While driving on a highway my vehicle 2014 Ford Focus SE began to sputter. Continues to do so until I got in the street on my home and began going under 10 mph. Once I entered my home to put some items down before returning back out, I attempted to start my car. I noticed upon entry of my vehicle that my radio was on without my keys being in the ignition, also my driver door was still open. I attempted to start my vehicle but nothing happened, it didn't tick nor turn. What did happen though was my entire computer system began to cut on as if the vehicle had started and turned. Radio on, dashboard lights present and then cut off, alert for my low tire, trip timer began running. Then an error code regarding something in the lines of fuel. Wasn't quick enough to take a picture of the error message. When I removed my key and called my sister to inform her that I may need a ride for myself and my 6 year old daughter, the dashboard needles jumped vigorously. While sitting. In the vehicle again, the computer system opened up and my trip timer began running and the radio. Again without the keys in the ignition, they were in my lap. The entire night while my vehicle was stationary periodically my car would cut in and off, and engage without the keys in the ignition nor present near he car. Consequently, the constant running of the vehicle by it self ran the battery dead as well. Attempted to contact the Ford dealership, where I purchased the vehicle, and check service and the technician was very rude and continuously interrupted me. When questioning regarding and open recall, 18S32, and mentioning that not only did I call the nthsa number but I also read the recall regarding my vehicle serviceman became even more rude and even disconnected the call.

1.) while in driving motion my car acts like it stalls or gets stuck in a gear or has a problem shifting. 2.) while in reverse motion my car sometimes wants to act like it can't go in reverse, like I can't back up or drive. I restart the car sometimes & then it's fine.

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

I was driving last February, 2018, low on gas. About to pull off interstate to refuel. Less than a mile from exit, engine cut off completely. No indicator light ever came on that I was low on fuel. I pulled over into emergency lane. While waiting for tow operator, my Focus was side swiped by a tractor trailer and totaled by car insurance. Luckily, neither myself nor brother were injured. We were in vehicle. It was terrible. I just wanted someone with NHTSA to know. I do not believe I had a two liter engine in the thing, which is what the incomplete recall indicates.

Car started stuttering power with in 3 months of having it. Jerks and hesitates when accelerating. Clutch assembly has been replaced 3 times. Car only has 30,000 miles. Sept of 2018 while crossing bridge without any warning car just stopped in mid drive! very scary! towed to Ford. Was charged for some malfunction??!! car is still shuttering and has difficulty getting to speed. Filed complaint with Ford back in 2016 that I didn't feel car was safe. No response! after this last incident I am afraid to drive very far for fear it will just stoop running mid drive. Avoid all highways because of this

When trying to accelerate, the vehicle will make a sort of stuttering, or have a delay in acceleration. Sometimes I notice the rpms increasing without reason, almost as if it skips shifting maybe or has a delayed shift" I have not tried in "sport" mode to see if manually shifting solves the problem. I also have not been able to identify any other common things, such as a certain fuel level, internal or external temperature, or rate of intended acceleration, though I would not rule out anything. I have noticed this happening both in town driving and highway driving, the delay in acceleration or stuttering. There is also a distinct shudder that happens occasionally. I am not sure if it is an issue with fuel (flooding maybe? or a delay in fuel injection") or an issue with the power train (any issue in the transmission with shifting?) or maybe an issue in speed control (a missed connection between the accelerator pedal or throttle control cables and the next step in the chain?). I just know that sometimes I need to accelerate to get in a spot in a line of traffic and when the car doesn't 'go' when I need it to and it shudders or has a stutter or delay, it causes the car I was getting in front of to have to brake and if they don't, then my children in the back seat are put at risk. This has happened multiple times, not just the date indicated.

- Bowling Green, MO, USA

Pulled out of my parking spot and the vehicle started shuttering and lurching forward and then completely shut off. Thought it was a dead battery but upon further inspection something is wrong with the fuel line. When I pour gasoline in, it comes right out of the bottom of the car.

- Williamson, WV, USA

The car lost all power and speed on the highway. There were no lights indicating there was a problem and left us stuck on side of the road. Since the incident the car has stopped several times. I also took to Ford dealer where it was purchased making a complaint.

- Biloxi, MS, USA

My car would stall when I was turning or driving, but at first I could turn it off and back on and it would run just fine. Then my car started showing me that I had a full tank of gas when I didn't. I found out that the issue is the gas tank, a $450 fix. These plastic gas tanks are collapsing on itself, my friend had a 2012 Focus and was told that the gas tank was shrinking and that it would keep shrinking until the gas tank was almost completely gone. This needs to be a recall!!!

- Wyandotte, MI, USA

I have read plenty reviews and even checked my credit report where Ford cars of the 2014 has recalls on the fuel pump or fuel system. When I first brought the car we had to get the clutch replace and it still had gaging issues. The car cuts off in traffic and I do not have an extended warranty due to the fact that kt would never cover pre-existing conditions. We even called a Ford and they would not help us. This fuel system needs to be fixed.
