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.
Additional Notes:
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.

Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
CAR WILL NOT START AFTER FUELING. CAR SHAKES AND SHUTTERS AND TAKES MULTIPLE CRANKING ATTEMPTS TO START CAR. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FUELING. IT ALSO DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE TANK IS ALMOST EMPTY, HALF-WAY FULL, OR 3/4 FULL. THE SAME THING OCCURS EVERYTIME. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AFTER THE DEALERSHIP UPDATED MY SOFTWARE PER THE RECALL. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $100 JUST TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM THAT STARTED AFTER THEY UPDATED MY SOFTWARE.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A HEAVY SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING. IT WILL ALSO JUMP FORWARD WHEN CHANGING GEARS. NEVER RECEIVED UPDATES, RECALL OR SAFETY NOTICES FROM FORD. CALLED DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND WAS TOLD IT'S HOW THE CAR DRIVES. TIME GOES ON AND THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE. I BRING IT INTO FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME MY CLUTCH IS CHANGING AT 500RPM AS OPPOSED TO 250 RPM. MY MILEAGE WAS 60,200 WHEN I ARRIVED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT COVER THIS COST EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM STARTED WELL BEFORE THE WARRANTY. ESTIMATED REPAIR IS $2,400 ON A CAR I OWE $9,000 ON. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE.

Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD FOR A RECALL ON THE CANISTER PURGE VALVE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEY PREVIOUSLY FIXED IT ON APRIL 16, 2019. MY FUEL TANK IMPLODED AND MY CAR WAS STALLING OUT AND EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT START. NOW IT'S OUT AGAIN AND MY CAR IS STALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING, HAVING ISSUES WITH STARTING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED ON BOTH CITY STREET AT LIGHTS AND HIGHWAYS. MAINLY WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT IT WILL REV UP BY ITSELF AND THEN STALL OUT WHEN I START ACCELERATING. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO SUCH RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS MATTER AND WHEN I TRIED TO SHOW THEM THE DOCUMENT I HAVE FOR THE RECALL THEY STILL DEEMED IT INCORRECT. THEY REFUSED TO FIX MY CAR BECAUSE OF IT PREVIOUSLY BEING FIXED AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR RESULTING IN IT BREAKING DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO RECALLS. THE TRANSMISSION ITSELF HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND THE CPV ONCE AND NOW IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN. I CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, ONLY KEPT REPEATING THAT IT'S A ONE TIME FIX. FORD SIMPLY PUT A BAND-AID ON THE ISSUE RATHER THAN SOLVING THE ISSUE.
