The issue i have is with communication from the manufacturer. ford has complied with the law and sent me a hard copy letter in the mail. however, their online communication is not as good and is downright misleading. while logged into their website, you can access a recall portal and see if your vehicle has any open recalls. currently, the information on this part of their website is false. as you can see from the first photo, the ford website claims i have no open recalls. this information is not correct and is contradicted by ford's own hard copy letter they mailed to me. in the second photo you can see that the nhtsa website also contradicts the ford website. considering that most people use online and digital services more frequently than physical mail, it is very importation this information is up-to-date. as i said before, ford did comply with the law by sending me a letter in the mail. however, they failed to keep with the spirit of the law by not updating their website. this may be an attempt to purposefully mislead consumers into thinking there is nothing wrong with their vehicle. this type ...
Recall 18s32 was done 08/2019 no problem found 12/2019 fuel tank become deformed ford will not honor the recall
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 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 ...
