Car Will Not Start problems of the 2014 Ford Focus

Power steering assist, failure: engine failure to start: power brake assist, failure: transmission control module, failure: clutch failure and shift roughness:. Car unuseable for three years without because of parts inavailability: this type even happened mutiple times because of the transmission control module failure. The first sign of problems was shuddring and rough shifting beginning with about 30,000 miles on the vehicle multiple trips to the Ford dealerships resulted in unsatisfactory action by Ford motor company to repair the problem the result was safety problems like stalling and losing power steering and brake assist in traffic. It displayed multiple system failure warnings when it failed, steering asist, brake assist, abs, transmission position light was in park while driving. We tried to get repairs done but they just kicked it down the road till we fought with the car to get 160,000 miles out of it because there was no other choice and they denied there was a problem. It was completely unserviceable beginning on the shown date because the clutch control and transmission control module have been faulty, it has started a few times but will not shift properly and the clutch is faulty because of the control module being bad. We paid to have the control module replaced when it became available, but the vehicle is not servicable because the clutch and flywheel are damaged from the module being faulty. This should have been a safety recall as soon as the problem was discovered, but it was hidden and the owners of these vehicles have had to deal with it over the last 10 years. Any of these cars on the road are just as dangerous as this one it. Is still at the shop 4 months after they tried to patch it awaiting the determination of whether a clutch recall will fix it or not. These owners of these cars are driving time bombs if they are not able to react to the problems listed in traffic.

3 times car would not start. All lights wipers radio and all gauges worked when turning key but car would not turn over. Happened when shopping had to have car towed home . After sitting for a day car would start.

For at least the last three years the vehicle experienced short periods of non-starting. In October, 2019 the car would not start period. Previous it was able to start after moving the shifter from park to drive and back and sometime using the remote start. The October issue required towing to north county Ford in vista, CA. After five days, it was determined the transmission had failed and needed repalcement. After replacement the non-starting issue resolved, but in the last three weeks it has returned. I have not had any issues while the vehicle is moving.

June 1, 2017: I took my 2014 Ford Focus st, with ~10,500k miles only 4 months out of warranty, to a dealership for an oil change and warranty recalls. June 2, 2017: the dealership informed me that while reprogramming the bcm, body control module, the computer was wiped and the car would not start. The dealership said they attempted to reprogram it again but did not work but that they had opened a ticket with Ford's technical support. The dealership provided a loaner car to me for the weekend. June 6, 2017: the dealership called to tell me they still had not received a fix from Ford and that Ford knew of the issue and had replied that they would provide an update within 7 business days. I was told to keep the loaner car until the work was complete. I called Ford's service line to attempt to escalate the issue. I was provided the case number, as referenced, and told to talk to the dealership's service manager. The service manager told me that unfortunately there was nothing his technicians could do but to wait for a fix from Ford. June 15, 2017: I contacted Ford service line again and the case was escalated to a regional manager. They informed me that Ford does not have a fix and that Ford has no timeline for a fix. The vehicle is still non-functional. Ford has told me they have no fix and no timeline for a fix. The dealership is waiting on Ford to provide a fix as it's a computer issue and the dealership cannot do anything to solve it.
