSAFE DRIVING ANY FURTHER. I WAS INFORMED TODAY BY ALPACKER FORD THAT THEY WORKED ON THE VEHICLE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NO LONGER ON, THE CAR RUNS JUST FINE. THEY WILL BE DOING ONE MORE TEST TOMORROW TO SEE IF THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'M TOTALLY BAFFLED AS TO HOW THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF OR WHY THEY CAN'T FIND THE ISSUE. I'M AFRAID THIS CAR IS GOING TO CAUSE A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IF I KEEP DRIVING AND AND PLEADING HELP FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT TO GET FORD TO FIND THE FAULT AND FIX URGENTLY.

CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE MOVING 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A LOCAL STREET.. BATTERY WAS FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY. WHEN LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER WAS TOLD STARTER MOTOR WAS DEAD, THIS ALSO LATER CONFIRMED BY REPAIR TECHNICIAN AT ANOTHER FACILITY (RIVERSIDE SERVICE). STARTER MOTOR WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION. AT THE SAME TIME STARTER MOTOR WAS REPLACED, 2 IGNITION COILS WERE IDENTIFIED AS FAILED OR FAILING. IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS A TOTAL OF 4 IGNITION COILS HAVE FAILED. FORD HAS NOT IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, MERELY REPLACED BROKEN PARTS. THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED IN ANY WAY THE DANGEROUS CONDITION POSED BY MY CAR'S STALLING ON AN ACTIVE ROADWAY.

ON 8/24/2018 I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND FILLED THE CAR UP. AS I WAS LEAVING I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE AS I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD NEVER HEARD ANY NOISE FROM TURNING BEFORE. AS I DROVE HOME 4.7 MILES THERE WERE NO TURNS, BUT THE ROAD DOES WIND A LITTLE BIT. AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THE STEERING FELT A LITTLE "LOOSE" AND A LITTLE UNRESPONSIVE. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR WARNING SO I CONTINUED HOME WHERE I WOULD LOOK AT IT. WHERE THE ROAD CURVED I COULD HEAR A GRINDING SOUND AS TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL. NO SOUND WAS HEARD WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT. WHEN I GOT TO MY BLOCK I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE GRINDING NOISE WAS VERY PRONOUNCED. WHEN I TURNED LEFT ONTO MY STREET THE NOISE WAS JUST AS PRONOUNCED. WHEN IN MY DRIVEWAY I TURNED THE WHEEL WHILE PARKED AND THE GRINDING SOUND WAS AT THE SAME LEVEL. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT AND LEFT AND THE GRINDING NOISE WAS THE SAME AS WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I READ ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF IT BEING A STEERING ASSIST FAULT. I STARTED THE CAR AND CHECKED FOR WARNINGS AND LIGHTS AND THERE WERE NONE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL AND GOT THE SAME GRINDING NOISE. THE NEXT DAY I JACKED THE CAR UP TO VISUALLY INSPECT THE STEERING LINKAGE AND CV AXLE. NO PLAY IN THE CV, NOTHING VISIBLY BROKEN IN THE STEERING. I TRIED TURNING THE WHEEL WITH THE CAR ON THE JACK STANDS AND NOW THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. I REMOVED THE STANDS AND TRIED AGAIN TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT AND RIGHT, IT WOULD NOT TURN EITHER DIRECTION.

AFTER DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, 90+ DEGREES AMBIENT, I STOPPED THE CAR TO DISCHARGE A PASSENGER. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE POWER ASSIST HAD FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO PARK THE CAR WITH CONSIDERABLE MANUAL EFFORT. 2 HOURS LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER ASSIST STEERING WORKED NORMALLY. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECURRENCES. WHEN I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALER THE SERVICE REP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100 TO READ THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER.

WHY DON"T ANY WEBSITES SHOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR 2012-2016 FORD FOCUS (AND 2011 - 2016 FIESTAS) ??? THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE!!!! LAWSUIT SETTLED OCT. 2017, NOW IN APPEALS. SUPPOSED TO COVER THROUGH 7 YEARS 100K. PURCHASED THIS CAR USED FROM DUBLIN HYUNDAI. RENTAL 4+ YEARS ENTERPRISE. PRIOR SERVICE AT SALINAS FORD = TRANSMISSION "FLASHED", REPLACED TCM @ 15K AND CLUTCH @ 50K. DROVE FINE ON FLAT ROADS; STARTED SHUDDERING VIOLENTLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND ON HILLS. LOSES POWER AS WELL. NOT SAFE!!! LOCAL SONORA FORD WILL NOT SERVICE "DOESN'T MEET THE 250 RPMS "(CURRENTLY "ONLY" 192) LOCAL FORD WILL NOT FIX AND HYUNDAI DOESN'T WANT TO EITHER. LOCAL FORD GUYS TOLD MY 18 YEAR OLD TO "DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT" AND PUNCH THE GAS. THEY ALSO AGREE IT IS NOT SAFE BUT "THEIR HANDS ARE TIED". THEY SAY A NEW CLUTCH WILL MAKE IT OKAY FOR 15-20K MORE, BUT IT THE SHUDDERING WILL RE-OCCUR!! THESE CARS ARE NOT SAFE AND ARE LEMONS AND ALL SHOULD BE REPURCHASED BY FORD AND TAKEN OFF THE ROADS!

FORD (MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS) DOOR LATCH RECALL. I HAD ALREADY SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO ADD OUR VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST. FORD STARTED A RECALL REGARDING THE LATCH ON THEIR DOORS MALFUNCTIONING, CAUSING THEM TO JUST SWING OPEN AND NOT STAY CLOSED. OUR 2014 FORD FOCUS HAD THIS PROBLEM DESPITE US TRYING TO FIX IT AND CLOSE THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR MULTIPLE TIMES. FORD REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGING US BECAUSE OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT WE STILL HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11122231

MY CAR WOULD STALL WHEN I WAS TURNING OR DRIVING, BUT AT FIRST I COULD TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WOULD RUN JUST FINE. THEN MY CAR STARTED SHOWING ME THAT I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS WHEN I DIDN'T. I FOUND OUT THAT THE ISSUE IS THE GAS TANK, A $450 FIX. THESE PLASTIC GAS TANKS ARE COLLAPSING ON ITSELF, MY FRIEND HAD A 2012 FOCUS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE GAS TANK WAS SHRINKING AND THAT IT WOULD KEEP SHRINKING UNTIL THE GAS TANK WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!

NHTSA ODI 11122051

BACK PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LATCH CLOSED. WE DISCOVERED THIS 8/19 BECAUSE WE WERE DRIVING, AND WHEN WE STOPPED THE BACK DOOR OPENED AND THEN MADE THE SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING TO CLOSE, BUT IT NEVER DID. TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CLOSE THE DOOR BUT IT NEVER LATCHED SHUT. TRIED TO TURN THE LATCH ITSELF IN THE DOOR, THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. 1.5 MILLION CARS MADE BY FORD, INCLUDING 2013-15 FORD FOCUSES, WERE RECALLED IN 2016 FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR USED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THE BACK DOOR NO LONGER LATCHES. BARELY HAVE 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT CONSIDERED TO HAVE THIS RECALL AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DOOR/LATCH UNLESS WE PAY. EVEN THOUGH WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR PUBLIC MEDIA STATEMENT BACK IN SEPT. 2016. SO WE SPENT $680 TO REPAIR SOMETHING THAT THE FORD DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE FIXED BEFORE EVEN SELLING US THE CAR. THEY, APPARENTLY, WOULD PREFER US DRIVING IN A CAR THAT'S CREATING A HAZARD TO OURSELVES AND OTHER DRIVERS THAN ACTUALLY FIX THEIR MISTAKES AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED MY CLUTCHES ONCE BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DEALER SHIP STATES THAT THEY CANNOT HELP FOR MY CAR DOES NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR IT TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NIT EXCEEDED THE 150,000 MILES. I FEEL UNSAFE FOR MY VEHICLE SHUTTERS WHEN I DRIVE AND NOW HAS BEGUN TO LOSE POWER WHEN I PUSH ON THE GAS PEDDLE.

"DOOR AJAR" WARNING APPEARS FOR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR EVEN WHEN DOOR IS CORRECTLY CLOSED. LEADS TO A CASCADE OF OTHER ISSUES, BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE WOULD BE DOORS MAY ALL REFUSE TO LOCK AT VARIOUS TIMES. ALSO RUNS VARIOUS LIGHTS AFTER PARKING VEHICLE, MIGHT AFFECT BATTERY CHARGE. I BELIEVE THE DOOR CLOSED SENSOR IS FAILING, THIS IS THE LOCK MECHANISM THAT WAS REPLACED IN AN EARLIER RECALL. PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AT AROUND 33,000 MILES. MY DOOR LATCHES WERE REPLACED IN DECEMBER 2017 AT 21,000 MILES.

THIS MAY BE A DUPLICATE REPORT. I TRIED ON A DIFFERENT SERVER, BUT THE SAVED PAGE WAS BLANK. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A RENTAL CAR AGENCY. IT HAD ABOUT 25, 000 OR 30,000 MILES. WITH A SHORT TIME THE CAR STARTED 'BUCKING' WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH THE LOWER GEARS. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. LESS THAN ONE YEAR THE CAR STARTED 'BUCKING' AGAIN. THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AGAIN. BOTH TIMES AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. IN THE LAST MONTH THE 'BUCKING' HAS STARTED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME 'SYMPTOM' AND THE SAME PART. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANAGER THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY CAR THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM.

2014 FORD FOCUS HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING TWO TIMES. ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD I WAS ABLE TO COAST THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT. THE SECOND TIME IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BOTH TIMES TRANMISSUON FAULT SERVICE NOW FLASHED, THE CAR SHUDDERED UNTIL IT WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. I'VE HAD THE CLUTCH REPLACED/FIXED 2 TIMES NEITHER COVERED UNDER FULLY AND I WAS RESPONSIBLE TO PAY MY WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE HAD THE TRANDMISSION CONTROL MODULE FIXED ONCE AND NOW IN THE SHOP AGAIN, BUT WAS TOLD THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS, HAVEN'T SEEN THE CODES THAT POPULATED BEFORE. EACH TIME I DRIVE THAT CAR I LITERALLY RISK MY LIFE, TO HAVE A CAR JUST DROP RPM TO 0, SHUDDER AND JERK UNTIL I CAN FIND SOMEWHERE TO PARK IT. I DRIVE 40 MILES ONE WAY TO WORK TAKING UP TO 5 DIFFERENT FREEWAYS. AT WHAT POINT DOES MY SAFETY AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND ME BECOME AN ISSUE? WHEN I STALL OUT MID HIGHWAY? WHEN THE CAR JERKS TO A STOP AND SOMEONE SLAMS INTO ME? EACH TIME THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN, I AM TOLD THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, YET I FIND MYSELF BACK AGAIN WITHIN MONTHS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. LOSING POWER ON A CAR WHILE BEING IN FULL MOTION GOING UP TO 45 MPH, IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE. HAVING TO DRIVE A CAR THAT CONSISTENTLY SHAKES AND JERKS WHILE IN MOTION, IS NOT SAFE. HOW MANY MORE TIMES DOES THIS NEED TO OCCUR BEFORE SOMEONE REALIZES THIS MODEL IS NOT SAFE!

NHTSA ODI 11120125

I HAVE READ PLENTY REVIEWS AND EVEN CHECKED MY CREDIT REPORT WHERE FORD CARS OF THE 2014 HAS RECALLS ON THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL SYSTEM. WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR WE HAD TO GET THE CLUTCH REPLACE AND IT STILL HAD GAGING ISSUES. THE CAR CUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC AND I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE FACT THAT KT WOULD NEVER COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. WE EVEN CALLED A FORD AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP US. THIS FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

THE CAR "BUCKS" WHEN SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR THREE YEARS. IT WAS PURCHASED AS A USED RENTAL CAR WITH 30,000 MILES, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY. WITHIN THREE MONTHS I HAD A CLUTCH REPLACED. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, THE CLUTCH WAS REPLACED AGAIN. NOW, LESS THAN TEN MONTHS LATER, THE CLUTCH HAS GONE BAD AGAIN. (THAN 25,000 MILES). I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WILL NOT BE COVERED. I WAS TOLD THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CUSTOMER THAT HAS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE WITH CLUTCHES.

MY CAR HAS A SEVERE TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WHEN APPLYING GAS AFTER STOPPING. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED THAT IT NEEDS A NEW CLUTCH. I'M AWARE THAT FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ON THIS MODEL FOCUS DUE TO A DYSFUNCTION WITHIN THE DESIGN OF THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM, HOWEVER MY VIN NUMBER HAS NOT RECEIVED THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR SOME REASO AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT REPAIRED. . THE CAR IS NOT SAFE DUE TO A DEFECT.

NHTSA ODI 11118500

WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING GEARS. IT SHAKES REALLY BAD WHEN I'M GETTING UP TO 20 MPH THEN IT SOME WHAT STOPS. THE CAR WILL IDEAL REAL LOUD OR THE RPMS WILL GO UP HIGH FOR NO REASON WHEN I'M AT A STOP. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL GO UP HIGH WHEN I'M ON CRUSE CONTROL AS IF I'M PRESSING THE GAS DOWN (FAST AND ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND) BUT I AM NOT.
