Vehicle has intermittent starting problems. Inside dash lights flash on and off. Cannot have inside dome light on (the light that comes on when doors open) or it drains the battery. Settings for radio/heater/clock/etc. Change on their own. Nothing ever stays set. I have taken it in to the dealership a couple times now and they can never find anything. They kept it for 3 days the last time. This has been happening since I bought it. The vehicle is stationary when I have the starting problem. Sometimes the car will start in a few minutes, sometimes longer. The other problems with inside lights and dashboard happen when the car is in motion. This happens on various days and times.

There was a recall for the fuel purge valve getting stuck and not allowing my car to stay on after turning my car on it will run for 5 to 10 seconds before it stalls due to loss of fuel. I took my car to Ford dealership and they said they did not have the part to replace it, but they took my car in, once I got my car the very same day back. It did it again the next morning. I have tried fuel cleaners to resolve the problem but it still persists, it stalled on me while driving on this past Monday, and now when I try to search for the recall for information it looks like it was taken off from their website. The issue is not fixed and they do not have the part? as a consumer what can we do to fix a defect from manufacturing. My car is a 2015 Ford Focus with 75K miles and there was issues with this car from the start, including the known issue about the dual clutch transmission where it stutters and shakes while trying to change gears and take off from full stop. This car should be consider a lemon car and no one should buy it. This is fraud by Ford and they know it.

My car was driving very sluggish on 10/24/2018, I had my car towed 42 miles to the last Ford dealerships that worked on my car last for a engine issue. After they did some test they said that my engine has blown due to the head gasket warped and the cylinders warped which caused coolant to leak into my engine. Upon talking with the Ford dealership they said that I did nothing to cause this, the service advisory said it was a defect of the design since my car showed no signs of issues. Ford said that my car should have overheated or had warning signs appear.

There is now this grinding noise coming from my car engine. Was acting up a month after I bought it in 2017. Everyone said oh it's fine there's nothing wrong with it. Well it acts up as soon as I start to drive it slow.... others say it's the transmission. And others say I'm stupid. It slips when you start to go. I want this fixed

From the very first year that I bought this car, (2015) it has had multiple problems with it; it shakes, shutters, 9even at 40-50 mph) uses way too much gas, it had a badly corroded battery, the clutch and transmission both, had problems and recalls!! I was raised, believing that either Ford or Chevrolet, were the american cars to own; not anymore, customer service, after the sale, is a joke; both autonation's (850 N. burleson blvd, burleson, tx 76028 and the 5000 bryant irvin rd, 76132 locations are horrible!! after I pay this loser of a car off, I will never buy Ford again!!!

Twice pulling on to a busy hwy my car has stalled/shuddered, and lost power. Both times heat gauge sky rocketing. The last time my car turned off entirely, and had over heated. However it had only been in operation for about 5 min. Both times on a busy hwy. First time I took it in, they said it was a module update. Two weeks later it happened again and worse. I was able to limp my car into the dealership after letting it sit for 5 minutes. They replaced gaskets, and blew them on their test drive. Replaced a hose and gaskets again. My car was returned to me two days ago, and less than 50 miles later, the check engine light came on. The coolant was half full, and in the course of roughly 30 minutes of operation it had gone through half of the coolant. Yet there is no trace of a leak on the ground. In addition to all of that, on the first fix the ac had cut out twice which since they have claimed to have fixed. With all of this, it had created quite a fowl smell in my car as a result. My car at this point, my car has been in the shop 21 business days (not including saturdays.. which they work), the issues started mid August and it is now October 7th. They offered to give us the car back and that it was "just an air bubble". despite the check engine light being on and excessive loss of coolant. My car has been in motion each time it has had an issue. The first issue I was just pulling on to the hwy, so was just attempting to accelerate. The second time I had reached the hwy speed of 55 mph. (separate incident, they also had to replace a faulty seatbelt).
