Latches/locks/linkages, doors, latchJun 8, 2020
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2011-2014 Fiesta, 2013-2014 Fusion, 2015 Mustang, 2013-2015 Escape and C-Max, 2012-2015 Focus, 2014-2016 Transit Connect, 2013-2014 Lincoln MKZ, and 2015 MKC vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under recalls 15V-246, 16V-643 or 17V-210, however the repair may not have been completed properly. A component within the door latches may break making the doors difficult to latch and/or leading the driver or a passenger to believe a door is securely closed when, in fact, it is not.
A door that is not securely latched could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the latch date codes to confirm if the repair was done correctly, and replace the side door latches if necessary, free of charge. Owners will also have the option to inspect their own vehicle's door latches and enter the date codes into a website to determine if the latches are correct. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 27, 2020. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 20S30.

Fuel system, gasoline, storageJul 5, 2019
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2012 and 2017 Focus vehicles equipped with 2.0L GDI gasoline engines and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles equipped with 2.0L GTDI engines, previously recalled under 18V-735. The affected vehicles did not have the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) updated as intended. Therefore, the Canister Purge Valve (CPV) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in the 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.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Powertrain Control Module. Dealers will also check for fault codes and replace the CPV as needed. If the CPV is replaced, dealers will inspect and replace the carbon canister, fuel tank and fuel delivery module as necessary. The recall began July 29, 2019. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 19S22.

EquipmentOct 2, 2012
This recall involves aftermarket parts sold by Yakima Products, Inc. for use on model year 2012 and 2013 Ford Focus vehicles. This recall is being conducted by Yakima, not by Ford. Certain combined Q-Tower and Q128 Clip rooftop rack systems, part numbers 8000124 and 8000728, do not fully contact the door frame.
Without proper contact of the rooftop rack clip to the door frame, there is insufficient clamping pressure and friction. The system may slide off the vehicle when loaded with accessories, possibly becoming a road hazard to other vehicles or causing injury to pedestrians.
Yakima will notify owners, and Yakima or a Yakima dealer will refund the purchase of the Q-Tower and Q-128 Clip system. There is no replacement system available for the 2012-2013 model year Ford Focus. The safety recall began on October 15, 2012. Only vehicles equipped with the vehicle rack system are affected. This recall is being conducted by Yakima, not Ford. Owners may contact Yakima at 1-888-925-4621.

MY CAR HORN WOULD PERIODICALLY GO OUT THEN ONE DAY IT COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING, I DISCOVERED THIS WHEN I TRIED TO WARN A TRUCK THAT I WAS IN A LANE THE TRUCK DECIDED TO MERGE INTO. I FIRST TOOK IT TO FORD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED HOWEVER THEY NEVER COMPLETED THIS REPAIR FOR ME. I THEN GOT MY HORN REPLACED AT A FIRESTONE WHERE MY SERVICE ADVISER INFORMED ME THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND THEY REALLY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG BESIDES THE HORN SYSTEM. THEY STATED "HAVE POWER ALL THE WAY TO THE HORN WHEN PUSHING BUTTON ON WHEEL." SO THEY HAD TO REMOVE AND REPLACE HORN ASSEMBLY. I MENTIONED THIS TO A FORD SERVICE ADVISER, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS "OH YEAH SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS WITH THE FORD HORNS A SPRING BREAKS." LIKE IT WAS COMMON AND COMMON KNOWLEDGE. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IN NY YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A WORKING HORN FOR ANY INSPECTION DUE TO SAFETY. HORNS ARE ESSENTIAL TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND PREVENT PEOPLE FROM MERGING, BACKING INTO YOUR VEHICLE ETC. THE FACT THAT FORD SERVICE KNOWS THE PROBLEM AS COMMON KNOWLEDGE SCARES AND INFURIATES ME. I WAS LUCKY AND DID NOT GET IN AN ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH I HAD A CLOSE CALL WHERE IF THEIR WASN'T A SHOULDER TO RIDE ON A TRUCK WOULD OF MERGED INTO MY VEHICLE SINCE MY HORN HAD SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING.

Other or unspecified, May 27, 2019
UNSURE WHAT IS WRONG. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN 2 TWICE FOR A SHUDDER, JERKING, AND HARD SHIFTING. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE HARD SHIFTING FOR A COST, BUT THE SHUDDERING WITH NEVER GOT FIXED HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVEN BEFORE THEY RESET OR REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. IT SHUDDERS GOING UP STEP HILLS, AND AT TIMES WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, AND WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND WE SHOULDN'T BE ALARMED. HOWEVER AFTER DRIVING EVERY DAY FOR A LIVING, THIS DOESN'T FEEL OR SOUND CORRECT, ITS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE.

CAR STUTTERS FROM STARTING OUT TAKES TOO LONG TO ACCELERATE AND FRIENDS HAVE SAID WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR .IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING
Other or unspecified, Apr 23, 2019
THE VEHICLE HAS HAD REPEATED ISSUES OVER THE PAST 7 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUDDERED UPON ACCELERATION FOR MANY YEARS. A TRANSMISSION RECALL SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAS CONTINUED TO SHUDDER AND ALSO STRUGGLED GOING UPHILL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS BECOMING DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SAFELY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GOING UP EVEN A MODERATE INCLINE AND WOULD BEGIN TO SHUDDER AND "REV UP". I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY UP AN INCLINE WHEN THE VEHICLE STRUGGLED TO ACCELERATE, BEGAN SHUDDERING, AND THE ENGINE BECAME LOUD. I HAD TO MOVE OVER INTO THE FAR RIGHT LANE AND SLOWLY MAKE MY WAY UP THE INCLINE TRAVELING WELL BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE CLUTCH THAT NEEDED REPLACED. WHEN I QUESTIONED IF THIS WAS RELATED TO ALL OF THE OTHER SHUDDERING PROBLEMS AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD OVER THE YEARS, I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AND TOLD THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE REPAIRS. A SECONDARY AUTO SHOP SUGGESTED THAT I REACH OUT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, AS THEY BELIEVED THAT THE NEED FOR THE CLUTCH REPLACEMENT AND PROBLEMS COULD EASILY BE RELATED TO PREVIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE FORD CORPORATION WAS CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION, OTHER THAN DOCUMENTING THE INCIDENT IN MY FILE.

THE TRANSMISSION IS UNDER CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. HAVING TROUBLE WITH SINCE BUYING IN 2012, STILL WAITING ON OUTCOME OF THAT. TODAY. MARCH 27, 2019, "STEERING WHEEL ASSIST- SERVICE NEEDED". STEERING OUT WHEEL WILL NOT TURN. I WORK I NEED A CAR. I WILL BE CALLING FORD TODAY. MY FORD FOCUS SE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, OVER 140,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LEAVE HOME FOR WORK TODAY. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF THE TIME CHANGES I THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES BACK TO THE CORRECT TIME. ALSO IN THE PAST SOMETIMES IN WOULD NOT START. I WOULD WAIT A WHILE AND THEN IT WOULD START. IT HAS NOT DONE THAT SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2012. THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS.

HAD JUST TURNED ONTO OUR RURAL STREET, DOING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP/EXPLOSION. THE LEFT FRONT TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. REMOVING THE TIRE, 1/3-1/2 OF THE SIDEWALL NEXT TO THE RIM HAD BLOWN OUT IN A LINE AROUND THE TIRE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE DEXTERO TIRES, ON JUST THIS TYPE OF BLOW OUT, BUT NOT ON THIS SPECIFIC SIZE, WHICH IS A 195-65R15. RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND OTHERS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THESE SHOULD BE ON A RECALL AS WELL. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE TURNOUT OF THIS HAD IT HAPPENED DRIVING 75 MPH, AS WE DO EVERYDAY ON THE HIGHWAY. THESE TIRES ARE ON A 2012 FORD FOCUS. BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEN SEEING THE RECALL WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE DEXTERO TIRES, I FEEL IT IS IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. THIS SHOULD BE AT THEIR EXPENSE! WE DO HAVE PICTURES, AND CAN SEND THEM TO YOU IF NEEDED.

AFTER I PUT FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK AND TRY TO START THE CAR HESITATES LIKE IT WANTS TO QUIT. I JUST GOT IT AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED FUEL PUMP, FUEL TANK, AND DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO THE PCM. AND ALSO REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE. AFTER FUELING THE CAR IS THE ONLY TIME THE HESITATION IS NOTICED AFTER THAT IT STARTS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FUEL IS PUT IN. THE 2ND THING THAT IS HAPPENING IS THERE IS WATER IN THE TRUNK UNDER THE SPARE TIRE. IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND THE WATER IS EVEN WITH THE SPARE. WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP WAS THAT FORD HAS BASICALLY WASHED THEIR HANDS OF ME AND MY CAR SINCE I SETTLED WITH THEM ABOUT THE CLASS ACTION. I AM HAVING AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP TO TRY AND FIND WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. BUT I DO THINK FORD SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SUCH A LEMON. I STILL OWE OVER $8,000 ON THIS VEHICLE NOW I AM HAVING TO DO REPAIRS ON IT ALSO.

I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT GARAGES TO BE CHECKED AND GOT BACK THAT MY BRAKES WAS FINE. ONE GARAGE SAID IT COULD BE THE ABS SYSTEM MAKING THE NOISE. NO POWER TO CLIMB A HILL OR IF YOU GET UP THE HILL THE ENGINE/MOTOR DOES NOT SHIFT LIKE IT SUPPOSE TO. THIS ALL TOOK PLACE IN AUGUST OF 2018.
