I want to know why the people driving this year of Ford Focus have not been compensated by Ford for all of the "defects" associated with this vehicle? in 3 years time, I have replaced the battery, shocks, repaired oil leak, vapor management valve and replaced tires out of my own pocket. The recalls are unreal! I have had it in the shop for "fuel tank deformation recall", the "tcm clutch shutter" has been replaced 3 times. Not to mention the times I have taken it in for that to be fixed, only to be told it wasn't the problem when it was later verified that it was. And now I receive notice that the doors fly open while driving! I can't trade it in, because I am $3,000 upside down because the vehicle is not worth squat. I have lost employment because of this vehicle and it has significantly impacted my and my family's quality of life because of all of the problems it has caused. I have been losing gas for the past 2 years and the mechanic's can't find the problem. When I fill up, the miles to empty will show for example 274, when I drive 1 mile by the odometer, the miles to empty has indicated 6. That is a huge amount of money I have lost in the past 2 years. This is outrageous that Ford motor company has not been forced to compensate us unfortunate people that got "stuck" with a vehicle they knew had issues! I have all paperwork for everything I have stated above but there are over 100 pieces of paper. If you require this from me I can make copies and send to you but to upload everything is too much. Please help! I would like to get into a vehicle that is safe to drive for me as well as my family. I have been driving in fear since a week after I purchased this in Jan 2017!.

I purchased this Ford w 15000 miles on it. It now has 37000 miles. I feel like the car is a lemon. I have had several issues requiring me to go Ford dealership. First the gas information was incorrect. It said I had 26 miles to drive but ran out of gas. Then when I was driving on the freeway the car got stuck in between gears. I could not accelerate. Then the I tried to back out of a parking spot and the I could not put car into reverse. As a result car was fixed under warranty and recall. The items fixed were gas tank recall, engine mount, clutch, transmission, and (reservoir tank that was not covered under warranty). I picked up car and next day I drove to work with the same issues. Gears are not shifting. Take bake to dealer and fixed transmission module. Now the power steering does not work. I took it to Ford and they charged me 160$ to look at it. It will cost 1800$ to fix steering. This not covered under warranty. The dealer also said that the suspension needs to be replaced soon. He stated that suspension needs to be replace at 50000 miles my car only has 37000 miles. I have never replaced suspension in any other car. It makes no's sense why this car is falling apart with 37000 miles on it. It's a lemon and I want my money back. I bought this car for my daughter and it is not safe to drive!.

After receiving recall information, regarding recall 18s32, the vehicle was taken to the dealership for repair in mid-November 2018. The dealership advised that the recall was remedied. In may of 2019 the vehicle displayed signs that the issue was not resolved. For example, using excessive amounts of gasoline and emptying the tank while the gauge was showing fuel was present; also, the vehicle would stop moving while engine was still running. After being diagnosed by two different dealerships, the most present diagnosis is that recall 18s32 is the issue and now Ford is refusing to fix the vehicle. The car had to be towed five hours from the location, due to safety concerns, to a dealership who diagnosed that the recall had not been resolved only to be informed that Ford refused to cover the expense of the recall.

The problem occurs when accelerating from a stopped position or upon slowing down and then accelerating. The vehicle jerks and shakes like it is not getting adequate fuel. The amount of gas in the tank makes no difference. It feels like the vehicle wants to stall. I just purchased the vehicle from the original owner. I have not noticed this problem when going in reverse but only when in the drive position. The owner did not have a manual for the vehicle. I started driving the vehicle in may 2019. The original owner said he has not received any recalls on this vehicle.

Car stalled while driving down a major highway, had to have it towed. Ford has no current fix for the recall on the pcv valve. The only solution they gave me was to keep the fuel tank above half full ("until the vehicle is serviced for this concern customers are advised to maintain at least 1/2 tank of fuel") , however when the issue occurred for the second time I had over 3/4 of a tank. Ive called the customer service line and also talked to the dealership from where I bought the vehicle. Would not offer a rental car because the car is still deemed safe to drive ("an engine stall while driving without warning or without the ability to restart, can increase the risk of a crash. "). . . Although in the recall letter received says "may increase risk of crash". Also with this recall they say "causing the plastic fuel tank to deform, resulting in an inaccurate or erratic fuel gauge indication" how am I to keep more than a half a tank if the vehicle does not register the correct amount of fuel in the tank. The car is a 2014 and has 54000miles. .

My vehicle has died on me while driving down the road and after getting gas it does not want to start and will sputter and act like it is going to die, or die or it will be very hard to start. The car will just die at stop signs and is very dangerous. You can not tell if there is gas or not because the gauge does not work and will go to full even if you only put one dollar in and then at half a tank it will go back to showing full. I know it is low of gas and it will only hold five or ten dollars at a time no matter what I can not tell what amount is in the car and the solution I received from Ford while waiting on parts is to keep it half a tank or more but that is impossible because I do not know how much gas is there. They have also told me they are busy and maybe awhile anyway and they cant give me a rental car. I have almost been ran over, been stranded and missed work because of this and now I have no way to go if they do get parts in to fix this. Prior to this my transmission was causing my car to die and the door hinge is under recall and they car should be recalled totally. I dont trust them to fix it and these are lemons and they knew this and people have crashed because of this!! they are lying and should have to replace these cars. This is unfair , unethical and dangerous. You cant do this and risk so many lives. Do something before people die please!!1 it has stopped on highway, parking lot and city road and rural road. It has happened many many times.

The steering wheel locked up and the steering assist came on while I was doing 5 mph . And the fuel tank is being has been deformed because of a vacuum problem with the cap less gas tank.

2012 Ford Focus sel hatchback started to develop stutter and stall on low load. Could be under coasting at 60mph or slowing to stop. The revs drop and engine stalls. While coasting, put the car in n and restarted engine. Was ok after that. Ck eng light came on. Pulled codes, replaced evap purge valve and attempting to replace O2 sensor. Unable to remove old one at this point. Cleared code. Ck eng light came back on but car seems to behave like normal. Will have to pull code again. Will be extremely unhappy if fuel tank has collapsed. The gauge started reading faulty but based on refuel dates and miles driven the tank seems to take the appropriate amount of fuel. Ran out of gas with info center stating 10 miles left. Each time the car stalls it has no issue restarting. It only has trouble right after filling up. It cranks for a while. Then it turns over and does fine. Car would also idle at wrong levels. Always used to idle at about 750rpm, which it does again now that evap purge valve has been replaced. Before the evap purge valve replacement the car would feel like it's engine braking when coasting instead of just rolling like a normal automatic. The car hasn't been diagnosed by a dealership yet. It's impossible to make an appointment with local dealerships here.

The car stalls when I fill up the gas tank. The car also loose power as it takes off from a stop and has to be restarted several times before it restarts which then causes the battery light, oil light, and check engine light to come on indicating that something is wrong. The act like it wants to stall whenever I come to a complete stop in traffic and this is a very stressful and sometimes horrifying feeling traveling at highway speeds and driving in traffic jams in the northern virginia area. This problem started about 5 months ago. With 1. 5 million customers and their families in danger of having an accident Ford buy back all of these cars because they are too dangerous to drive on the highways. . Please advise. .

About 1 am this morning I left work and started down the highway with the gas gauge reading 44 miles to empty. Since it was rather late I decided to go home and just get gas in the morning but about halfway home it it dropped all the way from 44 down to 17 and then about a mile later ran out of gas. This was an issue but not the one I'm overly concerned about right now. I placed on my hazards and tried to flag down some help to get to the gas station I had to leave the car parked in a curve and though I was off the road it wasn't by much so I left the hazards on. When I came back roughly an hour and a half later the battery was completely dead. I got gas into the car and got the battery jumped and then started the vehicle with one major issue the instrument panel had gone completely dark so there was no way of telling how fast I was going nor could I see how much fuel was in the tank or engine temperature. The other issue was the turn signals also stopped working. Today I checked all the fuses and when I pulled out the one for the instrument panel it was absolutely fine but when I put it back in everything came back to life like there wasn't a problem about an hour and a half later in heavy traffic it all went dark again so I was unable to use my turn signal or tell how fast I was going. Once again I just pulled out the same fuse and push it back in and everything was fine. This just seems like it could be a real dangerous issue and as I read online this car seems to have a plethora of them also the issue with not getting an accurate reading of how much gas is in your tank is also a problem. The gentleman from the store who helped me put gas in the car and jump it said he has the exact same model for his wife and that he was told when she ran out of gas it was because the plastic tank melted and change shapes allowing inaccurate reading of the amount of fuel left.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Focus. While driving 25 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The contact also noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust of the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the gasket on the fuel tank seized, which caused limited amount of fuel to enter the engine. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was not available.

Two incidents. While driving at a speed of about 25 miles per hour, the vehicle lost power and stalled on an arterial street. Traffic was light, and there was no danger to me or other motorists. The vehicle would not restart. Had the car towed to the dealer, and was told it was out of gas. The gauge had been reading 1/4 full at the time of the incident. The gauge continued to give false readings (moved from lower to higher amounts during the course of exhausting the fuel supply) over the next few weeks. Eventually the dealer diagnosed the fuel tank was warped, and replaced the tank. One week later, while driving the vehicle at night on an interstate highway approaching a major freeway system interchange, at a speed of approximately 60 miles per hour, the vehicle lost power and shut off, causing me to have immediately attempt to move across four lanes of moderately heavy traffic. This happened on a slight uphill incline, so the car lost forward speed very quickly. During the emergency maneuver, I was forced in front of another motorist, nearly causing an accident. The car was exhausted of fuel, but within ten minutes prior had shown a reading of 1/4 tank remaining. Immediately prior to the incident, the gauge needle was actually indicating 1/2 tank.
