While driving the vehicle in traffic, my 17 year old daughter has experienced extreme shuttering, followed by engine shut off. This has happened 3 times at multiple speeds, once decelerating at a red light, once accelerating while merging into traffic and once while driving 45 mph on a highway. Luckily, she has not yet been involved in a car accident as a result. After the first incident, the car was serviced at a local Ford dealership in 12/2018. The same problem has occurred 2 additional times since then. This particular VIN is not under a recall although we are experiencing the same safety issues other Ford Focus 2014 recalled vehicles have reported.

I bought a 2014 Ford Focus back in June of 2018. I had to have the transmission fixed a few days later due to an open recall. After that I had no issues. October 2018 I found out about the most recent recall with the cpv and such. Since then, my car has not run good. It jerks, acts like it doesn't want to go, and my fuel reading is almost always wrong. I have two young children and am scared to drive my car. When I call my local dealership they tell me there's is no remedy available yet and to just keep it at under half a tank of gas. Which is stupid since I can't get an accurate fuel reading! I can fill it completely full, drive one mile, then suddenly be on 3/4 tank. That's is ridiculous.

My car actually stopped on me on Sunday May 13, 2018 off I-35 on freeway. I was driving with my son and daughter in law in the car and I begin to feel the car just slow down. It was frightening because I was on the freeway and with no warning, the car slowed down to "turtles pace" and I tried to excelerate but nothing happened. Had to immediately get in lane to get car off the freeway. It stalled out. We had to wait for hours in the dark until my son came to pick us up. I had to leave the car until the next day. I had the car towed to car repair and he told me he could not fix it because of recall. I had to pay the car repair for the part he ordered that he was not able to use. I then had the car towed to auto nation Ford in arlington, tx and they charged me to fix the car and did not recognize the recall. I felt like auto nation Ford did not even try to see anything as a recall they just wanted there money. My car still hesitates and I am really afraid to drive it but have no chose

Car stalled while driving down a major highway, had to have it towed. Ford has no current fix for the recall on the PCV valve. The only solution they gave me was to keep the fuel tank above half full ("until the vehicle is serviced for this concern customers are advised to maintain at least 1/2 tank of fuel"), however when the issue occurred for the second time I had over 3/4 of a tank. Ive called the customer service line and also talked to the dealership from where I bought the vehicle. Would not offer a rental car because the car is still deemed safe to drive ("an engine stall while driving without warning or without the ability to restart, can increase the risk of a crash.")... although in the recall letter received says "may increase risk of crash". also with this recall they say "causing the plastic fuel tank to deform, resulting in an inaccurate or erratic fuel gauge indication" how am I to keep more than a half a tank if the vehicle does not register the correct amount of fuel in the tank. The car is a 2014 and has 54000miles..

Takata recall. While going down the highway, my car shuddered harder than usual and seemed like it lost power. My transmission light came on soon after this. I took my car to a local dealership and they explained that there was a recall on my car for a control module that would cause my car to stall without notice. When my car stalled it made a loud knock and my clutch brake broke. The dealership told me that the breaking of my clutch brake could not be covered in the recall because it is different section of the transmission. My question is if the transmission is faulty to begin with then wouldn't it affect my clutch brake and cause it to be under too much stress? I now have to pay 1500$ to have it fixed, but the recall is free of charge.

Takata recall.engine stalls w/O notice, inside cab reeks of gas smell. Ford remedy is to keep gas tank 1/2 full. Doesn't work. Just filled up and still stalled while entering into the freeway. I did not use cheap fuel. Very dangerous and the remedy does not work. Took car to dealership twice now and they confirmed it's 1 of 10 Focus on the recall. In other words 10% of their Focus have this recall and symptoms. I called Ford Corp and they gave me 2 options, 1)drive car with 1/2 tank or more 2) don't drive it at all. I need it for work #2 is not an option. Ford will not give a loaner car even I told them their remedy is not working and can cause bodily injury or even death.

I took my car in for the issue regaring the recall for "the engine may stall due to a stuck canister purge valve (cpv) within the fuel vapor system" and my second transmission fix within 10,000 miles of the last transmission replacement. The first transmission module fix, my car was in the shop for 19 days. When I recieved my car back, my transmission was shuttering so bad and wouldnt accelerate and was stuck in a gear and would not break or speed up for a couple of seconds. When I tried to take the car back in, they told me that "they fixed the recalled issue so I would have to pay for the diagnostic." In November, I found out that from may to Nov. I had been driving on a broken transmission clutch. In November, they finally put in a new transmission clutch, however dont have record of them checking for the recall on the fuel system. When I took my car in for work, they told me that it was going to take a couple of hours, then it turned into one to two days and put me in a rental, however didnt communicate with me about the status of my car. I called multiple times a day, however didnt recieve any details from my mechanic. On Saturday, I called again and talked to the front desk agent. I told him that my car was supposed to be done the day prior and I hadnt recieved any update on my car. Later that day, I finally recieved a voicemail stating that they had finished the transmission clutch, however found a oil leak and they "had been doing what best for me" and had been fixing it without communicating to me about it. My car stayed in the shop for an additonal 4 days to fix the oil leak. I ended up being charged for the rental car after I was told that everything was under warrenty and recall so I didnt have to pay for anything. I didnt even know that they were doing this work on my car until days prior. After more than a month, I am still dealing with this problem.
