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.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK MY CAR TO TITUS WILL TO GET IT DIAGNOSED CAME BACK WITH CODE P0456 PART NUMBER BV67-9D289-B/BV6Z/9D289-R. AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATING TURNS OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ISSUE MY CAR WAS HAVING. MY CAR WAS IN SHOP IN MAY OF THIS YEAR FOR A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. AT THE TIME THE ADVISOR AT THE DEALERSHIP LET ME KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL AND SAID IT WAS COMPLETED WITH NO FINDINGS AT THE TIME. WELL HERE WE ARE IN NOVEMBER AND MY CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE RECALL PART. THE DEALERSHIP REACHED OUT TO FORD AND REQUESTED A REIMBURSEMENT AND THEY DECLINED STATING ONCE A RECALL IS CLOSED OUT THERE IS NO WAY TO REOPEN AND ISSUE A REFUND. MY CAR WAS STALLING AND HAVING A ROUGH IDLE AND NEEDED TO GET FIXED IMMEDIATELY SO I PAID FOR THE WORK TO GET DONE.

RECENTLY MY CAR RADIO HAS BEEN CRACKLING AND THEN COMPLETELY STOPPING ALL MUSIC. THE RADIO SYSTEM WILL BE COMPLETELY OFF AND MAKE AN EXTREMELY LOUD STATIC NOISE AND SCARE ME WHILE I AM DRIVING! THIS IS NOT SAFE AND COULD CAUSE A MASSIVE ACCIDENT OR AN OLDER PERSON TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK. I HAVE A PANIC DISORDER AND IT GAVE ME A PANIC ATTACK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND TAKE MY EMERGENCY PANIC MEDICATION. VOLUME IS COMPLETELY OFF WHEN IT IS HAPPENING AND THE RADIO IS COMPLETELY POWERED OFF. EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WE WALK AWAY FROM IT THE NOISE WILL CONTINUE AND WAKE THE NEIGHBORS UP. WE HAVE COMPLETELY PULLED THE FUSE FROM OUR CAR.

RADIO MALFUNCTION. AFTER SOME TIME OF DRIVING, THE RADIO WILL BEGIN TO CRACKLE WHICH LEADS ALMOST UNBEARABLE POPPING WITHIN THE SPEAKERS AND HAS ALSO CAUSED THE RADIO TO STOP WORKING ALTOGETHER BUT STILL MAKES THE POPPING NOISE. POPPING NOISE IS SO LOUD THAT IT HAS FRIGHTENED THE DRIVER SEVERAL TIMES. THE DRIVER HAS EVEN MADE THE DECISION TO JUST REMOVE THE RADIO FROM THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT BEING FRIGHTENED AND JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAPPENS NEARLY ALL OF THE TIME, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, WHETHER TURNED OFF OR RUNNING.

Other or unspecified, Aug 18, 2019
HORNS WERE REPLACED IN 2017 UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER'S SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HORNS. HORNS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY STARTING FIVE MONTHS AGO. HAD CAR IN FOR STATE INSPECTION TWO WEEKS AGO AND THAT DAY THEY WORKED SO CAR PASSED BUT SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THAT HORNS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THE PART IS MORE THAN ONE YEAR OLD WHICH IS THE LENGTH OF TIME FORD WARRANTIES THE PART. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE FORD FOCUS FORUM (FOCUS FANATICS.COM) AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. A HORN IS NOT A NORMAL "WEAR AND TEAR" PART AND SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER REFUSED TO EVEN CHECK WITH FORD TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PART EITHER AS A WARRANTY ITEM OR AS A "GOOD WILL" ITEM. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SUBSTANDARD PART AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.

AT A STOP LIGHT JUST BEFORE MY HOUSE MY CAR MADE A NOISE, LURCHED AND THEN DIDNT WANT TO ACCELERATE. IT WAS CLOSE TO HOME SO WE CRAWLED IT HOME THANKFULLY THEN IT REFUSED TO GO IN REVERSE. PREVIOUSLY IT HAD A STUTTER PROBLEM BROUGHT IT TO FORD AND OTHER MECHANICS AND GOT NO ANSWER AS TO WHAT CAUSED IT. CURRENTLY BEING IN MY 9TH MONTH OF PREGNANCY AND HAVING AN 11 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE CAR THESE ISSUES COULDVE CAUSED A CRASH AND PUT THE LIFE OF MY UNBORN CHILD AND MY BABY IN THE BACK IN DANGER. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BEING THAT IT IS THE TCM WHICH IS FAULTY HOWEVER THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE WHOLE PROBLEM. THE TCM CAUSES THE CLUTCH AND CLUTCH FORKS TO GO BAD LEADING TO THESE PROBLEMS AND FORD WANTS OVER $2000 TO FIX IT WHILE THEY ONLY REPLACE THE TCM. FORD PUT OUT THIS CAR KNOWING IT HAD THESE PROBLEMS ON THE PRODUCTION LINE AND DOES NOT PROPERLY INFORM OWNERS THEREFORE CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION, I RAMDONLY GET AN ALERT THAT THERE IS AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION, WHICH THEN CAUSES MY CAR TO HAVE VERY LITTLE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. IF I COME TO A STOP, THEN GIVE IT GAS, IT GOES EXTREMELY SLOW, CAUSING MY RPM'S TO SHOOT UP. MY TRANSMISSION IS HORRIBLE WHILE SHIFTING. ITS SPUTTERS, HESITATES, JUMPS, AND FEELS LIKE IT CANT MAKE UP ITS MIND ON WHAT GEAR TO GO IN. AND ITS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. THRE HAS BEEN 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE AFTER STOPPING FOR GAS, OR BEING AT WORK THAT I HAVE SHUT MY CAR OFF, AND WHEN I WENT TO START IT UP AGAIN, IT WOULDNT. IT WOULNDT EVEN TURN OVER. AFTER TRYING SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD FINALLY START. WHATEVER IS CAUSING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, IS ALSO DRAINING MY BATTERY AS I HAD TO GET A NEW ONE AFTER JUST OVER 2 YEARS. A BATTERY IS SUPPOSED TO LAST 5 YEARS. FORD SAID ONLY 3-5 AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT COVER IT SINCE I WAS SUPPOSEDLY COMING UP ON THE 3RD YEAR. WHICH I WAS NOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. AND I NOW HAVE A NEWLY TURNED 16 Y/O DAUGHTER WHOS JUST IS ABOUT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. AND I SHOULD NOT FEEL ITS UNSAFE FOR HER TO HAVE TO LEARN IN THIS VEHICLE I HAVE A FEW MORE YEARS TO PAY ON IT AND IT WOULDNT BENEFIT ME TO SELL OR TRADE IN AT THIS POINT. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE SECOND TIME I GOT THIS ENGINE ALERT. I CAN'T EXACTLY TAKE A PICTURE OF HOW MY CAR DRIVES OR HOW THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS.

NOW THAT I'M READING ALL OF THESE REVIEWS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO MINE I NEED ANSWERS. MY CAR WAS SHUDDERING WHEN I FIRST MADE THE PURCHASE, BUT I WAS TOLD THOSE TYPES OF CARS JUST DRIVE LIKE THAT. FORD SAID THAT MY CLUTCH WAS NOT COVERED AND I HAVE TO PAY $2500 TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN IT'S CLEAR THAT FORD WAS ALREADY HAVING ISSUES WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS.

I PURCHASED THIS FORD W 15000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 37000 MILES. I FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS A LEMON. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES REQUIRING ME TO GO FORD DEALERSHIP. FIRST THE GAS INFORMATION WAS INCORRECT. IT SAID I HAD 26 MILES TO DRIVE BUT RAN OUT OF GAS. THEN WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR GOT STUCK IN BETWEEN GEARS. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE. THEN THE I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THE I COULD NOT PUT CAR INTO REVERSE. AS A RESULT CAR WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AND RECALL. THE ITEMS FIXED WERE GAS TANK RECALL, ENGINE MOUNT, CLUTCH, TRANSMISSION, AND (RESERVOIR TANK THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY). I PICKED UP CAR AND NEXT DAY I DROVE TO WORK WITH THE SAME ISSUES. GEARS ARE NOT SHIFTING. TAKE BAKE TO DEALER AND FIXED TRANSMISSION MODULE. NOW THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND THEY CHARGED ME 160$ TO LOOK AT IT. IT WILL COST 1800$ TO FIX STEERING. THIS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE SUSPENSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SOON. HE STATED THAT SUSPENSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT 50000 MILES MY CAR ONLY HAS 37000 MILES. I HAVE NEVER REPLACED SUSPENSION IN ANY OTHER CAR. IT MAKES NO'S SENSE WHY THIS CAR IS FALLING APART WITH 37000 MILES ON IT. IT'S A LEMON AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!

THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 100000 MILES BUT EACH TIME YOU RETURN FOR SERVICE THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. FORD SUPPOSEDLY PUT OUT A NOTICE TO REPAIR THESE CARS WHEN THEY CAME IN ON 7-12-2019 TO 7-19-2019 BUT WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND COULD ONLY DO ANYTHING IF TOLD BY FORD.
