2015 FORD FOCUS Complaints

AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND PARKING, AFTER PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL WITH THE E BREAK ON AND PRESSING THE ENGINE START STOP BUTTON TO TURN IT OFF, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF BUT THE DISPLAY ON THE RADIO AFTER SITTING IN IT FOR A WHILE SAYS "TURN OFF IGNITION SAVING POWER" OR IF I GO TO GET IN THE CAR THE NEXT DAY IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S DEAD THEN STARTS WITH EVERYTHING RESET

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH AND THE TACHOMETER GAUGE STARTED BOUNCING AND THE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. RIGHT BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUTOFF IT ACTED LIKE THE FUEL WAS VAPOR LOCKED AND THE ENGINE WAS NOT RECEIVING AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/2 TANK OF GASOLINE. MY CAR WAS FIXED LAST FALL BECAUSE OF A FUEL TANK RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND FLASHED THE TCM. BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE AND FLASHED THE TCM I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PRIOR TO THE DEALERSHIP FIXING THE DECAL. NOW WHENEVER MY VEHICLE GETS AT OR BELOW A HALF OF A TANK ON MY FUEL GAUGE IT ACTS LIKE IT'S STARVING FOR FUEL AND IS GOING TO DIE OUT.

I HAVE A 2015 FORD FOCUS HATCHBACK AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALREADY FAILED AND MY VAN IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO SECOND GEAR I'M ONLY DRIVING FIXED.

WENT INTO A STORE, PARKED IN PARKING SPOT, CAME OUT, GOT IN CAR, PLACED CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF SPOT, CAR BEGAN TO BACK UP, THEN SLOWED DOWN AND STOPPED WITH ENGINE STILL ON,. I THEN PLACED CAR IN DRIVE, WENT FORWARD, THEN ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT AGAIN, CAR BACKED UP, THEN SLOWED DOWN AGAIN, THEN JERKED REALLY HARD. AFTER WAITING FOR THE CARS PARKED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE OF ME TO LEAVE, I PLACED CAR IN REVERSE AGAIN, IT STOPPED AGAIN, I PLACED CAR IN DRIVE, CAR ACCELERATED SLOWLY, THEN GAVE A HARD JERK AGAIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD AND MAKE A COMPLETE CIRCLE, AND DRIVE FORWARD OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT A HALF A MILE HOME . UPON ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY, CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AND STOPPED WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR SAT FOR 24HRS, I THEN TRIED TO START IT UP, IT STARTED UP, BUT WHEN I PLACED IT INTO REVERSE, IT DID NOT MOVE AT ALL.

ROUGH SHIFT STARTING AT 1ST AND GOING INTO SECOND THAT VIBRATE AND RATTLES ENTIRE CAR. THE BUCKLE MAKE IT SOUNDS LIKE BONES ARE BEING BROKEN . THIS HAPPENS DRIVING ANYWHERE AND CHANGING GEARS. STOP AND GO TRAFFIC IS THE WORSE. HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE GOTTEN FROM FORD DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND AN ALERT POPPED UP ON MY DASH SAYING 'DRIVER ASSIST FAULT. REPAIR REQUIRED', IT WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN SINCE THEN AND THE FIRST OCCURRENCE ONLY HAPPENED YESTERDAY. AND AS WELL TO THAT MY TRANSMISSION WHICH IS A 6 SPEED IS STIFF AND STICKS A LOT WHERE I CAN'T CHANGE GEARS IMMEDIATELY.

CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN TWO WRECKS. THIS RECALL HAPPENED BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND THE CAR COMPANY FAILED TO GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL.

THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR SHUDDERING AND HESITATION, IT WAS WORKING FINE BUT LATELY THE PROBLEM IS BACK.

MY CAR APPEARS TO OVER HEAT WHILE IDLED; SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY AND AGAIN WAITING IN A DRIVE THROUGH. THIS HAD HAPPENED BEFORE OVER A YEAR AGO AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECALL TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND IT WAS FIXED. I RECEIVE A WARNING STATING THAT THE CAR IS TOO HOT PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WILL CUT OFF. I TURN OFF MY CAR FOR A MINUTE OR LESS AND IT RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS TAKES PLACE IF THE AC IS ON OR NOT.
