Had taken my 2015 focus into sarasota ford in sarasota,florida to be serviced and recall about the clutch recall. They had issued me a 2018 ford fusion courtesy vehicle for 3 days while working on my car for the recall, as well as the wiperblade motors bogging down to nothing on their own while under warranty. I was given a report upon pickup saying that the technician drove the car to smell for burning disc and looked through inspection port and wrote that there was no burning smell, that clutch is fine and that the wiper issue could not be duplicated. Wiper issue I have personally verified upon picking up my vehicle that was never fixed. Recall issue was never remedied per recall order inspection and or fix including reprogramming. I have gone on multiple websites to pull my car service history and there is no record of my car ever going in for service there. This tells me (speculation) they never reported my vehicle as being serviced, and also all websites including ford pass is stating my vehicle as being unresolved with the issue. I have checked today as well (2-10-20) and no changes or record has been recorded. Currently in the process of finding my vehicle report from them for documentation. Recall was issued for clutch disk fracture/potential fire risk

Driving on an interstate and my 2015 ford focus wouldn't shift correctly. Then a light came on saying "transmission failure. Service now." I was able to cruise to safety but it was a very scary situation with 3 children in the car!
I was heading home pull into driveway and car just cut off and never start back up I wait for a hour car stayed back up headed out to auto zone and they put on a hand computer and it was coded with internal control module called fire gave them the VIN number and was told not a recall after a read the recalls from july 2019
When I am driving my car is fine, however when I come to a complete stop then try to accelerate, my car's transmission seems to stick... Then it causes my car to shudder and shake. This issue also occurs during accelerating at lower speeds (10-30mph) and can occur during acceleration when a complete stop has not been made.

On june 15th 2019 I was involved in my first accident. I was at a stop going straight and in front of me was a car turning to go south on the street in front of me. As I was getting my first gear ready to go my car suddenly accelerated forward and I t-boned the person turning. I had my children with me and after this accident I feel very unsafe in my car, I lost trust in ford keeping me and my family safe. I know there has been recalls but when I take it in they say it just a software update or something about a fuel tank. I have seen a recall in regards to my transmission and I have mentioned it to the dealership but they give me the run around and say that they don't show that in their systems so they can't do anything about that. Now I'm hearing about the ford employees speaking out on faulty clutches.
I literally just bought this car and the stereo is popping very loudly when it is turned off , loud, low nothing seems to work but turning the car off and on. This a extreme safety hazard from being scared from the popping notices out of no where to my hearing on the road which is a danger. I have read many many problems with this happening but there is no recall. I am also have power issues to where my car jerks and shudders after a complete stop like it doesn't want to take off which it should not do. I have read many defects on this problem too
When I am driving my car is fine, however when I come to a complete stop then try to accelerate, my car's transmission seems to stick... Then it causes my car to shudder. It happens every time my car hits 1600rpms.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford focus. The contact stated that on various occasions, the vehicle stopped abruptly while driving. In addition, all the warning indicators illuminated simultaneously. The contact had the vehicle towed to cavalier ford greenbrier (1515 s military hwy, chesapeake, va 23320, (757) 424-1111) where the vehicle was inspected multiple times.

#1- on an incline: after coming to a complete stop, transmission periodically shudders around 15-20 MPH when shifting gears automatically. Also occurs frequently when slowing down to 10 MPH for a speed bump, then accelerating modestly; usually occurs in 15-20 MPH range. #2- after transmission heats up (driving for about 30 minutes), transmission shudders after coming almost to a complete stop, then turning onto adjacent street and accelerating moderately. Again, most often occurs between 15-20 MPH. #3- hillside assist on an incline: sometimes transmission holds vehicle in place, sometimes vehicle rolls back. #4- from a dead stop, engine bogs down a little upon initial acceleration unless gas pedal is strongly depressed. Vehicle purchased september 2019 from dealership, multiple events (over two dozen) occurred beginning almost immediately and continuing over a three-month (approximately 1,400 miles driven) period.
When starting from a stop or accelerating the transmission slips and suddenly gains traction. Noticeable slipping and missed shifts are always occuring.
My vehicle accelerated when I was slamming full pressure on the brake and caused me to hit a store, thank the lord I had full coverage and it only did cosmetic damage to the vehicle, I've also had times where it will say the traction control is out or it has no uphill start, my model doesn't have that. I would like a refund on my vehicle but it has issues already.
The vehicle continually surges when accelerating from a stop. Vehicle has been taken in repeatedly and I am told that they update software on a module. Am told it is a known issue but because it is in litigation they can't replace transmission. I want a safe car. I am afraid to let my grandchildren ride in it. Date below for event date is most recent.
While in rush hour traffic the vehicles dps6 dual-clutch "powershift" transmission failed to downshift properly causing the car to rear ended the car in front of it. Impact was roughly 15-25 MPH.
Vehicle experiences clutch shuddering on light acceleration. Ford has extended the warranty but refuses to repair the vehicle as the service tech advises, after driving it, that it isn't severe enough yet, per ford's arbitrary standards. When driving the vehicle, the shudder occurs when first starting out from a stop. The normal reaction when this occurs is to give it more gas, resulting in more rapid acceleration than planned or necessary. This may result in loss of control of the vehicle, especially on wet or icy roads. It is a defective product, acknowledged by ford, but ford refuses to repair it, gambling that I'll sell it or time on their extended 'warranty' will run out before it gets bad enough to meet their arbitrary repair threshold.

12-2-2016 purchase date. Purchase was delayed because sandifar's had to take it to a dealership for transmission repair. Clutch pack is what I remember being told. 1-26-19 break down. Driving to work on a paved county road and got a 'transmission overtemp' error (it was in the teens temperature-wise outside with snow on the ground). Transmission would not function for several minutes, then would only go a mile or 15 before overheating again. Finally gave up at the diner at highway 9 and highway 26. Had it towed (paid $200) to hubler/dellen/mccoy/whatever in muncie. Had to rent a car for two days (I had it for more than 24 hours). They replaced the transmission control module under warranty and charged me $430.96 to replace the clutch actuator. As far as I can tell it still slips. September 2019 receive letter from ford. Had some work done at adams (across from work in kokomo). They mention the clutch seems to be slipping. 11-11-19 to it to brad howell ford in kokomo. Talked to jeff in the service department. He made copies of my letter and my paperwork from hubler. The service manager was supposed to look into what can be done and call me.
Car began shuddering and then would no longer shift gears or accelerate while going up an on ramp to the highway. Had to put the car in neutral to roll out of traffics way.
Vehicle shutters very badly in first gear. Ford sent out a letter in september extending the warranty to include a free clutch repair, but dealerships refuse to fix the problem instead opting to 'update' the software, which does nothing.
I was sent a letter of recall dec 2018 for my 2015 ford focus, reference 18s32; the federal safety agency recall 18v‑735; I promptly took my car into autonation ford katy tx for repair, on dec 22 2018, warranty claim invoice# 981353 at this time PCM was reprogrammed and it checked ok. On oct 30 2019 my car was at half tank of gas, and it stalled out repeatedly, and engine light remained on. I took it back in. Im concerned that: 1) the repair was not effective 2) I need a calibration & inspection on the powertrain control module; ref recall 19s22n 3) my cpv valve was never replaced, as ford did not have the part avail at time of recall dec 2018. My car is showing all symptoms of cpv and or PCM failure..I cannot let my gas tank go till half full or below, or it surely stalls and engine light is on, also the low idle is v rough, classic cpv or pmc failure symptoms [xxx] cell [xxx] work phone [xxx] my dealer claims my cpv is fixed and I do not have right to recall 19s22n this is just wrong, in my opinion, it was never fixed, replaced in the beginning. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
