THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED, AND STOPPED, AND WOULD NOT START IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES, INCLUDING THE LAST INCIDENT WHERE POLICE HAD TO ASSIST AT A RED LIGHT. SO TRAUMATIC, NOT DRIVEN SINCE AND CONTINUE TO PAY NOTES AND INSURANCE. HAVE HAD VECHILE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, AND PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

DRIVER STATEMENT = ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT APPROXIMATELY 03:00(AM) I WAS DRIVING THE GOV TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON 72ND AVENUE PAST THE INTERSECTION OF PIERCE STREET. I NOTICED THE CABIN OF THE CAR STARTING TO FILL WITH SMOKE, THEN I NOTICED A SMALL FLAME UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. SO THEN I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CALLED 911. WHEN THE ARVADA POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, THEY HAD A SMALL FIRE EXTINGUISHER WHICH THEY TRIED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE ARVADA FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NOT ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE OTHER THAN THE GOV.*DT *JS

WAS DRIVING ~75 MPH, GOT OFF HIGHWAY TO GET GAS (NO SIGNS OF ANY STEERING PROBLEMS). TURNED CAR BACK ON WARNING CAME ON, TURNED CAR BACK OFF AND ON AGAIN, WARNING STILL THERE. MOVE CAR TO PARKING SPOT FROM PUMP, NO POWER STEERING. HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR POWER STEERING FOR SOME FORD FOCUSES BUT NOT FOR MY VIN.

HAVING PROBLEM WITH STEERING HARD TO STEER FEELS JERKY SOUNDS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL APART I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND CANNOT AFFORD THE QUOTE THEY MADE DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I STILL AM PAYING ON THIS CAR ALSO PREVIOUSLY HAD WIRES CHEWED BY RODENT BECAUSE THE WIRES ARE SOY BASED MATERIAL AND CLUTCH PROBLEMS THAT WERE FIXED AFTER QUITE AWHILE EXPENSIVE AND VERY INCONVIENENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION THE VEHICLE WOULD ERRONEOUSLY ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE ON AN INCLINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE LOCAL DEALER LINDSEY FORD LOCATED AT 11250 VEIRS MILL RD, WHEATON, MD 20902 WHO REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

THE CPV IS STUCK OPEN . DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP AND GAS TANK. YEARS MODELS FROM 2012 -2018 WITH SAME PROBLEM ARE ON THE RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT FOR SOME REASON. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO SHACK AND STALL OUT.

WHILE DRIVING HOME (FIVE HOUR ROAD TRIP) NOISES STARTED COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. FELT LIKE IT WAS IS BINDING AND GRINDING. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY HOME, LATER ON CITY STREETS, WHEN TURNING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO SAVANNAH TIRE TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. THE DX WAS RACK AND PINION. THEY COULD NOT REPAIR MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND THE FIRST OF JULY. MY STEERING NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON A FIVE YEAR CAR IS A PROBLEM, THIS MADE MY CAR UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. AT ANY TIME MY STEERING GEAR COULD HAVE WENT OUT CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT HURTING MYSELF OR OTHERS. I COULD HAVE DIED. FORD HAS HAD STEERING ISSUES IN THE PAST ON MY CAR. THE CAR HAS HAD THREE RECALLS. ONE FORD RECALLED ON THERE OWN (STEERING ISSUES). I HAD TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED ON MY OWN PAYING THE AMOUNT OF $2,457.70 PLEASE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS RECALL THIS, SO THAT FORD CAN TAKE RESPONSIBLY FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR.

POWER STEERING FAILED ON 2015 FORD FOCUS. SAFETY ISSUE LOOSING STEERING CAPABILITIES DRIVING FROM ROAD INTO DRIVEWAY. STEERING ASSIST FAULTY MESSAGE APPEARED ON DASH. CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SAID NO RECALL ON DEFECTIVE STEERING. TOOK TO FORD. DEALER AND QUOTED ME $2573 TO REPAIR. LUCKILY MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WAS NOT TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. FORD NEEDS TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY ON THIS DEFECTIVE STEERING ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED.

I WAS INSTRUCTED TO GO TO SERVICE CENTER WHEN MY FOCUS STARTS JERKING, STALLING, SHAKING, AND STALLING OUT. I HAVE BEEN AT TO MANY INTERSECTIONS WHEN MY CAR ALMOST STALLED OUT WHICH MADE ME FEAR OF MY SAFETY AND A FEW NEAR COLLISIONS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY AT LIGHTS AS WELL AS IN MOTION ON CITY HIGHWAYS AND ON T
