We bought our 2013 Ford Focus St in feburary 2017. Starting in 2018 sometimes it wouldn't D go in reverse. It also started hesitating while we are driving or pulling out in traffic. Now in 2019 it will completely lose power going down the highway or just the street and leave us stranded. We have replaced the battery and have had other recalls addressed. I have seen a recall for the wiring harness but it doesn't show up with our VIN number. It was manufactured Jan 1st 2013. This car is very unreliable. You never know if will turn on and if it does it may make it a minor or 10+ miles.

Im having problems with my car's transmision. I bought it when it had 53K miles on it, now it has 69K. The problem has been there since I purchased it. The car hesitates when shifting through gears, the engine revvs up but the transmision will not respond as normal, it slips/hesitates. While driving on highways it sometimes displays a warning saying "transmision overheating pull over and turn engine off". I believe this is a major safety issue. I spoke with Ford dealership and they said the warranty does not cover this. They are instructing to replace the clucth.

Transmission clutch shuddering/chattering on acceleration, primarily in 1st and 2nd gear. Worse when ambient temp is warmer. Slams into gear, sometimes breaking tires loose on pavement. Only owned this car for 1 week. Mileage in the 70K range. Especially dangerous pulling out on a turn. Car will jerk sideways and hesitate, leaving you open to being struck by another vehicle.

I owned the car 3 days and the transmission light came on. Claimed the transmission module was replaced. Two hours after getting the car back it would not start, engine light came on. See photo it would appear the obd2 wires have been tampered with in an effort to disable the light continuing to come on. (picture attached) the car is back in the shop. It has been 2 weeks since purchase I have had the car in my possession for a total of 3 days. The used car place where it was purchased will not take the car back. There is a 90 day warranty that will run out. The car is over the 100K mile warranty for the dealership to fix.

The transmission has been slipping badly but warranty is only 100K miles and car has 105K so Ford dealer says I have to pay repairs. This is a know issue. Dashboard display is damage and shows no information - millage - and can not pass emission testing since can not determine millage. Dealer want $800. Vehicle just shut-off in middle of driving - very scary - disconnect and connect battery and worked but scary and dangerous. All these three issues -transmission, display & shutting off- should be a recall because car can not be use.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford Focus. While driving various speeds, the gear slipped into neutral. The vehicle shuttered extensively and was extremely difficult to drive. Mankato Ford (1935 madison ave, mankato, mn 56001, (507) 387-3454) diagnosed and replaced the clutch assembly, but the failure recurred. The dealer was aware that there was a warranty campaign for the vehicle and took an extended period of time to provide the clutch assembly. When the failure recurred, the manufacturer took a long time to provide the part for the power train control module replacement. The warranty campaign had since expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was initially serviced for the manufacturer's power train recall campaign number: 16S30, which also failed to provide a permanent remedy. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was not available.

My current problem is after fueling up my car it starts and then stalls, then the next restart it turns over about 5 to 10 seconds and starts and then has a erratic idle and it may stall again, or if I manage to take off it will run ok, unless I have to stop within a 100 yards, and it then may stall again, or have a erratic idle around 2000 rpms, then idles down to the 750 area if I'm lucky, only after fueling up. Every start afterwards starts and runs fine until the next gas up. I have an engine code I believe they said was a evap code, my fuel tank is starting to concave on the bottom. I talked to my dealership and they said I'm not part of the recall, although he said I fit all the parameters of the recall, but my VIN number its in the system. I'm looking for help and hope someone can contact Ford ! ps this is on going and very dangerous! thank you, very disappointed in Ford. Ps ps the transmission is another forty pages of info if you ever have the time to talk.

Transmission has never worked correctly, brought into Ford to have recall of part of transmission repaired. Never shifted correctly into next gear, sometimes jerked and sputtered and makes grinding noise and was told that it was because engine was 4 cylinder. Early in 2018, electrical system shut down. Dash lights of defrost, door lock no longer worked. Trunk stopped opening, radio stopped working and all that was heard was loud static sporadically with or without radio being on, and dome lights no longer worked either. Brought into Ford dealer and was told car needed new clutch (due to transmission never working correctly) and was no longer covered under warranty. Was told the electrical system failures were due to battery, which was replaced outside of dealer with no fix to problems at all. Was told need to replace radio which was no longer any good, car less than 5 years old at this time and that the trunk latch needed to be replaced. Was told none of the issues on the car were covered under warranty. Also received information in 2016 for class action law suit regarding my vehicle due to transmission issues.
