No occurrence just worried
My car was at a standstill and my car stuttered like the transmission was going to fall out, i talk with kevin at liberty ford in aurora ohio and he said didn't the salesman tell you about the transmission problems and i said no. my radio has stopped working twice, i didn't have this problem until liberty ford did my oil change back in may 2019, also my car is missing while driving. not happy with being sold a lemon. *tr consumer no longer has the vehicle.*jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford focus. when the vehicle was started, the check engine indicator illuminated and remained lit. also, the vehicle did not start for a few days. the battery was replaced, but failed after three days. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and unknown failure codes appeared. the mechanic replaced the door sensor. the manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.
A month ago i started getting high temperature warning on my car, my coolant was completely empty, so i refilled it, but now my coolant is completely empty again which could have resuled in a fire, i have no been in any recent accidents, i'm a very defensive driver and i didn't run anything over.and my back break light keeps going out and ive replaced it several times
Car will not start. will respond to a jump but will not start after running for awhile again. then it starts with a bit of hesitation for awhile and then back to needing a jump. when at a stop and accelerating, there is a huge pause before the rpms kick in then it goes all the way to max before calming down to where it should be. power just doesn't feel right. also the sync 3 has horrible response and delay most days. is it related to the power /electrical issue? new owner purchased 2/19.
Car has about 13,000 miles. suddenly lost power while stopped at a traffic light. 'stop safely now' warning showed on dashboard. tried for 10-15 minutes to restart, finally restarted and completed commute to work. drove the car to the dealer same day. after one week, dealer has no diagnosis and has made no repair. i cannot drive an unsafe car on my daily commute, which includes highway driving. ford is obviously on notice that this is a serious safety problem and they haven't fixed it.
Unsafe condition: while driving and accelerating upon shifting the engine will continue to accelerate right to the redline there is no control of the throttle at this point also traveling down the highway i can step in on the cluth and release the throttle and the engine will accelerate or maintain its rpm speed you can shirt to neutrl and coast to the curb and it will maintin the engine speed wherever it decides on again there is no control of the throttle i have been to the ford dealer twice now 1st time they could not duplicate second time again they could not duplicate they handed me a sheet stating it was normal for the engine rpm to maintain for a few seconds during shift to ease the shifting and matching of transmission speed this is an unsafe condition, when you release the throtte it should close immediatly and rpm should return to base idle. i have been an ase certified master auto and truck technician for 33 years. i have sit down with the service manager and the general sales manager and i dont think ford motor company or the dealer is taking this matter seriously someone is going to get hurt here please help
Brand new focus electric, less than 3 days old from dealer on 8/17/2017. for the last two days, i have driven less than 100 miles. car was charged overnight and shows full charge this morning. i drove the car less than 30 miles today. in the evening, when i was driving, the car suddenly lost power and the engine stopped suddenly on the road. the car was in steady speed on a city street in a straight line. i was not accelerating. i was not braking. almost got hit by a car behind me. i was unable to restart the car. battery still show 80 miles charge. indicator warning shows: "stop safely warning lamp" and "electric motor warning lamp". all interior lights are bright when the car door is opened, it does not appear that the battery charge is low. also there is no warning of "low battery" before the car suddenly lost power. i also noticed when i turn off the "power/start button", the "information and entertainment display/gps" stayed on. even after i have clicked the "lock" button on the remote control key. after pressing the "power/start/stop" quite a number of time and switching between the two keys, then the "display center" finally turn off. we had to call roadside assistance to have car towed.
This will be my second complaint, as i have a complaint # cas-12526659-q7s5m2 with ford but i am being told that this is how the car is. accident waiting to happen. can not see speedometer during daylight hours or dusk or dawn.
The tachometer and speedometer have a auto dim at night time . can not read speedometer at dusk or dawn when driving under overhead led street lights that leave glare on windshield. auto dimmer has no adjustment to brighten past certain brightness. lights in other ford vehicles work differently then focus as bought 2017 escape and does not have this problem
