My car has a check engine light with code P1450. This problem occurred in 2019 and was addressed by reprogramming the PCM. In 2021 I got the same code and now the purge valve is stuck open. I noticed that after adding fuel the car had trouble starting up until I gave it a little extra gas. I was advised not to drive the vehicle as it may stall, suddenly go into limp mode, or the fuel tank may collapse. I would like to note that all other focuses of this generation have received a recall on the purge valve, but excluding my engine the 1.0. a lot of digging into forums has shown me that many 1.0 owners have had this problem with their Focus. Quite shady to recall only some of the focuses when it seems that it's a common problem with all engine variations.

The transmission is not shifting gears properly. We took it to the mechanic and he said that it is a computer problem. The only thing that can solve the problem is a master reset. The mechanic said that that it is not something that can be fixed and the vehicle should be recalled.

While driving my car or even allowing my car to idle it starts shaking and will shut off. Once it is off it is very hard to get and keep it started. Once I do get it started I have to rev the engine between 3K and 4K RPM just to get it to stop doing this. I first thought it was only when putting fuel in or idling but it is happening all the time. I used injector cleaner and octane booster to try to help but it is not working. It is throwing a fuel issue when put on the diagnostic. It happens to the point where I cannot safely drive my car. The dealership stated it is probably the canister purge valve but my VIN is not listed although if falls within the year of the recall.

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.

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.

I had my Ford Focus transmission repaired at least three times so far. As of today, the car is still stalling and jerking. I scheduled a service maintenance today. But, I was turned down by todd ( service rep) and bob (service manager) because the level of effectiveness was not amounted to 250. Therefore, they recommend that I should continue driving the car as is and risk my life and my family. This is not acceptable. My life and my family life is worth more than $3000.

Vehicle stalls, high and erratic idle.

- Hinesville, GA, USA

When idling for so long the car just died. I opened the door and the alarm went haywire. Then I have to wait 20 to 30 minutes before I can restart the car. Nothing will work after it does this until it's able to be restarted. It's been at the Ford dealership. They replaced transmission issue, said that should fix it, but it still keeps on.

The power steering went out on this vehicle along with the transmission. We lived in the desert at the time (phoenix metro/san antonio to be exact); yet when we took it in for work the mechanic had found extensive rust damage to everything. Paid out-of-pocket for a new steering column and rebuilt transmission. Now, something is wrong with the radiator compartment. I believe that somewhere there is damage because once we are done driving for a bit, the entire reservoir will leak out onto the ground.

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.
