MY 2013 FORD FOCUS WOULD NOT RANDOMLY START THE OTHER EVENING, AFTER A COUPLE TRIES IT STARTED. ON THE WAY HOME IT WOULD NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH NEVER HAD BEFORE. SO THE NEXT MORNING I WENT TO GO TAKE IT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC AND MY VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP, HOWEVER IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I HAVE READ THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE FOCUS' TRANSMISSION.

STEERING ASSIST ON VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE COLD. DASH READ "STEERING ASSIST FAULT. SERVICE REQUIRED." THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST. FORD HAS CLAIMED IT IS SOFTWARE RELATED. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I AM DRIVING. I AM AFRAID OF BEING STUCK OUT SOMEWHERE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO STEER. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO MOTORISTS. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT IS WELL KNOWN TO THE ONLINE COMMUNITY. FORD HAS HAD STEERING ASSIST RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PAST. THIS IS AN ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
