I've filled out a complaint but needed to update it. Not sure how to do it so I just filled out another. I was told that I have a bad transmission because I've been dealing with stuttering from my car for a while. I just got a letter in the mail that in 2019 they realized they installed improper things into the car or something. This is ridiculous honestly. I put so much money into this car bro and now what. I have to get rid of it?.

I bought this vehicle in 2018 and have had multiple issues with the powershift transmission. In relation to the faulty dps6 powershift dual-clutch automatic transmission, 2012-2016 Focus sedans and hatchbacks were affected. This vehicle has been into the Ford dealership multiple times to fix this issue, with no such luck. I was told that I can expect the transmission to continue with the shuddering, hesitation while downshifting, hesitation while accelerating, stalling, slipping, bucking, jerking. I spoke with the dealership that I purchased it from as well, and they directed me to Ford. Now, the transmission has gone completely out and the car is no longer drivable. I was driving down the road and got the warning that the transmission is overheating and it needs service. I spoke to the Ford dealership, however, in order to have the car looked at to see if it is covered under any warranty or recall, I need to pay the shop fees to get it diagnosed. Not sure where to go from here, and now I do not have a vehicle.

On 11/02/2020 I started my car, warmed it up and then started driving. I noticed that the car shook and pulled when switching gears from 1st to second and seemed to want to stall. Also, when breaking the car wanted to keep accelerating. This is the second time this happens in a matter of a year.

While going from a stop to accelerating, my vehicle shutters and will attempt to stall. I have had this car almost cause multiple serious accidents and every time I take it the dealership (5 times) they tell me its the manual transmission assembly clutch. They say that Ford is aware of the issue but there is no permanent fix for it. I have myself and 2 very young children to worry about while driving, not to mention the safety of others. Also while driving at any steady speed, the car will randomly rev up sometimes going from 2000 rpms to over 4000 rpms.

The vehicle stalls out at the red lights while waiting for the light to turn green. The vehicle completely shuts down. Then my daughter has to put on the hazard (she is 17) and put it park, then pray the vehicle starts again. Just had the 2 recalls done however was told we need by a purge valve which I found online with these year models when I look up 2014 Ford Focus shutting down during waiting for a red light. It also struggles to get in 1st and 2nd gear. It shutters and jumps. Once you get the vehicle over 40-50 mph on the road it feels okay but when you have to come to a complete stop, good luck. My daughter is terrified to drive the vehicle. When I went to walker Ford, I was told there was nothing they can do about this issue however its all over the internet. What can I do to help my 17 year old daughter feel more comfortable driving?.

I had my Ford Focus transmission repaired at least three times so far. As of today, the car is still stalling and jerking. I scheduled a service maintenance today. But, I was turned down by todd ( service rep) and bob (service manager) because the level of effectiveness was not amounted to 250. Therefore, they recommend that I should continue driving the car as is and risk my life and my family. This is not acceptable. My life and my family life is worth more than $3000.

While driving on the freeway around 6pm and taking an on ramp onto another freeway the Ford Focus stalled mid-drive and would not accelerate anymore or switch to higher gears when the accelerator was pressed. The Ford immediately could not go any faster than first gear and luckily we avoided an accident by pulling to the side of the freeway on ramp into the vegetation since there was no shoulder. There was no noise or indication that something had happened to the vehicle. The engine light came on and the vehicle just stopped driving in the middle of driving at around 50mph. It would not drive backwards when put into reverse and would rev up to extremely high rpm when the driver tried to move forwards or backwards. Towed the car to the mechanic the next day and they ran a diagnostic that came back with 5 error codes including: p0805, p087a, p2831, p2836, and p2861. A pin point test was performed and found that the voltage was at a consistent 5 volts, so they cleared the codes and took the vehicle for a test drive and it was fine again. The vehicle has about 79,000 miles. Attached will be the mechanics form along with what they said are several codes for related recalls that were supposedly already fixed.

Ford Focus 2013 titanium in March 2020 on interstate 90 between st charles mn and eyota mn stalled without warning at 70 mph and had 32 miles to empty reading on gauge. Vehicle flatbed towed to home 35 miles away and gas was added and vehicle ran fine. August 2020 same vehicle stalled without warning on state highway at 60 miles per hour with 21 miles to empty on reading. Again vehicle flatbed towed home and gas was added and vehicle has ran fine since. I believe that the gas gauge is faulty in this model of Ford Focus as in other years but no recall yet for model 2013 year. We will make sure gas doesnt get below 50 miles as this has happened twice now within 5 months and not a coincidence.

Hello, this information is to be added to my previous complaints. I could not find a way to add to existing complaints on the web site so I did another complaint.

Ford motor company knew they had an issue with these pumps. The original factory pump was manufactured in china and the new Ford motorcraft washer pump that I installed is now manufactured in poland. This repair cost me $724. 00 and I did most of the work myself. All the dealer did was install and program a new bcm module.

My daughter has a used 2012 Ford Focus that has an outstanding recall for cpv problems. She has had two experiences where the vehicle loses power and she's unable to accelerate no matter how far she presses the gas pedal. Last week, 1/15/2019 the same issue happened on the freeway, while in motion, going approximately 65mph. Very dangerous! especially with fast moving traffic. She managed to get off the freeway and coast into a parking lot. We had the car towed to camelback Ford and we explained the situation and that after some research found there is an open recall on her car for a malfunctioning part/s that can cause the exact problems she's experiencing. They say okay, we'll get on it. Well, they called us today, 1/20/2020, a whole 5 days later, to say that she needs a new battery and other things like a wheel alignment and bearing replaced. No mention of the recall repair being done. When asked they said they couldn't repair because they were unable to replicate the problem or find a code for it. So needless to say, she's been without her car for 5 days and the recall repair wasn't even done, and they come at use for other "repairs". Right now we are more concerned for the safety aspect of the car stalling out while in motion. After chatting with a Ford customer service rep. , who by the way says repairs should be done whether the issue is detectable or not, we have to take it to a second dealer and hope they make the necessary repairs. We can do a wheel bearings and alignment once the more critical safety repairs are done.

I've not had a fuel gauge since my 4th warranty repair (turbo replacement turned catastrophic and incurred warranted engine replacement as they blew it in shop and had it for almost three months) and I am not happy at all. And I am now gonna have to go back and get it fixed as this is dangerous for me. I keep a gallon of fuel I'n my car, so I'm basically huffing fumes all the dang time im in my car. . I must keep a gallon of fuel in the car due to the sudden stalls and the subsequent crank, wont start issues. Up until after my car was "repaired". . I didn't have issue until id done run out of fuel and or run out of outa fuel and stalled in most precarious places whilst in motion and driving down the road. I'd run out of fuel and my car would sputter and die. I've walked up to 12 miles to get to a gas station luckily. I am not cool with this shit cause I bought it with lil to no mileage and new off the lot. . . . Magnussen moss has a ring to it if anyone could help. . . To an erratic at best case I've been stranded with no phone, no food nor water at least three times. And they think I'm gonna bring it in for service and allow them to screw me over again? don't think I have a lot of trust for Ford no mo. . . . I hope they stop playing around with people's lives as seemingly expendables and wasting our valuable time and money. I've lost a job from it and that's no joke.
