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.

I have had issues with my transmission for awhile. I noticed it first when going up steeper hills if I have to come to a stop and continue up the hill the transmission would jump as if it couldnt get into gear. Then when traveling on the freeway through the mountains we were driving on cruse control when out of no where the rmp's jumped up to 5000+ I had to get the car off of cruse control and try and help it to stick back into gear. I now have taken my car into the penske Ford dealership and they are saying that there was a recall on the transmission, but when doing the diagnostic on in they found the transmission control modual was covered under the warrenty but the clutch also needed to be replaced but that wasnt under the warrenty. But there is a recall on my transmission! and I should not have to pay 2K+ to get my clutch fixed, when my clutch is a part of my transmission. I have seen that there is many lawsuits about this, and I hope I dont have to do that.

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.

Bought the car in March 2018, by May 2018, car had trouble with staying started after I started it. It would shut off before reaching the end of my driveway. But once it was jumped it would start back up and drive again for a bit. By August, it was happening at least once a week. Then it stopped working all together. Couldn't jump it, replaced the battery, it didn't help, took it up to the dealer, they weren't able to identify the issue, took it to our local car shop, it was there from August til the end of September where they were unable to identify the issue, still hasn't been resolved but it is currently driving although it is having issues as well. Dash will go black, when idling it shutters, no screen until it's actually started. Rear view camera had quit then started to work again.

Entire electrical sync system has shut down and no longer functions. While the sync was going out, the speakers would crackle and make loud, startling pop sounds. This caused jerky driving as they would pop without any notice, even if the sync system was turned off. Recently, the wind shield wipers turned on and were sporadically increasing/decreasing in speed and would not turn off. The car was on (not the engine) and parked when the wipers turned on. Attempted to turn the car off, reset by opening the doors, and turning the car back on. They paused and then started up again once the car was driving on city streets. The speakers popping and the radio malfunction occurs while driving, while parked, when the car is on, and when it is off. This problem has been getting worse and worse over the past year.

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.

Hello, I'm seeking help from your department as I am an owner of a Ford 2014 Focus. I've had three transmission/clutch replacements after purchasing the car brand new in 2014. Usually the car becomes unstable/jerky when driving which signalled a clutch replacement. However over the past two months after two more clutch replacements the transmission/engine ceased while driving in towson md inner city streets. The first being exactly over two weeks ago and which a new clutch was installed. I picked up the vehicle and two days later called the delearship stating it is still not driving right. I could feel something was wrong. I noticed sudden jerks and what seemed like the transmission was wearing off again. I was informed by the service person mike mazor that this is normal and the adaptive systems will have to get used to my driving pattern and to give it 1000 miles. I expressed my concern that something needs to be done because the vehicle felt unsafe to drive. Two days later while traveling on interstate route 40, the car suddenly decelerated, made a loud roaring sound and when I pushed on the pedal it seemed as if it was on neutral and did not want to move. All I heard was the engine rerve. Extremely panicked and scared I quickly moved over to the yellow line without causing an accident or injuring myself. I had the car towed to the delearship closeby as I felt very unsafe driving any further. I was informed today by alpacker Ford that they worked on the vehicle and the engine light is no longer on, the car runs just fine. They will be doing one more test tomorrow to see if they can replicate the problem. I'm totally baffled as to how the engine light turned off or why they can't find the issue. I'm afraid this car is going to cause a terrible accident if I keep driving and and pleading help from your department to get Ford to find the fault and fix urgently.

2014 Ford Focus has shut down while driving two times. Once in the middle of a busy road I was able to coast the car into a parking lot. The second time in my neighborhood, both times tranmissuon fault service now flashed, the car shuddered until it was at a complete stop. I've had the clutch replaced/fixed 2 times neither covered under fully and I was responsible to pay my warranty deductible. I have had the trandmission control module fixed once and now in the shop again, but was told they don't know what the issue is, haven't seen the codes that populated before. Each time I drive that car I literally risk my life, to have a car just drop RPM to 0, shudder and jerk until I can find somewhere to park it. I drive 40 miles one way to work taking up to 5 different freeways. At what point does my safety and those driving around me become an issue" when I stall out mid highway? when the car jerks to a stop and someone slams into me" each time the car has been taken in, I am told the problem is fixed, yet I find myself back again within months for the same issue. Losing power on a car while being in full motion going up to 45 mph, is not safe for anyone. Having to drive a car that consistently shakes and jerks while in motion, is not safe. How many more times does this need to occur before someone realizes this model is not safe!

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.

Some 2011-2016 fiesta and 2012-2016 Focus vehicles equipped with a dps6 transmission may exhibit intermittent concerns of loss of transmission engagement while driving, intermittent no syart or loss of power. These symptoms are usually accompanied by an illuminated check engine lamp. Additionally, symptoms may include messages in the message center indicating hill start assist is not available, that parking aid malfunction/ service is required or the transmission prndl/S gear selector on the instrument cluster may flash. Diagnostic trouble codes dtcs U0100, U0101, U1013 and/or P0606 will be present or stored in the powrttrain control module (PCM). I turned on car from walmart parking lot. A message appeared on saying transmission fault service now and check engine lamp came on. As I drove back home the car pulls back as I stop at a traffic light. Took it to carmax and they said to take it a place to check transmission. Baumann complete auto repair center said that the car needs to be completely reprogrammed. Tsb 16-0129.

Whenever I accelerate from a stop, my car hesitates & "jumps" a few times before picking up speed. It happens very randomly from what I can tell. Sometimes doing it often and other times it accelerates normally.
