A few months ago, my car started to shake (in a jerking, forward and back motion), and struggle to accelerate. It would make this noise, like gears grinding. I took it to the dealership to get it fixed under warranty, and they replaced the clutch. For about a week, it was fine. Then it started to do the same thing again. It will jerk back and forth when I accelerate from a complete stop (at a stoplight for example). Recently, I have been losing gas very quickly because it will go all the way past 4rpms just to get from 0-20mph. I'm not sure if the warranty is still on it, but it only has 12,000 miles on it. I have only made one very big trip with it, to Kansas and back to Virginia. It does this off and on every single time I drive it. I have to drive anywhere from 25 minutes to an hour for work, so this is really not convenient to have. Multiple times I was worried it would break down as I struggled to keep it from overdoing itself while accelerating. A few times, I could smell something like exhaust in the vents. This has been happening over the course of 6 months and has only gotten worse, even after taking it to the dealership, and having them tell me it was "fixed."

Our car was looked at July 2019 and the recall was not fixed but they knew about it from your records. And we have been having trouble on accelerating spitting and sputtering and today me and my family were out shopping and we were driving out of the parking lot and the car just would not go the gas was not working we couldnt move and we turned it off and starting driving again and the same thing happened and the check engine light was on and it wasnt on before this. I am very mad that this recall was over looked because my familys life couldnt had been taken if this happened on a freeway or interstate. So we had to pay for a tow to the dealership johnson city Ford, tn 37602 and they were closed today but tomorrow I am going to confront them about this and im reaching out to U guys to insure this will get fixed of no charge and fixed right! thank U.

Car almost stalls from stop to go in first gear. And the engine rattles when coming to a stop.

There was a recall 18S32 campaign fuel tank deformation issued late 2018. The PCM system was not adequately detecting a stuck open canister purge value. On August 24th, 2019 I took my vehicle to get the recall repair due to stalling without notice and dangerous in drivability concerns. On August 25th, the following day, I had the very same exact symptoms. I took it to pepboys to diagnose, and the same codes were populating for the recall. Pepboys advised to take it back to a dealer. I then took it to another Ford dealership on October 22nd for a second opinion, and they stated that the canister purge valve was sticking. On October 24th, the vehicle was returned back to me and within a couple of hours same symptoms. On Nov 5th, 2019, I was advised the canister purge valve was replaced after the parts were on bo for 2-3 weeks. However, car started driving the very exact way followed by service engine light and transmission overheating warning. Additionally, the car did not accelerate when attempting to make a left turn and a diesel had to swiftly hit on their breaks to prevent crashing into me. The vehicle was returned back on the 8th of November, however, dealership stated they were unable to duplicate concern. On November 13, the vehicle was picked up and on November 14th I had to take it back due to the same issues. On November 30, I was advised that they notice a clutch slipping, vehicle rev high when trying to reverse or accelerate. However, vehicle operating as design. This is not the case. After 6 attempts in trying to rectify this issue, it is not. My safety is a concern here as the vehicle is not operating as design and currently remains as is.

Shortly after I bought this car. I noticed originally last of power during acceleration and later it would do a combination of last of power at times and lunging when the automatic transmission would shift gears(automatically). Eventually, frontier Ford(dealership) replaced the clutch N a few other minor items related to the clutch. The problems the same issues continue to occur. I finally filed a complain with the BBB, it appears the dealership simply never returned their calls or emails and that case was closed. Next I contacted the sj bureau of automotive repair. Their determination was that Ford fiestas and Focus models were notorious for serious trasmition problems. It implied that it was a feature not a bug because eventhough the sj bar knew of these serious issues they took no action. I started not driving the car as much looking into how I could get the manufacturer to buy back this unreliable dangerous car. I am en experienced driver so I avoided accidents when the car would malfunction, however the nigh of 11/06/19 at about midnight my daughter took the car without permition and when the car lunged foward (as it would do while shifting gears automatically) during a street turn, she lost control of the car and crashed into 2 parked cars. The airbags didnt deploy and the seatbealt didnt lock resulting in her getting a concusion and a pretty bloody mouth as her head hit the steering wheel(these 2 defects were unknown to me previously). Having to do monthly payments on this unsafe, unreliable car had lots of negative ripple effects in my family's life culminating in my daughter being injured by well known defects by Ford. It is my understanding that there is even class action lawsuits for fiesta and Focus cars but I truely dont know how any of that works. My hope here is that at a minimum these complains can help get these dangerous cars off the road.

- Albuquerque, NM, USA

When I'm driving my car it doesn't matter the speed I used to think it only happened if I was driving on the highway but it happened on my way home a day and I was going 35-40 mph. Basically while driving my car starts to slow down and no matter how much I press the gas it doesn't change gears/ speed up. When this tends to happen the engine fault light will come on. By the time I get to the dealership and turn the car off and turn it back on they say nothing reads on the diagnostic so basically whatever reason the light comes on for doesn't stay in the system so that they can see the issue. This has happened five times within the past two months.

I bought my car brand new. The transmission has been shuddering at an increasing rate. The car is slow to pick up speed and often jerks as it tries to increase speed by small increments, such as 5mph. When I do try to accelerate the car expends a ton of effort, the RPM shoots up, the car shudders and shakes. As the problem seems to be increasing, my concern for my safety is also increasing. It is difficult to merge into heavy traffic as my cars ability to accelerate is always difficult to estimate. This is becoming more and more of a safety risk. I am deeply concerned that these transmission problems create a safety risk for when I am driving on highways. However, the problems are still present on city roads because my car is unable to keep up with the everchanging speed limits in my town. This problem has been ongoing since I bought my Ford, but has definitely increased in its severity.

2017 Ford Focus titanium. Dallas, tx. Engine misses when accelerating. While driving down a 2 lane farm to market road which I drive twice a day at the least- the car started slowing down and it was as if the gas pedal wasn't working. And of course the engine light came on. Took it to get electronically diagnosed and it is a valve for the gas. I haven't received any recall notices via mail. I need this taken care of before time for the inspection in a month. How do I go about seeing if this is in fact a recall and get it fixed asap??

- Bloomington, IL, USA

My vehicle engine completely stopped on its own and the vehicle indicators showed that the engine overheated. This was after less than 10 minutes on the freeway going 55 mph. This vehicle has a software related recall for it as well currently. I towed the vehicle to autonation Ford of miami to be serviced for the recall and for the engine trouble(it only has 26,000 miles) and they informed me that they were not willing to look at the vehicle to even offer a diagnosis for at least 2-3 days. They did not offer a loaner vehicle or any mode of transportation in the interim. This is unacceptable behavior, especially for a vehicle under recall. This issue has occurred twice at this dealership with my two Ford vehicles.

While driving the car, 4 days after having the 2nd clutch replacement at 30,000 miles, it was on a street not highway, the cars electronic dash displayed "transmission fault fix now". the car then slowed down a bit losing power, then several other signals appeared on screen, brakes and a few others, then the engine shut down and power went out. The car would not restart after a few minutes, so aaa called to tow it back to dealership. This happened Sunday July 28, 2019. Monday afternoon, after they had time to look at vehicle, I received a call telling me that the "alternator " was faulty and they would get back to me when they had the replacement which turned out to be the next day. The issue with this is my wife had been 110 miles away and had drove home Saturday July 27. If that had let go while she was traveling the 70 mph speed limit there could have been a fatal accident. This vehicle has been in and out of Ford dealership 5-6 times for safety related issues
