AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES OF USE, WILL GREATLY REDUCE FAN SPEED. DEALER SAYS CONDENSOR MAY BE FREEZING UP DUE TO A BAD SENSOR. THE CAR DOES NOT STORE A CODE FOR THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHICH SENSOR IS BAD SO THEY WON'T FIX IT. DEALER SAYS NEXT TIME IT IS IN FAILURE MODE, BRING IT IN TO TRY TO GET A CODE.

THE CAR SHAKES AND STUTTERS IN LOWER GEAR AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I GO FROM A STOP INTO FIRST GEAR THE CAR WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY START AND WHEN IT DOES, IT SHUTTERS. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES WHEN I AM DRIVING IN THE CITY BECAUSE OF THE START/STOP. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. OTHER FORD FOCUS CARS FROM 2015 ARE RECALLED, BUT MINE IS NOT FOR SOME REASON. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FAIL AND I ASKED FORD TO HELP RE-SET THE TRANSMISSION OR REPLACE IT, AND THEY WILL NOT. PLEASE HELP ME.

ON OR ABOUT 9/23/2018 AND WHILE DRIVING MY FORD FOCUS HB SE, I RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE ON MY DASH THAT READ "TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW". I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY AND LATER WAITED FOR A TOW TO MY HOME. ON 9/25/2018 I CONTACTED A FORD DEALERSHIP NEAR MY HOME (SUBURBAN FORD OF FERNDALE) IN MICHIGAN. THE CAR WAS TOWED ON 9/28/2018 TO SUBURBAN FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. INITIALLY, THE THINKING WAS THE TRANSMISSION MODULE (TCM) NEEDED SERVICING, HOWEVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMS ME THAT THE DUEL-CLUTCH COMPONENT IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS REPLACING. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THE CAR HAS 62,056 MILES ON THE ROAD AND HAS HAD TYPICAL MAINTENANCE (TIRES, OIL CHANGE, ETC.). WHILE FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERS TCM, CUSTOMERS, SUCH AS MYSELF, HAVING ISSUES WITH DEFECTIVE DUAL-CLUTCH ARE HAVING TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS. THIS VEHICLE HAS MERELY 62,056 ROAD MILES NOT 162,056 MILES.

MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAD A RECALL DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION IN 2017. THE CARS ENGINE WOULD SHUDDER WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEARS IN THE AUTOMATIC/MANUAL TRANSITION. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION UNDER THE RECALL WARRANTY. HOWEVER, ALMOST A YEAR LATER TO THIS DATE MY TRANSMISSION/ENGINE IS SHOWING THE SAME SIGNS.

AT JUST OVER 71,000 MILES OUR 2015 FORD FOCUS SE ELECTRICAL STEERING RACK FAILED AND NEEDED FULL REPLACEMENT AT AN OUT OF POCKET COST OF ALMOST $1800. DURING A TURN ON A CITY STREET, THE STEERING FAILED AND MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, MAKING THIS PART AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HAD IT GONE OUT AT THE WRONG TIME, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE. WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND VOICED OUR CONCERNS BUT THEY WOULD NOT AGREE TO COMPENSATION FOR AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE PART IN QUESTION WAS NOT YET RECALLED. WE HAVE SINCE PARTED WITH THE CAR AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED PART, FEARING THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. UPON RESEARCH THE PROBLEM, WE FOUND SIMILAR INSTANCES ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM INCLUDING THE WELL KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE A SIMILAR ISSUE OCCURRED IN FORD FOCUS MODELS BEFORE 2015 AND ALSO ON THEIR FUSION LINE OF CARS IN THE SAME RANGE OF YEARS OF AROUND 2013-2015 I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THE 2015 FORD FOCUS FOR A RECALL ON THE STEERING SYSTEM AND SUBMIT TO YOU THAT YOU WILL NOT BE SHORT IN FINDING 2015 FOCUS OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AFTER A QUICK SEARCH ON THE WEB.
