When the vehicle is in motion on city streets or the highway, my vehicle has erratic shifting, even barely moving from a stopped position. When accelerating slowly after being at a red light, the driver can lightly touch the gas pedal and the Ford will shift gears and feel as though the back tires are jumping or spinning out.

When we receive heavy rain the right side of my sunroof and the passenger plastic roof trim are leaking major amounts of water into my car. I had a puddle about 3 inches deep in my front passenger floor and a puddle of water in the rear passenger floor boards as well. When researching the issue it's clear numerous Ford Focus owners are having the same issue with no fix from Ford. I was told to keep it in a covered area which I do not have.

My transmission on my 2016 Ford Focus shudders, bucks, jerks, hesitates while changing gears, and there is a delay in acceleration. This has been an issue since I purchased the vehicle.

- Fort Worth, TX, USA

Vehicle manufactured 06/2016. Vehicle has shuttered when accelerating from a stop since purchase in fall 2016. I have brought the vehicle to the dealer for this and they informed me there is nothing they can do about it, it is just the way the 2016 Ford Focus is built. On 31 August 2020 the vehicle was off in a parking spot. When I turned the vehicle on and shifted into reverse, to back out, the vehicle would not move and the service engine light is came on. When I put the vehicle in reverse the dashboard indicator reads R and the back up camera activates but the tires do not spin and the vehicle does not move. To back out of a parking space I have to push the vehicle out. I have driven the vehicle approx 30 miles since this happened and the shuttering is much worse than before. When starting to move from a stop the vehicle struggles for about 5 seconds before acceleration. Vehicle is at 82,395 miles. Consumer has been in contact with the dealer and has replaced the tcm which was under recall but issue is recurring. Dealer is asking for $3,000 to have it fixed. Consumer has contacted the manufacturer and was provided #20B23 (replacement of clutch activator motor). Consumer provided info to dealer but vehicle is not qualified does not have error codes listed.

December 2018- I received a recall notice from Ford via snail mail and called a Ford dealer to submit a ticket. I was told that the parts were not available to fix the recall and will be notified once available. No response back regarding the issue till this day. Safety recall notice 18S32/ NHTSA recall 18V-735 was advised and complied with always leaving my fuel level to 1/2 tank of gas until the recall gets resolved. August 2019- received recall notice via snail mail. Same issue. Same procedures: Called Ford dealer, left a ticket/request, no resolution. August 10, 2019-went to get oil change and alignment. Started to notice jerking while driving, acceleration issue, car start troubles and engine light turning on/off. December 2019-got an initial check from North park auto repair due to engine light on. Dtc description: P219A- air/fuel ratio imbalance -I was referred to autocity to get it fix under warranty December 9, 2019- I reached out to autocity via email and telling them my concerns about the engine light and that I have not been using my car for 2 weeks. December 19, 2019- I got an appointment with autocity and got a resolution under their warranty: Portfolio service warranty which left me to pay $100 copay.

The automatic transmission fails - it is not sifting speeds

Had a few incidents where if you forget to hit the shut off button to the ecoboost that will shut your engine off during a stop light/traffic stop to save gas, it would completely stall the engine out when pulling out of a parking lot. Only had two incidents of this, of course I've always chose to push the button to save the starter. But then right after the warranty ran out, the engine started to leak coolant making one think it was a blown gasket by the white smoke. As I researched I've found forums that stated that it was common. But only the rs series had a recall and not the standard. But if it's the same components then why am I told only the rs should have the recall" but anyways my engine is unrepairable, cause after the first repair it did the same thing. If a vehicle that costs so much won't last until a 100,000 then why sell it" it just doesn't make sense.

I owned this vehicle since March 25, 2016. I've had to take vehicle back to dealership for repairs on transmission issues. I would always be at a red light when the car would would shudder when I start to move.

- Wadesboro, NC, USA

I have had the clutch in this vehicle replaced 3 times and it currently has 37014 miles. I have had the steering wheel replaced because the heated steering wheel didn't work. I had the transmission module reprogrammed 3 times. And now my backup camera suddenly turns pitch black. It's random. I could just go into reverse and it is already pitch black. Or I could be reversing with a clear screen and then it turns pitch black.

I just recently bought a car and it has been stalling while driving and having difficulty starting/revving itself up after I fill the gas tank. I have taken it to a shop to get a diagnosis and they said that it might have been the recall for the gas tank. Well, I looked up to see if my car had already gotten fix for the recall and it said that it did. So it might have happened again, and I'm not quite sure what to do. It happens every so often. As the engine light also comes on and off. When the light is off, the car is perfectly fine, but when it's on, it tries to stall.

I was involved in a spin out due to rainy weather on Monday April 6th, 2020. The car ended up hitting the concrete divider in the center of the freeway in access of 55 mph and the airbags did not deploy, even though the vehicle had frontal/ side impacts. I was unharmed in the event, but it is concerning to me, as my car was totaled and the frame warped around the engine.

Earlier in January, I was driving down interstate 70 from Kansas City to St. Louis at the rate of 77 mph. All of a sudden the car dings and sends a message on the dash "engine failure" and the car literally shuts down. I had no control over the car, no lights, no brakes, nothing! luckily I got to the shoulder of the road safely and finally came to a stop. I put the car in park and turned the key off. Still nothing... I waited about 5 minutes and then turned the car back on and thankfully it started. I drove it to the nearest place to have them run a diagnostic test and nothing came up. Finally got it home. It's not done this again, but now it runs rough. Like really rough. I've had the transmission clutch fixed once already. Luckily it was still under warranty. I will be contacting my local Ford dealer about this issue. Was unaware it was under recall.

While driving, my car all of a sudden stopped in the middle of turning, my foot was on the gas pedal and it wouldn't move. After a few attempts to get it going, it finally took off and started to make a grinding noise and shaking once it got above 25 mph. I've been to scared to drive it ever since.

- Wesley Chapel, FL, USA

When I first bought the car it started making noise when I drove it I took it in they said they fixed the problems it was still under warranty. After a couple of weeks it started making the same noises so when I had time a couple of months later I took it in again and they told me it was the transmission and that my warranty was not active anymore. It made the same noises the first time I took it in and they never said it was the transmission it was a wheel problem. I'm asking for help on what to do thanks.
