When it's driving up a hill it's makes a sound where as the speed stays the same and do want increase. I believe it's the clutch is scraping when it runs. When driving same level does the same but sometimes unexpected.

On November 4, 2018.I was stopped to make a left-hand turn, I had both my hands on the steering-wheel, I looked left and then I looked right, I pushed down on the gas pedal with my right foot.the car started to go, then it jerked back, and then it died down to nothing and coasted out onto the main road. The car got hit it was a (total loss). On December 7,2018 I called up to tell Ford about the accident, and they said the car was under recall (recall-18S32), a male representative said someone would call me back in 15 days, but no-one ever did. On December 27,2018 I was reading on the internet about the recall, I read something that seemed odd about the recall, it is listed where it says remedies, it says(Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vechicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in February 2017) why does it say this" on December 27,2018 I called Ford and asked what does it mean, and the customer service representative said that she did not know. Is this a 2017 recall or a 2018 recall"

On October 11, 2018 the same day as hurricane michel, my 2016 Ford Focus St was involved in a single car accident where the vehicle cut off while in motion and lost complete control by itself, causing the car to flip on its side and be completely totaled. The cause of the crash was unknown at the time, but on October 25, 2018 Ford puts out a recall for the exact model Ford Focus because of an issue causing the car to randomly stall. They are telling owners to keep their fuel tank above half full to avoid this problem and I know at the time my fuel tank was not above half and the indicator lights were on. I believe the cause of this crash was from the recall that Ford put out only a few days after the accident totaling my 2016 Ford Focus St.

On 10/27/2018 approximately 1330 after making a right turn onto 29 in warrenton headed towards culpeper going about 45mph the car sputtered and stalled. Took 3 times to get the vehicle restarted. Then did it again after making a left onto 17 in bealeton. The vehicle would get up to about 20 mph and just stall in traffic. This is becoming a major safety issue especially having my 12 year old in the vehicle with me.

I bought 2016 Ford Focus, total 55,000 miles on it now 2018 and nothing but trouble in the first 6 months and there after, always in the garage for drive train 2 years now, straps on roof fell off twice, trunk out of line, new tires bought at 26,000 miles. Wire harness totally shut down car in 2017 while doing 65 on the highway, could not steer the car or stop it, brakes went to the floor car total shut down and this year 2018 the steering froze up at 55,000 miles, could not steer the car, , car runs like crap has power then no power, don't dare to pull out in traffic unless I have a long free space to get in, cause it hesitates, back up camera wont shut off till I have gone 100 feet forward, 2018 phone system keeps failing, new brakes, twice I almost got killed, cause I could not stop or steer the car on the highway I am so done with Ford and this car.. performance is the worst I have ever seen in a car, , I could go to the garage every week cause the performance is so bad, done done done, if I had gotten killed in this car the two worst times it failed, my family would have sued Ford and as far as I am concerned they should have taken the car back, would have been alot less head aches than a death law suit

Second time in only two years that the clutches have gone bad. They cause extreme studdering to the vehicle upon acceleration. It has caused some extremely close calls where cars think I am moving forward but the car shudders preventing forward motion for a few seconds.

I've had my 2016 Ford Focus SE 4-door for one year. It has almost 50,000 miles. I've had to have the clutch replaced once, and many other things, and the local Ford dealership said it's ready for another clutch soon. It's an automatic but grinds when changing gears. Also, the car is getting 15 miles per hour city and highway driving. The car is supposed to be a economy car/flex fuel. It's not, it's a lemon.

Windshield wipers stick in line of site safety hazard when driving. Has been in shop multiple times and still continues to be unsafe to drive.

- Pickerington, OH, USA

When I drive my "brand new" 2016 Ford Focus that only has 11K miles on it, the transmission slips, stalls, and shutters. It's a road hazard because when I accelerate the car doesn't have power to accelerate with up coming traffic on the road, especially the highway. Not only does this cause a hazard for me and people on the highway, but it's also an embarrassing ordeal to deal with. I have went to the Ford dealership I have bought the car through 5 times! Ford refuses to fix the problem even though they have the ability to do so, I don't know what to do and I feel very stuck.

I have a 2016 Ford Focus that I bought brand new in September of 2016. I have always had transmission problems with it. In the last month this will be the 3rd time my car has gone to Ford to be fixed. My car will randomly not start and a few hours later turn on. It will also throw false codes. After the first visit to Ford they rebuilt the transmission and replaced the battery and told me it would no longer be an issue. Yet, only three weeks later I am back to Ford because my car started shaking and died while I was backing down a hill. I had to have Ford come tow it when I brought it into them they refused to do anything and sent me home with it. And now not even 2 weeks later it is already dying again and my transmission still needs to be rebuilt. My rpms randomly fly up and the car shakes and feels like its getting no power to it. Yet no check engine light so they won't do anything. And the electrical in it keeps going out and my back up camera only works 5% of the time. This isn't acceptable I have a 1 year old have barely had the car a year and have 30,000 miles on it. And they won't fix

Just filled my gas tank up then as I left the gas station got about 1 mile up the road then while sitting at a stoplight I turned the ac on and idle dipped, car felt like it was going to die(which it did) then as I tried to re-start, cel came on and car would not start. About 2 more times and it fired up along with a service engine soon message... luckily for me I was a block away from future Ford Lincoln where I originally purchased the vehicle. 3 days later I got a call saying my vehicle was ready for pick up. I get there and they tell me that the reason was due to I had a aftermarket power wire routed over engine assembly causing electrical interference. So they disconnected what I payed a local professional audio shop $140 to install 2 days after I got the car. So, long story short, I get in the vehicle only to see that my fill up @ the gas station was gone... they used [xxx] near 3/4 of my tank of gas put over 100 miles on my car and I get 2 blocks away from the dealer and at the same light..... **** happens again!!!! took it right back to the dealer. Just got my car back after 13 days in the shop and I couldn't be more pissed! 4th time I have gone to pick it up after hearing that they fixed the problem only to get in the car, drive it, and have it happen yet another time! they even tried to tell me it was my right front axle causing the problem this time around. ( I just had the left front axle replaced 2 months back at another dealer) throwing grease on a crank sensor causing my cel with dtc "P0106, P0236, P0340, P0344, P0365, P051B, P0532, P06A7, P08A9, P08B9"...bla bla bla... they don't know what the problem is but they keep wanting to tell me they found the problem! what a waist of both our time. Now the car is in my driveway, wont start, throwing about 8 to 12 codes and im waiting to hear from Ford customer care.

I have been noticing for the past 4 months that my car has little to know pick up accelerating, specially up a hill. It seems to be bogging or shuttering. I recently received a recall notice for the transmission and the 2016 and I am wondering if this is the problem that is affecting my car.

I purchased the vehicle Feb 23, 2017 with 137 miles on it. Drove it off the lot within a month of having the car it starting making a weird noise kind of like a clanking noise in the front engine area, contacted the dealership they stated this was normal noises for a 2016 Ford Focus. The noises continued to get louder took it back this time they said it was the clutch downshifting(mind you it makes the noise before the car even has a chance to even get to a speed high enough to shift so how is it downshifting?) it also is having issues with the remote start you start it with the remote start it shuts off, start it again shuts off again, start it for the 3rd time it starts you go to unlock the car to get in and the car shuts off again ( not normal and it was installed from the factory not aftermarket) now the car has been hesitating to shift as well as lunging when it does shift and when we bring it to the dealerships service department they tell us this is all normal and they have a bulletin from Ford stating that it is "normal " for this year vehicle.

"takata recall" when I take off my car jerks and almost jumps like. It acts like its double shifting or having a hard time shifting. I had Ford look at it and they said they couldnt help me until it gets worse. I will be really upset if something goes after my warranty is gone. A brand new car shouldnt drive like this.they told me its the clutching system that causes it to do this. That is what they told me at Ford, but eont replace until it gets worse.

Car was driving fine in motion on a city street. All of a sudden it wouldn't accelerate properly. Accelerator was push to the floor, RPM's went up to 6,000, car was jerky. At 6,000 RPM the car wouldn't go faster than 40 miles per hour. Speed limit was 50. There was no warning and no dash indicator lights came on. This has happened 2 times on this vehicle, once in October 2016 and once on April 1, 2017. After the first incident, I had the car towed to a dealer. They stated it was a computer problem and reprogramed my car. In between the two incidents, I received a letter from Ford Motor Company dated February 2017. They acknowledged that the car "may exhibit symptoms of intermittent loss of transmission engagement while driving, no-start, or lack of power, usually accompanied by an illuminated service engine soon on the instrument cluster." The letter authorizes replacement of the transmission control module, but it is the opinion of the dealer and Ford Motor Co. That they have to see the problem in action for them to replace it. I believe this is a serious and dangerous problem and has a high probability of causing an accident. Car is currently at the dealer. I am not confident that they will fix the problem.

While driving on highway 95 approximately 65 miles per hour southbound I heard a loud explosion, I did not feel any impact on the automobile but began to hear rattling on the top of the roof. When I pulled over, I saw that sunroof had shattered and exploded. The sunroof cover on the inside of the vehicle was closed and had not been opened. No object hit the sunroof, it just exploded. I have pictures. No other damage to the vehicle anywhere.
