Car Will Not Start problems of the 2013 Ford Focus

We had he check engine light come. A check of the code showed a fuel delivery system problem. We also noticed that when trying to fuel the vehicle when placing the fuel nozzle into the fuel fill a rush of air would escape. After fueling the car would not start. Once we get the car started it would run rough for several miles. Also, the fuel gauge was wrong. The fuel gauge would show 1/2 tank but we ran out of gas. The mechanic had to replace the fuel tank, our mechanic had to replace the fuel tank, purge valve and associated hoses, fuel pump. Also, another problem arose with the instrument cluster. All of the gauges including the radio went blank and would not function. The mechanic had to disconnect the battery and reset the computer for the instruments and radio to begin working again.

This car experiences sudden loss of power leading to the inability to accelerate or even move the vehicle for varying lengths of time. This is left me stranded in dangerous situations three times. Twice I was in traffic (coming off the I-95 north and needing to merge my exit, then when stopped at a red light in a left turn lane) . Most recently the vehicle would not start up after being in a parked. In the latter episode jump-starts did not help. While the dash lights eventually came on, and the windshield wipers were able to move one to two times and then died, the engine simply would not turn over. Initial evaluations by the dealer for an engine light gave an "overspeed code" which was not relevant to driving conditions.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. While driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and shuttered. On several occasions, the vehicle failed to start. The cause of the failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired for the same failure. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 72,000.

Tcm updated 3 times die to cel. 4th car wouldn't start or even engine turn over. Towed to dealer, after 9 days new tcm placed in car. Back at dealer for another 7 days. Car driving sluggish and only getting 20mpg. Ford dealer claims nothing wrong. Car feels like a pickup truck.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. On several occasions, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced, but the failure recurred on nine separate occasions. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v813000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.

Driving on i80 west bound and my rpms shot up to 5,000/6,000. I proceeded to take my foot off the gas to let the transmission catch, however, when I put my foot back on the gas my rpms shot up again. My transmission had completely died. I had no ability to move forward. I managed to make it to the right hand shoulder from the left lane. I shut my car off once I reached the shoulder to see if that would help the problem. When I tried to start my car it would not turn on. I had dashboard lights but the car would not start. My car was still saying it was in drive when it was in park. My car ended up being towed to Ford and they told me I needed a new transmission control module and that they have had several Focuses come in with this problem in the last two to three weeks, so they are now keeping this part stocked. This could have been a very dangerous situation given that i80 is a very busy expressway and my car died while I was driving it.

Stopped in stop-and-go traffic on a major highway, when I attempted to accelerate again the vehicle flashed a warning which said "hill start assist not available" and the engine died completely. I lost all power to the wheels and lost power steering, was able to coast to the shoulder, where the car would not start. All warning lights appeared to come on, including seatbelt, check engine, traction control, etc. The car indicated it was in "drive", in spite of the fact that I had the gearshift in park. It would not shift gears or allow me to start the engine. After sitting for 30-40 minutes waiting for a tow truck, the car suddenly appeared to function normally. I drove home, and 10 minutes later, while parallel parking, the incident occurred again: backing into a parking space and attempting to pull back out, going uphill, the exact same sequence of events occurred ("hill start assist not available", loss of power and steering). This time the vehicle coasted backwards into another car. No injuries or damage. The 2013 Ford Focus cannot be trusted to be driven on the highway. I have read many reports online of other drivers having identical or very similar issues with hill start assist/transmission/traction control errors, loss of power, loss of power steering, and inability to shift gears or restart the car, with this error sometimes happening *while driving at highway speeds* resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. I do not feel safe driving this car. I feel less safe knowing that Fords with this problem waiting to happen are being driving every day by unknowing drivers. This is a safety issue of the highest magnitude. It is absolutely outrageous that Ford has issued no recalls.

I bought a 2013 Ford Focus hatchback on March 22, 2013, less than two weeks. All sudden my car died wouldn't start. I called Ford roadside assistance, the guy came and jump start my car 5-6 times in order to get car started, but the hood/ and dashboard had burning smells and it went dark completely, no lights display on dash, the signal light didn't even work too. I checked online, many people complaint Ford Focus has electrical wiring problem since year 2000, and it is continued using on year 2013 model, the wire cracking in insulation. Ford should recall cars to fix their design problems, but I believe government needs to step in before the big 3 motor manufacturers would take consumers seriously.
