Took my focus in to have a customer satisfaction recall clutch replacement for the automatic transmission. i experienced bad jerking and acceleration issues. the dealer replaced the clutch 2 1/2 months ago. i'm now at the dealer with my engine light on on and severely bad jerking and shifting issues again. the dealership diagnostic says i need 2 transmission shift levers replaced (levers a &b) cost in excess of $1000. this transmission as a whole is defective. why is ford getting away with this???
The horn stopped working approx. december 17, 2019. vehicle has about 155500 miles. horn does not sound when vehicle is locked using key fob. horn does not sound when center of steering wheel is pressed. one traffic incident already required the horn's use and it was not available. i verified myself that the fuse works and also that the relay works. i also accessed the horn itself and tapped it which made no difference. the horn is an important safety feature although used infrequently. it is not subject to wear and tear as a wiper blade would be.
Car will not recognize key and they tried to replace the body control module and now my car is just dead
I was driving my car home on the freeway november 19, 2019. going about 65 mph and it started shifting weird. i made it home hooked it up to the computer got the codes and it was all related to the transmission control module. the transmission control module was recalled on my car last year and the dealer fixed it. i took it back to the dealer they had it for about a week, called and told me they replace the transmission control module again however there was more damage. its transmission problems it needs a new clutch assembly, slave cylinder and 2 clutch release levers. they told me this was my fault and it would cost me about $2000. i take very good care of my car i didn't have any problems prior to this. i can't afford the $2000 right now and i'm still making payments on my car every month. dealership has all the info on their file.
Check engine light came on. took my car to titus will to get it diagnosed came back with code p0456 part number bv67-9d289-b/bv6z/9d289-r. after doing some investigating turns out there was a recall on the issue my car was having. my car was in shop in may of this year for a clutch replacement. at the time the advisor at the dealership let me know there was a recall and said it was completed with no findings at the time. well here we are in november and my car was having issues with the recall part. the dealership reached out to ford and requested a reimbursement and they declined stating once a recall is closed out there is no way to reopen and issue a refund. my car was stalling and having a rough idle and needed to get fixed immediately so i paid for the work to get done.
I want to know if anything is being done about the proliferation of high intensity headlamps both at the oem and the aftermarket level. these headlamps are blinding even on the low beam level. typically in rural areas i have to wear sunglasses to avoid becoming blinded by oncoming vehicles.
Recently my car radio has been crackling and then completely stopping all music. the radio system will be completely off and make an extremely loud static noise and scare me while i am driving! this is not safe and could cause a massive accident or an older person to have a heart attack. i have a panic disorder and it gave me a panic attack while i was driving. i had to pull over and take my emergency panic medication. volume is completely off when it is happening and the radio is completely powered off. even when the car is completely shut off and we walk away from it the noise will continue and wake the neighbors up. we have completely pulled the fuse from our car.
We were notified that the "clutch" on the ford focus was under warranty for the life time of our car due to a shuttering sensation when pulling out from a complete stop. we are now on our 3rd replacement since 2015. the latest repair was on 9-27-19
While driving my rpm went all the way up to 8 then the orange light highlighting d was blinking then my car just started slowing down. i pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the car. waited a while and tried to start it and it wouldn't even start. there was nothing when i turned the key. then i got a warning light that said transmission fault. tried to start it again and it said car was not in park
Radio malfunction. after some time of driving, the radio will begin to crackle which leads almost unbearable popping within the speakers and has also caused the radio to stop working altogether but still makes the popping noise. popping noise is so loud that it has frightened the driver several times. the driver has even made the decision to just remove the radio from the vehicle to prevent being frightened and jerking the steering wheel. this happens nearly all of the time, whether the vehicle is in motion or stationary, whether turned off or running.
Doesn't drive or go in reverse was at a red light it didn't want to drive off almost caused a wreck
I had a recall on this vehicle prior to this complaint i'm filing now . the recall was fuel deformation inspection, ford installed a fuel vapour sep the recall number is 18s32. now this problem was originally fixed 3/18/19 . it is 8/13/19 that i am back at the same location for the same exact problem which includes low fuel pressure , the gas isn't getting to the engine (censor) and the car stops out of no where while driving on a highway .
Horns were replaced in 2017 under warranty. dealer's service writer told me they were having problems with horns. horns worked intermittently starting five months ago. had car in for state inspection two weeks ago and that day they worked so car passed but service writer advised that horns needed to be replaced. the car is no longer under warranty and the part is more than one year old which is the length of time ford warranties the part. i have checked on the ford focus forum (focus fanatics.com) and many others have had the same problem. a horn is not a normal "wear and tear" part and should not have this problem. the dealer refused to even check with ford to see if they would replace the part either as a warranty item or as a "good will" item. obviously this is a substandard part and should be investigated.
While driving in motion, i ramdonly get an alert that there is an engine malfunction, which then causes my car to have very little power when accelerating. if i come to a stop, then give it gas, it goes extremely slow, causing my rpm's to shoot up. my transmission is horrible while shifting. its sputters, hesitates, jumps, and feels like it cant make up its mind on what gear to go in. and its only gotten worse. thre has been 3 different occasions where after stopping for gas, or being at work that i have shut my car off, and when i went to start it up again, it wouldnt. it woulndt even turn over. after trying several times, it would finally start. whatever is causing all of these problems, is also draining my battery as i had to get a new one after just over 2 years. a battery is supposed to last 5 years. ford said only 3-5 and therefore would not cover it since i was supposedly coming up on the 3rd year. which i was not. i do not feel safe in this car. and i now have a newly turned 16 ...
My car engine would not shut off!
