After having a recall done in December of 2018 for the canister purge valve, or know as recall 18S32 all that was performed was a reprogram and nothing else. A year later my vehicle is experiencing the same problems as before, the vehicle only has 65K miles on it. I contacted multiple Ford dealerships as well as Ford's corporate offices and was told that I would have to come out of my own pocket for any repairs that needed to be done regarding the problems I'm experiencing, because recall 18S32 was already performed on my vehicle. After fueling up and starting my car the car will almost stall out, as well as trying to stall when sitting at a red light or stop sign. I'm also experiencing a lack of power when accelerating. My obd scanner comes up with a fault code "P1450 unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum". a lot of people are experiencing this problem even after getting the recall 18S32 performed on their vehicles. It seems like a temporary solution was put in place and unfortunately many people are suffering from it, I would like to see Ford release a permanent fix to a potentially very dangerous problem!

Sticky canister purge valve

- Tigard, OR, USA

Each time you put gas into the vehicle it will not start for several minutes. The engine keeps trying to start but it will not kick over. Also the car has stalled while being driven down the highway and it has taken several minutes to start back. The dealership where I bought the car replaced a sensor in the gas tank however this did not fix the problem. After doing much research I have learned that Ford had a similar issue with the 2.0 liter Ford Focus

- Morganton, NC, USA

Recall notice was 'software' update to detect hardware issue. No issue detected. The hardware that had issued failed 2 weeks later. Ford states that the recall was completed and cannot open. The equipment (canister valve) that the recall was created for failed.

- Las Vegas, NV, USA

Had recall service done for fuel tank deformation issue or so the dealerships says. But after I the car back it seems to be running great but 5 miles down the road it stalls on me and fails to crank when it did it wouldnt continue to run or idle for long before stalling again. After 30 mo S or so of priming fuel pump and retrying and letting set. It cranks up and runs fine. Recall needs to be further researched or dealership needs to be investigated for fraudulently claiming to complete recall procedures and not doing so.

My can used to get 400 plus miles when the has tank is full. Now it gets less and study get less when I fill up. When I step on the accelerator the car sound like air rushing in and the RPM's rev up way to high. This been going on for a few weeks. This happen while driving the freeway, highway, and the neighborhood streets.

Over the past year my Ford Focus 2015 has begun suffering a terrible "shuddering" when going from stop to moving (specifically the first shift range of 15-20mph), and esp. When going from stop to moving on a turn (stopping at a stop sign then turning for example), pushing more gas doesn't seem to help accelerate any faster. The clutch has been replaced before but the issue just keeps getting worse, and it really sucks.

- Lexington, KY, USA

When trying to accelerate from stop my car sputters/ stutters and tries to stall out. It also has something wrong in the electrical system that has caused my stereo and other functions to no longer work

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

When I press on the gas to accelerate after stopping at a stop sign or red light, (after I have driven the car a small distance) the car jerks and jumps and does not want to accelerate. I am not sure if this is coming from the transmission or not, but it worries me because I do not want to be stuck in the middle of an intersection because my car will not go. It has been happening a lot, but I have not had it in to a repair shop yet and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the bad transmissions that were put into the Ford focuses. This happens weather I am driving on a city street or on a highway and it is very concerning. I got a letter in the mail from Ford back in December 2018 that stated my car was having issues with certain things and that they would be sending out a recall in the first quarter of 2019, but I never received any correspondence from Ford after that. This issue has been happening for a long time.

- Comstock Park, MI, USA

Purchased used from a Ford dealer used 2015 Ford Focus. Was told that vehicle had to lern my style of driving. Car shutters when going accelerating, take time to shift between 1,2,3, gears. Also shutters at other speeds in the middle of shifting. Cannot shift quickly from parked or in stopped position like at a stop light or when merging into traffic. Car also now revs high and has to be cooled down after driving. I cannot trust vehicle to be driven by other family members due to transmission and engine acceleration problems. Has been an ongoing problem but dealership charges for diagnostics and states that it is the way I drive.

This complaint is in regards to the Ford Focus/fiesta dps6 transmission issue. Due to the dry dual clutch system issue, the vehicle engine would shake and rumble violently while moving. This mostly occurs when the supposedly automatic transmission shifting from the first and second gear. The first time I reported this to the dealer, they replaced the clutch which stopped the rumble issue until few months later, the rumble returned. Again I reported this to the dealership however this time they blamed it on the purge valve in the gas tank which they replaced. This did not fix the rumble issue and the dealership did not try to verify the rumble. They simply did not acknowledge it by stating they could not replicate the problem. Few months later while I was on the freeway, the rumble occurred again but worse than before. Immediately my vehicle lost power as if it's stuck at first gear. The vehicle's speed dropped tremendously which is extremely dangerous since I was on the freeway and everyone was going 60+ mph. Luckily I was able to pull over safely without getting hit. I restarted the vehicle and it ran continue to rumble but not as violently, the check engine light was on. I quickly brought the vehicle to the dealership for repair. Even though I have a bumper to bumper warranty, the warranty company refuse to cover the transmission repair because the dual clutch system is technically a manual clutch. For that reason they do not cover it. As a consumer, we have no idea exactly what type of parts the vehicle contains. The vehicle was advertised as automatic transmission which in common sense, it does not contain a manual clutch. The dealership was requesting $2000+ fee to replace this clutch. At the same time of this inspection, the purge valve in the gas tank was also defected and needs to be replaced.
