To whom this may concern The system that has failed is the power train, more specific the transmission/ clutches inside of transmission. This has put my safety at risk because the car will not want to pull out sometimes its very jumpy and hesitant. It loses its power and the transmission just slips in gear like it's in neutral but you van feel it slipping trying to go. I think it is ridiculous that this has been an ongoing issue with ford cars since 2012 and it seems they won't do anything to fix the problem besides slap another clutch in for the same thing to happen down the road this is a scam it costs around 4500 to have tranny and clutches replaced by a dealership and the car doesn't even have 80000 miles on it. There is no reason an AUTOMATIC car should be chewing itself apart every 80k for it to be taken and have a new transmission installed thats a big ask for someone who bought their car and relies solely on that vehicle for daily travel. And then add the stress now trying to figure out and wonder when and where this vehicle will leave you stranded or sitting next which is also a safety issue because the car will actually not even start at times because the "clutch" in an automatic car is stuck engaged. The codes were read multiple times all finding the same issue for clutch B stuck engaged/ clutch b friction element stuck on. The problem doesn't need reproduced it never left . The car is being taken to place of purchase feb 5, no other issues or warnings have been visible prior to 2 days ago when it started the issue. It now will not go in reverse at all, just acts like it's in neutral . The warning lamp illuminated right after putting into reverse and it just reved and wouldn't move. My fiance has a 2012 focus and has had all the same exact problems but his is the slap shift. Could someone please look into this because it seems like ford is just throwing ideas at it hoping one works and I think that is crazy ford NEEDS to solve this the right way

I bought this car a few months ago with no problems from a used car dealership in Kentucky. A few days later the check engine light came on and the turbo was not working. Turbo was replaced and the vacuum lines were found to be full of oil and rubber causing the waste gate actuator to not release vacuum which in turn burnt up the turbo. It's been about 1,000 miles and now I getting an underboost code while driving of P0299. The turbo appears to be failing again. I have found more rubber and oil in the vacuum lines along with buildup inside the vacuum pump. This appears to be coming from the wet rubber belt inside the engine. I have stopped driving it while waiting on the oil pump wet belt recall. The turbo failure is related directly to this problem with the oil pump belt due to clogging up the vacuum pump and vacuum lines.

Good Morning, I hope you are having an amazing day , I first financed this car in 2018 but the car was made in 2017. I searched my vin number to see if my car was a part of the recall list and was not. I have been getting a code P1450 since about 40,000 miles, my car has been stalling upon acceleration since I got it. and I had the part replaced, a year and a half later the code popped up again and I got the part repaired and still the same issues, after the part has been repaired as well as a PCM issue is now happening. My car shudders between the 1 and 2 on the acceleration , this has been happening since I got the car but the salesman told me that this was not an issue and it was normal for the fords to do this. I have been having issues with my car starting up in the mornings mainly a lag in the ignition. I believe my car should have been a part of that list but was not. Please investigate

I acquired the Ford Focus 2017 from Envision Toyota in Milpitas, California, in November 2022. In August 2023, the vehicle experienced an engine failure at 53,000 miles. Subsequently, the car was at the Ford dealership for an extended period until the engine replacement was completed by the end of October 2023. Upon retrieving the car on [XXX], 2023, I encountered various issues, including coolant leakage, problems with coolant pressure, braking issues (resulting in extensive vibrations), and the engine stalling in traffic. While the coolant problem was eventually resolved after four additional visits to the dealership, involving adjustments to pressure, replacement of thermostats, sensors, and the cooling reservoir, the persistent issues with the engine stalling and braking were not addressed, even after multiple extended visits to the dealership. Despite having the car for several weeks during each visit, the problems persisted. We retrieved the car before Christmas and reported the ongoing issues to the dealership, but due to international travel plans, I was unable to return the car for further inspection. We have returned from our travels on [XXX] 2024. On [XXX], 2024, my son was driving to the gym with friends when, while in a central left turn lane to enter the gym, the engine failed again. Unfortunately, another vehicle approaching from the right side collided with him, while he was stationary, resulting in the total loss of the car. In November 2023, I initiated a case with Ford, requesting them to repurchase the vehicle due to numerous safety concerns, and the case number is [XXX]. Despite reporting issues to both Ford and the dealership (which was able to reproduce them), resolution has been delayed, and Ford seems to be procrastinating in addressing the situation. It is crucial to note that the Ford Focus SE 2017 model appears to have inherent issues with gaskets, and it appears that Ford may be concealing these concerns.

I have a recall on my 2017 ford focus that is for the gas tank deformation , this happens because the Canister Purge Valve (CPV) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system. It jerks , excels and dies when low on or getting gas mostly . Recently it wouldn’t reverse or go over 15 miles and would limp only , not drivable . Codes say it’s clutch b stuck engaged . I took it to the ford dealership and they gave me a 8000 repair bill when I told them I mainly wanted the recall fixed on it and I’d figure out the rest later . They said the recall is not a safety issue and doesn’t have anything to do with the car having issues or driving at all and they are charging me half of the bill for things related to the recall , claiming it isn’t part of the recall (canister purge valve , canister vent , fuel injection cleaning , check engine light being on) . They said they had to redo my appointment for me over the phone because I didn’t put it under the recall appointments and they didn’t include anything about the recall in it . The other half of the bill is them claiming they need to replace the entire clutch .

My 2017 Ford focus oil light came on. I took the car to brad manning Dealership in Dekalb, Illinois. They charged me 160.00 to diagnose the problem. They said that there is an advance recall on my vehicle and Ford knows about the problem with the oil injectors. They reached out to Ford as I also did and was told that they would repair the issue in the second quarter which is from April 2024 to June 2024. The only recourse they offered was to pay the 8,000 plus to replace the engine and get reimbursed in the second quarter. I was told not to drive the car because the engine will lock up and stop wherever. I don't have 8,000 dollars and I can't drive a car that I purchased for Ford that they know is a problem and refuse to fix my car. So, I am without a car to get to work or anywhere else because of Fords manufacturing issues

Driving on Interstate-95, when Oil Pressure light illuminated, at first very dim, and then within an 1/8 of a mile, lost all power and the engine began to sound like a tank. Pulled over to shoulder and tried to re-start the vehicle with no luck. Brought vehicle to Ford Dealership and was advised of a Service Bulletin of a timing belt failure and I was to replace the engine long block and turbo. Seems ridiculous that I had to spend out of pocket money to replace a known failure at 67,000 miles when according to Service Manual, INSPECT TIMING BELT AT 150,000 Miles. I want justice and a FULL refund for this issue. This issue has also caused a streamline of failures within the vehicle due to disruption of seals amongst most of my rubber lines.

Yes it is available for inspection if you choose to do so. Roughly a month ago my transmission shifted into neutral while trying to merge onto the interstate. It bucked around and eventually caught the right gear, and the problem persisted the next 15 miles to my destination, as well as the 15 miles home. I couldn't afford to take it to the shop, so I didn't drive it for a couple weeks. I then had some responsibilities to take care of, and the car was so much worse this time. Trying to accelerate from 0mph was hit or miss, and any time I went over 10 mph it would shift back and forth from neutral to a lower gear than it should have for the speed I was going, then back to neutral. It loses power or shifts into neutral driving down the interstate sometimes, or going up hills. I almost slid down a hill backwards the other day because I was in neutral (even tho my gear shift was in Drive). Sometimes when trying to stop, the car lunges forward while my foot is on the brake. It felt like I was driving a standard again - not safe at all. My check engine light has been on for a month or two due to an O2 sensor issue, but otherwise I had no warning lights displayed. I had a mechanic hook up a code reader a few days ago and the code that popped up is P07A3. I have yet to take it in for repairs, as I cannot afford to pay thousands of dollars for Ford's intentional manufacture of faulty machinery. I still owe $11,000 on this car, there is no way I can afford to buy another one, or to fix this piece of junk. Happy 2024.
