Late in the month of February 2018 I came out to my car on a rainy Friday and when I turned on my vehicle the windshield wipers began to operate erratically and persistently with no ability to control them as the driver. The problem continued for over a week and the wipers would operate unpredictably and even when the car was fully shut off including the ignition power. This is a serious hazard caused by a known faulty part on this model of car that is susceptible to shorting out.

My 2014 Ford Focus has had a myriad of problems from day one. First the trunk will pop open if driving more than 40 mph. My trunk popped open and I lost a 3,000 saxophone. The Michigan state police has proof of my claim. Now trunk will not release. Constant transmission problems even with repairs, the car will lag, sputter and rolls backwards. The car will roll backwards when you stop for a red light or sputter when entering a roundabout.the gas guard will say you have 50 gallons but change to 11 after driving 2 miles. Bluetooth and horn does not work.

My 2014 Ford Focus transmission gets hot and is not changing gear while driving after I got it from the Ford dealer service center in ga 01/2018. It won't start because the transmission gets hot so I have to let it cool down before I can crank it. It cuts off while I'm driving. I have bought a front and rear dash cam to record and upload live video and an additional cam to for dashboard to show the red (I) light and engine light that remains on while I'm driving. I had a new battery, tcm module, clutch and clutch motor put on 12/2017, but I can't drive the car, it won't back up hills, it looses speed, don't change gears, again, I just got it out the shop!!! I have to drive it because it is the only transportation I have, so I am videoing every trip in case the whilethe car is jumping gear or transmission gets hot and car turn off while I'm driving, I can have an accurate account of an accident due to the transmission issue I am having with. I hope that the overheating doesn't cause a fire, but, if that happens, it would be recorded on my dashcam and I will post in social media.

When pressing on the gas vehicle hesitates before jerking forward. When placing the vehicle from park to reverse, vehicle will not engage/move in reverse. Constant problems with vehicle while trying to begin driving or while trying to operate basic functions on a daily basis. This needs to be added to the extended warranty/recall for the transmission.

I started my vehicle after I dropped my 3 month old off at daycare, it was parked and my dashboard was flashing "transmission fault- service now". I pulled out of my space and parked the car to restart, to see if maybe the computer just needed to be restarted. At this point the dashboard computer was going black and then trying to turn on and going blue. The speedometer stopped working, I lost all power steering. I drove it home and parked it.

I recently brought my 2014 Focus in to the dealer, because the trunk would not open. According to the Ford dealer, this is a known issue, and the wiring needed to be replaced. Although I paid the whopping $421.30 for the repair, including a $120 diagnostic fee, I feel that Ford should take responsibility since this is a known issue unrelated to normal wear and tear on a vehicle and issue a recall.

2014 Ford Focus has a defective horn and does not sound, only clicks and lights flash, when pressing the key fob or the steering wheel. A 2012 Focus driven by a family member has the same problem. I could not warn another car that he was drifting into my lane and he almost hit my car. There should be a recall and Ford should fix the defective Focus horns that a lot of people are having problems with.

Ford Focus is highly vulnerable to electric defects in which indicators appear for a long period of time after being attained to, brake tends to slip unexpectedly, bluetooth has stopped working, usb ports, brake lamp faults. My main concern for other drivers and my self is the vulnerability to sharp turn and the crucial acceleration delays. These problems were attained to and maintained by Ford multiple times, problems occur within 1-2weeks after maintenance. I'm concerned even more about the performance and shaking at high speed as well that hasn't been revised.

On May 6, 2017 while driving on the highway at approximately 55-60 miles per hour, the engine suddenly propulsion, and effectively stalled. The check engine light came on simultaneously. (it was not on before). The vehicle slowly lost power. I was able to get it off the highway and safely into a parking lot. I had it towed to a nearby Firestone, which ran a diagnostic which revealed that a portion of the engine was defective and has resulted in splicing of wires, which needed to be replaced. I was informed that there is a technical service bulletin, #14-0215 but that for is refusing to pay for the repairs even though the vehicle still is under powertrain warranty. The vehicle seized and effectively stalled on the highway without warning, and I'm lucky that no one was harmed. See attached invoice for repair information.
