Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2014 Ford Focus

I serviced my Focus on 5/29/19 for recalls. They performed a multi point inspection. Everything normal. 6/09/19, I was driving down city street 40mph driving straight the car down shifted suddenly and a warning " transmission faulty, service now" came on. I was able to drive it home , the car wouldnt shift into a higher gear. I attached both services done . After the second service was done to my vehical it still shuddered when accelerating. 6/29/19 this occured twice the same day, I was waiting at an intersection making a left hand turn into a gas station, when it was safe to turn, I let my foot of the brake and my car inched forward while I hit gas and my car did not move, I was nearly hit both times , the last second with my foot on the gas all the way down to the floor, the car jerks into gear. Ive called the dealership about fixing this issue , ive left messages with no call back, I finally got a service call set but not until July 30th. This has now occured almost everyday since 6/29/19. The car does not always do this , it seems to only do it if im below a half a tank , or the first 60 miles on a full tank. I fear for my safety driving this car that when I hit the gas the engine will just rev u[ and not move and get hit. The car always had a shudder when accelerating since we purchased it 1/12/16, but the sales person insisted with new fuel saving system that it was completely normal. I didnt have any major issues besides the shudder when accelerating, and when I would start my car up the first time after filling up, until I got the recall fixed, now ive had nothing but issues.

I have a 2014 Ford Focus. I had issues with the gas tank filling starting at the end of 2018. I also stalled out on the highway prior to this. I informed the dealer of this issue prior to the completion of the recall which is associated with this defect (safety recall notice 18s32 /NHTSA recall 18v-735). The dealer completed the software update related to the recall. The gas tank still exhibited issues filling (which only emerged around the stalling � this is related to the recall). The next day after the software update was completed, I received a p1450 error code related to an evap cannister error. According to the dealer, the repair associated with this should have been covered under the recall. However, the dealer (who has been extremely helpful) stated that Ford was unwilling to provide reimbursement to this for this repair. Ford, on their website states, �dealers will inspect and replace the canister purge valve, carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel delivery module, as necessary. There will be no charge for these services. � further efforts to speak to Ford directly about this have been unsuccessful. The dealer stated that this is a technical issue with billing that Ford refuses to address. As a result, I have had to replace the evap cannister at my own expense ($331. 39). The p1450 code came back on after this repair. Therefore the issue is still not resolved. I have been told that any further recall related repairs will be at my expense because Ford refuses to provide appropriate reimbursement. The dealer expressed that they were very frustrated with the situation.

(1) I scheduled service at darcars Ford lanham MD for 9/11/18 for poor driving & extremely poor gas mileage (was filling up about 2x/week instead of 1x/2 week). Car had 53,166 miles, & no warning lights ever came on. Darcars did a tune-up which did nothing to improve the gas mileage. (2) I scheduled service for 9/18/18. Darcars found problem: seized fuel canister that damaged the fuel pump and caused fuel tank to implode. All parts were replaced. (3) after repairs, gas mileage was better but not back to normal. Used to get > 30 ml/gal, & when I filled up, display always said >400 ml to empty. Now I get 27-28 ml/gal, and after fill-up display says ~330 ml to empty. (4) I received NHTSA recall 18v-735 in 12/18. It indicated there was no fix yet. (5) scheduled an oil change for 1/30/19 and asked darcars for status of recall. Darcars said there was a fix: parts replacement & reprogramming. Darcars determined that parts previously replaced were ok, so only reprogramming was done. (6) real problems began 3/1/19. Car suddenly drove extremely poorly while on highway. It would hesitate, & when I gave it a little more gas, it lurched & drove erratically. It then stalled out completely. I tried to restart car a few times & after a few minutes it started. Car had ~3/4 tank of gas and no warning lights ever came on. I scheduled service on 3/5/19. Darcars added or replaced a transmission module. (7) no change in gas mileage, & latest serious problem happened 3/21/19. While on highway, car stalled out completely with no warning. Gas tank was near full, & no warning lights ever came on. Tried to restart car several times but it wouldn't start. Called for a tow. Tried to restart car couple more times while on phone with aaa but no luck. ~10 minutes or so later, while waiting for tow truck, tried to start car again & it started.

I have a recall for possible deformed fuel tank. It is making my car stall at any time to include using cruise control or stopped at a light. The issue is known by my local Ford dealership. Their advice is to keep the gas tank filled above half but I have stalled after driving 30 miles after filling up. I had them inspect my car and they said everything looked fine. I asked about the stalling and they said wait for the software. I guess they expect that I walk to work until they fix the issue. I had a local mechanic look at it and they recommend I wait for the recall because they are unsure if the part will fix the problem without the software. I already had to rent a car for a family emergency and dont want to get stranded while driving to work because I am forced to drive a faulty car with no fix. I can afford to buy or rent a car until an unknown date.

While filling up my gas tank if below half way my car will not start. This problem has been listed online many times and it seems like Ford refuses to recall all 2014 Ford Focus. The gas gauge displays different levels of fuel and I am afraid that my car is going to stop while I'm driving and I have a accident. This has been listed online by may people that this car is having this problem. Mine all of a sudden just started. I need my car fix and I am tired of paying for items you guy and Ford are aware of. I need contact from a manager or a corporate working from Ford. I am also filing a complaint with the bbb. I have small kids and cannot drive my car with them out of fear something may happen. There are reported crashes due to this and you guys are allowing Ford to put people lives in danger. I was stuck at the gas station for 45 mins after getting gas due to this issue.

When filling with car at gas station the auto pump shut off does not function spewing fuel all over. This has happened multiple times at different gas stations. Fuel gauges on car are not accurate. Took car to Ford there is a TSB 15-0034 for this issue. The fuel tank was distorted/deformed causing the fuel pump to malfunction overflowing into the evap canister. This is a dangerous situation and is a fire hazard when filling the car with gas. This issue should be a recall due to fire and safety hazards.
