takata recall i was driving to work when my car started smelling hot. i literally just left my house i was about 5 miles from home. it smelled like how you use the heater for the first time during cold weather. i checked the gauges to make sure i was not over heating. i had no warning lights pop on and my temp gauge was normal. i than started seeing smoke coming from the side of the hood. i pulled over on the side of the road and got out. the entire car under neath was on fire. i immediately got away from the car and waited for the fire department and police to come.

The transmission clutch sticks and if not repaired car will stop running; car dealer stated it will be over $2200 to be remedied. this happens on the roadway while driving: car hesitated before going into gear. even when i'm motion it will back down and slow up. the ignition over years and needs to cool down before the car restarts.

Sometime while accelerating the car will randomly go from 2k rpm to over 6k rpm but you cant here the engine and it loses power and starts to jerk violently. once you release gas and the rpm's go back down to 2k then you can try to accelerate again. i thought this issue was just because it was cold the 1st time it happened but now it is happening more frequently. i've only had this car for little under a year and it has less then 20k miles on it.
Just filled my gas tank up then as i left the gas station got about 1 mile up the road then while sitting at a stoplight i turned the ac on and idle dipped, car felt like it was going to die(which it did) then as i tried to re-start, cel came on and car would not start. about 2 more times and it fired up along with a service engine soon message ... luckily for me i was a block away from future ford lincoln where i originally purchased the vehicle. 3 days later i got a call saying my vehicle was ready for pick up. i get there and they tell me that the reason was due to i had a aftermarket power wire routed over engine assembly causing electrical interference. so they disconnected what i payed a local professional audio shop $140 to install 2 days after i got the car. so, long story short, i get in the vehicle only to see that my fill up @ the gas station was gone... they used [xxx] near 3/4 of my tank of gas put over 100 miles on my car and i get 2 blocks away from the dealer and at the same light..... **** happens again!!!! took it right back to the dealer. just got my car back after 13 days in the shop and i couldn't be more pissed! 4th time i have gone to pick it up after hearing that they fixed the problem only to get in the car, drive it, and have it happen yet another time! they even tried to tell me it was my right front axle causing the problem this time around. ( i just had the left front axle replaced 2 months back at another dealer) throwing grease on a crank sensor causing my cel with dtc "p0106, p0236, p0340, p0344,p0365, p051b, p0532, p06a7, p08a9, p08b9" ...bla bla bla... they don't know what the problem is but they keep wanting to tell me they found the problem! what a waist of both our time. now the car is in my driveway, wont start, throwing about 8 to 12 codes and im waiting to hear from ford customer care. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Our ford focus stalled and could not restart. the car was able to start up with no problem, run for a few minutes but stalled when driving. the battery light came on and the engine would not turn over when attempting to restart the car. car had been driven the day before for well over an hour without issue. no error code is returned to the technician when runs a diagnostic on the vehicle.
Rodents ate through wiring effecting emission cable (located at rear of vehicle--just below gas tank)--this had to be replaced costing approx $500.--parts totaled only $15. labor costs totally ridiculous--
Vehicle experiencing transmission shutter relating to service bulletin 16-0109. progressively getting worst and i am scared it will cause an accident. took vehicle in 3 times for the same issue. also issues with display and phone unable to hang up during calls while using displays button and steering button.
Rodents chewed through wiring because the wire is made from soybeans. potential fire hazard. makes car inoperable. this is a known problem for several years prior to 2016. manufacturer should have fixed this problem by substituting wiring that does not attract rodents. manufacturer (ford) should make this right. the cost of repairs should not be borne by customers.
From a stop, when pressing the gas pedal the transmission starts shuddering and excessive vibration that shakes the whole car, also will not pickup speed so pulling out into traffic is dangerous , this car is dangerous to drive. my wife refuses to drive this car. 2016 ford focus se with only15000 miles on it.....please help
I was driving on my way home, and my car stalled in the middle of the road. i had to throw the car in neutral and crank it back up and slam it into drive and speed off, because i was going to get hit both directions. the transmission shudders hard in between gears, stalls out on hills/ struggles on hills, it fails to accelerate in the moment, the car fails to know what gear it wants to be in. that's just the beginning. i live in the city a small area not very populated but i still deal with stop and go traffic the transmission jerks hard if you don't start moving at a steady pace. the highway though it does relatively well, but that's when other problems start i have loss of power at times while in cruise control, it will bounce back and fourth like i have bad gas or something, it also has a very bad glitch with the windshield wipers (they hit each other). i have had the upmost problems with this car primarily the transmission, but that's not all folks. i do however feel this car is such a safety hazard to people, i have a "dont buy a focus" sticker going down both sides of my cars windows. i'm stuck with this car because of credit issues so i'm going to let everyone know my story if i can save them having problems not even a year after buying this brand new focus. all ford had to say is it's a clutch problem if completely safe. that's even when i told them i didn't feel safe and i didn't want to drive it till they did something about it. i'm not on transmission clutch set #5 i've dealt with so much lost time because of this matter and ford should be held completely responsible. start date for the problems is the day i bought the car. dont buy a focus!!!!
