Manufacturer recall #18S32 NHTSA recall #18V735 I was driving home from work. I was probably about a mile and half away from my work. I was approaching a red light and began to slow down and prepare to stop. All of a sudden, the display shows "not in drive" when it obviously was or I wouldn't be moving... next thing, lights/electronics were flickering and car just turned off in drive. What was really scary and almost costed me my life was my hazards were not displaying to surrounding drivers there were a few times when I got yelled or honked at but 1 or 2 times I almost got ran over.... after my friend came to help me push it out of road, he got it in park, restarted and got car starting again.... we took the car to our family mechanic and he took a look at it. He was going to charge me a lot for the part needed to get fixed. Which brought me to go see if I can find a part for cheaper or a mechanic for cheaper. That's when I discovered about this VIN and car recall.

- Kings Mountain, NC, USA

Was driving down the interstate at roughly 80 miles per hour when the check engine light came on. Engine lost power and would not accelerate. Engine started making a loud noise. Car will still start but is not drivable and engine has no oil pressure and mechanic said it downshifted to 4th gear at 83 mph. Car has been serviced regularly and has given no indication of engine problems. Was quoted $4500 at first Ford dealership to repair car with a used motor with equal mileage. 2nd Ford dealership quoted $3700 with rebuilt motor. Has been looked over by 2 mechanics including Ford and other than reading diagnostics nobody can provide a reason the oil pressure dropped or why the car downshifted into 4th gear uping the RPM's causing engine problems. They said there is no other problems with the car at this point other than the engine. Very no smart to replace an engine without knowing the what caused the initial one to fail.

Vehicle sputters on take off from stop or a slow down back to take off. Has had transmission clutch replaced as well as spark plugs, fuel injectors cleaned, battery, alternator. Ford says it's how their transmissions work but it has almost caused me to have many wrecks. Now that I am past their 'warranty' period they won't even look at it without charging me even with the same issues since I purchased the car.

Vehicle experiences a heavy shudder when accelerating. It will also jump forward when changing gears. Never received updates, recall or safety notices from Ford. Called dealership on several occasions and was told it's how the car drives. Time goes on and the problem gets worse. I bring it into Ford dealership and they tell me my clutch is changing at 500rpm as opposed to 250 RPM. My mileage was 60,200 when I arrived. They told me they will not cover this cost even though the problem started well before the warranty. Estimated repair is $2,400 on a car I owe $9,000 on. This is a nightmare.

Vehicle manufactured 06/2016. Vehicle has shuttered when accelerating from a stop since purchase in fall 2016. I have brought the vehicle to the dealer for this and they informed me there is nothing they can do about it, it is just the way the 2016 Ford Focus is built. On 31 August 2020 the vehicle was off in a parking spot. When I turned the vehicle on and shifted into reverse, to back out, the vehicle would not move and the service engine light is came on. When I put the vehicle in reverse the dashboard indicator reads R and the back up camera activates but the tires do not spin and the vehicle does not move. To back out of a parking space I have to push the vehicle out. I have driven the vehicle approx 30 miles since this happened and the shuttering is much worse than before. When starting to move from a stop the vehicle struggles for about 5 seconds before acceleration. Vehicle is at 82,395 miles. Consumer has been in contact with the dealer and has replaced the tcm which was under recall but issue is recurring. Dealer is asking for $3,000 to have it fixed. Consumer has contacted the manufacturer and was provided #20B23 (replacement of clutch activator motor). Consumer provided info to dealer but vehicle is not qualified does not have error codes listed.
