2014 Ford Focus Fuel System Problems

After refueling your 2014 Ford Focus, the engine shakes abnormally and stalls. Restarting the vehicle allows you to drive it, but the problem continues to happen. You took your car to a Ford dealer, but they were unable to fix the issue. The problem started occurring around 145,000 miles. Fixing this may involve inspecting or replacing fuel system components like the fuel pump or fuel filter.

Your 2014 Ford Focus lost power and stalled while you were driving, even though you pressed the accelerator pedal. The check engine light came on, and after waiting an hour or two, you were able to restart it. When you took it to the dealer, they said the vehicle had already been serviced under a fuel system recall in 2019, but they didn't inspect or repair it this time — and you've noticed the problem is getting worse. The fuel system may need to be inspected and repaired to restore normal acceleration and prevent stalling.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding my 2014 Ford Focus due to recurring error codes P0456 (Very Small Leak Detected), P1450 (Unable to Bleed Up Fuel Tank Vacuum), and P2190 (System Too Rich at Idle). These issues relate to the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) and fuel tank system, which have caused symptoms such as intermittent Check Engine Light warnings, fuel odor, and difficulty refueling. These problems were confirmed by an independent service center during diagnostic testing, but the dealership refused to perform a goodwill fix, citing that my vehicle is not currently included in related recalls. This is particularly concerning because a large number of 2014 Ford Focus vehicles—approximately 1.5 million—have been recalled for similar issues with the EVAP and fuel systems, which pose risks such as fuel vapor leaks and stalling due to fuel system pressure irregularities. Although my VIN is not listed under the recall, the identical symptoms strongly suggest my vehicle should be included. I have not had the vehicle inspected by Ford or other representatives, but I urge NHTSA to investigate further as this is a significant safety concern that endangers me and others on the road.

-Canister Purge Valve malfunctioning. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. -This is a potential safety risk, makes and models within the same year are showing recall. When checking the specific VIN, does not appear to be covered under current recall. -Failure Code P1450 -No -Check Engine Light

Purge value. Code p1450. It tries die on me. Everytime I get gas my car has hard time starting. While driving last few days car tries die or make a surge forward. I'm still having trouble with this transmission ever since I bought it. I been back 3 times for them to adjust something.it has died on me while driving.

My card was recalled several years ago for a Purge Valve Canister. It was repaired but would still cut out sometimes. It is doing it again now, as a matter of fact when you pull up to a light or sudden stop it will stall the engine. Also when you fill up with gas, it does not want to start. I know that when it was fixed, the problem was a band aid fix. There is something in the vehicle causing this Purge Valve canister to malfunction. I think it should be covered under the SAME RECALL and it should be paid for by FORD.

Gas tank was filled and experienced erratic fuel gauge indication during drive. Parked vehicle and next day there was gasoline coming out of the bottom of the car. Towed and mechanic said the gas tank shows deformation, issue where the tube into tank/assembly is defective.

I purchased a new 2014 Ford Focus Electric (FFE) in 2014. I have learned since then that every FFE develops a high voltage battery, the battery that powers the electric motor, coolant leak at no more than 80,000 miles, rendering the car inoperable. Ford will not repair the leak and will only sell a replacement battery. Ford has not issued a recall and is allowing the cooling system for a battery made from a highly combustible material to fail. The cooling system failure also requires the driver to get off the road immediately with the "Stop safely now" message and leaves the driver stranded with a useless car. The following are links about the FFE battery coolant leak. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Check engine light came on due to the code P0442. It was caused by a faulty purge valve, which my car was already recalled due to this. To my knowledge the valve was replaced. The check engine light is on again, same code. The purge valve was replaced again, but the engine light did not turn off. Upon further inspection, the fuel tank is deformed. The purge valve defect can cause the fuel tank to be vacuumed in on itself, and there happens to be another recall on this issue. My car is not part of this recall. Not only is the check engine light on for the deformed fuel tank, but my MPG number does not match up with the amount of mileage I actually have left. There needs to be another recall with the cars that were not in the original group recalled.

My Ford Focus died on me at a stop sign, when trying to start it sounded it seemed like it ran out of gas, put gas in and it leaked out onto the ground. I had it towed to the Sewell Ford in Fayetteville AR 72703. They replaced the R Tube Asv-Fuel Vapour Separa, Fuel Cannister-fuel vapour store, E Tank Esy-Fuel, Ax Sender and Pump Asy and AA Gasket. They said this happened because of pressure in the gas tank. They looked up the recall, that this is associated with and a Ford location in Frisco said it didn't need to be fixed. Obviously it did. I paid 3,173.88 for the repair work. I called Ford Corp number and they stated same as the other Ford location is we closed out without being repaired. Is there anything i can do?

The contact also stated that the vehicle was restarted. The contact also stated he had completed the fuel system recall and had the engine replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle would stall and had to be restarted. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and diagnosed with fuel system failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V735000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The components and systems that failed are my engine and gas tank, they both are available for inspection upon request. My safety was put at risk, approximately two minutes before my vehicle slowed down enough to stop my brakes wouldn’t work. Yes I have called the dealership and the problems that the representative listed explaining a recall; is what I have been experiencing with my vehicle. Yes, 6/15/2022 the day after my engine failed my car was diagnosed by All 4 U Auto and he confirmed that the engine had blown and along with the gasoline tank both needed replacements. No, there were no warning lamps nor messages prompting alerts of my vehicle. There were several symptoms of the problem prior to the failure that occurred before and after the Ford recall; 18S32. I completed the recall fuel tank deformation 1/3/2019. I am still experiencing issues with my gas tank, which are listed on the official Ford website. I can only pump approximately 80 miles worth of gas or 1/4 full worth of gas. If I pump anymore the vehicle will stall and require for me to restart it multiple times 2 - 10, the more I “over pump” the more I will have to restart and longer it will stall. During pumping even 1/4 worth of gas my entire vehicle will shake and make a loud sound, and with re cranking causing engine malfunction. The website mentions; “Owners are advised to maintain at least a half tank of fuel until their vehicle is serviced for this issue.” although I can only pump 1/4 full worth of gas at a time. Another issue is I cannot leave the vehicle idle over 5 minutes, even when in traffic if I do not keep driving up 6 inches every five minutes it will turn off. This problem has negatively affected my battery, on a few occasions leaving the vehicle idle has caused my battery to need to be recharged and replaced. Lastly the vehicle does exactly what the recall mentions; “inaccurate fuel gauge readings”. While pumping gas the mileage on the dashboard sometimes does not increase. I am requesting an entirely new vehicle replacement, or at least a new motor engine, gasoline tank, catalytic converter and battery. I believe the malfunctioning of these products were due to the recall 18S32, which caused stalling and repeated re cranking of my vehicle.

This vehicle is experiencing a relapse of the same issues that led to a previous recall. It is experiencing fuel tank issues where the fuel gauge is unreliable and acts as though it is out of fuel despite reporting 1/4 tank. This has put the safety of occupants at risk as we were barely able to get off the highway in time before the vehicle came to a sudden and complete stop. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer as to do so will result in exorbitant out of pocket expense since Ford claims to have fixed the recall issue. That however, is not the case when it reoccurs a year later. Neither police nor insurance have inspected the vehicle as I was unaware that was a possibility The warning lamps that displayed were similar to a vehicle stalling out, which should not happen in an automatic transmission vehicle. It needs to be noted that this is a reoccurring issue of an allegedly fixed recall and Ford refuses to take any action on the matter.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall.

The contact was then informed that the purge valve was now defective and was given an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

my 2014 Ford Focus had a check engine light sensor alert on October 4th 2021. I scheduled for an appointment to have the vehicle serviced on October 18th 2021(closest time available). During the two week period I had noticed when I pumped gas that the engine seemed to have stalled when I tried to turn on the ignition. The second time the vehicle finally turned on but there was a low rumble noise. I gassed up a second time and I just heard a low rumble from the vehicle when I started the ignition. on 10/16/2021, I was low on gas but my low tank sensor did not go off so I figured I was okay to drive until I came to a gas station. My vehicle ended up stalling on a freeway while I was driving and I started to decelerate from 65 MPH to 60 and slowly decreasing. Nearly avoiding an accident I had my hazard lights on and slowly made my way to the emergency lane where I came to a complete stop and called for a tow. Upon getting my car serviced they determined that I needed a new fuel tank, fuel pump and purge valve due to the tank being warped. I had run out of gas, but my gauge and sensor did not detect that. Apparently this was a recall item a few years back but the manufacture said that my VIN was not on the recall list so I will have to pay this out of pocket.

I know exactly what's wrong because it's a recall that's on certain Ford focuses of this year but apparently not mine for some reason even though I have the problem but it's the emissions control valve that's stuck open my car stalls out after I fuel. I'm having an extreme loss of power sometimes just being me having to push the pedal more down to losing all acceleration all together to where it shuts down the cruise control when I'm on the highway. It's running real rough on idle all of which are signs of this recall but because it's not covered under my car I'm having to pay $100 just to put the car in the shop to have them look at it and tell me what I already know and then I'm going to have to pay whatever it costs to repair it which I'm sure it's going to be 3 to $500 for a problem they've already admitted to lying about before and obviously are lying about now when they say that this series of Ford focus 2014 was not affected so now I have to pay out of pocket for being a Ford customer so I hope it's worth it to them to lose me as a customer for the rest of my life because of something that would have cost them two or $300. And my family for generations have been lifelong ford buyers my family is well known at our local trotter Ford my grandparents literally buy a new car every year and say they're taking their business elsewhere after finding out about this so I don't see where they think they're saving money by lying like they are.

I CALLED TO CHECK ON REPLACEMENT OF THE GAS TANK ON 1/25/21, AS I HAD RUN OUT OF GAS BECAUSE LIFE GOT IN MY WAY AND I HAD FAILED TO MONITOR CLOSE ENOUGH. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE DAY MY CAR WAS PICK D UP AND I WAS TOLD TO CONTINUE MONITORING, THAT IT WAS DETERMINED I DID NOT NEED A NEW GAS TANK. THIS IS BULL!!! I HAVE MONITORED THIS PROBLEM FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND MY VEHICLE WILL OBVIOUSLY BE USELESS AS A TRADE-IN. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A NEW TANK UNDER 18S32 AND DID NOT. PLEASE REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT. I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THIS RECALL SO CHOOSE MAY1, 2019.

WE HAD A LITTLE OVER A QUARTER TANK OF FUEL. WE GOING SHOPPING SO WE TOPPED OFF THE FUEL TANK THIS MORNING. AFTER WE DROVE APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES, IT STARTED SNOWING HEAVILY. I NOTICED SOMETHING WITH THE CAR. I HAD NO ACCELERATION LIKE THE ENGINE DIED. REGAINED POWER FOR A FEW MINUTES UNTIL THE ENGINE DIED. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER A HALF HOUR, I TRIED AGAIN ONLY FOR THE ENGINE TO SPUTTER TO AND IDLE. IT IDLED FOR 3 OR 4 SECONDSAND DIED AGAIN. AFTER ANOTHER HALF HOUR I TRIED AGAIN. I STARTED AND RAN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME IN FEAR OF STALLING OUT AGAIN.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY CAR STALLED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET STARTED AGAIN TOOK IT TO NEAREST AUTO ZONE GOT ERROR CODE P1450 FUEL TANK VACUUM

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE 'STOP SAFELY NOW' ALERT CAME ON AND DISABLED POWER TO THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT DIDN'T TURN ON AGAIN SO IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO MY HOUSE. AFTER TRYING MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO LUCK, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS. I KNOW THIS DEFECT IS KNOWN BY FORD SINCE SOME RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BUT TO TRY TO REPAIR THE CONCERN. MY CAR'S 'ELECTRIC UNIQUE COMPONENT' 8 YEAR WARRANTY IS STILL VALID BUT FORD IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLES 12V BATTERY DIED DUE TO THE PROBLEM BUT THEY MADE ME PURCHASE A NEW ONE FOR $180. I BELIEVE I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CHARGED SINCE THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE CARS DEFECT. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS WITH NO RESOLUTION. I JUST FEEL I WANTED TO MAKE A COMPLAINT TO MAYBE GET ASSISTANCE WITH FORD ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

I WAS SETTING AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURN GREEN I STOP ON THE GAS A LITTLE TO START GOING BUT IT HESITATING AND THE WOULD NOT GO . IT JUST KEPT HESITATING AND CAR BEHIND ME LADE ON THE HORN. IT WOULD GO A LITTLE BIT AND STOP AGAIN. IT KEEP DOING THAT AT EVERY LIGHT I STOP AT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY. THE VEHICLE ALSO FELT AS IF IT WOULD STALL WHEN HAVING TO SLOW DOWN IN TRAFFIC. MALLOY FORD OF CHARLOTTESVILLE (2070 SEMINOLE TRAIL, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22901, (434) 977-7960) DIAGNOSED THAT THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL FOR THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THE SAME AS THE DEALER AND OPENED A CASE TO QUALIFY FOR REIMBURSEMENT IF THE VEHICLE WERE INCLUDED IN A FUTURE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

VEHICLE STALLS AND HAS HARD STARTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AN 'INACCURATE OR ERRATIC' FUEL GAUGE, AND LOSS OF POWER. RECALL WAS TO REPROGRAM THE ECM BUT DID NOT RESOLVE ISSUE. FORD DENYING TO PERFORM THE OTHER PART OF THE RECALL TO REPLACE THE CPV, GAS TANK, CHARCOAL CANISTER, AND FUEL DELIVERY MODULE.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON AUGUST 11, 2019 FROM OURISMAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF BOWIE. A FEW DAYS AFTER, I STARTED NOTICING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION, DECELERATION, AND FUEL GAUGE ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT FIXING THE FUEL TANK RECALL AND TRANSMISSION WARRANTY EXTENSION ON THE VEHICLE WILL FIX THE ISSUES. I TOOK OFF A DAY FROM WORK AND TOOK TO OURISMAN FORD & LINCOLN IN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA. AFTER SEVERAL HOURS OF WAITING, I WAS TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO DROP IT OFF ANOTHER DAY BECAUSE SOME PART(S) WILL BE ORDERED. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER, I DROPPED IT OFF AND IT STAYED FOR OVER 3 DAYS. I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. PERHAPS, JUST ABOUT 1000 MILES OF DRIVING IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR, I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT DUE ALMOST SUDDEN STOP ON THE HIGHWAY ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2019. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 60MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE ALMOST STOPPED WITH THE ALERT 'TRANSMISSION FAULT SERVICE NOW'. I MANAGED TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, TURNED OF THE ENGINE AND TURNED IT ON AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND THE ALERT CAME UP AGAIN. I DROVE AT NO MORE 20MPH WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO MY HOME. I SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH DARCARS FORD IN LANHAM MD TO DROP IT OFF ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2019. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I HAVE OWNED THIS FOR LESS THAN 90 DAYS BUT I HAVE GONE THROUGH A WHOLE LOT. NOW IT'S BECOMING CLEAR THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW, CONCEALED AND SOLD A SEVERELY USELESS VEHICLE THAT ALMOST TOOK MY LIFE. I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE ABSENCE OF A VEHICLE WILL OBSTRUCT MY WORK, MY SON'S SCHOOL AND ALL OUR MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS FOR THE WEEK. I SINCERELY NEED HELP... *TR

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR NHTSA #18V735 CANISTER PURGE VALVE/FUEL TANK DEFORMATION. WHEN VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY FORD OF GAITHERSBURG DEALERSHIP (MARYLAND) FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT IN JULY, 2019, DEALERSHIP ALSO CHECKED RECALLED CPV AND DEEMED IT WAS FINE AT THAT TIME. IN EARLY OCTOBER, 2019, APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER, CPV STARTS FAILING, REMAINING "STUCK" OPEN, AND VEHICLE DOESN'T START AFTER FUELING. WHEN IT FINALLY STARTS, VEHICLE'S ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REVVED IN ORDER TO KEEP FROM STALLING. FORD AND DEALERSHIP SAY THEY WILL NO LONGER PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OF RECALLED CPV BECAUSE "IT WAS FINE WHEN THEY CHECKED IT" TWO MONTHS PRIOR. OWNERS WITH RECALLED VEHICLES HAVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2019 FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF PRIOR CPV FIX OR COVERED REPLACEMENT OF FAILED, RECALLED PART, HOWEVER. WHILE THIS HAS NOT YET CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD, IT IS A RECALLED PART ON OUR VEHICLE, AND FORD SHOULD STILL COVER REPLACEMENT OF RECALLED PARTS, ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE WITHIN THE GIVEN TIME FRAME OF COVERED REPLACEMENT. ALSO, IF WE HAD NOT HAD TO BRING VEHICLE IN FOR CLUTCH REPLACEMENT JUST TWO MONTHS EARLIER, THE RECALL WOULD STILL BE OPEN ON OUR VEHICLE.

THE EXCESSIVE VACUUM MAY RESULT IN AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING, WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RESTART. THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE FAILS AS IN RECALL 18V735000, BUT IT DOES COVER THIS VIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE.

THERE ARE TWO OPEN RECALLS RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM OF MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING MY FORD DEALERSHIP SINCE THE WINTER OF 2018 ABOUT HAVING THE RECALL WORK DONE. THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME AND HAVE ONLY STATED THAT THEY WILL WHEN THERE IS A FIX AVAILABLE. AS OF THIS WEEK, 08/14/19, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TOOK TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THEM RUN THE CODE. TWO CODES CAME BACK AND BOTH ARE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE RECALLS IN QUESTION INDICATE THAT THE VEHICLE CAN STOP RUNNING WHILE DRIVING, AND THIS INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF AN A COLLISION. THE CAR IS NOW NOT RUNNING AT ALL. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT FORD HAS TAKEN CLOSE TO A YEAR TO FIX THEIR ERRORS WHICH HAVE CAUSED THESE RECALLS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SAFETY IS A CONCERN.

MY CAR IS PART OF THE 18S32 (FORD) RECALL FOR THE "FUEL TANK DEFORMATION". I HAD IT SERVICED IN MARCH IN BOLIVAR, MO AT BILL GRANT FORD DEALERSHIP. THE REPROGRAMMED THE PART AS NEEDED DUE TO THE MIL BEING ON WITH THE CODE AND STATED THAT THE RECALL HAS BEEN FIXED AND FORD HAS CLOSED THE RECALL ON MY CAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER FUELING AND IT COULD TAKE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5 MINUTES TO UPWARDS OF 45 MINUTES FOR IT TO BE ABLE TO START AFTER FUELING, WHICH LEAVES ME STRANDED AT TIMES. THEIR REPAIR LASTED ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS AND IT WAS BACK TO DOING IT AGAIN SO I AM BACK AT SQUARE 1 WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR IS BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF WAITING TO GET IN THE SHOP. IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE JIM TRENARY FORD DEALSHIP IN MOSCOW MILLS, MO WHERE I RESIDE. THEY ARE SAYING THAT THE PURGE VALVE IS FAILING DUE TO THE RECALL, AS THE RECALL STATES EXACTLY. AND DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE RECALL IS CLOSED ON MY CAR BECAUSE IT WAS REPAIRED ONCE, FORD IS REFUSING TO PAY FOR IT. IT IS NOT MY OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AS THIS IS 100% FORD'S FAULT AND I WILL NOT PROVIDE PAYMENT FOR IT. FORD ISSUES THE NEW RECALL (19S22) AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT MINE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL BUT YET IT NEEDS TO BE AS THE ISSUE IS STILL HAPPENING. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO FORD AND THEY STATE THAT THEY WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH PAYING FOR THE REPAIR ON THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS THEIR RECALLED PART. OR THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL FOR A MORE BROAD SPECTRUM OF VEHICLES AS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I REQUEST THE HELP OF THE NHTSA TO ASSIST ME WITH HAVING FORD FIX WHAT THEY BROKE. THANK YOU.

PRIOR TO, THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER, ALMOST ROCK BACK AND FORTH AT SLOW SPEEDS EITHER IN THE PARKING GARAGE, PARKING LOTS, AT HOME. RECENTLY THE CAR HAD A ROUGH TIME TURNING OVER AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION. THE CAR SHUDDERED AND SEEMED TO HAVE A HARD TIME MOVING. ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAD HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, HOWEVER, WHEN THE CODE WAS CHECKED IT WENT AWAY (P144A). WITH WHAT I WAS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PURGE VALVE HAD TO BE REPLACED.

THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR UPON SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE JERKS AND SHAKES LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ADEQUATE FUEL. THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE WANTS TO STALL. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN GOING IN REVERSE BUT ONLY WHEN IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THE OWNER DID NOT HAVE A MANUAL FOR THE VEHICLE. I STARTED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN MAY 2019. THE ORIGINAL OWNER SAID HE HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

TAKATA GAS TANK RECALL: LAST YEAR AT 68,000 MILES I TOOK MY CAR INTO DEALERSHIP FOR GAS TANK RECALL. IT WAS REPAIRED AND THERE WERE NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK AGO. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT. IT STARTED JERKING AND STALLING A LOT AND I REALIZED IN THE PAST WEEK I HAD STOPPED TO GET GAS EVERY DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. I HAVE PUT A TOTAL OF $55 IN TO DRIVE 300 MILES. I STARTED NOTICING THE MILES TO EMPTY DROPPING RAPIDLY JUST DRIVING LESS THAN 1 MILE.I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHO DID NOT PERFORM A DIAGNOSTICS TEST AND TOLD ME TO COME PICK THE VEHICLE UP, THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED A YEAR AGO. SO I CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PEOBLEM AND WAS TOLD I COULD ONLY HAVE THAT PROBLEM FIXED ONCE! THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD OPEN A CASE#CAS22299572 AND I WOULD HEAR BACK IN 1 BUSINESS DAY. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING AND I CAN'T GO TO WORK FOR FEAR OF THE CAR "BLOWING UP" ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE. WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS WE AS FORD FOCUS OWNERS HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH? OUR LIVES AND OUR FAMILY'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE. I HAVE LOT JOBS, BEEN WORRIED SICK, NOT TO MENTION THE TIME I HAVE WASTED TAKING MY VEHICLE IN FOR TGE SAME THING TIME AFTER TIME AFTER TIME. THIS HAS BEEN INGOING FOR 4 YEARS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND GAS TANK PROBLEMS. WHY IS FORD NOT OFFERING SOME KIND OF COMPENSATION TO THOSE OF US AFFECTED BY A VEHICLE THEY KNEW HAD PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY WERE PUT ON THE MARKET TO SELL! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND AND NOW IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING EXPENSES, I WILL HAVE TO GET A RENTAL CAR SO AI DON'T BLOW UP. PLEASE HELP!

NHTSA CONTACTED FORD BACK IN MAY 2018 ABOUT THE PURGE VALVE THAT SITS ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. FORD ISSUED RECALL 18S32 BACK IN DECEMBER 2018. MY CAR WAS SUPPOSED BE FIXED, ACCORDING TO THE LETTER I RECEIVED FROM FORD, IN JANUARY 2019. FORD HAS PROVIDED NO UPDATES FOR THIS FIX. WHEN I CONTACT FORD, I AM TOLD THERE IS NO TIME TABLE FOR A FIX. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I AM TOLD BY FORD TO NOT DRIVE UNDER HALF A TANK OF GAS AND NOT TRUST THE GAS GAUGE. THIS NEEDS TO GET FIXED ASAP.

FORD MOTOR CONTACTED ME LAST YEAR ABOUT A RECALL, 18V735. EACH TIME I CONTACT THEM, THE DATE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS HAS BEEN DELAYED FARTHER OUT INTO THE FUTURE. IT IS NOW DECEMBER 2019. I FEEL THAT FORD IS STRINGING ME ALONG, AND THAT PARTS WILL NEVER BE AVAILABLE. THE LONGER THEY DELAY, THE LESS UNSAFE VEHICLES THEY WILL HAVE TO FIX. I THINK ACTION, IN THE FORM OF LARGE FINES, NEEDS TO BE TAKEN, IN ORDER TO GET FORD TO FULFILL THEIR OBLIGATIONS.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS RUN HIT IT WILL SAY THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING AND IT WILL CUT ITSELF OFF. I HAVE HAD IT CUT OFF ON ME TWICE.I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK OFF GAS AND ONLY RUN MY CAR LIKE 40 MILES AND IT WILL SAY ITS EMPTY.

THEIR RECALL LETTER INDICATED THAT "PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE AVAILABLE BY 1ST QUARTER, 2019." I HAVE FOLLOWED UP WITH FMC THREE TIMES, THE LAST OF WHICH WAS ON 6/24/19 WHEN I "CHATTED" WITH LACY. THAT CHAT WAS TOTALLY UNSATISFACTORY. BASICALLY ALL I HEARD WAS THE CANNED RESPONSE AND NO REAL INDICATION THAT FMC HAS PLACED ANY PRIORITY ON FIXING THE UNSAFE CONDITION. MY HOPE IS THAT YOU CAN "ENCOURAGE" FMC TO TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND MAKE THE NECESSARY PARTS AVAILABLE ON AN EXPEDITED BASIS. I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY CARS ARE SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL, BUT I KNOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE STREET OR HIGHWAY WHERE IT CAN UNEXPECTEDLY STALL AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE HARM TO ME, MY FAMILY, OR SOME OTHER INNOCENT PERSON. ANY "ENCOURAGEMENT" YOU CAN PROVIDE FMC TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AND APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. DAVE

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY 2014 FORD FOCUS TO A FORD DEALERSHIP BECAUSE MY CAR GAS GAUGE WAS SHOWING ERRATIC MILEAGE AND BECAUSE I KNEW I HAD A RECALL. I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS I TOOK IT IN. MY GAUGE STILL KEPT SHOWING ERRATIC MILEAGE.I WENT BACK 5 DAYS LATER TTO TELL THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON AND I ASKED WHAT PROCEDURE THEY HAD DONE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD ONLY REPROGRAMMED A MODULE. I TOLD THEM IF THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD BUT THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED THE RECALL. THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME OUT AND IT TURNED OUT THAT MY CAR NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP, CANISTER PURGE VALVE, AND FUEL TANK. I TOLD THEM THAT THOSE THINGS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT IT BECAUSE IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL. THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO FORD INTERNAL SOMETHING AND FORD SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED AND THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY NOW. I MEAN HOW DOES A COMPANY LIKE FORD CAN BE SO UNPROFESSIONAL ABOUT SOMEBTING LIKE THIS. I MEAN PART OF THE RECALL IS TO TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO GET THOSE THINGS FIXED THAT THE FORD ASSEMBLY LINE FAILED TO ADDRESS WHEN MAKING THE MODEL. NOW I AM EVEN MORE SCARED BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE WHAT GAS MILEAGE IT HAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT CALLED CROSSROADS FORD OF SOUTH BOSTON AT 434-572-6926 (LOCATED AT 1011 COMMERCE LN, SOUTH BOSTON, VA 24592) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP, IT SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND THEN RESTARTED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT PROVIDED. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE GAS TANK FILLING STARTING AT THE END OF 2018. I ALSO STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY PRIOR TO THIS. I INFORMED THE DEALER OF THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF THE RECALL WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DEFECT (SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 18S32 /NHTSA RECALL 18V-735). THE DEALER COMPLETED THE SOFTWARE UPDATE RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE GAS TANK STILL EXHIBITED ISSUES FILLING (WHICH ONLY EMERGED AROUND THE STALLING ' THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL). THE NEXT DAY AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED, I RECEIVED A P1450 ERROR CODE RELATED TO AN EVAP CANNISTER ERROR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE REPAIR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THE DEALER (WHO HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL) STATED THAT FORD WAS UNWILLING TO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT TO THIS FOR THIS REPAIR. FORD, ON THEIR WEBSITE STATES, 'DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, CARBON CANISTER, FUEL TANK AND FUEL DELIVERY MODULE, AS NECESSARY. THERE WILL BE NO CHARGE FOR THESE SERVICES.' FURTHER EFFORTS TO SPEAK TO FORD DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH BILLING THAT FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS. AS A RESULT, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EVAP CANNISTER AT MY OWN EXPENSE ($331.39). THE P1450 CODE CAME BACK ON AFTER THIS REPAIR. THEREFORE THE ISSUE IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ANY FURTHER RECALL RELATED REPAIRS WILL BE AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO PROVIDE APPROPRIATE REIMBURSEMENT. THE DEALER EXPRESSED THAT THEY WERE VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, THE FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATED BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY, AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO A FUEL STATION AND FILLED WITH FUEL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AL PACKER'S WHITE MARSH FORD (LOCATED AT 9801 PULASKI HWY, MIDDLE RIVER, MD 21220, (443) 777-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFORMED DUE TO A STUCK CANISTER PURGE VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO VERIFY IF THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAN TAN FORD (LOCATED AT 1429 E MOTORPLEX LOOP, GILBERT, AZ 85297, (480) 821-3200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

I HAVE A RECALL FOR POSSIBLE DEFORMED FUEL TANK. IT IS MAKING MY CAR STALL AT ANY TIME TO INCLUDE USING CRUISE CONTROL OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN BY MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. THEIR ADVICE IS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK FILLED ABOVE HALF BUT I HAVE STALLED AFTER DRIVING 30 MILES AFTER FILLING UP. I HAD THEM INSPECT MY CAR AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I ASKED ABOUT THE STALLING AND THEY SAID WAIT FOR THE SOFTWARE. I GUESS THEY EXPECT THAT I WALK TO WORK UNTIL THEY FIX THE ISSUE. I HAD A LOCAL MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND THEY RECOMMEND I WAIT FOR THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSURE IF THE PART WILL FIX THE PROBLEM WITHOUT THE SOFTWARE. I ALREADY HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR A FAMILY EMERGENCY AND DONT WANT TO GET STRANDED WHILE DRIVING TO WORK BECAUSE I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A FAULTY CAR WITH NO FIX. I CAN AFFORD TO BUY OR RENT A CAR UNTIL AN UNKNOWN DATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V735000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING, IT WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FORD OF KENDALL (305-238-9211, LOCATED AT 15551 S DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL 33157), BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

FEBRUARY 12 OUR WAY TO WORK ABOUT 1/4 MILE AWAY. AT THE STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR THE OTHER CAR TO TURN. I LET GO OF THE BREAK THEN CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE IN DRIVING. LIGHTS ARE ON. POWER WINDOWS. FUEL TANK DEFORMATION. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. SAYING I HAVE TO PAY $800 SOMETHING DOLLARS FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND THE OTHER PROBLEM HE IS SAYING. UNTIL NOW I STILL DON'T HAVE A CAR. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR OR HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THIS DEFECTS PUTS MY LIFE AND THE OTHER PERSON IN DANGER AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE COMPANY DEFECTS? I CALLED 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS ABOUT IT. DOING MY OWN RESEARCH WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. TAKE NOTE: THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT SEEN OR TOUCHED MY CAR. I JUST SIMPLY STATED WHAT HAPPENED. AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED QUICKLY WITHOUT WARNING EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD A FULL TANK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DARCARS FORD LANHAM (LOCATED AT 9020 LANHAM SEVERN RD, LANHAM, MD 20706, (301) 459-1100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CANISTER SEIZED, WHICH DAMAGED THE FUEL PUMP AND CAUSED THE FUEL TANK TO IMPLODE. BOTH COMPONENTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,166.

(1) I SCHEDULED SERVICE AT DARCARS FORD LANHAM MD FOR 9/11/18 FOR POOR DRIVING & EXTREMELY POOR GAS MILEAGE (WAS FILLING UP ABOUT 2X/WEEK INSTEAD OF 1X/2 WEEK). CAR HAD 53,166 MILES, & NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. DARCARS DID A TUNE-UP WHICH DID NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE GAS MILEAGE. (2) I SCHEDULED SERVICE FOR 9/18/18. DARCARS FOUND PROBLEM: SEIZED FUEL CANISTER THAT DAMAGED THE FUEL PUMP AND CAUSED FUEL TANK TO IMPLODE. ALL PARTS WERE REPLACED. (3) AFTER REPAIRS, GAS MILEAGE WAS BETTER BUT NOT BACK TO NORMAL. USED TO GET > 30 ML/GAL, & WHEN I FILLED UP, DISPLAY ALWAYS SAID >400 ML TO EMPTY. NOW I GET 27-28 ML/GAL, AND AFTER FILL-UP DISPLAY SAYS ~330 ML TO EMPTY. (4) I RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL 18V-735 IN 12/18. IT INDICATED THERE WAS NO FIX YET. (5) SCHEDULED AN OIL CHANGE FOR 1/30/19 AND ASKED DARCARS FOR STATUS OF RECALL. DARCARS SAID THERE WAS A FIX: PARTS REPLACEMENT & REPROGRAMMING. DARCARS DETERMINED THAT PARTS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED WERE OK, SO ONLY REPROGRAMMING WAS DONE. (6) REAL PROBLEMS BEGAN 3/1/19. CAR SUDDENLY DROVE EXTREMELY POORLY WHILE ON HIGHWAY. IT WOULD HESITATE, & WHEN I GAVE IT A LITTLE MORE GAS, IT LURCHED & DROVE ERRATICALLY. IT THEN STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. I TRIED TO RESTART CAR A FEW TIMES & AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTED. CAR HAD ~3/4 TANK OF GAS AND NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. I SCHEDULED SERVICE ON 3/5/19. DARCARS ADDED OR REPLACED A TRANSMISSION MODULE. (7) NO CHANGE IN GAS MILEAGE, & LATEST SERIOUS PROBLEM HAPPENED 3/21/19. WHILE ON HIGHWAY, CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY WITH NO WARNING. GAS TANK WAS NEAR FULL, & NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. TRIED TO RESTART CAR SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT WOULDN'T START. CALLED FOR A TOW. TRIED TO RESTART CAR COUPLE MORE TIMES WHILE ON PHONE WITH AAA BUT NO LUCK. ~10 MINUTES OR SO LATER, WHILE WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK, TRIED TO START CAR AGAIN & IT STARTED.

MY VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER 18S32 FOR A POTENTIAL STUCK EVAP PURGE VALVE CAUSING EXCESSIVE VACUUM IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. AS MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FAILED PART AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL SERVICE, ONLY A PCM UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE, THE PURGE VALVE FAILED AND CAUSED RANDOM STALLS OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. FORD CLAIMS THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED AND I, THE CONSUMER, AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS, EVEN WITH THE ORIGINAL PART, SUBJECT TO THE RECALL 18S32, WAS THE FAULT FOR THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE RE-OPENED ON ALL THE VEHICLES THAT DID NOT HAVE THE PURGE VALVE REPLACED AND THE PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO PREVENT FUTURE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER HAS EXPERIENCED EXTREME SHUTTERING, FOLLOWED BY ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS, ONCE DECELERATING AT A RED LIGHT, ONCE ACCELERATING WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND ONCE WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, SHE HAS NOT YET BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT AS A RESULT. AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS SERVICED AT A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN 12/2018. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE THEN. THIS PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT UNDER A RECALL ALTHOUGH WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SAFETY ISSUES OTHER FORD FOCUS 2014 RECALLED VEHICLES HAVE REPORTED.

CAR IS VERY HESITANT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. HIGHLY CONCERNED OF RECALL REPAIR TIME FRAME DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF CRASH. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE PURCHASE IN 2016 DURING EVERY USE.

CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. FORD HAS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE RECALL ON THE PCV VALVE. THE ONLY SOLUTION THEY GAVE ME WAS TO KEEP THE FUEL TANK ABOVE HALF FULL ("UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SERVICED FOR THIS CONCERN CUSTOMERS ARE ADVISED TO MAINTAIN AT LEAST 1/2 TANK OF FUEL") , HOWEVER WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED FOR THE SECOND TIME I HAD OVER 3/4 OF A TANK. IVE CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE AND ALSO TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WOULD NOT OFFER A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THE CAR IS STILL DEEMED SAFE TO DRIVE ("AN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING OR WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RESTART, CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.")... ALTHOUGH IN THE RECALL LETTER RECEIVED SAYS "MAY INCREASE RISK OF CRASH". ALSO WITH THIS RECALL THEY SAY "CAUSING THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK TO DEFORM, RESULTING IN AN INACCURATE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE INDICATION" HOW AM I TO KEEP MORE THAN A HALF A TANK IF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. THE CAR IS A 2014 AND HAS 54000MILES..

VEHICLE IS HESITATING FROM START AND SEEMS TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING INTO GEARS. IT STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND THESE PAST FEW WEEKS SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY

I WAS DRIVING LAST FEBRUARY, 2018, LOW ON GAS. ABOUT TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE TO REFUEL. LESS THAN A MILE FROM EXIT, ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY. NO INDICATOR LIGHT EVER CAME ON THAT I WAS LOW ON FUEL. I PULLED OVER INTO EMERGENCY LANE. WHILE WAITING FOR TOW OPERATOR, MY FOCUS WAS SIDE SWIPED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER AND TOTALED BY CAR INSURANCE. LUCKILY, NEITHER MYSELF NOR BROTHER WERE INJURED. WE WERE IN VEHICLE. IT WAS TERRIBLE. I JUST WANTED SOMEONE WITH NHTSA TO KNOW. I DO NOT BELIEVE I HAD A TWO LITER ENGINE IN THE THING, WHICH IS WHAT THE INCOMPLETE RECALL INDICATES.

THE WIPER BLADES ARE GETTING STUCK ON THE WINDOW AND MAKES IT DANGEROUS TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND I AM DRIVING. ALSO WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PETAL) THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING.

I HAVE READ PLENTY REVIEWS AND EVEN CHECKED MY CREDIT REPORT WHERE FORD CARS OF THE 2014 HAS RECALLS ON THE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL SYSTEM. WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT THE CAR WE HAD TO GET THE CLUTCH REPLACE AND IT STILL HAD GAGING ISSUES. THE CAR CUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC AND I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO THE FACT THAT KT WOULD NEVER COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. WE EVEN CALLED A FORD AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP US. THIS FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD WHEN THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. I PULLED OVER SAFELY AND IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS WAS SOLD WITH A DEFECTIVE EVAPORATION EMISSION CONTROL (EVAP) SYSTEM. BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT, RAW FUEL CAN BE SUCKED THROUGH THE EVAP CANISTER THROUGH THE PURGE VALVE DIRECTLY INTO THE ENGINE, CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OR HESITATE WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS. MY CAR IS A 2014 AND HAS APPROX. 27K MILES ON IT. I NOW WILL HAVE TO PAY $1960 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE EVAP PURGE VALVE, THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL PUMP, AND THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, WHICH HAVE ALL BEEN DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE VALVE FAILURE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND THE NHTSA GOVERNMENT WEBSITE, INCLUDING COMPLAINTS THAT PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HARMED, AS THEY LOST CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLE ON HIGHWAY OR MAJOR ROAD. THERE WAS A LAWSUIT IN 2017 (JON RIVERA, ET. AL., V. FORD MOTOR COMPANY) BUT FORD WON AND THE DEFECT WAS NOT CONSIDERED A RECALL. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MANUFACTURING A FAULTY PART AND PUTTING CONSUMERS IN DANGER THAT THEY MAY NOT REALIZE. FORD SHOULD ABSORB THE COSTS THAT ARE RESULTING FROM THE FAILURE OF DEFECTIVE PARTS IN RELATIVELY NEW CARS.

I GOT A LOAN ON THE CAR LAST YEAR OF 2017 AND THE CAR HAD ISSUES ACCELERATING. I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE BUT MY HUSBAND AND WAS ON THE HILL AND I AND IT STATED TRANSMISSION DEFAULT. I TOOK THE CAR TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE CLUTCH. FOR ABOUT 2MTHS IT WAS FINE. THEN IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE PROBABLY. THE CAR THEN STARTS TURNING OFF IN TRAFFIC AND I ALMOST WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT. I THEN REPLACED THE BATTERY. THEN I FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO FORD AND THAT'S WHEN THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED MY ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM REPLACED. I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT AND I AM UNABLE TO PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WILL NOT EVEN COVER THE EXISTING ISSUES EVEN IF I DID PURCHASE IT. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE MY CREDIT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH TO OBTAIN ANOTHER CAR. I PAY A MORE EVERY MONTH AND I NEED SOME HELP.

2014 FORD FOCUS. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL VAPOR SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUTTER WHEN STOPPED, THE RPM INCREASES THEN DECREASES. THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THE GAS TANK WAS DEFORMED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

AT 61,100 MILES (1,100 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY), THE FUEL TANK COLLAPSED DUE TO A MANUFACTURER'S FLAW RESULTING IN A FAILED FUEL SENDING UNIT. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS RESOLVED BY FORD HAS RENDERED FUTILE.

MY GAS NEEDLE DOSE NOT WORK MY CAR STALLS WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN IT GOES DEAD WHILE DRIVING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WAS TOLD IT WAS THE PURGE SOLENOID

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 75 SOUTH AT 70 MILES PER HOUR, CAR SET ON CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR LURCH FORWARD. WHEN TRYING TO RESUME SPEED THE GAS PEDAL DID NOT RESPOND COASTED THROUGH A LANE OF TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR DIED. UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP MATTHEW CURRY IN NOKOMIS. AFTER THREE DAYS OF SITTING FORD DECIDED TO LOOK AT THE CAR AND QUICKLY DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS A PURGE VALVE STICKING CAUSING A VACUUM IN THE GAS TANK WHICH CAUSED THE TANK TO COLLAPSE AND DAMAGE THE FUEL PUMP. IT WAS EASY TO RECOGNIZE BECAUSE THEY HAVE SEEN THIS SAME SITUATION MANY TIMES ON THE FOCUS MODEL. A DOCUMENTED RECALLL HAS OCCURRED IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND OVER THIS VERY SAME ISSUE FORD A US MANUFACTURED CAR YET NO RECALL IN THE US. I CAN FIND MORE THAN 100 REPORTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAME SITUATION IN THE US BUT FORD WILL NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. I HAVE SPOKE TO CORPORATE WHERE THEY ISSUED A CASE/CLAIM # 14636968. THEY THEN ADVISE ME TO CALL THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO SAYS HE SENT EVERYTHING TO CORPORATE THEN GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE CALLED CHEVROLET AND HONDA THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GAS TANKS COLLAPSING. FORD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY SYSTEM. I AM GRATEFUL WE ARE SAFE THIS MALFUNCTION WHILE DRIVING 70 ON A BUSY FLORIDA INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR COULD HAVE ENDED MUCH DIFFERENTLY.. RIDICULOUS FLAWED PRODUCT

GAS GAUGE SHOWING 50 MILES REMAIN IN THE GAS TANK AND CAR RUNS OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPEN THREE TIMES TWICE ON INTERSTATE GOING 70 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

WHILE FILLING UP MY GAS TANK IF BELOW HALF WAY MY CAR WILL NOT START. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN LISTED ONLINE MANY TIMES AND IT SEEMS LIKE FORD REFUSES TO RECALL ALL 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE GAS GAUGE DISPLAYS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF FUEL AND I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO STOP WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I HAVE A ACCIDENT. THIS HAS BEEN LISTED ONLINE BY MAY PEOPLE THAT THIS CAR IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. MINE ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST STARTED. I NEED MY CAR FIX AND I AM TIRED OF PAYING FOR ITEMS YOU GUY AND FORD ARE AWARE OF. I NEED CONTACT FROM A MANAGER OR A CORPORATE WORKING FROM FORD. I AM ALSO FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB. I HAVE SMALL KIDS AND CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR WITH THEM OUT OF FEAR SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN. THERE ARE REPORTED CRASHES DUE TO THIS AND YOU GUYS ARE ALLOWING FORD TO PUT PEOPLE LIVES IN DANGER. I WAS STUCK AT THE GAS STATION FOR 45 MINS AFTER GETTING GAS DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS (24,000 MILES) STALLED IN TRAFFIC. IT HAD NO DASH LIGHTS BUT THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "ENGINE FAILURE". AFTER TOWING TO THE FORD DEALER, THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT THE FUEL VACUUM PURGE VALVE WAS DEFECTIVE AND HAD CAUSED A DEFORMATION OF THE FUEL TANK. HE ALSO SAID THAT HIS DEALERSHIP WAS SEEING SEVERAL OF THESE DEFECTS EACH WEEK. HE MENTIONED THAT A NOTICE HAD BEEN ISSUED TO DEALERS BY FORD ABOUT THE DEFECT, BUT THAT FORD HAD NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLES FOR THE DEFECT AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNERS. THE ESTIMATED COST WAS $1800. OF COURSE, THIS IS AN ENGINEERING AND PRODUCTION DEFECT CAUSED BY FORD AND REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE. A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED IMMEDIATELY.

THE CAR IS STUTTERING WHEN IT GOES FROM 0-45, STUTTERING WHILE PARKED, AT YA LIGHT/ STOP SIGN.

NOTICED FUEL GAUGE INACCURATE, MILES TO EMPTY INACCURATE, ENGINE CUTTING OUT WHILE COASTING TO STOP, FEELING GAS PEDAL UNRESPONSIVE OR SUDDENLY FUELING ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY. LEARNED FROM VEHICLE INSPECTION AT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. THAT FUEL TANK IS "DELAMINATED" AND DEFORMED, AND TANK, VALVE AND FUEL PUMP ALL NEED REPLACING. COST: $1500. NOT CONSIDERERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH, ACCORDING TO THEM, THIS IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW DESCRIBED BY A TSB YEARS AGO.

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 30 MPH, SAME FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS UNDER RECALL ON FORD VEHICLES MANUFACTURED THROUGH 2013-2015. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I NEARLY LOST MY LIFE DRIVING A 3 YEAR OLD CAR THAT I'M STILL PAYING ON. THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I HAD JUST SCHEDULED SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE EARLIER THAT MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT READING THE FUEL LEVEL CORRECTLY AND STALLING WHEN I FILLED THE TANK UP. THE FORD DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME 2,500.00 TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THE SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURER PART.

WHEN FILLING WITH CAR AT GAS STATION THE AUTO PUMP SHUT OFF DOES NOT FUNCTION SPEWING FUEL ALL OVER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. FUEL GAUGES ON CAR ARE NOT ACCURATE. TOOK CAR TO FORD THERE IS A TSB 15-0034 FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FUEL TANK WAS DISTORTED/DEFORMED CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO MALFUNCTION OVERFLOWING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IS A FIRE HAZARD WHEN FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO FIRE AND SAFETY HAZARDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERED AND STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO WORK WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR MORE FUEL. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE LOCAL DEALER (NORTH BROTHERS FORD LOCATED AT 33300 FORD RD, WESTLAND, MI 48185 (800) 586-4203) STATED THAT THE CONTACT HAD TO PAY TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-392-3673 AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTTERING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT IT WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THE CAR WAS DRIVING ROUGH AND STALLED WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT IN A LEFT TURN LANE ON A 6-LANE STATE HIGHWAY. IT WOULDN'T RESTART. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 FORD FOCUS SE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT MY FUEL TANK, FUEL PUMP AND VAPOR MANAGEMENT VALVE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT WILL COST 2000 DOLLARS. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. FORD REFUSES TO DO A RECALL EVEN KNOWING THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM

2014 FORD FOCUS WITH 45K MILES, COMPLETELY STOCK. FUEL TANK COLLAPSED DUE TO EVAP SOLENOID FAILURE. THIS CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO READ INACCURATELY AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 75MPH WITH NO WARNINGS. NO CHECK GAUGES LIGHT, NO SEL LIGHT, NO CODES, NOTHING BUT COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE FAILURE. FORD REFUSES TO FIX THIS KNOWN FAILURE UNDER WARRANTY CLAIMING IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (NOT SURE HOW EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT AND FUEL ISN'T POWERTRAIN COMPONENTS.......). FORD WANTED $900 TO FIX JUST THE FUEL TANK, PLUS ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE EVAP CANISTER, EVAP SOLENOID, AND FUEL SENDING UNIT. I WILL HAVE TO FIX THIS MY SELF EVEN THOUGH I STILL HAVE 15K MILES LEFT UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND THIS IS KNOWN FAILURE FROM FORD (THEY HAVE TSB'S FOR THEIR TECHS TO FOLLOW FOR THIS VERY SPECIFIC REASON!!!!!!). UNACCEPTABLE

VEHICLE SUBJECT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 15N03 AND 16B02. AFTER TWO REPAIRS FOR RANDOM LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER, WITH TWO REPLACEMENTS OF HIGH-VOLTAGE WIRE HARNESS, CAR CONTINUES TO DISPLAY "STOP SAFELY NOW" WARNING ON DASH AND LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD AS CAR HAS LOSS POWER IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES, FORTUNATELY WITHOUT INJURIES OR DAMGE. I AM RETURNING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR THIRD TIME TODAY FOR SAME ISSUE. FIRST REPAIR WAS IN BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER, 2015 AND SECOND REPAIR WAS DONE AT THE END OF APRIL 2016.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME MY CAR LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING.DRIVING AND THE CAR CUTS COMPLETELY OFF. I HAVE TO GET TOWED BECAUSE IT WILL NOT START. IT ALSO HESITATE AFTER I STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND/OR STOP. MOSTLY IT STALLS OUT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY

"STOP SAFELY NOW". WHILE DRIVING, POWER TO THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES. "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE SHOWS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 TIMES. THE FIRST WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY IN FEBRUARY. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF WAY OF TRAFFIC BEFORE IT CAME TO COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK IT TO FORD ON 2/24/16 AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL TO FIX THIS (I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL). THEY MADE THE REPAIRS AND SAID IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ON 4/18/16, THE CAR AGAIN COMPLETELY STOPPED AS I ENTERED AN INTERSECTION AND "STOP SAFELY NOW" MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN. A SEMI-TRUCK BEHIND ME CAME TO A SKIDDING STOP, A FEW FEET FROM MY BUMPER. I WAS VERY LUCKY ONCE AGAIN TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO NEWARK FORD AGAIN ON 4/18/16 AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO UPGRADE THE SOFTWARE. I ASKED IF WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY SAID "ABSOLUTELY", THEY DON'T SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. ON 4/21, THE CAR AGAIN SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING 50MPH. THE SAME MESSAGE"STOP SAFELY NOW" APPEARED. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE LAST TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY SAID IF THE MECHANICS SAID THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. I SAID I DON'T FEEL SAFE SINCE THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. HE SAID IF YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR. I TOLD HIM THAT IS NOT A GOOD SOLUTION AS I AM PAYING FORD TO LEASE THE CAR AND NEED TRANSPORTATION. HE SAID THERE IS NOTHING FORD CAN DO, IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE STATE, FORD IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. HOW CAN I FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT MIGHT SUDDENLY STOP AT ANY TIME?? I DRIVE 50 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY. I AM EXTREMELY SCARED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO CAUSE ME TO GET IN A BAD ACCIDENT. WHY DOESN'T FORD ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS CAR AND THE EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUES?

THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES ALONG WITH THE PEDAL AND THE CAR KEEPS BREAKING DOWN. COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED WITH FORD AND THEY REFUSE ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY. I BROKE DOWN 3 TIMES DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AND ALMOST GOT INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. EACH PART WE REC'D HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE AND WILL ONLY WORK UP TO A CERTAIN MILE AND THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF . I UNDERSTAND THAT IN 2013 THEY HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT ALSO REFUSED TO DO NATIONAL RECAL. WE WAITED OVER 30 DAYS FOR THE PART TO HAVE IT CRAP OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THIS PART WAS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER AS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WAS OOS. TO ONLY HAVE THE PART REPLACED 3 TIME.S

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY IN JUNE 2015. I DRIVE 100 TO 150 MILES A DAY FOR WORK. THE DEALERSHIP IS INSTRUCTED NOT TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP UNLESS THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT LEAST THREE TIMES SINCE JUNE FOR UNRELATED PROBLEMS. SAFETY IS SO IMPORTANT THAT I RECEIVED A REMINDER NOTICE IN NOVEMBER. YET, THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP UNTIL THEY CAN PROVE A PROBLEM EXISTS. I HAVE WRITTEN TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SUPPORT (SEE DOCUMENTS ATTACHED) ONLY TO RECEIVE THE SAME RESPONSE. FORD SAYS THERE ARE LIMITED SUPPLIES OF PARTS AVAILABLE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT IS TO PREVENT AN INJURY. FORDS NOTICE IS CLEAR THAT A CAR MAY STALL OR STUTTER WHILE DRIVING, WHICH CAN LEAD TO A CRASH. TO PREVENT A CRASH, INJURY OR DEATH FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD REPLACE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMPS BEFORE THEY FAIL. YOUR ATTENTION AND INTERVENTION MAY SAVE LIVES. SINCERELY, *TR

MY DAUGHTER'S FORD FOCUS SHUDDERS AND HESITATES WHEN SWITCHING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC, BUT HAS SOME SORT OF INTERNAL CLUTCH OR SIMILAR DEVICE ACCORDING TO FORD. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WAS TAKEN INTO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR ON JUNE 10. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART AND THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. THEY ARE TELLING US ALMOST 2 MONTHS LATER THAT IT IS STILL ON BACK ORDER WITH NO PROJECTED SHIP DATE. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO HAVE A CAR THAT HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION, AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDDAUGHTER WHEN THEY ARE IN THIS VEHICLE. ATTEMPTS TO ESCALATE THIS TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE OVER THE PAST TWO WEEKS HAVE RESULTED IN NO NEW INFORMATION, NO PROJECTED RESOLUTION AND NO ONE AT FORD CORPORATE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT I HAVE INDICATED IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE STEPS THAT NHTSA CAN TAKE TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION.

THIS VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING. WHEN AT A STOPPED POSITION OR DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR SPUTTERS, JUMPS, AND ALMOST STALLS OUT. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THEY ARE EITHER VERY INEPT OR JUST AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT ACTUALLY FIXING THIS ISSUE. MY DAUGHTER TOOK THE VEHICLE IN ONCE AND THEY TOLD HER SHE HAD TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR 1000 MILES AND THE CAR CAR WOULD FIX ITSELF. MY SISTER OWNS THIS SAME VEHICLE AND IS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

DEATH/SAFETY RISK!! ONCE AGAIN DRIVING MY FOCUS ON RAINY WEATHER, AND IT SPUTTERED AND STALLED. HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID SERIOUS REAR END COLLISION. CAR WOULD NOT START FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MIN. FINALLY STARTED AND ROUGHLY IDLED ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER. VERY FRUSTRATING. ESPECIALLY AFTER SPENDING APPX $1300.00 TO GET THIS REPAIRED AND SUPPOSEDLY 100% FIXED. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE- NEVER BUYING A FORD AGAIN. GLAD MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER WASN'T DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. NHTSA PLEASE MAKE FORD RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT!! CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS - AS A QUALITY ENGINEER IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, I KNOW THIS IS WRONG!! A POTENTIAL WALK CONDITION IS THE WORST CONDITION FROM A SAFETY STANCE. *TR

VEHICLE BROKE DOWN ON HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PULL OFF TO SHOULDER. TACH RACED AND THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. EMERGENCY PULL OFF TO SHOULDER. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. AFTER 45 MIN CAR ROUGHLY STARTED, AND I COULD PULL VEHICLE TO A SAFER LOCATION. VERY DANGEROUS! LIMPED THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP. AFTER 6-7 DAYS AND $1300.00 THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED I HAD A FAILED PUMP ASSEMBLY, SENSOR, AND COIL ASSEMBLY. FUEL INJECTOR #4 WAS REPLACED!! * WEATHER DURING ISSUE WAS RAINY! ** JUST HAPPENED AGAIN - 5/5/2015!! SEE REPORT #2 - SO UNHAPPY WITH FORD FOR MAKING THIS A POTENTIAL WALK CONDITION. PEOPLE CAN DIE FROM THIS! *TR

WHILE DRIVING CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOOSE RPM, MOTOR QUIT RUNNING, COULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. I WAS TOLD THE MOTOR WAS BAD AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, THE NEXT DAY WAS TOLD THE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD AND WAS ALL THAT WAS NEEDED REPLACED, THEN WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY "BAD FUEL" AND NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. I GET GASOLINE AT SAME PLACE, THEY TELL ME THERE HAVE BEEN NO OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH FUEL. ONLY LAST MONTH I NOTICED OIL ON SIDES OF CAR AND THE WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED, WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC AT FORD THAT THE "OIL AND WATER WERE MIXING". ALL THIS SOUNDS A LITTLE TOO WEIRD TO BE HAPPENING TO A 2014 VEHICLE AND I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO SPEND OVER $500 TO REPAIR A CAR THIS NEW. *TR

THREE SEPARATE TIMES WHILE BACKING UP FROM PARKING SPACES AND WHILE PULLING FORWARD, THE STOP SAFELY NOW LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND DRIVE NORMALLY BUT HAVE HEARD OF THIS CONDITION HAPPENING WHILE AT SPEED. CAR IS IN DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT OF HIGH VOLTAGE WIRING HARNESS. *JS

THIS ISSUE STARTED MAY OF 2014 WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS AT 13,000 MILES. WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT AS I RELEASE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR WILL SHAKE IN IDLE. ONCE I PRESS ON THE GAS THE RPMS WILL SLOWLY GO TO AROUND 2000 RPMS. AT THIS POINT THE ENTIRE CAR WILL SHAKE THEN JUMP INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AS THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. I HAVE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. LUCKLY NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OPERATING WITHIN NORMAL PARAMETERS ESTABLISHED BY FORD. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ON TWO OCCASIONS AND AM GOING TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR A SECOND OPINION. FROM MY DISCUSSIONS WITH FORD'S CUSTOMER SERVICE THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED AS NOTHING HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED. IF THEY WOULD DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THEN A COUPLE MILES THEY WOULD FEEL THE ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY BRAND NEW FORD ANYMORE. THIS ISSUE HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR ON A DAILY BASIS. *JS
