My daughter has a used 2012 ford focus that has an outstanding recall for cpv problems. she has had two experiences where the vehicle loses power and she's unable to accelerate no matter how far she presses the gas pedal. last week, 1/15/2019 the same issue happened on the freeway, while in motion, going approximately 65mph. very dangerous! especially with fast moving traffic. she managed to get off the freeway and coast into a parking lot. we had the car towed to camelback ford and we explained the situation and that after some research found there is an open recall on her car for a malfunctioning part/s that can cause the exact problems she's experiencing. they say okay, we'll get on it. well, they called us today, 1/20/2020, a whole 5 days later, to say that she needs a new battery and other things like a wheel alignment and bearing replaced. no mention of the recall repair being done. when asked they said they couldn't repair because they were unable to replicate the problem or find a code for it. so needless to say, she's been without her car for 5 days and the recall repair wasn't even done, and ...
Vehicle purchased august 30, 2012. two recalls for power shift six speed auto trans,clutch shudder. taken in both times in accordance with warranty and recall instructions. in both instances vehicle was never fixed based on safety codes and instructions. contacted ford motor and dealership. in both instances compliance was refused. last breakdown, jan. 2020, regarding recall was denied due to claims that vehicle was not properly warranted. took vehicle to dealer for recall issue again, and was told vehicle was not warranted for clutch and unsafe to operate. i believe the vehicle was never safe to drive! therefore, not only do i not have the funds to fix the original recall, but i do not have any vehicle or access to a vehicle. recalls are not ever to be the responsibility of the consumer, especially when vehicle was not properly brought up to codes and standards in the first place. all attempts to negotiate a civil outcome have failed, and now ford has completely locked me out of all access to any reps. and/or uppers authority supervisors, thus forcing me to file this complaint, which i hope resolves this issue and prevents me from obtaining legal representation. as ...
Vehicle would lose motive power in long turning off/on ramps when fuel level got down to just above a 1/4 tank at first then as time progressed the same issue would occur in highway traffic. narrowly avoided accidents on several occasions due to this. vehicle never threw a code for anything, it would just stop running. i took vehicle in to dealer to perform manufacturer recall 18s32, they just reporgrammed it and gave it back. problem got better at first but did not go away. since the recall work another recall has come out and the level of fuel i need went from above 1/4 to above 1/2 a tank of fuel. when the fuel gauge reads 1/2 a tank the vehicle will take between 7 and 8 gallons of gas (the fuel levels on the gauge are wrong) this morning i lost motive power on the highway in traffic at low speeds with a full tank of fuel and it finally threw the code p00c6 twice, which after looking it up i identified this to be something along the lines of insufficient fuel pressure at the fuel rail. i plan on turning the car in to have the second ...
When idling - my ford focus will often randomly accelerate, after a few moments it then bottoms out completely, nearly stalling. this also happens when i'm braking instead of decelerating it will accelerate and jerk the car terribly straining the brakes making it harder to stop.
When i make a stop and try to move the vehicle, i feel vibrations, lost of power. i did not know that ford recalled the vehicle to solve the problem. i just called but ford refuse to fix. the agent to whom i spoke, said that the mileage is above 100 000 miles. the current mileage is 173 000 miles but i have been driving with this problem for long time.
While in columbus, ohio, caught in heavy traffic, uphill, a red "transmission malfunction!" light went on, and the car immediately started shuddering and lurching forward. i was only going 5 - 10 mph in traffic, but the car was also shaking and when i came to a full stop the rpms would go up and down

Recall 18s32. brought the vehicle in to dealership on 9-8-19 when i received the recall notice. i was told that software needed to be updated. at that point, we had not experienced any of the symptoms of the recall. i was told that there was a check to see if the software needed to be updated and it did not. on 10-9-19 while my daughter was driving the vehicle, the gas gauge went up to full (it was only 1/2 full) check engine light was on (it has consistently been on for weeks) and most importantly and most frightening is the vehicle completely shut off while she was driving 65 mph on a highway. all of these things that occured are directly what the recall is for. although my daughter was driving on a hightway , thankfully she was not hit or killed by other drivers and did not crash the vehicle. now because the vehicle was initially brought in before any symptoms and ford determined no software update was needed, they are denying to replace the canister purge valve which is what we were told by the dealership needed to be done. ...
The car jerks a lot while driving. it is like a stutter or something. i had napleton ford check it out and they indicated that the clutch needs replacing. they indicated that there was a recall on the clutch and that it had to replaced by 100,000 miles. i bought the car used at 154,000 miles so i didn't have it at the time of the recall. my warranty won't cover the repair.

My car turns off while driving
After being stopped at a traffic light on the highway, my vehicle began acting as if it did not want to get up to speed and would not go above 35mph without dramatically jolting forward. it did this a couple of times before swerving a bit and finally stalling completely, pressing the gas would do nothing to get the car to speed up. i did manage to get it to a side road before having it towed to the dealer.
