On 3-28-21 I got an oil change. Shortly after my engine light came on with error code p1450 which it didn't have beforehand. We first took the car to a mechanic and he said that the code is consistent with a known recall for that year and model for a problem with the fuel system. We took it to a Ford dealership to get an evaluation done and they confirmed that the problem was consistent with the recall the mechanic mentioned however there is no recall for my VIN number. When we put gas in the tank and turn it on again, the engine stalls. It runs rough when idle and sometimes has a problem getting up to speed from sitting at traffic lights.

When driving, the car will shutter when changing gears. Also in March 2021, radio, backup camera and usb ports stopped working. Dealership said that it wasn't covered under warranty and paid over $800 for a new radio to be installed.

The car's exterior design causes the rear window and entire hatchback to continually become covered in road dirt and obscure visibility out the rear window. The rest of the car is immaculately clean but the wind dynamics of the car design cause road debris to accumulate on the rear portion or the car. This happens when in motion in all types of driving.

My 2018 Ford Focus St (~8K miles) has been having issues with rpms suddenly increasing when shifting gears. For example, two weekends ago, I was shifting from second gear to third gear and my car went up by 3000 rpms after I let my foot off the throttle. On its own! this issue has been happening intermittently usually when the car is hot (about an hour or so ride) and exaggerated when the floor heating is on. I thought it might have been a valve issue but found multiple forum posts with this exact problem and how a lot of St owners went through multiple dealerships to get their throttle pedal assembly replaced to permanently fix the problems. Here are the links to the forum posts: Https://www.focusst.org/threads/rpms-actually-increase-on-clutch.128706/ and https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T75504_ds901319. also a video demonstrating the issue: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=eqo2ph9khlc (the video is regarding the 2018 Focus rs which has the same pedal parts as the 2018 Focus St). This has caused people accidents and I believe it should be looked into.

I bought my 2018 Ford Focus hatchback on 06/23/2018 and on 09/03/20 I had to have my front and rear rotors and brake pads replaced. The rotor was cracked and they were really rusted. Making my car undrivable. This makes me sick that Ford uses such cheap parts that I myself as a poor michigander had to replace rotors and brake pads within 2 years of buying a brand new car.

There are more than a few faulty purge valve and similar type valves on the Ford Focus possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system. The excessive vacuum may result in an engine stall while driving, . without warning and without the ability to restart the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. And yet my year model and motor size did not make that list. But yet I have this problem on my 2018 Ford Focus SE only @ 40,0000 miles. This could have been a huge safety issue w/ my young college student driving all hours of night on back roads due to her schedule. She had no warning no check engine light nothing. She was very lucky this did not stall on the highway. She could have been rear-end or who no what else. I believe this should me Ford manufacturing issue and that it should be added to safety recall list

I was on my way to work on 8/25/2020 about a mile away the engine light comes on so I turn around to leave it home then my vehicle stalled all of the sudden with no warning other than the engine and oil lights caming on, I towed it to the dealership for adiagnosis same day and this morning of 8/26/2020 I received a call from the dealers shop and they are stating that the oil pump went out and ruined the battery and now I have to replace the battery on the vehicle, now im concerned because I did not get any warning from the engine, no smoke, no rattling or shaking and the weird thing is that it cranks but wont start, it just stalled and it turns out to be a blown engine.

As I was driving on the interstate, I heard a loud pop. No other vehicles were around at the time. I opened the sunroof cover and noticed it was shattered. I pulled into the gas station to see that there was a large hole in my sunroof.

This is the 2nd time I am having the same issue. They replaced the clutches. I drove the car a couple of weeks and am having the same issues with surging/lugging. Now, it is happening in lower gears and when I accelerate to higher gears. It is now happening when I am in reverse, too.

- Benton City, WA, USA

When changing gears the clutch is shaking the car and making a grinding noise. It appears to creating problem on the lower gears such as gear 1 and 2

We bought the car on July 13 2019with only 7 mile on the odometer. Within 2 weeks of having the car it breaks down while driving it and had to get a Ford to tow it to the dealership they had it 2 days and replaced the something in the transmission at the time of it breaking car would only operate in reverse. Dealer ship fixes the car give it back less than two weeks later while driving to pick up my husbay from work was stopped for traffic and when I started to rolled ahead again the transmission light came on with transmisson failure and again car would only drive in reverse. Back to the dealership this tim they had it a week and replaced the transmission clutch motor and give it back. They said it should be fine now. While driving yesterday to pick up my husband from work, the car lunges forward at a high rate of speed for a few seconds and then the engine just revs when given car luckily no one was infront of me when it jerked forward and it was still moving enough to pull it off the road and out of traffic however the driver behind me cursed at me for driving that last part of the time only at 15 miles per hour. Now without a car all weekend cause the dealership service department is closed and they cant issue a loaner car until they reopen on Monday morning.

2018 Ford Focus SE sedan recalls. I recently got a 2018 Ford Focus SE sedan in November of 2018. It periodically hesitates when I accelerate and I was in the middle of driving the other day on my way home and not only did it hesitate when I began to accelerate on a 30 mph street but it also began to slip and did not want to move for about 5 seconda when I was pressing on the gas, it was beginning to slow down instead of maintaining the speed it should have been when I was pressing the gas pedal. I was on a city street when this happened.

The horn goes off after the car is locked with the key fob. No known way to stop it.

I was driving normally and the engine shut down with no warning (lights on the instrument panel went off) then came back up. Not long after this, I came across an article that suggested a current recall could be to blame for this but my VIN is not included in this recall. It should be. (date of occurrence is approximate.)
