Horn Assembly Problems of Ford Focus - part 1

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.

Electrical system that supports the radio. I would like to report this electrical because something leaked from the radio area, burning the car interior near the radio. Radio started making a popping noise before the burn. Know the radio does not work in the off position radio still pops. Scared to drive because of safety. Date may be wrong. . . But on file Ford douglasville thornton road.

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.

Whenever it rains and I'm using my wipers they will just shut off randomly or they do a very inconvenient delay at the worst of times especially when it's raining hard. It's dangerous and you can't see. Oddly enough my horn don't work either. I got the car January 1st,2020 of course it was previously owned I got it from a used car dealer the horn worked until I think March, 2020. I hit a bump and it's like it just quit after that then a couple week later I got a bump again and it started workin for it a lite bit. Rhen a couple days went by and it just stopped never to work again. Checked all the fuses they all looked good none looked blown. It's scary because so many times people will either pull out in front of me like they don't see me or almost hit me and I have no way to alert them that they almost him me and need to lay attention. Then there's the whole having to take off slowly if not and you take off fast it the car will jerk and stall and it does it really when sometimes when turning and now the rpm drop so low when idling it almost dies. I just replace the motor a couple months ago and it was doing this before the ne motor got out in just not as bad. And it's kike you can press the gas pedal and push it but the car. Aren't beg jl and goes. . . It's scary to me and I usually always have my kid with me. It freaks me out because not only does it stall or whatever it's doing I have no horn to let people know to go around I know a girl I work with her daughter has the same car as me and stalking has gotta.

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.

Design failure in engine wiring harness the wires with in the engine wiring harness rub together with the vibration of an ignited engine. As friction occurs between the individual encased wires, the casing wears down, the wires risk becoming fused together within the harness. The consequences of a faulty engine wiring harness: 1. Rpm readings do not coincide with the motor. The vehicle struggles to accelerate from the traffic light even though the car idles at 2000 rpm. Therefore, the tachometer is unable to read the rotation of the engine's crankshaft. 2. As the vehicle in motion encounters an incline it loses power and is unable to accelerate on any grade hill, causing the engine to dump fuel. In such instance one can watch the fuel gauge recess quickly from full to empty. 3. Whether the engine is turned on or off, the tail light and horn will also short out, presenting faulty circuits.

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.

Horn has stopped working. Radio crackling when car on and off, in motion and when still, does not work.

Ford Focus 2013 se - while driving (in motion), driver's side door unlatched and swung open, and would not close, horn stopped working, interior displays and lights flickered, when pulled over, car would not start. If we were on a highway it would have been tremendously dangerous. Later car did start, but door would not latch, radio was reset, hazards would turn on and off at random. Door latch and horn would not work after this event. Shortly prior to this issue, horn started working at random, wipers would not turn off. When inspected, advised battery was bad and had corroded negative wire to battery. One week after replaced, this event occurred. Clutch in vehicle also jitters when increasing speed from full stop, allegedly corrected at Ford dealership after recall (2 years ago). Per research this issue is being caused by a faulty clutch interfering with electrical system.
