When I drive my vehicle, I believe the transmission is having problems with shifting gears. It shakes really bad when I'm getting up to 20 mph then it some what stops. The car will ideal real loud or the rpms will go up high for no reason when I'm at a stop. Sometimes the rpms will go up high when I'm on cruse control as if I'm pressing the gas down (fast and all the way to the ground) but I am not.

Vacuum seal on gas tank is faulty and gets air bubbles and the car cuts off at random. It cut off in the middle of an intersection yesterday and I almost got hit. I've reported this issue multiple times. Several other ones were recalled but not my VIN number but it's the exact same issue.

My 2014 Ford Focus engine dies when it rains. It started to run rough when it rained about a year ago and then the engine died going 55 mph when it was raining. Had engine wire replaced and it was fine for a week or so while it was dry. 1st time it rained it died again going 50mph. Took it in again and had cylinder and computer box replaced (crazy only 4 years old). Ran fine again until it rained and it died again while driving on highway. When it dies you are put in a very bad situation. Someone could definitely die. I give up. It is sitting in our driveway because we put $800 into it getting fixed and so far no luck. If I knew it could be fixed I would take it in. The car does not restart when it gets dry out again. I try jumping it and fuse 38 blows every time. Is there a recall on this? it is a very scary problem and I see this has happened to multiple people on the web.

I have a 2014 Ford Focus that is currently having transmission issues. I took my vehicle to a Ford dealership hoping it was under warranty and that they would fix it. They told me that my vehicle is not under warranty since it was built in November of 2013 and that 14M01 only applies to those that have cars built before July 3, 2013. My issue with that is that Ford noted that "vehicles having a build date of June 6, 2013 or later have improved transmission input shaft seals that are not likely to experience leaks." Obviously their "improved transmission input shaft seals" are not improved since my car with 60,000 un abused miles has encountered transmission issues. I would just like to see what my legal options are with this lawsuit as I don't think its right my vehicle is not eligible for this lawsuit. I believe that Ford never improved their input shaft seals since I encountered the same problem that was recalled.

When I come to a stop after doing freeway speeds 70-75 mph for 30 minutes it gives me a high temp warning. When I stopped to check under the hood it didn't look, or smell hot, but the warning light indicated high temp in the engine.

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.

While under warranty I was driving and the engine shut off. I had to coast to the shoulder on the expressway. This happened four times during the warranty and 6 times since the warranty expired. While sitting at a red light, the light turns green and I begin to accelerate. The engine stalled fours times and three other times it almost stalled. I took the car to the dealer while it was under warranty and only once they said they found a problem with the transmission. They replaced some small part but it continues to happen. One of the times it stalled I took a picture of the message on the dash board. It said: Engine failure service immediately. I showed that photo to the service manager and mechanic at Ford. Both of them said the same thing: "I've never seen that before". makes you feel good about the car you bought from them.also, the rear drivers side door won't open most of the time on the first attempt. I have to pull the handle two or three times before the door will open. For replaced some part on the doors because of a recall but that didn't fix the problem. It still does it. This posting asks you to specify the date of occurrence. It has happened so regularly now there are too many dates to list. I lsted may of 2014 when I bought the car. From then on it has had problem after problem after problem.

I bought my first brand new car a 2014 Ford Focus. I decided to go with a new car to have less problems in the long run. Boy was I wrong. After only 25000 miles my car began having transmission problems. I then brought it into the dealership and found out that Ford had issued a recall on the transmission module. So I had that replaced free of charge. My car now has 45000 miles on it and it began causing me problems again, so I thought it was the same thing as before. I brought it into the dealership to have it checked out. After a day of waiting I received a call entailing all that was wrong with my car. This time it as much worse, my catalytic converter needed to be replaced which I was told this was covered by my warranty. Now the next part I was told is the reason I am here writing this compliant. The dealership told me that my fuel tank had collapsed, and it was going to cost me upwards of $2100 to be fixed. So I then asked the question, what caused this to happen? I was told that this is a rare occurrence and there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. Now keep in mind I change my oil every 3000 miles and do all the normal maintenance to keep any car running smoothly. I began to research collapsed fuel tanks in 2014 Ford focuses, and I found that this not a rare occurrence and in fact it has happened to quite a few people. I hope this is found and read by corporate Ford, so a recall can be initiated and I can be compensated.
