Entire electrical sync system has shut down and no longer functions. While the sync was going out, the speakers would crackle and make loud, startling pop sounds. This caused jerky driving as they would pop without any notice, even if the sync system was turned off. Recently, the wind shield wipers turned on and were sporadically increasing/decreasing in speed and would not turn off. The car was on (not the engine) and parked when the wipers turned on. Attempted to turn the car off, reset by opening the doors, and turning the car back on. They paused and then started up again once the car was driving on city streets. The speakers popping and the radio malfunction occurs while driving, while parked, when the car is on, and when it is off. This problem has been getting worse and worse over the past year.

Pulled out of my parking spot and the vehicle started shuttering and lurching forward and then completely shut off. Thought it was a dead battery but upon further inspection something is wrong with the fuel line. When I pour gasoline in, it comes right out of the bottom of the car.

Hello, I'm seeking help from your department as I am an owner of a Ford 2014 Focus. I've had three transmission/clutch replacements after purchasing the car brand new in 2014. Usually the car becomes unstable/jerky when driving which signalled a clutch replacement. However over the past two months after two more clutch replacements the transmission/engine ceased while driving in towson md inner city streets. The first being exactly over two weeks ago and which a new clutch was installed. I picked up the vehicle and two days later called the delearship stating it is still not driving right. I could feel something was wrong. I noticed sudden jerks and what seemed like the transmission was wearing off again. I was informed by the service person mike mazor that this is normal and the adaptive systems will have to get used to my driving pattern and to give it 1000 miles. I expressed my concern that something needs to be done because the vehicle felt unsafe to drive. Two days later while traveling on interstate route 40, the car suddenly decelerated, made a loud roaring sound and when I pushed on the pedal it seemed as if it was on neutral and did not want to move. All I heard was the engine rerve. Extremely panicked and scared I quickly moved over to the yellow line without causing an accident or injuring myself. I had the car towed to the delearship closeby as I felt very unsafe driving any further. I was informed today by alpacker Ford that they worked on the vehicle and the engine light is no longer on, the car runs just fine. They will be doing one more test tomorrow to see if they can replicate the problem. I'm totally baffled as to how the engine light turned off or why they can't find the issue. I'm afraid this car is going to cause a terrible accident if I keep driving and and pleading help from your department to get Ford to find the fault and fix urgently.

2014 Ford Focus has shut down while driving two times. Once in the middle of a busy road I was able to coast the car into a parking lot. The second time in my neighborhood, both times tranmissuon fault service now flashed, the car shuddered until it was at a complete stop. I've had the clutch replaced/fixed 2 times neither covered under fully and I was responsible to pay my warranty deductible. I have had the trandmission control module fixed once and now in the shop again, but was told they don't know what the issue is, haven't seen the codes that populated before. Each time I drive that car I literally risk my life, to have a car just drop RPM to 0, shudder and jerk until I can find somewhere to park it. I drive 40 miles one way to work taking up to 5 different freeways. At what point does my safety and those driving around me become an issue" when I stall out mid highway? when the car jerks to a stop and someone slams into me" each time the car has been taken in, I am told the problem is fixed, yet I find myself back again within months for the same issue. Losing power on a car while being in full motion going up to 45 mph, is not safe for anyone. Having to drive a car that consistently shakes and jerks while in motion, is not safe. How many more times does this need to occur before someone realizes this model is not safe!

Have a 2014 Ford Focus has many recall now transmission went out and it's in shop.

When I drive my vehicle, I believe the transmission is having problems with shifting gears. It shakes really bad when I'm getting up to 20 mph then it some what stops. The car will ideal real loud or the rpms will go up high for no reason when I'm at a stop. Sometimes the rpms will go up high when I'm on cruse control as if I'm pressing the gas down (fast and all the way to the ground) but I am not.

Some 2011-2016 fiesta and 2012-2016 Focus vehicles equipped with a dps6 transmission may exhibit intermittent concerns of loss of transmission engagement while driving, intermittent no syart or loss of power. These symptoms are usually accompanied by an illuminated check engine lamp. Additionally, symptoms may include messages in the message center indicating hill start assist is not available, that parking aid malfunction/ service is required or the transmission prndl/S gear selector on the instrument cluster may flash. Diagnostic trouble codes dtcs U0100, U0101, U1013 and/or P0606 will be present or stored in the powrttrain control module (PCM). I turned on car from walmart parking lot. A message appeared on saying transmission fault service now and check engine lamp came on. As I drove back home the car pulls back as I stop at a traffic light. Took it to carmax and they said to take it a place to check transmission. Baumann complete auto repair center said that the car needs to be completely reprogrammed. Tsb 16-0129.

Whenever I accelerate from a stop, my car hesitates & "jumps" a few times before picking up speed. It happens very randomly from what I can tell. Sometimes doing it often and other times it accelerates normally.

The horn quit sounding upon activation by the horn relay switch on the steering wheel. It does not sound when pressing the remote twice to confirm it's locked up. It does not sound when the alarm is activated. The fuse is ok. The horn relay does not click when horn relay switch on steering wheel is depressed. The wires are all intact and connected. I took it to a Ford dealer. They said it would cost $200-300 and need the car for 2 days. According to all the complaints and concerns about this issue on various websites, thousands of owners of Ford Focus have the same issue with the same response from the dealership.

Transmission jerks, slips and if I want to skip the shuddering I have to drive faster also in reverse mode I hit the car behind me while parking because the reverse mode makes the car "jump" which makes me loose control of my reverse speed and the car(transmission) is just being fixed 1 week ago and Ford people told me in Ford services that that is how the car is supposed to work! I did not know what to do so decided to sell(loosing 2K dollars) the car the way it was but I do not think the car has to be on the streets is just dangerous, so in a nutshell if I dont want the car to jerk or shudder I have to step on the gas pedal harder that is just unsafe and in reverse mode makes the car 'jumps" and hit other cars while parking. Ford service people told me that is normal so I decided to get rid of the car, but I swear if I had the money I would buy all of the focuses with power shift transmission and destroy them just to have american drivers safe, please do something this is unvelivable.

When you are acceleration from first to second and sometimes second to third the car shakes very very badly and makes it hard to accelerate.

When accelerating it feels like the clutch is not engaging. The car rattles and jerks despite previous recall repair of the transmission and recent replacement of the transmission modulator system. This problem has existed since I got the car, but has gotten progressively worse and feels like it is going to stall or ruin the transmission.

- Floral Park, NY, USA

The first incidence (2/26/18) was while stopped on a highway off-ramp, the engine stalled. The car was able to be restarted and driven. On a second occasion (2/28/18), I was driving and in motion on a residential street when the engine shut off. The brakes and steering was not affected and I was able to stop the car and restart the engine. Prior to this, the check engine light came on and I had scheduled service on the car for 3/7/18 (the earliest they had available). The car has had multiple transmission replacements in the few short years that I have owned it.

For the past year, my Focus has been having issues with the clutch, and in the past it has had a recall for this exact problem. However, I never got a letter or call for this recall. Recently on Feb. 19th I went to future Ford in auburn, ca to get this checked out and they said Ford will have to deal with this. When I contacted Ford they said they can't help financially and therefore I have to pay the $3000 to fix something that didn't happen under my administration. I have the email they sent me saying they won't be able to help out. As this is a safety issue, I'm not sure why they won't help out as it causes my car to stall and hesitate when ever I need to accelerate after I stop. Not only that, I went in a few years ago having to fix another part of the car, and if Ford knew that they had a recall for this, why didn't the fix it at the time.

The transmission is slipping and jerking while I drive. The clutch was replaced while under warranty. But transmission still acted the same. Now Ford won't agree to fix it. Transmission is under recall #14M02 for tcm not the clutch and Ford tell me I have to fix clutch. When they replaced clutch before they told me it would take several months to get it broke in to the way I drive and it was covered under warranty for 150,000 miles. Well I waited couple of months and took it back. Ford said it was past 30 day warranty and I had to pay to fix it. Ford should be responsible for replacing clutch since it never drove any different after they replaced clutch. The car has been at automotice group of jasper Alabama for 3 weeks and I haven't got any response from Ford except to contact service manager at jasper. Ford company has not even call service manager. Service manage has not heard from Ford.
