Steering, Other or unspecified, Nov 25, 2017
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTY ROAD, TRAVELING ABOUT 25 MPH AS I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A TURN, WHEN MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILS. I NEARLY DROVE STRAIGHT THROUGH A METAL FENCE TRYING TO MAKE THE TURN TO GET OFF THE ROAD. NOW WHEN I TURN MY KEY FORWARD MY CARS COMPUTER SENDS A MESSAGE SAYING "STEERING LOSS, SAFELY PARK VEHICLE" THE ISSUE I AM REFERRING TO BY CHECKING "UNKNOWN/OTHER" IS A SHUDDERING TRANSMISSION. EVERYTIME MY CAR IS GOING THROUGH FIRST GEAR THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS. THIS GETS MUCH WORSE WHEN WHEN MY CAR IS CLOSE TO BEING DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. IVE SERVICED THE CAR REGULARLY AND SOME MONTHS HAD TO GET MULTIPLE OIL CHANGES TO TRY AND COMBAT THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING.

I AM AWARE THAT THE 2013 AND 2014 FORD FOCUS' HAVE A ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLABLE. MY 2015 FORD FOCUS HAS THE SAME ISSUE. DURING THE TRANSITION FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THE CAR SHUTTERS WHICH INDICATES A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. I AM WORRIED THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT OR CAUSE ME TO WRECK IN THE FUTURE. AGAIN, I DO KNOW THAT PREVIOUS YEAR CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE RECALLED.

I OWNED THE VEHICLE 2 YEARS AND THEN REPLACED THE WIPER BLADES AT NAPA. THEN THEY STARTED STOPPING MIDWAY ON THE GLASS OR SLOWING AND STOPPING. I REPLACED THE BLADES WITH GENUINE FORD BLADES AT THE DEALER'S QUICK LANE, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE SERVICE DEPT. COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM ON TWO VISITS, AND SAID IT HAS AN ADVANCED SENSOR SYSTEM AND "IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO THAT." I AM AFRAID THE WIPERS WILL GIVE OUT IN A STORM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SNAPPED AT ME "IF YOU KEEP COMING BACK, WE MAY HAVE TO CHARGE YOU," EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TIME LEFT ON THE FULL WARRANTY. THIS IS A HAZARD, AND THEY SHOULD WARN PEOPLE THAT THE SYSTEM USES SO-CALLED SMART TECHNOLOGY, AND TO BE CAREFUL WHEN CHANGING THE BLADES.

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2015 FORD FOCUS IT JERKS AND SLIPS WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK IT TO FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THE CLUTCHES ARE BAD INSIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION. NOT SURE IF IT'S THIS SPECIFIC PART, I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER FOCUS OW ERA ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE FORD DEALER IS SAYING THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE AND REFUSING TO REPAIR IT UNDER THE WARRANTY, I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE RESEARCHED ON LINE IN MULTIPLE FORD FORUMS, READ MANY ARTICLES AND SPOKE TO OTHER FOCUS OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. IF THIS CAN PLEASE BE REVIEWED FOR SAFETY REASONS AND CORRECTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

WHEN YOU STEP ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL, VEHICLE HESITATES, TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN. I BROUGHT THIS CONCERN UP WITH A FORD SERVICE MANAGER ON MY FIRST OIL CHANGE. THIS MANAGER ADVISED ME THEY WERE APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS BEHIND ON RECEIVING TRANSMISSION PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED THIS MANAGER A FEW MORE TIMES ON THIS MATTER. ON MY NEXT OIL CHANGE, THIS MANAGER ADVISED ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS DUE FOR ITS THIRD OIL CHANGE VERY SHORTLY. MY CONCERN ON THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THIS MAINLY OCCURS ON CITY STREETS, RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS, ETC. I TRADED IN MY 2013 FOCUS FOR THIS 2015 MODEL AND THE 2013 DID EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2015 FORD FOCUS BRAND NEW IN JULY 2015, I WAS STONEWALLED BY TWO DEALERSHIPS OVER THE CLUTCH SHUDDERING/JERKING/JUMPING ISSUE BEFORE A THIRD DEALERSHIP (IN ANOTHER STATE!) FINALLY REPLACED IT. SHORTLY AFTER I HAD A FRONT COVER OIL LEAK THAT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN, ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS ON THE VISOR AND RADIO CONTROLS STOPPED WORKING, THEY FIXED MOST OF IT BUT THE PASSENGER VISOR LIGHT STILL DOESN'T WORK. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND IN THE RADIO, THEN THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE TRANSMISSION BLEW WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE, THEN THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. A PUDDLE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS UNDER THE CAR AFTER IT WAS TOWED AWAY.

MY 2015 FOCUS SE HAD TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING FROM THE FIRST DAY I BOUGHT IT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER (PADUCAH FORD) THAT IT WAS NORMAL WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR. AFTER WRITING FORD ABOUT THE TREATMENT THAT I RECEIVED FROM THIS DEALER I GOT A CALL FROM THE DEALER THAT THEY WOULD NOT SERVICE MY NEW CAR SINCE I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE THEN TOLD ME TO START HAVING MY SERVICE DONE AT PENNYRILE FORD. RIGHT BEFORE 30,000 MILES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE SHUTTERING HAD GOTTEN WORSE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT AFTER WAITING A WEEK FOR PARTS. NOW AT 33,800 THE TRANSMISSION IS SHUTTERING AGAIN AND I WAS TOLD OVER THE PHONE TODAY THAT IT WILL PROBABILITY NEED TO BE REBUILT AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THESE CARS ARE UNSAFE AS I HAVE HAD MINE NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR AS IS WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATE.
