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.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, ON THE HIGHWAY, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY MADE 3 CLUNKS AND THEN THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED LOSING POWER, ALMOST DIED OUT.HE COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO ACCELERATE, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. HE ALMOST GOT HIT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THE CAR HAS DONE THIS. THE FIRST TIME, IT STALLED OUT COMPLETELY AND LEFT HIM STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY. FORD IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A STALL RISK, BUT THEY CAN NOT REPAIR THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD HEADQUARTERS REGARDING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THE 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STALL RISK. THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAS HAD MY 2015 FORD FOCUS WILL NOT TRY TO REPEAT THE BEHAVIOR THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO COMPLETELY LOSE ACCELERATION. THEY KEEP TRYING TO GIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME AND IT IS NOT FIXED!! FORD MOTORS NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR KNOWINGLY SELLING THE 2012-2016 FORD FOCUS WHEN THEY KNEW THAT ALL OF THESE CARS HAD BAD TRANSMISSIONS. WE DO NOT WANT THE CAR BACK. THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN BECAUSE OF THE STALL RISK.

THE CAR SHUDDERED AND JERKED WHEN STOPPED AND ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP. A METAL GRINDING CAN BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DURING THIS JERKING FROM ACCELERATION. THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. ONE TIME, THE CAR STALLED, RESULTING IN LOSE OF POWER, WHILE I WAS TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR MANY TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION OF THESE SYMPTOMS.

RECALL WITH THE PCM AND TCM ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A ISSUE CONSISTENTLY EVERY SEVERAL MONTHS IT IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING REPAIRED. THE RECALL ONLY COVERS THE VEHICLE TILL 80,000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY SINCE IT NEEDS WORK (UNDER RECALL ISSUE) EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING I AM AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN MY CAR HITS 80,000. THE CAR HAS A HARD SHIFT, SOMETIMES WILL NOT REVERSE, SOMETIMES WILL NOT START, SOMETIMES WILL NOT PASS 1ST GEAR.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. ALMOST EVERYDAY WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR, IT STALL, SLIPPED OR DOESN'T WANT TO GO AT TAKE OFF. THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIME WHERE I PRESS THE GAS TO GO WHILE IN DRIVE AND IT WON'T GO AND ACTS LIKE IT'S IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN IN CAR ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION IS HORRIBLE. IT'S THE DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE EVEN SENT OUT A LETTER STATING THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND IF YOU HAVE HAD IT SERVICES 3 OR MORE TIMES, YOU CAN GET CASH OR REPLACEMENT CAR. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GO GET IT CHECKED OUT 3 TIMES AND I ALSO DON'T REALLY NEED TO BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

HELLO, MY VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING TWICE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS (THIS TUESDAY 12/18/2018 AND THURSDAY 12/20/2018). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE SECOND TIME THE CARE WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED, THE OIL INDICATOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. OIL WAS PUT IN THE CAR AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM SINCE IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THURSDAY 12/20/2018. WHEN THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON 12/20/2018, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL AS THE BATTERY LIGH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP ON 12/20/2018 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I AM AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN.
