Problems with 2012 Ford Focus VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

When first accelerating from 0 mph, the car will struggle to shift out of first gear. it constantly jumps and jerks between 10-20 mph. it feels like someone who is newly learning how to drive a stick shift is shifting the car. as an automatic, it should not be having these problems. this is the second time this has occurred with the car. the first time the computer had to be completely replaced.

High rpms died in flight stalling jerking

After going to my ford dealer for the last 2 recalls that effect fuel system (last one was recall #19s22) my car was ok for a few months. now that temps have dropped below 50 the same thing is happening. when accelerating, the car shakes and sputters as it tries to go and i get about 18mpg instead of my usual 27mpg.

We purchased a 2012 focus for our 18 year old daughter as her first car. the check engine light is illuminated and the car shudders as you accelerate like its shifting gears but it's a very aggressive jerk. once it reaches certain speed it drives smoothly but if you stop at a red light or stop sign and accelerate again it does the same thing. the fault code for the check engine light states it's a catalytic converter problem. i did some online research and found a recall for what i thought was the cause of the issue (recall 18s32). took it into the dealership to have the recall repaired and they reset the pcm but tech told me the gas tank "passed inspection" so no further repairs were needed. however, the car still shudders at acceleration. i was told i'd have to pay $135 for them to diagnose the problem. i am so afraid for my daughter who is a fairly new driver to be driving this unsafe vehicle. i will be searching for a class action lawsuit as i've read several complaints of the same issue on this website. i don't feel comfortable selling this car to anyone ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford focus. the contact took her vehicle to an unknown dealer to be repaired per an unknown recall. the contact believed there was a manufacturer defect with the throttle body and stated that the vehicle would hesitate to accelerate when the brake pedal was released and would then violently accelerate suddenly. the failure caused the vehicle to crash into a ditch. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was not filed. there were no injures. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 119,000.

When i put my gear in reverse, sometimes my car jerks and reverse faster than it should or other times the car would idle, i would see the rpm going up and hear the rpm but the car doesnt move. i'd have to hit brake and try to reverse again. when i come to a stop and try to drive, the vehicle either jerks or just takes off. the problem almost happens every time. or when i am slowing down, the car would jerk or shudder. whenever i take the vehicle to the dealership, they just tell me the shudder/jerks are in their normal range reading and basically tells me that is normal for the vehicle to do. all the shuddering, jerking, and being hesitant happens mostly starting from a stationary position, like at a red light or a stop sign. this has been happening every since i bought the car in 2016 august, as a used car. i've had to get a new clutch, and replace the new one because it wasn't working properly.

The vehicle shudders from a compete stop or accelerating this has happened since purchase of the vehicle. most recently the car will accelerate when driving or in worst cases while braking. the vehicle has ramped up to 6000rpm while braking going down hill. upon contacting local ford dealership about the unintended acceleration, they stated they had not heard of this issue before. advised me to stop driving the vehicle and have it towed to their facility.

The car vibrated vigorously when accelerates from a complete stop, followed by sudden accelerations when switching gears. the car had only 28k miles on it when this happened.

I have a 2012 ford focus titanium hatchback. i took my car into bob tomes ford for a shuttering problem and was told to wait and see to continue to drive the car. months later i had the tcm replace and now my clutch is out. these were all issues at the time i originally brought my car into ford. after the tcm was replace i tried to pick up my car from bob tomes ford service center and the service team could not start my car or get it in gear( yet somehow they "test drove" it). my car has stalled in the middle of intersections, my check engine light has come, my transmission is overheating and asking me to pull over and wait 5 minuets. this is extremely dangerous as i am a mother and have up to 3 children with me at one time. i can not trust my car to get me from a to b safely. my car dies randomly when it wants to. my car is now completely undriveable. i am still paying on this car and i can not even drive it! i need something to be done about this asap. this is ...

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford focus. while driving and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle vibrated and failed to gain speed. the contact mentioned that the failure occurred intermittently and the vehicle had to be turned off and restarted in order to accelerate. the vehicle was taken to long-lewis ford lincoln (2551 john hawkins pkwy, birmingham, al 35244, (205) 989-3673) where it was diagnosed that the clutch and seal needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 66,000.

Takata recall i'll be driving and my car stalled often and has cut off on two occasion .then my engine light came on.i was driving happen to be at a stop sign and the and cut off and rolled had to restart.when ever i stop the car it take time before it speeds up.

Car has 60000 miles and has exact same issues as everyone else is posting. shuttering, slow starts, loss of power on highways! how is this not on a recall list by now or do we wait for fatalities? these cars are unsafe for the roads! i just had clutch replaced and i am even scared to get the dang car back and drive it. ridiculous something isnt being done by ford. wont be buying them anymore unless we get some help.

Last month check engine came on while driving. car jerked and acted as if it wanted to cut off and when putting car in reverse the car would not go in reverse. while driving on july 14th after taking the car to ford dealership which they reprogrammed tcm the check engine light came on for the same code as before about shift fork b issues. while driving the car jerked a couple of times and acted as if it wanted to cut off and not accelerate. ford states they will not fix the issue unless for the current recalls on the clutch and tcm failure.
