In June 2013, I was driving n on i15 (approx 82 miles from home. After using cruise control around 80mph, the speed limit changed to 65. As I tapped the brake to stop cc, my car almost stopped to a grinding halt. The car had 47000 miles. After I panicked for about a half hour because I am disabled, I finally put it in d & it worked. When I returned home, it literally stopped permanently in my driveway. I called a tow to take to Ford dealership. I paid for the tow and of course almost $200 to tell me the transmission needed repaired! this would cost around $3600! Ford has been ignoring me for years because I feel they should pay for towing, diagnostics, repairs and car rentals. I have received nothing. Not a letter from the dealership's owner, nothing. I bought this car with eight miles on the odometer & took care of it so it would last many years. Ford has treated me extremely unfairly & I'm still very angry about the money I had to spend! thank you.

There are two recurring problems that really concern me: 1) transmission/powertain light has flickered on-and-off and then goes off completely. Initially I assumed it was a fuse or electrical problem. There have been several episodes, the scariest to date on 2-20-12 the car seemed to "lose gears," shuttered a little, and suddenly felt it was going to stall out on a short incline. My 15 year old daughter (with learner's permit) was at the wheel. It was frightening as the car felt it would roll backward with traffic stacked up behind her. 2) brakes: on two ocassions since I have owned the car (3. 5 months) the brakes, when applied (normal fashion) completely went to the floor without functioning: there was nothing there. A couple of minutes later, and only after pumping the brakes a few times, did the "brake function return. " my mother had warned me about this - she also provided me with a file folder of all repairs she had made on the car. Twice; she had the master brake cylinder replaced! she complained to the Ford dealer in her hometown, who "brushed it off" and assured her there would be no further problems. In the last 3 weeks, the brakes failed again - and again, my 15 year old was at the wheel. I cannot tell you how frightening this was - if NHTSA is aware of multiple complaints about a design failure; why hasn't Ford issued a recall to make the necessary repairs?.

2007 Ford Focus 3 door w/auto transmission. 130,000 miles. Car is shifting in and out of gear. Rpm suddenly rises for no reason. Strong vibration on the hills. Mechanic replaced the overdrive sensor as it was throwing a code. Ford wants $3700 to replace with new transmission. I'm not convinced that it isn't a problem with the transmissions computer or wiring. There seems to be a lot of similar stories about these Ford Focus transmissions. Its not a well built unit. Ford knows these transmission are not reliable and should replace and remann them all!.
I have a 2007 Ford Focus. I was shopping and went to put my car in park and the gearshift fell apart in my hand! the whole thing disconnected, wires hanging out the bottom, no way I could put it back in by myself, so I was stranded until tow showed up. Waiting to find out if this falls under warranty or I will be paying out of pocket for repairs. Totally ticked off, even more so after doing research on the internet and finding out other people are having this problem with this car. When something like this happens, which obviously is not from abuse or neglect on the part of the driver, the manufacturer should be responsible for repairs. Why isn't there a recall in place so these problems can be addressed before the drivers end up stranded?!.
The throttle on my car continually gets stuck open. This has been happening repeatedly for the past three years. I have almost been in several accidents and am probably going to die in a car accident due to this. I go to brake and my car won't stop. Tonight, 2/24, I went to stop coming off the freeway and my car actually accelerated while I was braking. Ford has repeatedly refused to fix this even though you can look it up online and see that it happens to almost anyone who had the unfortunate luck of buying such a crappy car. Fix it before I die in a car accident. I don't have the money to fix it myself. It is becoming a more frequent incident. It has happened in 2010, 2011, the end of 2012 and just now.
