2013 FORD FOCUS Complaints

I HAVE HAD MY FOCUS IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION. EACH TIME THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCHES & SEALS. NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS THE CLUTCHES, SEALS, THROW OUT BEARING AND FORKS AT A COST OF $2231.00 & IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2013 & FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. I WOULD SAY THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS WELL AS MECHANICAL.

WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR HAS 87,000 MILES ON IT. JUST QUIT DRIVING WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACK AND FOUND OUT IT HAS HAD 4 CLUTCHES REPLACED. HAVE HAD IT AT HUNT FORD IN FRANKLIN,KY. SAID THEY COULD FIX IT FOR $4,000, I SAID CANNOT AFFORD THAT, TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC HIS TRANSMISSION GUY COULD NOT FIX IT OR GET PARTS, TOOK IT TO GREENWOOD FORD IN BOWLING GREEN, KY. SAME THING AS HUNT FORD $4,000 JOB. SOMETHING HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME. THE CAR WON'T EVEN DRIVE NOW. I PAID $4,000 FOR THIS CAR FOR MY NIECE I AM STUCK! I AM DISCOURAGED. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS WHOLE TRANSMISSION? THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN CHANGED MANY TIMES AND I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW TRANSMISSION. FORD NEEDS TO PAY FOR THIS. CAN YOU HELP ME?

CAR IN MOTION IN A STREET AND SUDDENLY STOPPED AND MY WIFE COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL. UNTIL SHE MANAGED SOMEHOW TO PARK IT. (POWER STEERING PROBLEM). SPEED PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATING, CAR SLOWED DOWN IN HIGHWAY SUDDENLY WHILE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME. IT DID IT 5 TIMES IN DIFFERENT DAYS. (TRANSMISSION PROBLEM). NOW CAR IS PARKED SINCE 3 MONTHS IN PARKING LOT. SINCE 2016 I REPORTED 5 TIMES TO FORD DEALERS THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I FILED ONLINE REPORT. I REPORTED IN 2019 POWER STEERING PROBLEM THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. I FIXED IT. NOW I CAN NOT DRIVE MY 2013 FOCUS FOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEM SINCE 3 MONTHS. THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM PAYING A LEASE FOR NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR.

POWER ASSIST FAULT FAILED. IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON ALL OTHER FORD MODELS EXCEPT 2013 FORD FOCUS. I STARTED MY CAR AND POWER ASSIST FAULT APPEARED NEEDING SERVICE. I COULD NOT MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS PARKED AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF I WERE DRIVING. SINCE OTHER FORD MODELS WERE RECALLED WHY NOT THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE? IT IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

I WAS DRIVING INSIDE TOWN WHEN I BEGAN TO FEEL THE STEERING GETTING STIFF. I STOPPED TO GET GAS TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT THE STEERING GOT MUCH STIFFER AND WAS MAKING SQUEAKY SOUND. AFTER THAT IT WAS VERY TOUGH TO DRIVE BACK HOME. AFTER REACHING AND STOPPING THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL HAS COMPLETELY GONE STIFF. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UP HILL AT 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC RETRIEVED FAULT CODE: P1450 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUNTINGTON BEACH FORD (18255 BEACH BLVD, HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA 92648, (714) 842-6611) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,595. INVALID VIN.

THE CAR SHUDDERS WHEN TRYING TO SPEED UP AFTER A STOP, THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF, BUT, VERY FREQUENTLY. IT ALSO PRODUCES A SLIGHT CLANGING SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. ONCE THE CAR SHUDDERS IT WILL CONTINUE SHUDDERING EVERY TIME YOU STOP FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE. THIS IS CONCERNING AS THE CAR KIND OF STRUGGLES TO JUMP TO THE NEXT GEAR.

STEERING FAULT ALERT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING IN COMMUNITY TO PICK UP MAIL I.E APPROXIMATELY 15MPH. WENT TO FORD DEALERSHIP VIA THE HIGHWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED ALMOST CAUSING A PILE UP!! THAT'S AT 60MPH! DIAGNOSTIC DONE SHOWED THE ENTIRE STEERING UNIT, GEAR, COMPUTER UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL OR WARRANTY PER FORD COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE AND LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. COST 2146.50 OUT OF POCKET! NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSSUE BUT RATHER A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. SO WHY ISN'T FORD RECALLING OR EXTENDING WARRANTY?! THEY NEED TO. IT IS VERY UNSAFE AND A COMMON FIND IN THESE CARS.
