I've not had a fuel gauge since my 4th warranty repair (turbo replacement turned catastrophic and incurred warranted engine replacement as they blew it in shop and had it for almost three months) and I am not happy at all. And I am now gonna have to go back and get it fixed as this is dangerous for me. I keep a gallon of fuel I'N my car, so I'm basically huffing fumes all the dang time im in my car.. I must keep a gallon of fuel in the car due to the sudden stalls and the subsequent crank, wont start issues. Up until after my car was "repaired".. I didn't have issue until id done run out of fuel and or run out of outa fuel and stalled in most precarious places whilst in motion and driving down the road. I'd run out of fuel and my car would sputter and die. I've walked up to 12 miles to get to a gas station luckily. I am not cool with this [xxx] cause I bought it with lil to no mileage and new off the lot.... [xxx] has a ring to it if anyone could help... to an erratic at best case I've been stranded with no phone, no food nor water at least three times. And they think I'm gonna bring it in for service and allow them to screw me over again? don't think I have a lot of trust for Ford no mo.... I hope they stop playing around with people's lives as seemingly expendables and wasting our valuable time and money. I've lost a job from it and that's no joke.

We purchased the vehicle in 2016. We immediately noticed the problem with the transmission during acceleration. When you accelerate the car stutters and lags and feels like a stall on every acceleration. We took it in and was told that is was the economic part of the vehicle and it was suppose to do that. It has never been better nor did they ever fix it upon servicing. Now we learned it's an issue with all Ford Focus for these years.

Car was taken to Ford dealership to have the recalls done for the transmission, fuel tank evap and door latch. Ford completed the recalls for the fuel system and door latch at this poticular time the transmission was not fixed.(did not pass Ford shutter test). At this time the check engine light was on because of the transmission, according to the Ford dealership. I picked the car up amd drove with my son the vehicle did not drive right because transmission issues. I contacted the dealership again after contacting Ford Motor Company about my concern with the drivability of the car. I made an appointment but had to wait approximately three weeks because they were replacing the floor in their shop. The check engine light remained on the entire time until the appointment. After dropping he car off and Ford diagnosing the problem, I received a call saying Ford motor is now covering the transmission and they will have to wait for parts to finish it. At this time they also informed me that the check engine light is now on because of the purge valve. I had barely driven the car since the last visit when the recalls were taken care of?? they stated that the purge valve would not be covered because the recall had been completed on the fuel tank. Reluctantly I told them to replace at my cost. The dealership called to say the vehicle was complete. I picked it up that evening and made it 7 miles away from the dealer and the check engine light came on once again. I called the dealer immediatley to let them know and they could not get me in right away. My son and I took it for a ride the following day and approximaty 40 miles the car lost power and could not go above 40mph on the interstate. I called to make another appointment when they diagnosed this time both catylitic convertors are bad and will cost $2100 to repair. What caused these to go bad this was not an issue until reca

We had a little over a quarter tank of fuel. We going shopping so we topped off the fuel tank this morning. After we drove approximately 80 miles, it started snowing heavily. I noticed something with the car. I had no acceleration like the engine died. Regained power for a few minutes until the engine died. I was lucky enough to park on the side of the road. Tried restarting the engine several times. After a half hour, I tried again only for the engine to sputter to and idle. It idled for 3 or 4 secondsand died again. After another half hour I tried again. I started and ran about ten minutes. I had the car towed home in fear of stalling out again.

Vehicle was in motion when the 'stop safely now' alert came on and disabled power to the car. I was able to stop the vehicle safely but unfortunately, it didn't turn on again so it had to be towed to my house. After trying multiple times with no luck, I had it towed to the Ford dealer for inspection and repairs. I know this defect is known by Ford since some recalls have been issued but to try to repair the concern. My car's 'electric unique component' 8 year warranty is still valid but Ford is trying to charge me for the repairs. The vehicles 12V battery died due to the problem but they made me purchase a new one for $180. I believe I shouldn't have been charged since the issue was caused by the cars defect. The car has been at the dealer for 2 weeks with no resolution. I just feel I wanted to make a complaint to maybe get assistance with Ford acknowledging that the issue should be covered under the warranty. Thank you for your time and attention.

Everytime I pump gas in my car and I turn it back on, it wants to die immediately. One time it took about 5 tries before it actually worked. I had just gotten the recall done for the fuel tank where it was reprogrammed so it can detect an issue with the canister purge valve. And now my engine hesitates to start.
