18S32 MANUFACTURER RECALL & 18V735 NHTSA RECALL. THIS RECALL WAS FIRST POSTED APPROXIMATELY 8.5 MONTHS AGO AND I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT BRINGING IT IN FOR REPAIR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I HAVE A CHILD I TRANSPORT IN IT DAILY. I WANT AND NEED THIS RECALL RESOLVED ASAP AS I WILL SOON BE TRANSPORTING ANOTHER YOUNG CHILD. I CAN FEEL IT ACTING FUNNY AS IF SOMETHING ISN'T MOVING PROPERLY OR IT IS STALLING LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING FUEL WHEN I AM MOVING WHETHER IT'S SLOW FAST, SHORT DISTANCE OR LONG DISTANCE AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST MONTH OR TWO

TOOK MY CAR FOR TCM REPAIR - DEALERSHIP FOUND ANOTHER SENSOR ISSUE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED 4 DAYS LATER TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW AND HILLSIDE ASSIST UNAVAILABLE ERRORS CAME ON. WHEN ACCELORATING FROM A STOP THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING GEARS. CAR IS BACK AT DEALERSHIP BUT THE MECHANICS AND SERVICE DIRECTOR SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH ISSUES. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET(OVER 4971 COMPLAINTS) ABOUT FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION ISSUES
Power train, Jul 2, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE FINALLY ACCELERATED AFTER APPLYING STRONG PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BARTOW FORD (9090 E ADAMO DR, TAMPA, FL 33619 (813) 246-3673) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT ONLY PART OF THE VEHICLE WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,600.
Power train, Jul 1, 2019
THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION THAT FORD AS HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE WITH, HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE SHUDDER AS THEY SAY IT FALLS OUT OF THE BUILD DATES. THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY RECALLED OR PUT OUT A TSB FOR HE DPS6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, IT SHOULD BE FIXED. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS TRANSMISSION SHUDDER OCCASIONALLY. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME, BUT A LOT OF THE TIME. THIS IS THE SAME THING OTHER PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS PRIOR BUILD DATE. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE TAKING OFF, SOMETIMES WHEN IT SHIFTS TO 2ND GEAR. MOST EVERY TIME IT DOES IT YOU CAN BET YOU ARE PULLING INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ITS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS I HAD JUST DRIVEN ABOUT 400 MILES. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN NOTICED MORE.
Other or unspecified, Jun 28, 2019
THE PROBLEM IS THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY AND I DON'T KNOW WHY FORD HASN'T PLACED A RECALL ON THIS. MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS KNOWN ISSUE.
Other or unspecified, Jun 26, 2019
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.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 26, 2019
I HAVE PICK UP ISSUES DUE TO RECALLED FUEL CPV. I HAVE TO MAINTAIN ABOVE 1/2 TANK OF GAS OR ELSE THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECTLY CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS BEFORE THE GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS IN TRANSIT. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO,THE CAR WILL SPUTTER AND BACKFIRE DUE TO VAPORS GATHERING AT DANGEROUS LEVELS IN TANK.THE MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED ME OF THIS RECALL BACK IN JANUARY AND STILL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE TO DO RECALL REPAIR. I UTILIZE MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MY MOTHER WHO IS ON OXYGEN. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DOING SO BECAUSE OF BACKFIRING,STALLING,ETC ;SO I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO SPEND TONS OF EXTRA MONEY ARRANGING FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. OVER 6 MONTHS TO MANUFACTURE A REPLACEMENT PART? I WANT THIS PART REPLACED BEFORE A WORSE INCIDENT IS CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM.
Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 25, 2019
WE HAVE HAD A REPEATED CODE P090C THAT HAS ULTIMATELY LED US TO THE CLUTCH ACTUATORS WHICH ARE CONTROLLED BY THE TCM. THIS HAS CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO JUMP INTO OTHER GEARS WHILE DRIVING, PREVENTING THE MOVEMENT OF THE CAR ONCE PARKED/THEN ENGAGED INTO REVERSE STOPS WORKING. WITHIN THE 24 HOUR PERIOD, THE CODES DISAPPEAR THEN THE MECHANICS CANNOT DIAGNOSE OR CONFIRM THE ISSUE??? I PURCHASED MY OWN CODE TESTER AND FIGURED THIS OUT ON MY OWN. NOW, FORD STILL DOES NOT HAVE THIS AS A RECALL EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PART ITSELF FOR THOSE IN THE SAME SITUATION, HOWEVER, FINDING A DEALER THAT WILL MAKE THE REPAIRS WITHOUT THE CODES IN THE CAR, THAT IS THE REAL DIFFICULTY. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FLOATING AROUND FOR THIS ISSUE AS WELL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS IN DRIVE ON IH 35 IN AUSTIN TEXAS. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN PARKING THE VEHICLE ONCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,598. *TR CONSUMER STATED ON MY OWN ACCORD ,I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED. LESS THAN 60 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC PLACE THE CAR ON THE COMPUTER AND IT CAME BACK THE PURGE VALVE, FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL PUMP- THE RECALLED ITEM(S). I RETURNED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE INFORMATION AND THE RECALL LETTER AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, SAID THEY ALREADY FIXED IT, WHICH WAS NOT TRUE. THEY UPDATED THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE, NEVER REPLACED ANY PARTS. I RETURNED TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH I PAID FOR BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE FORD MECHANIC TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY FOR THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND IT WOULD COST $150 AND THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND THAT FORD WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND HAVE SPOKEN WITH A KAMISHA AND THE CASE NUMBER IS #21947630- 1888 631-3788 X77721 AND HAVE YET TO BE GIVEN ANY REASONABLE SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.*JB

ENGINE WAS STALLING WHEN I CAME TO STOPS, CHECK ENGLINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODE WAS FOR EVAP SYSTEM. IT WAS FOUND THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE WAS FAULTY, CAUSING THE ENGINE STALLING. KEEPING THE GAS TANK FILLED ABOVE HALF TANK ALLEVIATES THE PROBLEM. WE REPLACED THE PURGE VALVE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON AS WE CANNOT REPROGRAM THE PCM AND I CANT AFFORD TO LET MY CAR SIT AT FORD FOR THREE DAYS BEFORE THEY EVEN LOOK AT IT AND THEN THE EXORBITANT COST TO REPAIR.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE BACK IN DECEMBER 2018 ABOUT A RECALL ON A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH MY CAR'S CPV POSSIBLE STICKING AND STALLING CAR. I FEEL FORD HAS EXCEED A REASONABLE TIME FRAME IN COMING UP WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. MAKING SURE I HAVE A 1/2 TANK OF GAS IN MY CAR AT ALL TIMES IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION TO ME.

ON YOUR VEHICLE, THE ENGINE MAY STALL DUE TO A STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE (CPV) WITHIN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM. A STUCK CPV CAN LEAD TO EXCESSIVE VACUUM IN THE FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM, CAUSING THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK TO DEFORM, RESULTING IN AN INACCURATE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE INDICATION, INACCURATE DISTANCE TO EMPTY (DTE), AND/OR OTHER DRIVABILITY CONCERNS. THE VEHICLE MAY ALSO EXHIBIT AN ILLUMINATED MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL). SAFETY RISK: AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RESTART, CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTICE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.
