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.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE ISSUE REGARING THE RECALL FOR "THE ENGINE MAY STALL DUE TO A STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) WITHIN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM" AND MY SECOND TRANSMISSION FIX WITHIN 10,000 MILES OF THE LAST TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION MODULE FIX, MY CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 19 DAYS. WHEN I RECIEVED MY CAR BACK, MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHUTTERING SO BAD AND WOULDNT ACCELERATE AND WAS STUCK IN A GEAR AND WOULD NOT BREAK OR SPEED UP FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE THE CAR BACK IN, THEY TOLD ME THAT "THEY FIXED THE RECALLED ISSUE SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC." IN NOVEMBER, I FOUND OUT THAT FROM MAY TO NOV. I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A BROKEN TRANSMISSION CLUTCH. IN NOVEMBER, THEY FINALLY PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION CLUTCH, HOWEVER DONT HAVE RECORD OF THEM CHECKING FOR THE RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR WORK, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A COUPLE OF HOURS, THEN IT TURNED INTO ONE TO TWO DAYS AND PUT ME IN A RENTAL, HOWEVER DIDNT COMMUNICATE WITH ME ABOUT THE STATUS OF MY CAR. I CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, HOWEVER DIDNT RECIEVE ANY DETAILS FROM MY MECHANIC. ON SATURDAY, I CALLED AGAIN AND TALKED TO THE FRONT DESK AGENT. I TOLD HIM THAT MY CAR WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE THE DAY PRIOR AND I HADNT RECIEVED ANY UPDATE ON MY CAR. LATER THAT DAY, I FINALLY RECIEVED A VOICEMAIL STATING THAT THEY HAD FINISHED THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH, HOWEVER FOUND A OIL LEAK AND THEY "HAD BEEN DOING WHAT BEST FOR ME" AND HAD BEEN FIXING IT WITHOUT COMMUNICATING TO ME ABOUT IT. MY CAR STAYED IN THE SHOP FOR AN ADDITONAL 4 DAYS TO FIX THE OIL LEAK. I ENDED UP BEING CHARGED FOR THE RENTAL CAR AFTER I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS UNDER WARRENTY AND RECALL SO I DIDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT THEY WERE DOING THIS WORK ON MY CAR UNTIL DAYS PRIOR. AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH, I AM STILL DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE 2014 FORD FOCUS SE BEGAN TO SPUTTER. CONTINUES TO DO SO UNTIL I GOT IN THE STREET ON MY HOME AND BEGAN GOING UNDER 10 MPH. ONCE I ENTERED MY HOME TO PUT SOME ITEMS DOWN BEFORE RETURNING BACK OUT, I ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR. I NOTICED UPON ENTRY OF MY VEHICLE THAT MY RADIO WAS ON WITHOUT MY KEYS BEING IN THE IGNITION, ALSO MY DRIVER DOOR WAS STILL OPEN. I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED, IT DIDN'T TICK NOR TURN. WHAT DID HAPPEN THOUGH WAS MY ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM BEGAN TO CUT ON AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD STARTED AND TURNED. RADIO ON, DASHBOARD LIGHTS PRESENT AND THEN CUT OFF, ALERT FOR MY LOW TIRE, TRIP TIMER BEGAN RUNNING. THEN AN ERROR CODE REGARDING SOMETHING IN THE LINES OF FUEL. WASN'T QUICK ENOUGH TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE ERROR MESSAGE. WHEN I REMOVED MY KEY AND CALLED MY SISTER TO INFORM HER THAT I MAY NEED A RIDE FOR MYSELF AND MY 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, THE DASHBOARD NEEDLES JUMPED VIGOROUSLY. WHILE SITTING.

THE ENTIRE NIGHT WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PERIODICALLY MY CAR WOULD CUT IN AND OFF, AND ENGAGE WITHOUT THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION NOR PRESENT NEAR HE CAR. CONSEQUENTLY, THE CONSTANT RUNNING OF THE VEHICLE BY IT SELF RAN THE BATTERY DEAD AS WELL. ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND CHECK SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS VERY RUDE AND CONTINUOUSLY INTERRUPTED ME.

THEN WHEN TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS WE WERE DRIVING ON CRUSE CONTROL WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE RMP'S JUMPED UP TO 5000+ I HAD TO GET THE CAR OFF OF CRUSE CONTROL AND TRY AND HELP IT TO STICK BACK INTO GEAR. I NOW HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE PENSKE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION, BUT WHEN DOING THE DIAGNOSTIC ON IN THEY FOUND THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODUAL WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRENTY BUT THE CLUTCH ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT WASNT UNDER THE WARRENTY. BUT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY TRANSMISSION! AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY 2K+ TO GET MY CLUTCH FIXED, WHEN MY CLUTCH IS A PART OF MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE IS MANY LAWSUITS ABOUT THIS, AND I HOPE I DONT HAVE TO DO THAT.
