Power train, Electrical system, Engine, Aug 10, 2019
A BOUGHT A USED FORD CAR FROM TOYOTA, THE CAR UNKNOWINGLY HAD A RECALL ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SEEN 10 TIMES, UNDER WARRANTY, THE TRANSMISSION AND CLUTCH HAS GONE OUT, FORD AND TOYOTA HAVE REFUSED TO BY BACK THE CAR. CAR HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR 31 DAYS AS OF NOW. AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RENTAL, FORD WILL NOT OPEN THE RECALL BACK OPEN. HENDRICKS WON'T LOOK AT THE CAR THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO FORD. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE CAR WOULD NOT EXELORATE PASS 40-55 MILES PER HOUR. THE RADIO, BLUETOOTH PORTS STOPPED WORKING. THE AUTO START AND STOP STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD COMPANY MORE THAN 10 TIMES WITH 6 CASE NUMBERS. THE LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING THE CAR I WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I COULD SMELL A BURNING ODER, THEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT OUT (STUCK IN THE FAR BACK POSITION) THEN THE CAR WHEN INTO LIMP MODE AND WOULD NOT EXCEL PAS 50 MILES PER HOUR AFTER PRESSING THE GAS THE GAS PETAL GOES OUT. THE STICK TO CHANGE GEARS WHEN OUT AND THE CAR WAS SMOKING. I THEN ROLLED OFF THE NEAREST EXIT RAMP WHERE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 31, 2019
WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT, (AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR A SMALL DISTANCE) THE CAR JERKS AND JUMPS AND DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION OR NOT, BUT IT WORRIES ME BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD IT IN TO A REPAIR SHOP YET AND I AM WONDERING IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BAD TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE PUT INTO THE FORD FOCUSES. THIS HAPPENS WEATHER I AM DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING. I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM FORD BACK IN DECEMBER 2018 THAT STATED MY CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH CERTAIN THINGS AND THAT THEY WOULD BE SENDING OUT A RECALL IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2019, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM FORD AFTER THAT. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME.
Power train, Engine, Jul 24, 2019
WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT SHUTTERS, AND SLIPS GEARS. I EXPERIENCE POWER LOSS WHILE DRIVING, AND HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED TROUBLE TRYING TO GET IT TO SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY WHEN ACCELERATING. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE (FIRST TIME CAR BUYER) AND TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE, I WAS TOLD THESE ARE NORMAL, AND WOULD NOT BE CAUSE FOR CONCERN, BUT HAVE SINCE BECOME A HUGE CONCERN.
Engine, Jul 24, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE STALLING PERSISTED FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY AGAIN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE PLACE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,300.

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE FORD FOCUS/FIESTA DPS6 TRANSMISSION ISSUE. DUE TO THE DRY DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM ISSUE, THE VEHICLE ENGINE WOULD SHAKE AND RUMBLE VIOLENTLY WHILE MOVING. THIS MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN THE SUPPOSEDLY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE FIRST TIME I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH WHICH STOPPED THE RUMBLE ISSUE UNTIL FEW MONTHS LATER, THE RUMBLE RETURNED. AGAIN I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP HOWEVER THIS TIME THEY BLAMED IT ON THE PURGE VALVE IN THE GAS TANK WHICH THEY REPLACED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE RUMBLE ISSUE AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT TRY TO VERIFY THE RUMBLE. THEY SIMPLY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT BY STATING THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY, THE RUMBLE OCCURRED AGAIN BUT WORSE THAN BEFORE. IMMEDIATELY MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AS IF IT'S STUCK AT FIRST GEAR. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED DROPPED TREMENDOUSLY WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND EVERYONE WAS GOING 60+ MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY WITHOUT GETTING HIT. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT RAN CONTINUE TO RUMBLE BUT NOT AS VIOLENTLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I QUICKLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THE WARRANTY COMPANY REFUSE TO COVER THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR BECAUSE THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM IS TECHNICALLY A MANUAL CLUTCH. FOR THAT REASON THEY DO NOT COVER IT. AS A CONSUMER, WE HAVE NO IDEA EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF PARTS THE VEHICLE CONTAINS. THE VEHICLE WAS ADVERTISED AS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH IN COMMON SENSE, IT DOES NOT CONTAIN A MANUAL CLUTCH. THE DEALERSHIP WAS REQUESTING $2000+ FEE TO REPLACE THIS CLUTCH. AT THE SAME TIME OF THIS INSPECTION, THE PURGE VALVE IN THE GAS TANK WAS ALSO DEFECTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
