2015 Ford Focus fuel system complaints
Page 5 of 7: complaints 101 to 130 of 172, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Had recall service done for fuel tank deformation issue or so the dealerships says. But after I the car back it seems to be running great but 5 miles down the road it stalls on me and fails to crank when it did it wouldnt continue to run or idle for long before stalling again. After 30 mo s or so of priming fuel pump and retrying and letting set. It cranks up and runs fine. Recall needs to be further researched or dealership needs to be investigated for fraudulently claiming to complete recall procedures and not doing so.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford focus. While driving on the highway, the engine stalled, the vehicle lost acceleration, and gradually slowed down until it was guided to the side of the road. Also, after the vehicle was refueled, it would not immediately restart.

The failure mileage was 41,500.
My can used to get 400 plus miles when the has tank is full. Now it gets less and study get less when I fill up. When I step on the accelerator the car sound like air rushing in and the RPM's rev up way to high. This been going on for a few weeks. This happen while driving the freeway, highway, and the neighborhood streets.
Over the past year my ford focus 2015 has begun suffering a terrible "shuddering" when going from stop to moving (specifically the first shift range of 15-20mph), and esp. When going from stop to moving on a turn (stopping at a stop sign then turning for example) , pushing more gas doesn't seem to help accelerate any faster. The clutch has been replaced before but the issue just keeps getting worse, and it really sucks.
When trying to accelerate from stop my car sputters/ stutters and tries to stall out. It also has something wrong in the electrical system that has caused my stereo and other functions to no longer work
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford focus. While the contact's daughter was driving 15 MPH, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact took the vehicle to four seasons ford (601 duncan hill rd, hendersonville, nc 28792, 828‑693‑4281) and was informed that the vehicle was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v735000 (fuel system, gasoline). The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle no longer qualified for the recall due to a prior repair made to the transmission where a strip was welded onto the bottom of the transmission. The contact was informed that they could rebuild the transmission; however, she would have to pay for the repair out of pocket. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 45,685.
When I press on the gas to accelerate after stopping at a stop sign or red light, (after I have driven the car a small distance) the car jerks and jumps and does not want to accelerate. I am not sure if this is coming from the transmission or not, but it worries me because I do not want to be stuck in the middle of an intersection because my car will not go. It has been happening a lot, but I have not had it in to a repair shop yet and I am wondering if it has anything to do with the bad transmissions that were put into the ford focuses. This happens weather I am driving on a city street or on a highway and it is very concerning. I got a letter in the mail from ford back in december 2018 that stated my car was having issues with certain things and that they would be sending out a recall in the first quarter of 2019, but I never received any correspondence from ford after that. This issue has been happening for a long time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford focus. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v735000 (fuel system, gasoline). While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle shut off and restarted. In addition, the check engine indicator illuminated. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 81,691. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Purchased used from a ford dealer used 2015 ford focus. Was told that vehicle had to lern my style of driving. Car shutters when going accelerating, take time to shift between 1,2,3, gears. Also shutters at other speeds in the middle of shifting. Cannot shift quickly from parked or in stopped position like at a stop light or when merging into traffic. Car also now revs high and has to be cooled down after driving. I cannot trust vehicle to be driven by other family members due to transmission and engine acceleration problems. Has been an ongoing problem but dealership charges for diagnostics and states that it is the way I drive.
This complaint is in regards to the ford focus/fiesta dps6 transmission issue. Due to the dry dual clutch system issue, the vehicle engine would shake and rumble violently while moving. This mostly occurs when the supposedly automatic transmission shifting from the first and second gear. The first time I reported this to the dealer, they replaced the clutch which stopped the rumble issue until few months later, the rumble returned. Again I reported this to the dealership however this time they blamed it on the purge valve in the gas tank which they replaced. This did not fix the rumble issue and the dealership did not try to verify the rumble. They simply did not acknowledge it by stating they could not replicate the problem. Few months later while I was on the freeway, the rumble occurred again but worse than before. Immediately my vehicle lost power as if it's stuck at first gear. The vehicle's speed dropped tremendously which is extremely dangerous since I was on the freeway and everyone was going 60+ MPH. Luckily I was able to pull over safely without getting hit. I restarted the vehicle and it ran continue to rumble but not as violently, the check engine light was on. I quickly brought the vehicle to the dealership for repair. Even though I have a bumper to bumper warranty, the warranty company refuse to cover the transmission repair because the dual clutch system is technically a manual clutch. For that reason they do not cover it. As a consumer, we have no idea exactly what type of parts the vehicle contains. The vehicle was advertised as automatic transmission which in common sense, it does not contain a manual clutch. The dealership was requesting $2000+ fee to replace this clutch. At the same time of this inspection, the purge valve in the gas tank was also defected and needs to be replaced.
There was a recall issued for my car and the manufacturer has not provided a remedy.
I drove to the market to get some food and when I came back the car would not turn on we tried jump starting and it seemed like it wanted to start but it didn't.

Takata recall my cars transmission light is on and a message came up saying transmission at fault. Also when I would stop completely at a stop sign or red light the car would shudder and make a weird noise. I've been have trouble turning it on, I would have to jump start it every now and then.
18s32 manufacturer recall & 18v735 the federal safety agency recall. This recall was first posted approximately 8.5 months ago and I still have not heard anything about bringing it in for repair. This is a huge safety concern and I have a child I transport in it daily. I want and need this recall resolved asap as I will soon be transporting another young child. I can feel it acting funny as if something isn't moving properly or it is stalling like it isn't getting fuel when I am moving whether it's slow fast, short distance or long distance and has been happening more and more consistently for the last month or two
I have pick up issues due to recalled fuel cpv. I have to maintain above 1/2 tank of gas or else the fuel gauge does not register correctly causing me to run out of gas before the gauge registers empty. This has happened while I was in transit. The car has stalled while in traffic. It is very dangerous. Also,the car will sputter and backfire due to vapors gathering at dangerous levels in tank.the manufacturer notified me of this recall back in january and still does not have replacement part available to do recall repair. I utilize my vehicle to transport my mother who is on oxygen. I feel very unsafe doing so because of backfiring,stalling,etc ;so I have been having to spend tons of extra money arranging for alternate transport. This is ridiculous. Over 6 months to manufacture a replacement part? I want this part replaced before a worse incident is caused by this problem.
We have had a repeated code p090c that has ultimately LED us to the clutch actuators which are controlled by the TCM. This has caused the transmission to jump into other gears while driving, preventing the movement of the car once parked/then engaged into reverse stops working. Within the 24 hour period, the codes disappear then the mechanics cannot diagnose or confirm the issue??? I purchased my own code tester and figured this out on my own. Now, ford still does not have this as a recall even though this is a major issue with this make/model. There is an extended warranty on the part itself for those in the same situation, however, finding a dealer that will make the repairs without the codes in the car, that is the real difficulty. There is a class action lawsuit floating around for this issue as well. This happens when the car is in drive on ih 35 in austin texas. This also happens when parking the vehicle once the check engine light comes on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford focus. While driving 20 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated and an abnormal noise was heard. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to have an oil change and was informed that the failure was associated with the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v735000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact stated that the vehicle had previously been repaired per this recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,598. *tr consumer stated on my own accord ,I brought the vehicle to an authorized ford dealership and was told the vehicle was fixed. Less than 60 days later the check engine light came on and I had an independent mechanic place the car on the computer and it came back the purge valve, fuel tank and the fuel pump- the recalled item(s). I returned to the ford dealership with the information and the recall letter and they refused to fix the problem, said they already fixed it, which was not true. They updated the computer software, never replaced any parts. I returned to the ford dealership with the diagnostic test which I paid for by an independent mechanic and the ford mechanic told me I had to pay for the same diagnostic test and it would cost $150 and that the parts are not covered by the recall and that ford would not pay for it. Furthermore, I have contacted the ford motor company and have spoken with a kamisha and the case number is #21947630- 1888 631-3788 x77721 and have yet to be given any reasonable solution to remedy the problem.
Engine was stalling when I came to stops, check engline light came on. Code was for evap system. It was found the canister purge valve was faulty, causing the engine stalling. Keeping the gas tank filled above half tank alleviates the problem. We replaced the purge valve but the check engine light remains on as we cannot reprogram the PCM and I cant afford to let my car sit at ford for three days before they even look at it and then the exorbitant cost to repair.
I received a notice back in december 2018 about a recall on a possible issue with my car's cpv possible sticking and stalling car. I feel ford has exceed a reasonable time frame in coming up with a solution to this issue. Making sure I have a 1/2 tank of gas in my car at all times is not an acceptable solution to me.
The federal safety agency recall number 18v735 has not been corrected of second recall to fix received. The vehicle gas gauge is reading different to the volume in the gas tank and changes during a given trip.when is this recall going to be fixed??? Happens all the time.
On your vehicle, the engine may stall due to a stuck canister purge valve (cpv) within the fuel vapor system. A stuck cpv can lead to excessive vacuum in the fuel vapor system, causing the plastic fuel tank to deform, resulting in an inaccurate or erratic fuel gauge indication, inaccurate distance to empty (dte), and/or other drivability concerns. The vehicle may also exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (mil). Safety risk: an engine stall while driving without warning or without the ability to restart, can increase the risk of a crash. I have not received a notice to have this issue fixed.
Car constantly has issues stuttering when trying to accelerate. It causes shaking in the car and only lightly lessens when the gas tank is over halfway full and/or has a recent oil change. Already had a few parts replaced concerning the cpv because the gas pedal ceased functioning whilst driving on the interstate. I've gotten the recall notice letter but no full solution has been offered yet.
Been waiting 2 months for fuel tank and or valve to fix recall. Vehicle shutters. Now I call about the parts coming in and the service writer (sr) states the fuel pump will be replaced as well. I tried to confirm this with ford and they had no knowledge of fuel pump being added to the fix.
There is an active recall on my vehicale for cpav valve. My car is experiencing all symptoms of the recall, but the dealership is telling me I might not be covered because my vehicle passed a test a few months ago when I brought it in for another issue (the transmission, which was under warranty). They say they are waiting to hear back from ford for further instruction, but I have been waiting for more than 2 days with no response.
