All lights came on and vehicle immediately slowed down, brakes became hard and it eventually just stalled out. Would not restart. Towed to repair shop. Mechanic found that the oil was full but no oil to engine. Found that the oil pump belt had malfunctioned and tore up leaving debris in the oil pan. Vehicle has approx 66,000 miles on it and manual says this piece if equipment should last until 150,000. Upon research, this is a common occurrence in the 2017, 2018 Ford focus.

Purchased 9/2018.care has been shaking likes its going to fall apart ever since then.. I have a manual transmission and car grunts when picking up speed like I have a clutch shift and makes this scratching noise when I shift from park to reverse. Or reverse to drive. Also when I barely tap the breaks its stop so suddenly the jilt forces me forward.. today 9/13/19 the transmission fault message came on. And went off. Then when I start the car back up to check systems.. the message system says all systems normal and the light didnt come back on after driving it around, shift from reverse to drive, and shutting of and starting up car 3 different times.

While travelling around 20 to 25 mph in the left hand lane or a two lane city street, the car in front of me stopped to make a left hand turn. I had plenty of time to stop, however, when I depressed the brake pedal, there was no resistance and the brake pedal went down to the floor. I quickly released and depressed the brake pedal again with the same result. I tried to avoid the vehicle by turning to my right, but I was too close and hit the right back bumper of the vehicle in front of me, causing extreme damage to the front left side of my car. The insurance company totalled the car.
