Horn Assembly problems of the 2014 Ford Focus

I have had so much trouble with this car I am upside down on it. Now all the electrical stuff seems to be shorting. I was driving and my fuel gauge kept going to zero then back up to half a tank. Then my check engine light came on. My horn doesn't work which is is huge safety concern for me those are just the new issues I also have had the tcm replaced twice and it never made a difference to the car.

My 2014 doesn't have all those fancy safety features listed but my horn doesn't work. I never owned a vehicle that the horn has just stopped working. I thought it was a blown fuse but turns out it's another issue with the car on top of the previous recalls it has had. I can't even renew my car registration until this is fixed and it's a safety hazard. I can't even warn drivers when they are about to crash into me on the highway. Ford wants to charge an over the top price to look and fix the problem but there is not guarantee that it will even be completely fixed seeing as another Ford Focus owner I met in person and what I've read online have also has issues with their horn not working anymore. This should be under a recall with Ford.

Horn doesn't work or only intermittently when parked, moving in all situations or road conditions, or during locking/unlocking doors with remote. . Have had this problem for at least 2 years. Apparently from a web search, this is known problem for this model. . Have tried to fix it, checking the electrical connections, spraying wd40, checking and tightening the mounting bolts. Attempts to fix may only last a few days or hours. This is a vital safety component to reduce risks of crash and should be subject to a recall or repair or replacement of the horn assembly or wiring.

Horn stopped working. Took it to the Ford dealership. They charged me $67 to clean the erosion from around the connector. Two weeks later, horn stops working again. Took it to the Ford dealership and they stated the horn needs to be replaced. I was charged another $67. Never in my entire life had I ever had to replace a horn. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed by Ford. There are many other owners of the Ford Focus who have had this same issue. . Read more...

Horn goes in and out, and appears to be affected by speed humps. Causing a security risk. Backup camera fades from clear view, to no view, to an upside down view daily.

1. Clutch slips in transmission causing vehicle to stall or reach dangerous rpm's before switching into another gear. 2. Repair was denied by Ford stating that it wasn't related to the current recall but was the clutches that needed to be replaced. Clutches are going out due to the tcm that was recalled on the vehicle. 3. Horn has decided to stop working along with controls on the steering wheel due to a wiring issue with the vehicle. Fuses have been changed ensuring that it is a wiring issue. 4. Hazard lights as well as half the buttons on the dash including radio, etc. Have also decided to stop working due to a wiring issue in the vehicle. No hazards making it a risk and unsafe to pull vehicle off of road in case of an emergency. 5. Ford dealership that car was taken to stated all recalls were completed but when VIN is entered through Fords website it states that all recalls are incomplete. Ford sent me a notice for repairs on transmission stating it will be almost $1400 to replace clutches in transmission. There would be no problems with the clutches if there was never anything wrong with the transmission control module to begin with. Repairing the transmission should not be on the owner of these vehicles and Ford should be liable for the repairs to an issue that was their responsibility to correct from the beginning and was not corrected in a timely manner.

The horn in the car sometimes work and sometimes doesnt, the trunk does not open unless from inside.

Tried sounding the horn due to another vehicle running a red light in my immediate path. Horn was inoperative. Being a skilled technician, I troubleshot the issue down to the horn itself, as both the fuse and relay were serviceable.

Horn stops working randomly while driving or when just started. Horn sometimes won't work for days.

The horn stopped working most of the time. It very rarely works. Our local Ford dealership says its out of warranty and it will be $224 to replace it. Given the large amount of problems this vehicle has had, I suspect its a widespread problem.

Horn - began working intermittedly, then not at all. First noticed when locking and setting alarm, then while driving at normal speed or at a stand still.

Horn frequently goes intermittent for weeks at a time, this occurs while driving in both city and highway conditions and when the vehicle is parked. This has caused numerous near collisions as I am unable to make other vehicles aware of a situation as they try to merge in my lane. Replacement of the horn assembly has not resolved the issue, and testing by the dealer has numerous fault codes when the horn does fail indicating a short. Tpms sensor fault has now recently come on when actuating the horn and dealer is still trying to isolate the cause of this new issue.

My 2014 Ford Focus has had a myriad of problems from day one. First the trunk will pop open if driving more than 40 mph. My trunk popped open and I lost a 3,000 saxophone. The michigan state police has proof of my claim. Now trunk will not release. Constant transmission problems even with repairs, the car will lag, sputter and rolls backwards. The car will roll backwards when you stop for a red light or sputter when entering a roundabout. The gas guard will say you have 50 gallons but change to 11 after driving 2 miles. Bluetooth and horn does not work.

The horn quit sounding upon activation by the horn relay switch on the steering wheel. It does not sound when pressing the remote twice to confirm it's locked up. It does not sound when the alarm is activated. The fuse is ok. The horn relay does not click when horn relay switch on steering wheel is depressed. The wires are all intact and connected. I took it to a Ford dealer. They said it would cost $200-300 and need the car for 2 days. According to all the complaints and concerns about this issue on various websites, thousands of owners of Ford Focus have the same issue with the same response from the dealership.

2014 Ford Focus has a defective horn and does not sound, only clicks and lights flash, when pressing the key fob or the steering wheel. A 2012 Focus driven by a family member has the same problem. I could not warn another car that he was drifting into my lane and he almost hit my car. There should be a recall and Ford should fix the defective Focus horns that a lot of people are having problems with.

I bought the car used with around 28k miles. I have had to have the transmission serviced twice already, and it continues to act up intermittently. Symptoms include shuddering and jerking, especially in the first two gears, unexpected acceleration in both forward and reverse (throttle input gives different results in different conditions) failure to accelerate in a many circumstances: often reverse takes a few seconds to engage, and if you need to accelerate quickly, such as to avoid an accident or hazard, too heavy of an input causes the engine to rev very high but the car doesn't go anywhere. The unit also has delayed or "sticky" downshifts, especially in an emergency stopping situation. And over the first 3 years of ownership, fuel economy seems to be decreasing. The vehicle has been exclusively serviced by Ford dealers under my ownership. I understand what the transmission is, how it functions, and I drive accordingly, including trying to rev match shifts. It continues to act up mildly every day, and severely on occasion. It is both the newest and least trustworthy vehicle I've ever owned, and I expect an expensive and catastrophic failure before I've paid it off. In addition, the horn has failed several times and will now need to be replaced.

All since purchase in Jan 2014. Within a few months of new purchase: electrical issues and errors unknown to Ford, need for transmission swap, 2 or 3 recalls re transmission and door replacement, horn stopped working (while in 65mph traffic i95 and almost in an accident). Constantly in shop and continual issues with stalling (once, stopped in 65mph traffic on major interstate i95 in left lane), synch and phone system has never worked correctly. 3 weeks ago, after stopped at a traffic light in rush hour traffic in philadelphia, depressed gas pedal and went in total reverse! did this twice before completely turning car off and had to be towed.
