DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AND MY 2015 FORD FOCUS WOULDN'T SHIFT CORRECTLY. THEN A LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "TRANSMISSION FAILURE. SERVICE NOW." I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE TO SAFETY BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION WITH 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR!

I WAS HEADING HOME PULL INTO DRIVEWAY AND CAR JUST CUT OFF AND NEVER START BACK UP I WAIT FOR A HOUR CAR STAYED BACK UP HEADED OUT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY PUT ON A HAND COMPUTER AND IT WAS CODED WITH INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE CALLED FIRE GAVE THEM THE VIN NUMBER AND WAS TOLD NOT A RECALL AFTER A READ THE RECALLS FROM JULY 2019

CAR WOULD SHUTTER THAN STOP RUNNING WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION. THE OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ONLY ONCE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN FOR AWHILE, AT LEAST 20 MINUTES. THIS PROBLEM WOULD KEEP ON HAPPENING THE LONGER THE CAR HAD BEEN ON, FOR EXAMPLE, EVERY TIME WE HAD TO STOP, SUCH AS AT A STOP LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR WOULD SHUTTER THEN SHUT OFF. ONCE, IT HAD SHUT OFF ON AN EXPRESSWAY AS I WAS ABOUT TO GO ON AN EXIT AND IT WOULDN'T TURN ON AGAIN FOR AN HOUR.

WHEN I AM DRIVING MY CAR IS FINE, HOWEVER WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STICK... THEN IT CAUSES MY CAR TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS DURING ACCELERATING AT LOWER SPEEDS (10-30MPH) AND CAN OCCUR DURING ACCELERATION WHEN A COMPLETE STOP HAS NOT BEEN MADE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 16,320.

WIND SHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTION AFTER 15 TO 30 MINS THEY RAPIDLY SPEED TO AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO CONTROL MODULE. THEN WIPERS SLOW DOWN AND TURN OFF AND ARE UNABLE TO COME BACK ON. ALSO WHEN YOU TURN VEHICLE OFF WINDSHIELD WIPERS STAY ON.

AFTER HAVING A RECALL DONE IN DECEMBER OF 2018 FOR THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE, OR KNOW AS RECALL 18S32 ALL THAT WAS PERFORMED WAS A REPROGRAM AND NOTHING ELSE. A YEAR LATER MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE, THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65K MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS FORD'S CORPORATE OFFICES AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR ANY REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE REGARDING THE PROBLEMS I'M EXPERIENCING, BECAUSE RECALL 18S32 WAS ALREADY PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE. AFTER FUELING UP AND STARTING MY CAR THE CAR WILL ALMOST STALL OUT, AS WELL AS TRYING TO STALL WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I'M ALSO EXPERIENCING A LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. MY OBD SCANNER COMES UP WITH A FAULT CODE "P1450 UNABLE TO BLEED UP FUEL TANK VACUUM". A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM EVEN AFTER GETTING THE RECALL 18S32 PERFORMED ON THEIR VEHICLES. IT SEEMS LIKE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION WAS PUT IN PLACE AND UNFORTUNATELY MANY PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING FROM IT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD RELEASE A PERMANENT FIX TO A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!

ON JUNE 15TH 2019 I WAS INVOLVED IN MY FIRST ACCIDENT. I WAS AT A STOP GOING STRAIGHT AND IN FRONT OF ME WAS A CAR TURNING TO GO SOUTH ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF ME. AS I WAS GETTING MY FIRST GEAR READY TO GO MY CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AND I T-BONED THE PERSON TURNING. I HAD MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND AFTER THIS ACCIDENT I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY CAR, I LOST TRUST IN FORD KEEPING ME AND MY FAMILY SAFE. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS BUT WHEN I TAKE IT IN THEY SAY IT JUST A SOFTWARE UPDATE OR SOMETHING ABOUT A FUEL TANK. I HAVE SEEN A RECALL IN REGARDS TO MY TRANSMISSION AND I HAVE MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAY THAT THEY DON'T SHOW THAT IN THEIR SYSTEMS SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. NOW I'M HEARING ABOUT THE FORD EMPLOYEES SPEAKING OUT ON FAULTY CLUTCHES.
