general problems of the 2015 Ford Focus - part 2

Takata recall my car has had multiple sudden loss of power steering and a message on the cluster claiming a eclectically steering assist malfunction while I am driving at any speeds. It is extremely dangerous and now the power steering is completely out. My cars suspension is 100 factory oem parts. With no modifications.

While driving on the highway at 50 mph through a curve the power steering stopped working and almost caused me to hit the center divider. This is my daughter's car and if she was driving the car she would have wrecked. I'm a pretty strong guy and it took all of my strength to turn the wheel. A power steering assist warning came up on the dash. I'm taking the car in to have it looked at, but there should be a recall on this due to this being a huge safety risk.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. While the contact's daughter was driving at an unknown speed, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The contact was unaware if any warning indicators were illuminated. The vehicle was unable to be driven. The contact called an unknown dealer and was informed that there were no recalls associated with the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unknown.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Ford Focus. While driving approximately 40 mph, the steering warning indicator illuminated. The contact arrived at his destination and turned off the vehicle. When the vehicle was restarted, the "steering fault, service immediately" warning indicator illuminated and the steering wheel seized in position. The vehicle was towed to franklin Ford (located at 175 east central street, franklin, MA 02038) where it was diagnosed that the electronic steering gear needed to be replaced.

Power steering assist motor grinding. Steering is not as responsive but it works.

Purchased 2015 Ford Focus in Aug 2018 used, been driving fine for 8 months; car has less that 30,000 miles. On 4/10/19, I started the vehicle and the dash indicated a steering fault assist warning while stationary in a level parking ramp. No power steering all of a sudden. Called courtesy Ford in davenport iowa on 4/11/19. Service department there stated they think Ford should recall as he (garrett) had three Focus' with same issue-one was in the shop at that moment to have the entire steering rack replaced at approximate cost of $2,500. That is one quarter of what I paid for the car. 4/11/19 & 4/12/19, called courtesy in moline illinois where I purchased the car, and no response/call back. Took car to autozone in rock island on 4/11/19 and the tech there said he has seen several of these faults and thinks a recall is coming. Did research online and noticed recall 15s18 for same issue on Fords from 2011-2014 due to faulty power control module system. 4/12/19 filed complaint cas17644387 with Ford directly. Internet search indicated the steering assist fault has occurred while the car was in motion-luckily, I was parked. I have a car that is unsafe to drive and think, based on the points noted, this should be investigated.

Steering tightened up while my daughter was driving the vehicle. She barely managed to pull into the nearest parking lot. Then this message appeared on the dash: steering loss. Stop safely. Could not steer the vehicle. Had to get it towed to the Ford dealer. They noted: found steering gear binding internally. Replaced steering gear. The cost of the repair was $2,109. The car is only 4 years with 43k miles and should not require such a major repair. I believe this was a manufacturers defect in the part itself. We will not be buying any more Fords in the future. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle and future issues we are going to have with it.

While trying to make a slight left turn from curb side parking to get on the road, the steering wheel seized without warning and since I was not able to make it turn to the right I was hit in the front by a car coming from behind. The vehicle was turned off and resetarted. In addition when the cops arrived to the scene of collision they requested to see if the car can be moved and when I shifted into drive, the instrument panel displayed reversed and the vehicle moved backwards instead of forward. The vehicle had to be towed to cooks auto rebuild lake city seattle. The officer who reported to the scene of collision issued me a moving violation ticket via mail with reason of wrong turn from park not knowing the real steering wheel mechanical failure. I paid the ticket to avoid late fees and fines.

Steering developed a knocking noise when going over even small bumps at any speed. Coincided with increased play in the steering wheel. Vehicle has approximately 60000 miles. Was advised that power steering rack had an interior component in danger of breaking, estimated repair cost $1800.

My wife drove to work, the car functioned fine. When she started the car after work the car computers notified her the steering assist system had failed. She noticed she could barely turn the wheel. She called me and I asked her to attempt to drive home and I would look into it. I discovered that I could do little but take it to the dealership for repairs.

Steering wheel makes a loud sound when making turns. When turning left, steering wheel locks in place and needs to be corrected by turning right. Very dangerous when making sharp left turns or even just left curves.

On the day of 12/7/18��I will go to work. When I got out of my friend's house��I drove out a junction and found that my steering was difficult to turn. Then I stopped at the roadside and restarted the car. When I continued driving,the system show me steering loss��steering stop work��. I tried to restart many times, the system still didn't alter, I was sure that my steering wheel had broken. Before that, on the day of 02/20/2018, I tried to drove out my house garage. The steering wheel broke down once, I was also on my way to work. Two times I was unable to go to work. I had to waste time call the towing and called my company a leave of absence. This car seriously affected my work and life. This is a terrible things, if I drive such a car on the high speed,I may be dead. Thank god just let me stop in a safe place. The first repair cost $880, and the second repair cost was $20504. 03 (the steering cost was $1758. 05). This car has major hidden dangers and also brought losses to my economy. I hope that I can save my lost.

On Thursday evening, 11/22/2018, I was coming to a stop at a light on a city street (speed limit 35) when my car stalled without warning. Moving at most 25 mph when it occurred, the oil and battery lights came on as I slowed. I tried accelerating slightly to diagnose the issue, and nothing happened. I attempted to pull into the left turn lane (mostly out of traffic) but found my power steering was compromised. I turned on my hazards, parked, and turned off the car, waited 5 seconds, and restarted the car with no trouble. I was shaken, but thankfully no damage to the car or injuries to myself or others. 2 weeks prior to the stall, I had my transmission serviced, and I was made aware of Ford manufacturer recall number 18s32 and that my car was one of the affected. When my check engine light came on a week after service, error code p2195 (bank 1/sensor 1 lean) came up, and then went away. I was told it was still safe to drive and continued to do so. I was on my way to my parents' house for thanksgiving with the intent to stay overnight and have my dad work on the car in the morning when the car stalled with a 3/4 full tank of gas, despite Ford's advice that the car should be safe to operate with more than a half tank. My air filter was replaced, and 5 days later the engine light comes on again, same code. I scheduled service with Ford, and they verified that the engine code and the stall are related to the recall.

The power steering would sporadically fail while driving causing dangerous control issues. It finally failed completely. The transmission has been repaired twice for issues with slipping and continues to do so.

I was making a right hand turn on a city street at approximately 20 miles per hour when the steering got very heavy, the abs and traction control lights illuminated, a message on the dash started that hill start assist was deactivated and the speedometer stopped working. When I pulled over, the car would not shut off when I pushed the start/stop button. The car is currently at the dealership undergoing diagnostic testing. I think it may be an abs sensor that came loose behind a wheel.

Driving into a recreational site, looking for parking with car in motion, power steering went out and I could not steer the car. I pulled over to side of road but trying to turn the steering wheel was like moving a ton of bricks. Turned car engine off and back on but steering was out. Steering gear had to be replaced by dealer. Ford has a history of recalls with this same problem. My vehicle make and model was not among those recalled.

Taka recall. I took my car to Ford to get a clutch and transmission defect fixed. When I got it back my car is making a scrapping sound like metal to metal when turning the steering wheel. I took it back 2 hrs later and was told its the gear assy steering. Part number 3504.

Power steering motor has gone out on the car and needs to be replaced according to the dealership, at a cost of $2000 to the consumers. The car is not driveable without the electronic power steering.

The power steering assist has completely stopped functioning. The vehicle is extremely difficult to steer at speeds below about ten to fifteen mph, such as in parking lots and intersections of roads and while attempting to park at home or in public lots.

The power assist steering has completely gone to not functioning. The vehicle is extremely difficult to steer at speeds below 10-15 mph, or when turning the steering wheel when stationary.

I rented a vehicle from enterprise rent-a-car. I did not receive the vehicle I reserved and paid for. Three out of the four vehicles set aside for uber drivers were badly stained on the inside and not washed on the outside. The only vehicle option left for me to drive for uber was a 2015 Ford Focus, which was stained on the inside and not washed on the outside. I tried to ask for a refund and was told I had already paid for the rental and was locked into the agreement as an uber driver. I asked for a better vehicle and was told they did not have any at the time for me to trade the last vehicle out for. Basically, I was stuck with the vehicle. The car begins to jerk as I accelerate or drive. I informed the rental car branch, rental car customer service, and the rental car corporate office. None of these departments/divisions of enterprise rent-a-car seem to be concerned regarding the condition of the car nor how it functions. My uber passengers (esp. Male passengers) have brought it to my attention that it feels like the transmission is slipping and that I need to get it fixed. I have escalated the matter to uber so they are aware that enterprise is not maintaining the cars designated for uber drivers nor meeting their standards. I have contacted enterprise on numerous occasions to be put in another car or get my money back and they will not take ownership for their wrongdoing nor rectify the situation. The condition of the car and how it runs has affected my uber driver ratings, interfered with me getting ride request, and prohibited me from meeting my uber driver ride quota for the week. I took the car to an uber vehicle inspection location where the car failed inspection. Uber was not happy with enterprise providing me with an unsafe vehicle.

The entire way, the steering grabbed, slipped and had a difficult time staying in one lane, the steering pulled to the left and to the right in a jerky dangerous manner. We were literally scared to drive the Focus but had to in order to get back home that night. I would never drive another Focus 2015, and I am a former dot employee.
