Problems with 2014 Ford Focus POWER TRAIN

As there are many lawsuits against ford right now for the dps6 transmissions, i find it quite absurd that there has been no recall made in this matter. i have a 2014 ford focus that has almost killed my children and myself countless times. often times the vehicle will hesitate when i try to pull out somewhere and often times will surge forward. when trying to pull hills it is a nightmare, if you do not take it at a higher rate of speed it will bog down and then take off out of nowhere. when i took it in before 100k miles i was told they couldn't replace the clutch in the transmission because i was out of my mileage coverage and then not long after i reached 100k miles they extend the warranty to 100k. this particular car has now had three clutches put in and it drives like a nightmare. no wonder why the 1st owner gave up on it after 33k miles and 2 clutches later! what needs to happen is someone other than people that are for the dealer need to drive it. i will give you full consent and urge you to drive mine ...

Car was taken to ford dealership to have the recalls done for the transmission, fuel tank evap and door latch. ford completed the recalls for the fuel system and door latch at this poticular time the transmission was not fixed.(did not pass fords shutter test). at this time the check engine light was on because of the transmission, according to the ford dealership. i picked the car up amd drove with my son the vehicle did not drive right because transmission issues. i contacted the dealership again after contacting ford motor company about my concern with the drivability of the car. i made an appointment but had to wait approximately three weeks because they were replacing the floor in their shop. the check engine light remained on the entire time until the appointment. after dropping he car off and ford diagnosing the problem, i received a call saying ford motor is now covering the transmission and they will have to wait for parts to finish it. at this time they also informed me that the check engine light is now on because of the purge valve. i had barely driven the car since the last visit when the recalls were ...

Clutch malfunction. gear slipping. not shifting properly.

For at least the last three years the vehicle experienced short periods of non-starting. in october, 2019 the car would not start period. previous it was able to start after moving the shifter from park to drive and back and sometime using the remote start. the october issue required towing to north county ford in vista, ca. after five days, it was determined the transmission had failed and needed repalcement. after replacement the non-starting issue resolved, but in the last three weeks it has returned. i have not had any issues while the vehicle is moving.

Transmission work temporarily in reverse. then reverse goes out completely. i'm about to take the vehicle back for repair the 5th time. and i'm very frustrated and mad. that i can't drive it. i want another vehicle or be compensated me a check for the vehicle so i can get another one without any problems.

I was driving along the highway 80 in the left hand lane , ready to pass a semi truck when the car lost all power from the engine a light came on and it read engine default service now ok , as all power was shut down . i was then forced to go to the emergency lane . i was almost ran over by two semi trucks coming from the right side of highway 80. i had it serviced at phil long ford chappel hills in colorado springs and they wanted $4500 to fix it .

I was driving on a city street. came to a stop at a light and someone on a bicycle came by. while my foot was on the brake my rpm's shot way high and my car tried to drive itself forward. luckily the bike rider had gone by. but could easily have been hit if my car did what it tried to do. i have been honked at and high beamed when i try to pass someone on a highway and i end up with little to no power and the person behind me nearly rear ends me because my car wont go. why does it feel like someone has to tragically die before someone does something about these ford focus' on the road. these cars are not safe. ford knew that, there is proof they knew that and made them anyway. its your job as highway safety to make them liable and get better standards before cars are sent to distribution. there should be more prevention than there is correcting. don't wait for someone to get hurt before deciding these cars are bad and unsafe. that should be a basic human reaction. not a corporate one. i ...

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???

Tcm replaced 66,550, clutch pack replaced 68,148, and complete communication failure between the throttle and transmission, tonight at 82,000 miles, i fully opened the throttle pedal down, and transmission failed to give me any acceleration for 3-5 seconds.this almost caused a bad situation tonight. radiator replaced at 77,600, coolant still drops to the min- line. no reasoning on where the coolant is going.

I will begin with my concern and then proceed to give you my back story. i was almost involved in a very real broadside collision with an 18-wheeler and another ford f-150 about two weeks ago. i was making a left turn with oncoming traffic when the vehicle failed to shift into second gear through the turn. the best way i can describe this is the feeling/noise we've all had learning to drive with a manual transmission and you miss the gear. the vehicle was stuck in neutral and the engine was reaching the rev limiter. i thought i was going to die. i'm very fortunate in the fact that the oncoming vehicles were able to come to a complete stop. i had to put my car in park, then put it back in gear to get it going again.the car just reached 55,000 miles and i've had to bring the vehicle in for warranty work on the clutch assembly five times since purchasing the vehicle. i have been told by the various service managers both to 'drive the hell outta the thing' to wear in the clutch properly. i've been conversely told to 'drive like a grandma' in order ...

Had to have 4 or 5 different transmission services done under warranty to resolve harsh shifting, erratic shifting, bucking etc. inluding total clutch rebuilds, software flashes, and total tcm replacement and the issue is still not resolved.

Took ford focus to an estimator at the ford dealership taylor ford and reported a major transmission issue. they stated its a fee in advance and it is only looking into one issue called module only the rest would be on us including fee to have this issue/ recall looked at. now we have no trans and have been told this is a real and yet concealed issue by ford and all their employees ? what the heck, we were almost killed on thanksgiving and vehicle we were riding in would not shift.

The car slipped to neutral without any warning while driving 65 mph. i was lucky that no one was behind me or i would have got rear ended and get killed or maybe the other driver would have been killed.

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.

Transmission slips from 1st gear to 2nd creating a dangerous jerky acceleration. it has almost got me rear ended. in traffic i was accelerating and it wouldn't short into second correctly. when it did it sent me jerking forward when traffic was stopping forcing me to hit the brakes hard and created a chain reaction which the car behind me nearly hit me. i was sent a notice stating it's a known issue and ford would fix it at no cost. when i bring it in they are refusing to fix it because of its branded title. the nhtsa needs to make this a mandatory safety recall so ford will be forced to fix this known issue so they can stop weaseling their way out of repairs that endanger customers safety.
