I was driving along the highway 80 in the left hand lane, ready to pass a semi truck when the car lost all power from the engine a light came on and it read engine default service now ok, as all power was shut down. I was then forced to go to the emergency lane. I was almost ran over by two semi trucks coming from the right side of highway 80. I had it serviced at phil long Ford chappel hills in Colorado springs and they wanted $4500 to fix it.

On my way home, the car began to make a clickety clackety noise. It sounded like a belt was out of alignment. I pulled into the driveway and popped the hood. I watched the bottom gear wheel break off the engine. The engine immediately stopped. Had I been on the road, it could have been tragic. In the attached photo, you can see the metal ripped clean off at all three locations.

My Ford Focus had two separate mechanics look at it before purchasing pess than one year ago. Passed all inspections car was fine and then all of a sudden wouldnt start at all. Altenator and battery checked. To start car, I had to take extension cord from house to car to use a battery charger. I could drive it from place to place but could not turn car off bc it not starting again. I drove like this for two months. No warning lights, no weird sounds. I tried replacing battery and problem continued. Replaced battery. Was driving and in the middle of an intersection, car wouldnt go. Almost was hit. Cars had to swerve to miss me. Was in an accident when car wouldnt accelerate quickly at.light. Hit from behind and passenger had to be taken by ambulance. Received two recall letters in the mail. One regarding emissions and one regarding the clutch. When I tried to back car out of lot, wouldnt go in reverse. Then the trans light came on with the check engine light. We pushed it out of spot an it drove until I tried to accelerate, car wouldnt go. Car had all tuneups, oil changes, all maintenance routinely done. When speaking with university Ford on a recorded convo, told me the recall effected my car & that they installed a new trans module but the trans itself had to be replaced. Qupted 7,000$. warranty according to Ford is for clutch problem. Then why replace trans module? told me to call customer service. Told me to make claim &get a trans extended coverage claim. I've called but haven't heard back. Now ihave car at dealership dont have 7,000$ or $ to even tow it away from there. I'm on disability and having severe medical problems & A7 yr old with special needs eoth limited resources. For a company that stands american values, they fall short. Very angry. (should've bought a Chevy)

Everytime I pump gas in my car and I turn it back on, it wants to die immediately. One time it took about 5 tries before it actually worked. I had just gotten the recall done for the fuel tank where it was reprogrammed so it can detect an issue with the canister purge valve. And now my engine hesitates to start.

This car is stalling stalling constantly. It just gets worse as time goes by. Once it gets going at a good speed its fine. Yet when U take off or pull out in traffic it stalls and is extremely dangerous. I've had it looked at by 2 mechanics and they say its a problem with those model cars and there are recalls on some.. I would like to know if its recalled on this car because I am very afraid of getting killed because of the stalling.. please help before this happens

My transmission stopped engaging as I was turning into my parking space at home after a 150-mile trip.I was in motion. The engine raced. I let off the gas pedal. I turned off the engine, thinking it might be a software glitch. When I tried to restart the engine, nothing happened. I had to push the car into the space with the transmission in neutral.

Have been experiencing major jerking and stuttering when car change from 1st to 2nd gear. Really have to press on gas for it to accelerate. Very dangerous for when trying to merge lanes on freeway. It has shut off twice on different occasions and would not restart. Check engine light just turned on at 89,000 miles. Extremely uncomfortable with driving it due to these problems. There were occasions where I could not accelerate and cars were close to crashing into me.

- El Cajon, CA, USA

The car has been stalling, jerking, jumping and skipping every time I accelerate. I have taken the car to the dealers more than 4 or 5 times since I bought it in 2014! they told me those cars will do that. Wrong! I have all the paperwork of how many times I have taking it for the same thing. The car continues to shudders at slow speeds, and jerks into gear. When backing up on incline street/driveway, rolls back. When accelerating in a highway is dangerous as the car does not respond and making it a safety hazard when shifting lanes, entering on intersections or highway. The problem continues after taking if to the dealer many times.

After 2 visit to Ford they stated that I needed to wait for a letter in order for them to replace parts they have. The car is running lean bank 1. when fueling, it stalls. It has stalled while drive on a few occasions. The fuel itself, goes quick, now that the problem has persisted. Getting under the car, fuel tank looks deformed as well and the code I get in the car is P0171. It's been close to year since it's started and I still has not received a letter.

Car stalls at will, gas gauge & miles to empty always wrong, low fuel indicator light never comes on and has huge problem w/ acceleration. It often shakes violently when I hit gas pedal, also takes forever to get up to speed. If it's not shaking violently then it just stalls, literally dies, will not restart. Forget fuel gauge. Not only is it always wrong, it changes at will. I go up or down a hill, gauge & miles to empty changes. Low fuel indicator never lights up so who knows how much gas I have. Last two times it stalled on highway at 65mph. Engine just cut out, died & would not restart. Has been to dealership 3 times in 3 weeks for same issues. First incident, kindle Ford in cape may court house, NJ had it 9 days over labor day holiday. Finally advised repairs eligible under recall however waiting for parts, specifically fuel tank, which according to fedex was in transit. 'lucky for me' he said, finally had loaner available. I'm walking to get loaner when suddenly tech yells over that my car is done! what? he just said tank was in transit! reluctantly took my car only to have it die again. Had it towed to kindle again and he said car started right up for him after he put gas in it. He implied I ran out of gas because gauge was pinned on empty. I had put gas in it that morning. Gauge indicates it was low but it was not pinned on empty (see photo). And if that was the case, warning light never came on (see photo). Now they are saying they can't fix it until they replicate problems for themselves. As if I was lying! car doesn't do it when they drive it so what do I do? I'm afraid to drive my own car but I have to go to work, etc. I just hope my son & I aren't killed when car unexpectedly stalls again while we are on the highway.

While accelerating either uphill or at speeds above 45 the car will begin to shake. I was told to fix my camber and toe bars to alleviate the shaking of the car, my struts, and to replace my tires. Neither of these solutions have helped this.
