Takata inflators. This car was unsafe to drive, when you get to a red light, the car jerked you, when you place your feet on the brakes. Then when you press the accelerator to go it jerk back and pulled you forward. Changing geers would hard to shift and sometimes stick. The engine light would come on, the car was taken to Ford dealership 3 times and tested, they never fixed the problem. I almost crased at the stop sign trying to stop, the brakes got stuck. I had the car for one month, and filled a lemmon law complaint on line, and they insisted I had to wait a period of time, because I just purchased the car. After the 3rd, time visting the Ford repair shop, in one month time, I was disappointed and where I bought the car from at a Kia dealership, they would not give me my money back, only offered to trade the Ford Focus in back to them and buy a Kia car from them, I loss my down payment, and got stuck with a roll over fee of 4,500 from the remaining balance of the Ford Fusion added on to the new Kia. And a higher car payment. They sold E a lemon, and had a warranty and still refuse to fix the car. The transmission was bad and they sold the Ford to the auction to get it off their hands. I was stalled for 30 days believing they would fix the car, the lemon law couldn't help me after I faxed all the papers to them. The Ford Focus was on the recall list, and I don't have the car now, is there anyway I can get credited for the $4.500 in a law suit for buying the Ford under warranty and they refuse to fix the car right.

The car randomly stalls and dies while I am driving it. It has died on the interstate and on rural roads and highways. This is very dangerous and there is currently a recall out on a part of the 2014 Ford Focus which causes this problem. It dies when I am driving and coasting, when I accelerate, and when I have my cruise set.

This appears to be the same issue as the 14S17-S1 recall affecting the 2013-2014 Ford Focus St and escape models. Lost all power while driving and engine began stuttering while I was traveling on the highway at 65 miles per hour. I was barely able to reach to shoulder before the vehicle was immobilized. I was charged 830 dollars by my local dealership (inver grove Ford Lincoln in inver grove heights mn) to locate and repair chaffed and damaged wiring in the engine harness in the identical location to the St and escape models.

Started hearing crackling/popping noises from my radio, sometimes even with the key off. Sometimes very loud, which surprises me while driving. Which is obviously extremely dangerous.

When turning left or right it would make a grinding noise at all speeds on backroads or highway speeds. Also, when going straight it was difficult to maintain a straight path and takes resistance. When I took it to the Ford dealership they stated it was an electrical issue in the computer for the steering system causing it to malfunction.

After the recall "repair" my car began exhibiting the issues described in the recall. This system caused my clutch to burn up and now Ford will not repair issue. Stepping on the gas either floods engine or stalls engine. Issue is especially noticed when leaving a stopped state.

- Chapel Hill, NC, USA

I have had absolutely nothing but problems with this car. Haven't been able to drive it for two years because it's problem after problem. First the transmission went out and we spent 3000 to fix it just for it to get home and start knocking in the engine. Now the car won't even turn over or even turn on. I've heard of so many recalls on this car and it's extremely unsafe and I'm too scared to even take it back in to fix it further because I do not feel safe driving this car. I've contacted Ford multiple times with absolutely no help. No one should buy this car at all.

Every time my Ford Focus shifts from 1st-2nd or 2nd-3rd the entire car not only shutters but its extremely sluggish and seems like it's going to stall out. (automatic transmission) there are no warning light lit on my dash and the car barely has 56,000 miles on it. When I bought the car it had 35,000 miles and the problem existed then and has progressively gotten worse. Yesterday I was at a yield sign to enter the round about near my house and when I pressed the gass my car shuttered horribly and only went forward a few feet, I was nearly struck by a truck that had to suddenly swerve to keep from hitting us. I took my foot off the gas. When I pressed it again, this time with more force, it shuttered and jerked so hard it forcefully threw my head back against the seat! my 5yr old daughter that was in the back seat was crying uncontrollably, scared because we were almost hit by a truck! the seatbelts in the backseat of my car, have came unbuckled several times while my 2yr old and 5yr old children were in their carseats. When I attempt to rebuckle them it takes about 15- 20 minutes of my consistently trying to get the buckle to latch onto the seatbelts!

My car alerted traction control/hill assist issue while driving under 35 mph. (note I work 3rd shift) next morning got off work and it was dead but was able to jump it. Next night I removed keys from ignition from parked car and vehicle continued to run. Next morning car would not start and was able to be jumped. Took to local Ford dealership and they diagnosed it as the tcm (transmission control module) module which they replaced and returned my car. Same night car would not start again. Took over an hour to get the car charged just to drive to dealership 3 minutes away and the car would not go over 1500 RPM and wouldn't allow me to go over 15 mph. Got to the dealership and had worker witness a test drive in the passenger seat, then parked withe worker still inside and she was able to witness the car not shutting off after key removal. Notified today from service department manager it is now the BCM (body control module) and will be $2900 plus tax to replace the BCM as well as the wire harness that has melted now due to this issue. Ford has told me that they have no programs or recalls to help cover these costs. After research I have discovered that this is and issue with others that have the same vehicle and Ford issued a recall for the 2015 Ford Focus for this same BCM issue but of course my VIN (2014 Ford Focus SE hatchback) is not included. I have had nothing but issues related to the transmission and computer of my car in the 49 months that I have owned it.

While driving on a busy street the car made a sound with the words 'engine fault:...' the cars electrical functions went haywire within a minute of the first warning and the car died.

Takata recall complaint. My son and I purchased a 2014 Ford Focus together. The rear door was a constant problem in latching properly and this is complaint #1. complaint #2 is the inability to drive the car any more. The car motor seized (my son said the the engine blew up) while driving on the freeway in calif. And had to be towed away. My ex wife spent $4,500 to have the transmission repaired prior to this incident, by a local repair shop in California only to have the car back in the same undriveable condition. Apparently the new transmission now had electrical defects. The local Ford dealer told my son to take the car back to the repair shop that performed the work on the car. The concept of the 14mo2 recall or failed service action never arose. We still have a balance on the loan to Ford credit and an undriveable 2014 car. I find it hard to believe that after patronizing Ford by purchasing 2 Explorer prior to this Focus, that such mechanical issues would exist.
