The capless gas tank is trapping air, causing the car to "burp" and sometimes turning engine off even when driving. This has happened numerous times in the last 8 months. But more frequently lately. I was driving down the interstate and my engine cut off from it. Went to get it checked out and the service centers keep giving me the same response everywhere.

Dual clutch and electrical wiring harness shifted transmission in drive when I was in park resulting the car wrecking into my garage. Canister purge valve stuck open resulting in low fuel pressure causing the vehicle to stall when driving on the highway. Several occasions the car gave me inaccurate gas mileage miles to empty causing me to become stranded.transmission shutter when the vehicle is off but you open a door or turn on a light. Trunk came open while I was in the car wash. Another ncident almost causing me to wreck when I wss braking the car accelerated. Death trap!

Car transmission jerks, sputters, accelerates and stalls. In addition now having issues with fuel tank not guaging and now it hesitates, stalls out and is not safe. Car suddenly stopped running had to be towed to the shop and shop advised the fuel tank guage was not operating and registering gas. Now I am going to have to take it back to the shop as it appears it may involve fuel tank, fuel pump and vapor management. I only know this is because searching on line I see many simiilar complaints about the jerking transmission problems, and problems with the vehicle stalling out. It says Ford is not acknowleding this as a problem. I believe they need to recall this and fix this although it appears based on reviews even after repeated attempts to fix it is still not resolved. Many customers have had to pay thousands of dollars. This vehicle is not safe to drive and is in a class action lawsuit.

At times the car won't start, then after a few minutes it starts. Cuts off while driving at any speed as if it is out of gas. Cuts off on the interstate while driving at high speed or low speed. First the batter and oil light appears in red on dash when pushing the gas nothing happens and it cuts off. It stalls more and more, the fuel gage somes goes past full or fluctuates when driving. After putting gas in car it stalls more. Also, as I pull off after stopped or initially, the car hesitates and skips and the tires skip when until it gets past 15 -20 miles then the transmission is steady when it's not salling.. when it rains the passenger side floor and roof leaks water constantly when I am driving in water the passenger side floor gets wet. When it rains and the car is parked water leaks and the passenger roof is wet from front to back as well as about 2 inches of water on the passenger front and back on the floor.

Noticed fuel gauge inaccurate, miles to empty inaccurate, engine cutting out while coasting to stop, feeling gas pedal unresponsive or suddenly fueling engine unexpectedly. Learned from vehicle inspection at dealership service dept. That fuel tank is "delaminated" and deformed, and tank, valve and fuel pump all need replacing. Cost: $1500. Not considerered under warranty even though, according to them, this is a manufacturing flaw described by a tsb years ago.

While driving down the road at 30 mph my vehicle stalled and lost complete power. I was nearly involved in an accident, but fortunately the alert drivers around me were able to brake in time. A friendly samaritan helped to push my vehicle to the side of the road. Thankfully I was physically okay, but emotionally not so much. I purchased a brand new 2014 Ford Focus off of the lot and have since had nothing but issues. I'm still paying on the vehicle today and now it is not in use unless I can come up with $2,500 to repair the entire fuel system. This system should not have failed at only 67,000 miles. There is an issued recall on similar Ford vehicles manufactured from 2013-2015 which is the same time frame in which my vehicle was manufactured. After repeated attempts to come to a resolution through Ford customer service, they won't even offer information on the type of fuel system used on the vehicles with the recall because they don't want to be liable for this defect. I'm out of a vehicle at 67,000 miles and have no consumer protection. It's scary to read about the 100's of people who experienced the exact same fuel system malfunction at similar mileage. This is a serious safety issue that Ford needs to address immediately. In addition, since I have had the vehicle the transmission has been jerky and I can't even accelerate onto a highway. Ford had vehemently denied that it was anything wrong with the manufacturer transmission and yet since they have issued a recall on the transmission, but now tell me I'm too far past my warranty(which was only 7,000 miles ago) I'm heartbroken because I don't have the money to repair this sort of system, especially knowing it is a defect on their part.

- Longmont, CO, USA

Vehicle stalled while traveling 30 mph, same fuel system that is under recall on Ford vehicles manufactured through 2013-2015. It is obviously the same exact issue. I nearly lost my life driving a 3 year old car that I'm still paying on. The fuel system completely failed while the vehicle was in motion. I had just scheduled service on the vehicle earlier that morning because it was not reading the fuel level correctly and stalling when I filled the tank up. The Ford dealership wants to charge me $2,500 to have it replaced when they know that the system is defective because of the manufacturer part.

When filling with car at gas station the auto pump shut off does not function spewing fuel all over. This has happened multiple times at different gas stations. Fuel gauges on car are not accurate. Took car to Ford there is a tsb 15-0034 for this issue. The fuel tank was distorted/deformed causing the fuel pump to malfunction overflowing into the evap canister. This is a dangerous situation and is a fire hazard when filling the car with gas. This issue should be a recall due to fire and safety hazards.

Transmission: The vehicle has been stuttering and then unexpectedly jumping forward when pressing the accelerator since about 1,500 miles. It's been getting continuously worse since. The first incident that truly endangered my safety was when I was pulling out from a 3-way stop, it almost stalled in front of incoming traffic, then suddenly propelled forward into a gas station curb & blew out my tire. The second incident, which is why I'm filing this report, was with my 2 daughters in the car, leaving a stop light at a highway intersection. It was raining, and I was trying to get up to the 55mph speed limit but the car kept chugging and stuttering. Other vehicles were going around me as my speed slowly climbed, & at almost 50 mph the car suddenly accelerated and, despite tapping my brakes, continued to do so until it hit 65 mph. I was surrounded by other vehicles, and pressed the brake harder to avoid hitting the line of cars in front of me, to the left of me, or having to swerve into the ditch on my right at this high rate of speed, because tapping the brakes cautiously was having effect on the cars acceleration. When it stopped quickly accelerating, it continued to stutter, but seemed to level off at my chosen speed. Since then, its continued to stutter and chug and jump forward almost every time I accelerate, whether from a complete stop or to go faster than my current speed. It's terrifying.

- Battle Ground, WA, USA

While accelerating, vehicle frequently stalls and/or hesitates to continue acceleration creating a jerking affect until it can actually catch again or provide fuel to accelerate. This typically occurs when pressing on the pedal both when stopped/start or if in motion and accelerate to go onto the highway. This happens frequently while driving on a daily basis.
