My car has had problems with a mystery battery drain for two years. Since march of 2019 it has been stalling at stop lights seems to happen when the RPM needle drops. In the winter of 2018 I had issues twice where I tried accelerating and the MPH needle wouldn't move past 20 it did eventually speed up with me not pressing the gas pedal I also had a hard time breaking when this happened.

Door ajar light stays on constantly even when the car is not in use. The sensor will go off while driving and unlock all doors, even if the child safety feature is activated. Because of this message the dome(map) light on the inside of the car will randomly turn on and off. This also causes the battery to drain.

I am a widow, I have children to take care of. So for something like the ignition coil to all of a sudden go bad and cost me $850 is rediculous. I was at work and my car would not start. No warning, no nothing. Especially when I have read others online with the same problem. I'm beginning to wonder if ford is just ignoring this or is it a way for ford to make more money off of innocent hard working people. I am now in debt because of this and don't know how I'm going to get out. Needless to say my children did not have much of a christmas. I was warned about buying a ford and I am starting to regret it. I also have had hub assembly probls and now all of a sudden I need a motor mount. I guess this is what I get for not being able to afford a brand new car. So now my daughter and I have to drive around in something terrifying.

Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ford focus. When the driver was attempting to unlock the doors, the front locks automatically lifted up, but the rear locks remained inside the doors.

The electrical components are not registering correctly. The odometer and the miles to empty do not agree. The AC will cut off then back on. The wiper blades will only work on high but later correct. The miles per gallon are not correct. It will register 34.8 to 22.0 sitting still panel lights went off when I turned headlamps on high later in the day it was alright. These problems have been on going for 2 years. I have had it to ford motor on 11/8/2013 and 11/4/15.
