2013 Ford Focus brakes problems

Filed Apr 30, 2022 · Brakes · WA

This vehicle was brought into jiffy lube and we inspected the vehicle. We noticed rust on the passenger rear of the car and we looked at the brakes on the passenger rear and there is little to almost no rotor left maybe a fingernail thin and it is not attached to the wheel anymore it has been cut from it and now is hanging on by what’s left of the brake pad. We gave him almost more than half off of what we can do to get it fixed and give the oil change what he came in for for free but declined and just wanted the oil change. I was scared for him to leave the shop because it is unsafe and endangering me and other people that are on the road around this area. But the customer did not seem to care how dangerous it could actually be on the road and didn’t seem like he was in any rush to get it fixed as well.

I purchased this car in august of 2017 in bastrop, texas at benny boyd used car sales. It broke 20 days later , where it went to bastrop ford , unknown as to what recall they repaired but it returned to the shop about less than 2 months later with another recall issue , I have had the same issues several times , I now have the same issues again and have since november of 2018 I would like to return to my home state and or be able to get a new car but because this car has consumed and nearly diminished almost every part of my livelyhood and self worth , finances, debt , etc . I am unable to even operate as a normal human. I need this issue addressed because the car dealerships refuse to address the federal recalls and or buyback till 2023. . This car loses gear, has clutch and trans issues described the same as everyone else's in all forums and complaint site across the web. Backwards in drive stalls at lights loses gear while driving makes robot sounds etc. I have ruined my life by purchasing this vehicle and would like to go back to being productive. I have a mirage of health issues so this is not easy considering I should be in control of my everyday life because I orchard a vehicle to drive not sit and watch it parked while paying 400 a month in it. I am at a loss for words and solutions . I am in fire need of someone who understands from all aspects . Thank you .

When driving car and come to a stop, it splitters when accelerating. When fuel gets lower than half of a tank, the car loses power, sputters and engine makes a grinding noise. This happens only when driving uphill or from stopped position.

Passenger side tail light is out (brake light bulb fault warning light is on). After several bulb changes, the brake light either does not come on or it burns out very quickly. An on-line search revealed that this is a common problem and ford has done nothing about this safety concern. I do not know when this problem first started because it may have been a long time before someone else noticed it and alerted me. The problem is present as soon as the key is turned on.

I've had the clutch and transmission control module replaced twice. The car still doesn't drive properly. My car locks, auxiliary, AC nobs need tweaking to work. The brake lights constantly go out. When I'm on an incline the brake alert comes on. And now there is a power steering issue. The steering wheel is completely locked up and I'm unable to drive the vehicle.

I purchase a 2013 ford focus july of 2013. About 3 months after I purchased the car, it started to jerk as I would press the gas to accelerate the auto. I've taken it into the dealership about 6 times since. They've reset the system and about a month later, the card would jerk again. This past summer, in a parking lot of a shopping center my car wouldn't turn on. I had to call a towing company and take it into the dealership again to have checked out. They said it was due to the clutch, it needed to be replaced. It was replaced and the jerking continued to the point I was so used to it, I forgot about it. A few nights ago I had the most terrifying situations while driving. As I was driving, I'd press the brake to stop at the red light and the car kept wanting to accelerate, making the system go crazy and the car dieing. I was able to turn the car back on but it died again. The dealership now says its the clutch and something on the transmission that needs to be replaced. Now, I get a call saying they cannot replace the clutch until I replace the release baring, which I have to pay out of pocket. My life was in danger and I could have easily crashed into another car. I am so furious with ford and will never purchase another car from them. I don't understand how I have to pay out of pocket for a part that is on recall to be replaced. Very upset!
