When you turn on defrost it fogs up all the windows quickly. Can't see out windows. Have to roll windows down to see.

The wiper fluid sprayer stopped working. I have no idea why. Then ever since I bought the car it stutters everytime I hit the gas pedal. So each time when taking have it has a shaking sensation. Each time I have taken it to the dealer they say the same thing that the car was made to do that because its an automatic dual transmission.

This is in regards to my 2014 ford focus. When parking the vehicle the engine will not shut off, even with the key out of the ignition! Faulty washer fluid pump leaks into electrical connector for washer pump and washer fluid gets pushed into wiring loom past the firewall and down into the bcm( body control module) connector part c2280d. The washer fluid then runs from the connector onto the male pins of the bcm corroding the pins and shorting out the bcm. This causes the vehicle to exhibit many faults, the worst are the vehicle not starting or as in my case, the vehicle would not shut off and continues to run even with the key out of the ignition. Ford recalled 433,000 vehicles for engines that don't shut off but my vehicle was not captured in the "build date" for the recall. I believe I missed the recall by weeks or a month at most?

While driving my vehicle the wiper delay stops working or starts up after a delay into another setting. From delay to full wipers. Set the wiper arm into another command and it works fine again.

I bought this car preowned from dealership. Within a year it had problems. Well driving at 30mph near my home the rpms shut up on the car while the speed stuttered as if the car was in neutral. I took it in right away other problems persisted on my way to the dealership such as not being able to shift correctly. They had told me they fixed the problem and all was covered under warranty so I was happy. This is where it got strange. They told me that they need to order another part and that it should be here within a week. As I am not very car savvy so I don't recall this part but it was under warranty so I was at ease. They offered to keep my car until the part arrived, which I thought was fine.. Luckily I didn't because 2 1/2 weeks went by before I made it back into the dealership and I asked the person who serviced my car when my part was coming in. He said it definitely should've arrived by now and it's strange that it hasn't. I come back another few weeks later and they claim that there was never any order for me at all. I don't know who originally serviced me I just assumed they'd have my records. Flashforward a year later in the same exact thing is happening but even worse. It won't go in reverse or sport mode. It's been turning on some days and not others and it goes about 5 miles an hour. I try to take it into the ford dealership and they're trying to say it is no longer under warranty even though my car is under 60,000 miles. They want to charge me $150 to diagnose I google several different places that will do it for free. Got the error code p2837. Ford still wants to charge me to diagnose. When I try to call and talk about how this car doesn't seem safe enough to have even sold and ask about the recalls they act like it's a one in 1 billion thing and keep connecting me to different departments where I just get an answering machine. Not right

Purchased 2014 focus on 6/7/14, clutch asy replaced 11/30/15,clutch asy replaced 9/12/16, install new etb 9/14/16 (throttle body), replace battery 12/20/16, given extended warranty w/$100 deductable 11/11/16 - warranty expired 6/7/19, replaced clutch asy 6/9/19 - 7/3/19. Three clutch assemby's in 5 years - very unsafe. Also 6/9/19-7/3/19 replaced side door latch (safety recall) and fuel tank deformation - replaced tube asy - fue. With this many clutch repairs ford new they had an issue. Even though ford gave me an extended warranty in 2016 due to the issues with my car, they backdated the warranty to the date the car was purchased. This also seems deceptive. Numerous times I was traveling on instertate roads, when I pulled out to pass a semi, the car would cut out. When accellerating in the city or on instertates, there would be no acceleration when pushing the accelator. Just the opposite would happen. The car would caugh and choke before finally catching to accelorate. I believe both ford and the dealer should be held accountable with all the safety issues this car has had, and continues to have.

As stated in other comments wiper work for a bit then stop in the middle of the window. I have had the motor replaced and wipers by a ford dealer. This issue is a big problem when it rains. The dealer found nothing wrong; but there is a defect in the wipers. Will cause a major accident if not corrected. Seems many others state the same problems.
