Since ive purchased my Ford Focus back in 2013 I have taken the car back to Ford dealership on numerous occasions in relation to the faulty transmission and electrical issues. On my 5th attempt my transmission was replaced. This was around the end of 2017 to 2018. On May 2nd 2019 I was driving to work and as soon as I turned on the car the windsheild wipers started to go off and for some reason I could not turn them off. Once I arrived onto my work campus I turned the cornee to park my car... when all of a sudden my car flashed an error message on my dash stating the following, " transmission failure repair now". I calmly parked the car and within seconds of turning off the car I see smoke and then flames from the bottom of my engine hood. I quickly exited the car abd the flames got bigger and bigger. The fire department was called and the had to smash the back window due to the flames that had over taken the front of the car. Unfortunetly my car is not a total loss. I was at the end of my contract agreement with Ford and inly having to pay 6400 left on my loan. Ive called their customer service to complain and see what can be done and was told I would get a letter in 2 weeks by their legal council. This has caused me to delay my entry into nursing school since now I have to work to handle the car the new car I just had to buy. I need transportation for work and Ford took that from me. Ive now seeked out a lawyer to see what can be done. With all the times I asked for help and I ended up seeing my car go up in smoke. Im just so thankful I was able to get out iof the car in time. But believe me im still shaken and this has caused me to never buy Ford again.

My current problem is after fueling up my car it starts and then stalls, then the next restart it turns over about 5 to 10 seconds and starts and then has a erratic idle and it may stall again, or if I manage to take off it will run ok, unless I have to stop within a 100 yards, and it then may stall again, or have a erratic idle around 2000 rpms, then idles down to the 750 area if I'm lucky, only after fueling up. Every start afterwards starts and runs fine until the next gas up. I have an engine code I believe they said was a evap code, my fuel tank is starting to concave on the bottom. I talked to my dealership and they said I'm not part of the recall, although he said I fit all the parameters of the recall, but my VIN number its in the system. I'm looking for help and hope someone can contact Ford ! ps this is on going and very dangerous! thank you, very disappointed in Ford. Ps ps the transmission is another forty pages of info if you ever have the time to talk.

Transmission has never worked correctly, brought into Ford to have recall of part of transmission repaired. Never shifted correctly into next gear, sometimes jerked and sputtered and makes grinding noise and was told that it was because engine was 4 cylinder. Early in 2018, electrical system shut down. Dash lights of defrost, door lock no longer worked. Trunk stopped opening, radio stopped working and all that was heard was loud static sporadically with or without radio being on, and dome lights no longer worked either. Brought into Ford dealer and was told car needed new clutch (due to transmission never working correctly) and was no longer covered under warranty. Was told the electrical system failures were due to battery, which was replaced outside of dealer with no fix to problems at all. Was told need to replace radio which was no longer any good, car less than 5 years old at this time and that the trunk latch needed to be replaced. Was told none of the issues on the car were covered under warranty. Also received information in 2016 for class action law suit regarding my vehicle due to transmission issues.

While waiting in traffic on a hill or accelerating uphill the check engine light randomly turns on and the vehicle immediately shuts off. This has left me rolling to a stop on the freeway and even rolling backwards downhill unable to turn the car back on. Today I barely pulled over on the side of the road before I started to coast backwards. Recall was posted 10/22/18 and there is no solution yet over 4 months later.

I called Washington Ford in Washington, pa on 1/17/2019 regarding a check engine light due to Ford Focus recall (purge valve). They scheduled an appointment for 1/30/2019 to fix the recall. Took my car in on the eve of 1/29/2019 and dropped it off. They called me the following day to say they didnt have the part available. They instructed me to pick up my car and said they would call when part came in. I had an inspection scheduled for 2/7/2019 and they told me it would come in prior to my inspection. I never heard from them but called back a few times, telling them I had new codes coming up on my obd sensor (fixd) the car had been running rough, stalling out while idling/stopped.. they assured me it was safe to drive. They did not get part in by 2/7/2019 and I missed my inspection. Two new codes came up on my car and I called angrily on 2/14/2019 to ask if they need me to take car to a different location, and they told me they were just about to call me to tell me parts came in.. we scheduled for 2/22/2019 to have recall fixed. They told me rental cars aren't covered under this recall when I explained the problems with scheduling so many appointments and having difficulty finding other transportation. On 2/17/2019 my car shut off while driving, on a major road (route 40). I was able to coast down a side street and pull into driveway at the bottom of the hill. Had the dealership fixed the problem the day they originally scheduled me, I would have a working car. Now, I'm afraid more damage has been done, as there are 7 total codes on my obd sensor(there were 3 when I first called about recall). The dealership should have never scheduled me when they didn't have the right part in stock, or a rental car should have been provided until they corrected the problem. I'm very unsatisfied with the customer service level at this location!

We received a recall notification for my vehicle in December 2018 from Ford. We were told that as long as the gas tank is filled at 1/2 a tank, the vehicle is safe to drive. Since we received the letter, my vehicle has stalled on the highway three separate times, each time resulting in the car having to be pushed to a safer location. It doesn't seem like anything is being done to fix the situation and it's becoming unsafe to drive. I wanted to file a complaint against Ford Motor Company for not fixing this issue in a timely manner before it becomes a more serious issue with my husband being hit by another vehicle at 70+ mph on the highway.

- Sanford, ME, USA

My Focus is under Ford recall...it is experiencing stalling and loss of power and difficulty starting. Ford says it will be fine if I keep a half tank of fuel in tank, but all the symptoms are happening with over half a tank of fuel. They will not provide a loaner/rental vehicle and the local dealer will not either. They both tell me the same thing about half a tank of fuel. But it is not safe to drive due to the stalling and loss of power. There is no parts available and they don't know when they will be available.

Car is driven in moderate raining conditions in va. Suddenly while maneuvering in a walmart parking lot a fault 'engine faul service car now' showed up on the dashboard screen. Didn't feel anything different at first and continued driving back home. About 2 miles later in the middle of route 28 the car lost acceleration and completely stalled in the middle of the highway. Was able to maneuver it on the shoulder before car completely stopped. Restarted engine but same error showed up and car only moved a meter before stalling again. Had it towed to Ford chantilly va. Dealer called a few days later and stated it's a 800usd repair on a electrical harness issue. It is the same electrical harness recall that Ford released but only for the Ford Focus St models and not SE. This is the 2nd time this year that I've brought the car back to the dealer for major performance issues. The first one is covered by the transmission PCM recall. For a 2013 model that is barely being used (car has only 35K mileage) this is unaccepatable. Btw car also has an issue on the driver side power window (doesn't go down) but I have not requested them to fix them yet.
