2013 focus hatch with manual transmission. bought the vehicle with 69k miles, currently has just over 100k. great vehicle, very happy with it for the most part. haven't had any issues since purchase. ford recall number 16c13 for the reprogramming of the body control module to require 2 presses of the trunk release to open the hatch on manual transmission vehicles has been reported as completed on my vehicle in january of 2017. however my vehicle still only requires one press of the button to open the hatch. something that i have done inadvertently several times while driving when attempting to turn on the fog lamps. i contacted the dealer that reportedly completed the recall (sioux falls ford lincoln, sioux falls, south dakota), and ford. both of whom told me the recall has been completed and there's nothing they can do about it without bringing the vehicle in and paying for a service. i replaced the battery in the vehicle shortly after buying it. not sure if the body control module lost the programming, or if the recall was never completed. at any rate it doesn't affect the overall performance ...

My 16 year old daughter was driving in her 2014 ford focus se on the interstate. i was a passenger as she only has her learners permit. all the sudden she complained the vehicle was hard to steer. i saw her having a physically hard time steering the vehicle. i looked at the dashboard and saw the power steering assist failure indicator icon (electronic power assist steering - epas)activated on the dashboard. my daughter continued to struggle to maintain the vehicle safely due to the power steering issue. she drove to the nearest exit which was even worse than the highway. she had trouble steering through the "s" turns on the exit ramp. she came to the intersection, luckily the light was green and she didn't have to stop to turn right, but it wasn't much help. while turning onto another two lane highway she almost hit the concrete medium due to the epas failure. watching her drive the vehicle reminded me when i drove my grandfathers old dodge dart; no power steering. i understand
