FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on May 31, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i was driving and stuck in traffic. going slow, 5-10mph, the car started shifting really strange, not moving when initially accelerating and then jerking from first to second gear. my destination was 3 blocks ahead of me so i stayed on route and parked when i arrived. as i got back into the car it wouldn't start. i managed to get the car to start after "messing" with the auto shifter and leaving the car in nuetral. once started the car would not go into gear, or move when placed into d, r or l. i shut the car down and it would not start again after that. the transmission control module (tcm) is what th edealer told me had failed. it took a solid 7 days to get my car back. the first couple of days were spent trying to figure out what went wrong. the car has always shifted strange and continues to shift strange to this day. the problem was fixed but i think it is just a matter of time before it fails again. *tt.Mileage was 1300 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 09, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STEERING . in my brand new 2012 ford focus while driving at speeds above 50mph it is incredibly hard to keep the car in it's lane without constant adjustment of the steering wheel. it feels like you're being buffeted by strong winds on both sides of the vehicle. i'm afraid to drive faster than 60mph due to the fact the vehicle acts like a snake going back and forth so much. i'm not alone in this, the online ford focus community "focusfanatics.com" has reported many cases of this occurring. the thread of complaints is here http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=261200 the solution appears to be having the entire power steering rack replaced. i'm worried a problem such as this could cause a severe accident if someone isn't expecting to fight with their steering wheel. i almost hit a car adjacent to me because of this. if he hadn't been paying attention things could have been bad. i realize you are very busy but i sincerely hope you take the time to review this issue and the thread i posted in order to prevent possible injury's or deaths in the future. it would be to the benefit of many if ford were to recall and fix affected models. *tr.Mileage was 700 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . this vehicle has some scary and sometimes dangerous transmission issues. it's not like a normal automatic with a torque converter, so some roughness is expected. but, this car often grinds gears, slips, grabs and lunges, and also rolls back on inclines. i have nearly been in several accidents when i have tried to accelerate into an intersection and the vehicle doesn't respond to the accelerator being depressed completely to the floor. it sometimes acts as if you are trying to start from a stop in 3rd or 4th gear. ford motors has continually said these problems are normal and the vehicle needs some break-in time. well, this vehicle now has over 6,000 miles. i don't think it's going to get better. if i get into an accident because of this, there are going to be some serious problems to handle with ford. i know i'm not alone in these problems. i have been on forums with many people having the same issues. *tr.Mileage was 180 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 11, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . we bought our focus earlier this year and immediatley noticed stumbling on acceleration and rough idling. the car feels like it's going to stall when it taking off from a stop or when making hard accelerations. we took the car to the dealer the first week of ownership to have this looked at, but ford told us it needed to break in and that there were no error codes when they ran a diagnositc. the probelm has never been fixed although the symptoms were confirmed by the shop foreman. the second time we took the car in as the shuddering was worse, the dealer had it for over 30 days and put 700 miles on the car to no avail. we have all the paperwork documenting their testing and the dates they have had the vehicle. a rep from ford came out to take a look at the car as well during this time, and once again told them this was normal and would go away. we now have about 2300 miles on the car and it is only getting worse. we have filed a claim through ford motor company for a buy back on the car due to safety concerns but we were denied as of today, and also told that the car does not qualify as a lemon in the state of california. they have set us up for another appointment to go back to the dealer and see what they can do. before filing any complaints, we did research to see if others were having a simialr issue. there are multiple forums of people having these same issues (the best site to visit is focusfanatics.com). upon reading about everyone elses troubles, no one seems to have gotten a resolution and we feel that this next appointment we have set is really a waste of time. seems that ford is sweeping the problem under the rug and has no solution for this issue. in conclusion, we do love the way the car looks, rides, and all the great amenities ford has put in it's vehicles but this is a definete safety issue that is not being addressed at all by ford motor company. *tr.Mileage was 200 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 06, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . at between 8000 - 9000 miles on the odometer, car started having transmission problems. when accelerating from a stop, car would reach approx. 8 mph and instead of shifting up to next gear, went into neutral for 3-5 seconds, then proceeded to upshift and take off at a lurch. the check engine light came on and when i stopped, the reverse gear was also like being in neutral. now it is several months later, the car has had the transmission replaced by ford ( has spent nearly 10 weeks at ford service). since the replacement transmission, the car doesn't "fall out of gear", but now when stopping and starting the car feels like it is going to stall out. this behavior is disconcerting given the history of "falling out of gear" when trying to accelerate and merge in to traffic. i feel this vehicle is a safety hazard. *tr.Mileage was 9000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 17, 2011.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with STEERING . inadequate clearance between steering wheel mounted controls for cruise control and sync and stalk mounted controls for signals and wipers result in fingers getting caught between wheel and stalks. during a test drive, this caused accidental flashing of bright lights and wiper activation. in a worst case scenario, this could prevent turning the steering wheel at a critical moment and cause a crash with injuries or fatalities. i believe this is a serious safety issue. please investigate this design problem and consider mandatory recall and redesign of all vehicles so equipped. *tr.Ford Focus 2012 problem was reported in ELIDA, OH.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . my ford focus sel 2012 has been experiencing shuddering feelings when accelerating from stop. it feels as if the transmission is about to stall and then it kicks back up and jolts my cars back and forth for several seconds before resuming normal speed after 10 mph. these several seconds are vital when you are dealing with fast traffic in california or anywhere else for that matter. this created a delay in the acceleration time, almost causing an accident with oncoming traffic. i have contact several ford officials about this and they keep saying that it is normal and that there is a break in period. why was i not made aware of this when i purchased the car? this is a serious safety hazard and ford is just excusing it until my warranty period is up. two of my friends bought the same car and is experiencing the same issue. this is not an isolated incident and i would like to see proper action from ford to address this issue professionally. *tr.Mileage was 300 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 09, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . on the drive home from the dealership, the day we purchased this car, we were stopping at a red light and it felt as though the road had some uneven surfaces. turns out that it was from the car, the transmission was shuttering as we came to a stop. i was concerned but we were late and could not go back to the dealer. well the car did it many times after that, sometimes on acceleration and other times while coming to a stop. it would not shift into first gear as i entered my driveway (it has a slight incline) and it would shutter all the way up. i took the car to the dealer and they ran an update from ford. this helped some, but it is still shifting funny and making a funny noise while shifting from first to second. it shifts way too soon and is generally in the wrong gear. if you need to accelerate to merge into traffic there is a huge delay. the car seems to wait way too long before going down into a gear that will allow this to not be unsafe! i took it back to the dealer for an unrelated repair was given a 2012 focus as a loaner, the loaner is perfect! it exhibits none of the problems my car does. this tells me this is not a normal issue. the car is still at the dealer, but i am sure the song and dance about my car is normal and my issues are normal are coming. i am not going to accept this explanation! i now know how this car should drive and mine is not driving normal. i researched this issue and there are many people dealing with this same problem.that means it is not just my car. i want ford to acknowledge that there is an issue and fix it. *tr.Mileage was 56 miles.

Ford Focus 2012 Power Train Automatic Transmission Review #10461106

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 25, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . this is a ongoing problem with my focus. when accelerating from a stop the focus's automatic dsg transmission (in d) will quickly shift to a higher gear in an effort to minimize fuel consumption. during a stopped turn at a intersection this leads to a unsafe condition where commanded acceleration takes several seconds to happen. the problem happens like this: the car accelerates at a stop sign or parking lot. the car accelerates to 10-15 miles per hour. the driver lets off the gas during the "turn" part. the transmission shifts to second or a higher gear. the driver then commands a large acceleration - say due to oncoming traffic - and nothing will happen for several seconds. this is because the dsg transmission needs to shift sequentially into first and this takes several seconds. also it appears that the powertrain is disconnected while this shifting takes place. when the transmission finally selects first the acceleration can be sudden and unexpected. this has happened to me several times and i believe it is a dangerous condition. it can be avoided by manually selecting first - then shifting to d when the turn is complete. *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 100 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 12, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . this is a ongoing problem with my focus. when accelerating from a stop the focus's automatic dsg transmission (in d) will quickly shift to a higher gear in an effort to minimize fuel consumption. during a stopped turn at a intersection this leads to a unsafe condition where commanded acceleration takes several seconds to happen. the problem happens like this: the car accelerates at a stop sign or parking lot. the car accelerates to 10-15 miles per hour. the driver lets off the gas during the "turn" part. the transmission shifts to second or a higher gear. the driver then commands a large acceleration - say due to oncoming traffic - and nothing will happen for several seconds. this is because the dsg transmission needs to shift sequentially into first and this takes several seconds. also it appears that the powertrain is disconnected while this shifting takes place. when the transmission finally selects first the acceleration can be sudden and unexpected. this has happened to me several times and i believe it is a dangerous condition. it can be avoided by manually selecting first - then shifting to d when the turn is complete. the car jerks,shutter.jumps, misshifts, rattles. the car has been back 3 times and reprogram 2 time tbs,abs.pcm. this car is junk and need be fixed. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 451 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 17, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with POWER TRAIN . purchased a new 2012 ford focus with automatic transmission in april, 2012. immediately experienced low speed transmission shifting problems and also discovered complete free roll backward, unending, until hitting level ground and/or hitting an object while rolling backwards on an incline, even while in gear. this is a serious safety and driver liability issue . dealership has re-programmed transmission on a technical service bulletin without success. dealership had me test drive another 2012 focus thinking it would not demonstrate the same safety problem...and to their surprise..the test drive vehicle they gave me also performed the same way on the free rollback while in gear. i believe the fundamental problem here is that ford has designed and manufactured in the 2012 focus line a standard/manual transmission (poorly shifted by software and dysfunctional on the free roll back issue) and is marketing it to all consumers as an automatic transmission. service department acknowledges that it truly is a standard/manual design. the window sticker and sales process misrepresents to the consumer that it is an automatic transmission. this may constitute consumer fraud on a national level leading to either class action litigation, total recall and/or individual cases of litigation. i am considering all of the above as the problem remains and has not been rectified. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 284 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 14, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES . in june 2012, my daughter was driving and her front passenger tire exploded. this was the 3rd set of new tires we had placed on this vehicle (by 30,000 miles - averaging 10,000 miles per set of tires). then in july 2012, she was driving home and started to skid. she was not able to recover from the skid and hit a tree head-on. the front of her car was destroyed. the tree centered her car and the front end looked like a volkswagen bug. the air bags did not deploy. we had this vehicle into the dealership 3 times for problems with the front end. each time they said they could not find anything wrong with it. however, the driver and passengers could feel the car sway when riding it in. the vehicle was totaled by the insurance company ($17,000 check sent to ford) and we still owe $1700 that we have agreed to pay to ford to keep from ruining our credit. thank god she was wearing a seat belt that actually worked - otherwise we would have had to plan our daughters funeral. we purchased this car because it was advertised as being a very safe car with the interior wrapped in air bags. wrapping the interior with air bags does not help if they do not work. i have been buying ford automobiles for 30 years but, right now i am wondering how safe my ford f-150 is. we are now considering hiring an attorney. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 31000 miles.

Ford Focus 2012 Fuel/propulsion System

Ford Focus 2012 Fuel/propulsion System Review #10476527

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Sept 19, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . the problem started about 2 months after the purchase of my car. with the low fuel light on i filled my gas tank until the handle/nozzle of the gas pump clicked off indicating the tank was full. when i removed the nozzle from the fill tube you can hear a rush of gas come up and then a splash as the gas hits the ground. it ejects the gas underneath the car alongside the right rear tire leaving an 8" wet spot. my concern is you have hot brakes and a hot muffler right there next to where the fuel is dumping on the ground. in my honest opinion this is a major fire hazard. i now will not fill up my tank with anyone in the car. i have brought it to the dealers attention on several occasions and they say they have found nothing wrong. it has happened to me three times. two times before the dealer investigated it and found nothing wrong and one time after. i spoke with the dealers finance manager who owns/leases a ford fusion and he stated it had happened to him on his car as well. ford has a new fuel filler system that does not use a cap anymore. it would appear that this system may be faulty by design. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 3600 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 23, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i purchased my 2012 ford focus in may of 2011 - a fairly early build of the remodeled vehicle. at around 20k miles, the car started exhibiting some unusual noises. the dealer told me they were "normal characteristics" of the transmission. since then, several other focus owners (focusfanatics.com) have had the same issues. my car now makes a grinding noise when shifting into reverse, 2nd, 4th, and occasionally 6th gear. when climbing hills, the car appears to have little-to-no power and makes a horrid rattling noise that i am now aware is the clutch slipping. while in bumper-to-bumper traffic, the car bucks and jerks. the car has an "automatic" dual-clutch transmission, so there is no way that i can change the shifting patterns. it turns out this is a common issue caused by a leaking seal contaminating the clutch with oil, but consumers are needing to fight the dealers to get it fixed as it is a costly repair. i've tried repeatedly to get it corrected under warranty and keep getting turned away. aside from the fear of my own safety, i also assume this will be detrimental to the life of other components (actuators/synchros/engine mounts/etc.) within the power train that i may need to pay to replace out-of-pocket after the warranty expires. aside from repairing it myself, a recall is my only hope. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21085 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Dec 21, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . this is an ongoing issue with the automatic dual clutch transmission. like most everybody else, i am experiencing the same hesitation and shuddering from a stop and the same "clunking" sounds in the transmission. i have had the vehicle into my local ford dealer, woody anderson ford, for a diagnostic check and like everybody else, they said that is a normal driving characteristic of the new-style transmission. while i initially accepted that response, i have become increasingly unconvinced of their assessment as while trying to merge onto the parkway, the vehicle failed to respond to a downshift and lost all forward gears. in traffic, the car would not accelerate and when i moved the gearshift lever into the manual position, it would not engage in any gear i selected. i was able to safely steer off to the hard shoulder, place the car in park and then back in drive and it was able to accelerate again...with a shudder in first gear, of course. it appears that ford does not have a realistic fix for this vehicle (unless the costly seal leak is the actual culprit) and therefore, i have not brought it back to ford for another check even though i did schedule an appointment but was unable to make it. there appears to be a real problem here with this transmission and moreso, the lack of confidence that it's drivers/owners have in it. it is a problem that is not being addressed with action. like many others, i am concerned about the safety of this transmission. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 28000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 16, 2009.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . have a 2012 focus se. purchased in may of 2010. since july of 2010, i have been taking it to the local dealership where i purchased the vehicle complaining that the car was surging, shuddering, and when i hit the gas pedal, it feels like the car stalls, gets no gas, or has trouble getting into gear. of course, there are no known issues until a recall. finally, the problem can be addressed. i take it in, they "fix it" it still shudders, and feels like it's going to stall out in the intersection. next thing, my car overheats and dies at 11pm on the side of the interstate. i take to a different dealership and they say, well the clutch is bad and the cooling system is bad. great 2012 car and two items have already went out. they change the clutch and cooling system, now when i back up, it grinds and bogs down. i have had my car for 2 years in may, 39,000 miles on it, and it's been in the shop a total of 4 times. they have changed the clutch and the cooling system. was told the clutch needed "several hundred miles to break in" gave it about 500, still grinds when i back up, more so on an incline. although now, it's decided it wants to stutter when it starts. so it's back in the shop for the 4th time, and i'm yet again in a rental car. i have a customer service guy through ford, he's useless... i can't even get him to return a phone call. what is the point of him being there if he's not going to do his job. i don't feel that i'm getting any resolutions from the local dealerships i have dealt with, or from your customer care manager. i want a replacement vehicle. i have worked with ford over 2 years and the vehicle is still having problems. of course the dealership tells me this is an isolated issue. please go to edmunds,com and you will see that this is not an isolated issue... there are multiple reports of the same problems that i am having. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 6000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 08, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i noticed the transmission wasn't shifting correctly and it was hesitating. this happened often and finally i was stuck in the middle of an intersection twice on the same day and the car would not shift into second gear and began shaking and making a knocking noise. this could have caused a huge accident. i don't understand why ford has not done a recall on this car. i was told my transmission has extensive damage and the part that needs to be replaced was on backorder and could take a few months. i was also informed that i am number 1900 on the waiting list for this part in my region. i asked if i could trade my car in for another model of car at the same cost and they said they would only pay me $14,000 for my focus. so basically my car depreciated $10,000 in 4 months and ford will not do what is right and replace the car for me and take the loss. i'm extremely disgusted that ford was even selling these cars when they knew there was a problem with the transmission and even more so that they will not fix the problem. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 9500 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 13, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . just purchased a 2012 focus, loving the car until.....three weeks into ownership while driving home from work, i noticed the gas gauge seemed to be erratic....showing 1/2 tank, fluctuating to full, to 1/4, back up to 3/4, down to 1/2 tank and then without any low fuel warning audible or visual warning .... all instrument panel lights come on, car loses power, stalls, i try to start car, it will not start. i begin to coast out of lane and onto the shoulder, again trying to start car and it will not start. i call for roadside assistance and find that i have run out of fuel. how could this be? i am provided with a gallon of gas, car starts up immediately, i go to nearest gas station to fill up. gauge reads full, i've driven 100 plus miles without any movement of the gauge i start to suspect the gauge may be faulty. i google this issue and find i am not the first who has experienced this problem. reading the fordfanatic posts it seems as if dealers make several attempts to resolve issue which leads to several different repairs/replacements before resolution. this is frustrating to the consumer! appears to me, a recall would restore faith in ford and ford service. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40886 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 30, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . we first noticed when we bought the car that it was jerky when accelerating, was told that is the way the car drives. went on a road trip and trying to accelerate to expressway wouldn't go just revved then jerked out into traffic, we almost got killed and had to go to the shoulder to avoid accident. this happened multiple times and was very unsafe. we got to the point we were afraid to drive it, cause we didn't know when it would just rev and jerk or if it would actually work properly. it didn't matter if you just started and tried backing out or were on the road, the problem was constant. that is very dangerous on the road and you don't know when it will happen. took to dealer on july 6th and my car has been there since, it is now 6 weeks and they are replacing transmission clutches, there is a backorder of over 8,000 clutches, which means that many people have taken their car in and there is no recall for this car and we have no idea if the car will be repaired. the manufacturer of these parts does not have any in the warehouse and ford is estimating sept 7th which we doubt. this car is very unsafe cause you do not know when the transmission is going to shift. . i think there should be a recall. as of right now we have filed complaints and no longer want the car back. reading blogs we have discovered that there are still problems with the transmission on the 2012 focus after repairs. if you have this problem, file a complaint and maybe there will be a recall. they will not give you a rental unless you have an extended warranty which we luckily do, otherwise we would have been paying for a rental for who knows how long. ford sold these cars knowing that this was a problem because it was revised for the 2013. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 14000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 24, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . since we purchased the vehicle, it seemed to stutter when trying to go from a stop. i was told that this is normal for this transmission. but on august 24th, the transmission started to have even more problems. first the vehicle was having a hard time accelerating past 20 mph. then it started jerking back and forth, lunging to and fro. it was not shifting gears like it should have, and it felt like it was going to stall, so complainant had to pull over to avoid an accident and allow fast moving traffic to pass. after traffic had passed, complainant turned around to go back home, jerking and lunging the whole time going less than 20 mph. after leaving the car sit for several hours, the vehicle started up again, and seemed to be operating normally. however now the vehicle is having a harder time going up hills, and has trouble coasting. feels like something is dragging it down. this could be very unsafe, as the problem is not predictable, and could potentially cause an accident. a 2012 vehicle with 39000 miles should not be having transmission problems already. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 39000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 29, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . we bought our car with only 7 miles on it. shortly after the car started rolling backwards when sitting on a hill or stop light. called the dealership and they stated to bring it in. well it was explained to us that the car had a standard transmission and that this was normal. so we left. then i was sitting in the driveway and our grandchild got out of the car when i put the car into park and it rolled backwards knocking him over. called them again, got the same answer. then the car started to stay running after the key was taken out. also it was not running well . this was just 2 months later. took it back got the same answer. well called the owner with no response. we have since then taken the car back for the same issue and still get the same answers. now there is a new problem, always finding oil on the motor. so took it back in and they explained to me that someone was driving the car with two feet. that's why the transmission was still skipping. well i am the only driver of the car and i only use my right foot. they said they put a die into the oil to see where the leak was coming from and when i went another 1000 miles to bring the car back. then i get a call from them and had an appointment. they put new bolts in our valve cover and cleaned all the oil up. here it is we have had the car over a year and still are having such trouble with it. so i hope that hopefully soon that this dealership makes good on this car. just went again this last month for the 12th time and still getting the same answer. but i do not have a standard car, i have an automatic. *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 500 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Sept 24, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . transmission sticks in high gear, will not downshift properly; car nearly stalled on interstate and almost caused two separate accidents. had to pull car over, turn off engine to reset the transmission's "ai" (as it was stated by a ford transmission specialist). despite numerous 'updates' by ford (3 now) problem persists, and has become progressively worse with each update. gears constantly stick, do not down-shift, or up-shift properly, and those were confirmed by a ford transmission specialist. this is especially true when using sport mode but happens in drive as well. ford ensures me that nothing is wrong. i am a professional engineer associated with the automotive industry, and i disagree. statute of limitations won't let me claim my brand new 2012 ford focus titanium as a lemon under the 'lemon law', but it should be. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 15000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the vehicle began shifting very poorly at only one and a half years since purchase. brought it to the dealer and explained the severe shaking and shuddering upon acceleration accompanied by a very loud metallic grinding sound. it was test driven and told immediately that it needed to be addressed. was told that they had to contact ford directly to get the fix for the error code. was told that they loaded the update for the trans. and that it was now driving appropriately. not even two weeks later it is back at the shop with even more severe shuddering and feeling loss of power (still has a metallic grinding noise). was told that the car needed 1k miles after the update so that the trans. could "relearn how i drive." i did not accept this so the advisor at my dealership produced a list of normal operations and began to explain the type of transmission the focus had. i told her that i was fully aware and accepting of the occasional hard shift or roll back on hill as was customary with a 'manual' transmission, but that this was much worse/different. received a phone call today that the technician test drove my car and that he "could not replicate the complaint" even though it happens 95% of the time when i drive it. i am not even sure that they have looked at my transmission or merely attached it to a computer/test driven it. will continue to bring the car to the dealership until this is resolved or the trans. is recalled. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 21000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 31, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i purchased this vehicle new in august of 2012. it had 10 miles on it. the day after i bought it i noticed some hesitation upon acceleration after stopping at traffic lights. it wasn't too bad, but as time went by it began to get worse. after a couple months, it stalled on me when i slowed and another time i was almost hit by another car as mine stalled again in a busy intersection. it was due an oil change so when i made the appointment, i also mentioned the stalling and hesitation. when i dropped it off, the technician claimed he could not duplicate the problem. of course he was not driving in the same condition i drive in everyday. i was advised to drive it until the next oil change as the 'computer' had to adjust to how i drive. needless to say, it did not adjust to how i drive. i drove it and the hesitation continued, it also began to choke out in reverse. when i returned for the next oil change, still complaining, i was told they would have to 'reteach' the computer. they kept it a couple days before i got it back. it ran so-so for about a week and began again. i filed a complaint on the ford motor company site (which is a joke) and was contacted by a district rep. arrangements were made to return the car for 'updates' and a 'relearn'. this time they kept it a week. when i got it back, i did not drive it much as i was off (teacher - off summers). when i returned to work in august, and started driving it every day, it was even worse then it was before. now it won't climb a hill (and i live in the mountains!), it shudders, rattles, loses powers going up hills and stalls in traffic.this time they kept it 2 weeks. i drove it one day and it started all over again. when i called back i was told i had to wait 2 weeks to drop it off (2 cars ahead of me with same problem) and they would look at it again. however, they have done all they can do. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 800 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . metalic grinding noise is heard when accelerating at slow speeds. transmission shifts at approximately 1500 rpm and between 10-25 mph, griding noise is heard for a few seconds, then stops. as car proceeds into next gear, if rpm drops to 1500 and speed again between 10-25 mph, grinding noise is heard. i have taken the car to seraphin ford in vernon, they claim to have driven the car without hearing the noise. a separate date, i took the car to seraphin ford, drove a mechanic in the car, but the noise was faint and mechanic could not hear it. sometimes the sound is faint, other times sound is loud. no rhyme or reason. i have read much on the internet about this exact issue with 2012-2013 focus power trains. i am convinced there is a problem that ford is not addressing. also, power train lags and flutters often. i have learned to drive very "gently" to prevent lag/shutter/surge when driving. i have noticed when using cruise control at highway speeds, if i attempt to adjust the speed using the steering wheel controls (to advance speed), the engine takes off, rpm climbs very high and the engine roars. i have to completely shut down cruise control and start over again. it can be scary at highway speeds to have the engine race like that..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 7000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 19, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . transmission shutters causing whole car to shake. acts as if the fly wheel is glazed over and clutch can not engage properly, this is turn caused a body vibration making a loud vibration noise. ford knows of this problem and has yet to have a recall to make a permanent fix. ford replaced a clutch pack in my car but the design is flawed - this will happen again and at my expense. ford agreed to extend my warranty mileage but not the time in which use said mileage. the original warranty was 60k or five yrs. now its 100k or five yrs, two of which are gone. increasing the mileage does nothing for me the warranty still expires at the same time. ford is well aware of this problem in the fiesta and focus models. i'm a professional mechanic for over 25 yrs. i've talked with several ford shops and they are very aware of this issue. i spoke with the owner of the dealership i bought the car from and he even stated that was the no.1 topic at a ford convention in vegas this yr. this is simply a poor design and ford wants the customer to pay for it. my car stared this problem around 13k and ford has been yanking me around for another 13k before putting in the replacement parts that are no doubt going to fail again. my gas mileage in town went from 33.5 to 24.5 and this was also acceptable to ford - not me. this needs to be fixed right away before a total transmission failure kills someone. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13335 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 19, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . transmission shutters causing whole car to shake. acts as if the fly wheel is glazed over and clutch can not engage properly, this is turn caused a body vibration making a loud vibration noise. ford knows of this problem and has yet to have a recall to make a permanent fix. ford replaced a clutch pack in my car but the design is flawed - this will happen again and at my expense. ford agreed to extend my warranty mileage but not the time in which use said mileage. the original warranty was 60k or five yrs. now its 100k or five yrs, two of which are gone. increasing the mileage does nothing for me the warranty still expires at the same time. ford is well aware of this problem in the fiesta and focus models. i'm a professional mechanic for over 25 yrs. i've talked with several ford shops and they are very aware of this issue. i spoke with the owner of the dealership i bought the car from and he even stated that was the no.1 topic at a ford convention in vegas this yr. this is simply a poor design and ford wants the customer to pay for it. my car stared this problem around 13k and ford has been yanking me around for another 13k before putting in the replacement parts that are no doubt going to fail again. my gas mileage in town went from 33.5 to 24.5 and this was also acceptable to ford - not me. this needs to be fixed right away before a total transmission failure kills someone. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13335 miles.

Ford Focus 2012 Power Train Review #10558273

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 12, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i was slowing down to pull into a freeway on ramp turn lane, and the car suddenly lurched. it kept doing this over the course of 3 months on and off when we would drive at slower speeds. we took it into the ford dealership, and they said it was a computer reprogramming issue. they reprogrammed the computer today, but i'm extremely doubtful that it's going to fix this based off of what other people have stated happened to them. they jerked around with us and told us that it was in warranty for the power train, but if it was anything else we would owe $110 for them to just look. we bought the car used in september 2013, and had problems with it starting in october 2013. it had 43,000 miles on it when we bought it, and has about 47,000 now. my last car was a 2004 hyundai elantra, and it had very few problems for the 9 years i had it. i only stopped driving it because of a semi-truck driver's illegal actions that totaled it. i regret wasting my money on this piece of junk. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45000 miles.

Ford Focus 2012 Seat Belts Review #10558276

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SEAT BELTS . the driver's side seat belt tongue wouldn't go into the buckle like normal. it took a lot of effort to shove it in, and have it actually click. then separating the parts of the buckle was also difficult. sometimes it's easier to get it to work, and other times it feels like i'm having a wrestling match. we took it to the ford dealership when we were having problems with the power train, and they told us it would cost $55 just to look at it. there is nothing jammed inside the buckle, but feels more like the inside hook isn't reacting correctly to the tongue. there is also a frayed edge to the seat belt buckle that makes it look really cheap. i'm pretty sure that with it being a safety feature that it shouldn't cost us anything, and they should be taking this seriously because it most likely is a defective part they issued. i guess they don't care about our safety over making a quick buck off of us. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 46000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 03, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . we took our car in yesterday because the engine kept lurching and stalling. they said it was the power train, and that it was a problem with the computer. the berge ford dealership reprogrammed the computer, and today when i got in the car the radio was on. i just unlocked it and opened the door, and the radio came on. the key was not in the car at all, and the only thing i did was unlock it with the remote and open the door. i did not have this problem prior to them "reprogramming" it to fix the power train/transmission problem. then when i started to drive it the engine seemed sluggish and it seemed to be lurching again, but not stopping for an instant like before. so i went from having transmission/power train problems, and a seat belt problem to having them both with a computer problem added in... i'm not a computer engineer, but when a piece of equipment has hardware problems it would make sense to replace or fix the hardware instead of reprogramming the software. i'll be taking it back in, and while the computer is out of warranty i think i should be able to get them to look at it and fix it without charging me because they caused the problem. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 37000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 28, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . my husband and i purchased our 2012 ford focus back in june 2012. when we got the car there was 28,000 miles on it. the next day it was in their shop due to the transmission. it felt like it was not trying to switch gears causing our rpms to go real high. the mechanics said nothings wrong because no lights were on. so months pass it was right back in for the same thing. well they said they put a fuel throttle box on it and it should fix the problem. so after they "fixed" the car , we still noticed something wasn't right, so we continued to drive the car. our engine light kept popping up so we took it to the car lot once again and they said it could possibly be an emissions problem. well just a few weeks ago, i noticed the car was acting real funny, it didn't want to go into drive, and kept stalling. so on my way home i got on the interstate, and the car lost all power (luckily i was on my exit ramp). it said transmission malfunction, so i pulled over, and turned the car off. when i got the car to start again when in drive it wanted to go in reverse. had to turn it off then restart but the car wouldn't even turn over. this is a big issue that ford needs to fix. if i wouldn't have been on my exit ramp i may not be here typing this right now. i refuse to drive this car. it is not safe !!! i have two small kids and they will not be back in that car !! we have had issues with this car every since we got it. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 28000 miles.

(not sure about the date of the incident when i rode in the car). it was within the last month. my daughter does not recall when it first started. this is her first car. it did, however, not perform like this for sure when we test drove the vehicle. thanks for your time. *js .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 9023 miles.

"is there any service bulletins that were sent to your technicians regarding the transmission/engine?" their response "this vehicle does not have any service bulletins...etc." they finally directed me to this website and i only hope the right people read my complaint to better resolve my issue. *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 03, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i bought the focus new a couple of years ago. at first it seemed to do well but for the past year, and more often recently, the transmission has been shuttering and i hear a grinding sound coming from underneath the car. i have noticed it only happens at lower speeds(below 15mph) when in 1st or 2nd gear. when you press on the gas from a stop it sometimes jerks you into movement or if you press the gas a bit harder it will shutter through 1st gear and jump into 2nd gear. i have found it to be a problem driving around town or when merging onto a freeway where some acceleration is needed to get to speed. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 14500 miles. Ford Focus 2012 problem was reported in NORTH BEND, WA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 10 mph.

Ford Focus 2012 Power Train Review #10588470

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the transmission in this vehicle hesitates and shutters. i have been told this is normal for this type of transmission. i don't believe it is normal, due to the fact that the problem is getting worse, as it did not do this for the first ten thousand miles. in my opinion it makes the car unsafe because of hesitation from a stopped position. also from a stopped position on a small incline the car will shake somewhat violently during take off. the shaking is bad enough to make me believe that it could be doing damage to other components to the drive train and components of any other systems. also who wants to spend twenty thousand dollars and up for a vehicle that accelerates and shifts no better than a car from the 80's. i have lost all faith in quality control. thank you. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . there have been many complaints on the ford focus lately that involve the transmission and i am included in those complaining. my automatic car either won't switch gears and sounds like i'm pressing the gas while in park then violently lunges forward or while driving at an average speed like 40 it's just stops completely in the road. it also will not accelerate quickly making it very dangerous to merge on to a freeway. living in los angeles this poses a huge threat to getting in several accidents. after 3 near and severely close but avoided accidents i called the dealership where i purchased my car and i was told there was a 3-5 week waiting list to have my car even looked at to prove that it was in fact the problem all other fords were encountering. after calling round to several dealers in a 30 mile radius i found one kind man who said he could look at within 3 days. after being diagnosed as the clutches needing to be replaced as they thought would be the issue, i was told it would take up to another 3-4 weeks til my car was actually repaired leaving me already out of pocket for a week for a rental car. the dealer suggest i open a case with ford to request a loaner car for the duration of my repair as it seems ridiculous that i be paying $ out of pocket for an issue that they caused with a faulty part. 4 days later and ford still has not decided whether my request is reasonable. everyday i'm spending money while my inoperable car sits at a dealership waiting to find out if i can afford to pay for the rental while my death trap of a vehicle wait s as ford decided i'm being "reasonable". i find this treatment of customers of a faulty product disgraceful. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 15000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 08, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i purchased a 2012 ford focus less than a year ago and have had trouble ever since. i have had my car in repaired once for the transmission issues accelerating and coasting. my car is shaking and hesitating with any type of acceleration. the car is making a clunking noise when driving, turning corners and braking. i am beyond disappointed with the quality of the 2012 focus. i dropped my car off at the dealer and wanted it looked asap. i also contacted ford directly about my concerns, they informed me about the dual clutch transmission as a reason for the drive (an excuse i have heard numerous times from the dealer). after a couple days the service department called to let me know they had looked it over and everything seemed fine. they later test drove it and he informed me that everything looks great and that the way my car is driving is just the way these focus' drive due to the double clutch transmission. he informed me that it tends to drive the way i was describing if people have a "light foot", if i would drive with a "heavier foot" or "accelerate faster" it most likely wouldn't have these issues. when i brought up the instance where the car shook and made a large clunk when i turned it off, he stated that it was probably a "fluke". it is very discouraging that i am told that this is just how the focus vehicles are going to be. i emailed ford about the results and have not heard back. i picked up my car and it still drives jerky and the clunking noise is even louder. i dropped it off with 40,618 miles and picked it up with 40,630 miles. i think it is frustrating that it is deemed as a standard drive with a 12 mile trip. i am disappointed that i am expected to hit the gas harder to hopefully have a somewhat less jerky drive... not sure how to do that in parking lots and neighborhoods. i do not feel that i have a safe quality vehicle and don't know what to do next. *js.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP3M20CL.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on May 12, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE . driving on highway in fast lane at 60 mph, pressed foot on accelerator and engine revved but did not increase speed. in fact, slowed down. i was able to put hazard lights on and get to right shoulder (coasting, no acceleration power at all). engine never died. towed to dealer.(we had extended warranty). they had it 4 days could not find anything wrong with it. since no problem found we had to pay for our rental and their diagnostic fees. after returning car to us, same thing 2 days later. barely avoided being rear-ended in intersection this time. after this 2nd incident, engine light stayed on. 2nd trip to dealer, since engine light was on, they were able to adjust something in computer. car did ok next 10 days. then started doing the 'revving accelerator' but no increase in speed again--twice almost causing accidents. today, 5th episode in 5th week, car hesitated, all dash lights came on, very loud 'boom' or 'thud' in engine. was able to coast to shoulder. this car is dangerous and an accident waiting to happen. ford does not want to do anything unless they have a light they can fix via what a computer tells them. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 17, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the vehicle transmission shudders, hesitates, and lurches when starting out or accelerating. it can temporarily strand the driver in front of oncoming traffic or unexpectedly lunge the vehicle ahead from a stop and i am concerned over the potential for causing an accident. it is obvious to all passengers and all drivers every time the car is driven. it has been present since initial brand-new delivery of the vehicle and seems to be getting worse (i am now over 20,000 miles). online research reveals this is a widespread known issue with this vehicle. i called the dealer, described the symptoms, and asked for a service appointment. he stated this is a known issue, is expected in this unique type of transmission, and i need to accept it. he did not feel i needed to bring the car in for a service evaluation but i persisted and brought it in. when i arrived i was given a printed handout regarding this vehicle transmission that again suggested this behavior was expected and "normal" and implied that i needed to accept it. instead of the usual service evaluation, he had me drive the car with a dealer representative who acknowledged the symptoms, that this is a known, widespread issue and that it is expected behavior with this unique transmission. i was sent home without further evaluation and it was implied that i should not bring back the car for this issue. i feel this is a safety issue. i have driven many hundreds of thousands of miles over many decades and have never, ever experienced such unusual performance in a transmission and i am genuinely worried that my teenage daughter will be put in a dangerous position due to the "expected" behavior of this transmission. i am asking for a formal review and replacement with a unit that performs on par with industry standards. i feel ford will not entertain further discussion and appeal to nhtsa. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 30, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . about 1 month after purchase i began to experience transmission sluggishness, slow acceleration due to gear slipping, and sudden acceleration. not always, but more often than not. i chalked it up to the nature of the dtc as the dealer insisted that is how the trans works. after several more months i received a recall notice for trans problems. had trans reprogrammed. after about 3 months, all problems returned along with a grinding sound when in lower gears. took to dealer for regular 7500 mile check and spoke at length with technician. he has same car and stated that my clutch plates would need to be replaced along with some other hardware. unfortunately, trans tech was booked for the following week and a half. made appt at other dealer and after they checked the car, stated that all i needed was to have the trans reprogrammed, going so far as to tell me that the new programming would "learn" my driving style and adjust after a two week period. car seemed ok for a few months, and then all problems returned again. i took my car in for regular esp service this evening and asked for the trans to be looked at again. tech told me that they were booked for over 2 weeks for trans work, and 80% of that work is on the focus and fiesta models. tech also shared that as of 3/1/14, ford instructed all dealers to stop replacing the clutch plates and simply reprogram the trans. tech stated that this is due to the high cost of replacing the clutch plates; anywhere from $1800 - $2100. he also stated that internally, ford corporate has acknowledged that this trans is a failure. in order to get new clutch plates, tech stated that i needed to have trans reprogrammed and then drive for 2 weeks. then return to dealer for analysis. tech stated that ford will only replace clutch plate if slipping occurs at over 2100 rpm. fearful for safety as trans problems can occur at any time! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 23, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the transmission is off. i have taken it 4 times to 2 different dealers, both did repairs the first time in, when i brought the car back with same issues both dealerships said there was nothing wrong with my car. the car shudders, stalls, the brakes grind and sometimes have to be shoved to the floor to work even going at a slow speed. the car stalls up hill at times and grinds as you accelerates. i know im not the only one with an issue with a 2012 focus. something needs to be done, someone needs to go above the dealerships head and force them to fix the issue. my car is under factory warranty still only has 22k mileage but they refuse to do anything after one time, though the problem is still there. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 600 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 27, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i started experiencing transmission problems with my focus after what would normally be considered the end of the break in period, which was around 8,000 miles. the car would stall, shudder, and shake during acceleration from a stop, at low speed driving, and got notably worse the longer i drove especially on hot/humid days. i followed the maintenance schedule as outlined in the owner's manual and each time i brought my car in for maintenance i discussed my concerns about the transmission with service personnel and received the "corporate" answer each time "your transmission is operating within specifications", there's nothing we can do at this time. on 27 june 2014 as i was approaching the main gate of the base i work on, my car came to an abrupt halt and displayed the alert "parking assist malfunction maintenance required". the hazard lights became inoperable, gear shift indicator would not shift to park, and the transmission ceased to function. i was extremely fortunate that this did not happen while i was driving down the interstate at 65 mph 5 min earlier, because i firmly believe that i would have lost control of the car and either killed myself or someone else. the following parts were replaced in order to return my car to full operation: - pcm transmission control module - clutch assembly and leaking seals - reprogrammed transmission iaw latest tech bulletin this is a common theme among all focus owners at the moment who've purchased vehicles since 2012. it's obvious to the public that the focus transmissions have design flaws and ford needs to come up with a solution and replace the transmissions of these vehicles. for the safety of the public i urge you to mandate a recall on the transmissions in all affected ford models before ford makes the same mistakes gm has and people are serioiusly injured or killed, it's just a matter of time. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 27160 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 05, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i purchased my first 2012 ford focus in 2011. i experienced shifting issues on several different occasions. i had to take it back to the dealership several times to get looked at because each time i had taken it, the dealer insisted that it was driving correctly and that it was due to the new type of transmission except each time they would "reprogram" the transmission and send me on my way. i wouldn't be 10 minutes down the street and it would start acting up again. last year i went back to the dealer after my 3rd "reprogram" and told them that i wanted a different vehicle. after fighting with ford and the dealership i ended up eating the negative equity from my first focus and rolling it into a second 2012 focus. i was assured by the dealership that the transmission problem was only due to a first production model and that the one i was purchasing wouldn't be the same... lies. i have now had it in the dealership twice for the seal leaking on the transmission and the clutches slipping. i have contacted ford as i want out of this vehicle and the district rep. is not returning my calls. i have also experienced the car turning off at 65 miles an hour on the highway and had to have it towed to the dealership. thankfully i managed to navigate through highway traffic to the breakdown lane. the dealer told me that it was a faulty sensor that was damaged after repair of my transmission the first time, but after reading these complaints, it sounds like its just another flaw of this vehicle. i cannot believe how ford is handling this problem. what is it going to take before they fix the problem or buy back the vehicles that are having problems? i am now upside down in two of these death traps and don't see a resolution. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 13000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 17, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . ford motor company admittedly engineered a defective "automatic clutch transmission" and put it to market. i, as a consumer, was sold a car that was labeled/ticketed with an "automatic transmission". i was adamant about the style of transmission as i commute with 40% of driving within city limits. i did not know, nor was it disclosed that, the design of the transmission was a hybrid computerized clutch. a clutch assembly pack was replaced at 17,265 miles which reduced the symptoms of the defect for a very short period of time. after several attempts to "fix" the car, the dealer i bought the car from told me to sue ford. i took it to another dealer and they simply repeated what all others are saying "it operates according to design". at this time, the car is operating at its worse since i took possession. like most other complaints, there is grinding, jolting, severe shuddering, rapid acceleration from hesitation, and near powerlessness when ascending. this past month, there have been a few near misses from hesitation through intersections. greg burgess, managing engineer of this transmission (new york times article july 15 2011 and oct 26 2011) as well as his superiors, should be held accountable for compromising the safety and livelihood of focus customers. the mental anguish and time spent to solve the problem with ford has been a very serious personal ailment. it's only a matter of time before someone is seriously hurt or killed, if not already. i have a car that ford will not repair or replace and yet they demand a monthly payment. i can't sell the car in it's condition and a trade-in is additional financial loss and burden. this week it was announced that ford's ceo, mark fields, received a 7% salary increase, 1.75m annual with 200% performance bonus. ford is not unlike gm. the government needs to intervene now and get these cars off the road. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 17265 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 09, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . the ac compressor in my 2012 ford focus blew up today. the service department told me it had been coming apart for a while and it has now destroyed the entire ac system. i was also informed that this problem is not isolated to my ac. even if i wanted to drive sans ac, then this issue would soon render my car inoperable. i was told it would cause the engine to seize. i can't imagine how bad this would have been on the freeway. unfortunately there were no signs or symptoms indicating this pending disaster (a/c functioning & no weird noises). my ford has had all recommended services and any additional preventative services related to the ac compressor were never brought to my attention. this is most likely because a problem of this nature shouldn't be an issue with a well maintained car that is only two years old; however, possibly the service department should have picked up on it. this was not due to normal wear and tear. this was a faulty part. i believe this is a quality and saftey issue and really hope that ford can remedy the situation. especially as this has possibly effected many people. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 63000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 15, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . when pulling out onto a rural highway from a stop sign, my car hesitated between 2-3 seconds after moving partway into the intersection. the feel was distinctly like clutch slippage, and the car refused to move forward despite me applying additional pressure on the accelerator. after almost 2 seconds of very slowly (2-3 mph) crawling into the intersection the transmission engaged abruptly and i resumed moving into my lane. i frequently experience this particular problem, despite two dealers over 4 trips attempting to repair it, and have a good feel for how to modulate the throttle to work through the stall. however, this time it nearly resulted in me being t-boned on the driver's side door by an 18-wheeler travelling 55 mph. fortunately the truck was able to bypass me in his left lane. i will be taking it back to a local dealer for my fifth trip, this time hopefully to receive clutch revision "f" and transmission shaft seal "d". why the cars built with the dps6 transmission haven't yet been recalled is a mystery to me. i can only guess that (hopefully) no one has died when faced with a circumstance similar to mine..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 32000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 02, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . while driving my ford focus 2012, the engine would shutter inbetween shifts. this resulted in delays in the shift and then sometimes in surges in power, back and forth. there was also often a grinding or clicking noise coming from the undercarriage during the shift. i finally got ford to fix this problem after taking it into the shop for service three different times and making numerous phone calls. in the interem, i beleive my life was in danger do to the unpredictible malfunctioning of this vehicle. there were several times when i was trying to get through an intersection or get on the highway when the delay/shutter/surge of the vehicle could have caused me to have an accident, as i could not predict when the incidents were going to occur, or exactly to what degree. i beleive ford's repeated refusal to remedy this issue put my life in danger. the fix ended up being a replacement of the clutch. however, i was advised by the technician that this would only be a short term fix and that eventually the problem would return (no doubt next time only after my warranty has expired and i will not be able to afford the repair). please help resolve this problem before some is seriously injured by ford's refusal to take responsibility for their dangerous and defective product..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 33000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 02, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE . while driving my ford focus 2012, the engine would shutter inbetween shifts. this resulted in delays in the shift and then sometimes in surges in power, back and forth. there was also often a grinding or clicking noise coming from the undercarriage during the shift. i finally got ford to fix this problem after taking it into the shop for service three different times and making numerous phone calls. in the interem, i beleive my life was in danger do to the unpredictible malfunctioning of this vehicle. there were several times when i was trying to get through an intersection or get on the highway when the delay/shutter/surge of the vehicle could have caused me to have an accident, as i could not predict when the incidents were going to occur, or exactly to what degree. i beleive ford's repeated refusal to remedy this issue put my life in danger. the fix ended up being a replacement of the clutch. however, i was advised by the technician that this would only be a short term fix and that eventually the problem would return (no doubt next time only after my warranty has expired and i will not be able to afford the repair). please help resolve this problem before some is seriously injured by ford's refusal to take responsibility for their dangerous and defective product..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 33000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on July 18, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . transmission has been jerky, shaky, jumps into gear. this has happened periodically since i have gotten the car and has gotten progressively worse. most recently, whenever it shifts around 20 mph there is a terrible grinding noise along with a shudder. brought my vehicle into hudson ford in hudson, wi on august 15, 2014. dealer stated there was a transmission leak and seals were defective. they replaced seals. i asked if there was any damage to the transmission and they said no. on monday august 18, 2014 i called the dealer back to let them know the grinding noise was still present, not all of the time shifting but it is still occurring. dealer said to "give it a thousand miles and call back if it still happens because new parts need to lubricate and beak in." i am not sure how true this is because there are metal parts grinding, not the seals replaced" i find it hard to believe there isn't more wrong with this car with grinding metal noises present. this is a danger to myself and others should the transmission fail on the highway or it jumps into/out of gear and a hit a car. there are so many complaints like mine. ford needs to provide total transmission replacement or buy these cars back. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 36000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 30, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i cannot give exact dates and mileage because this problem has been form the get go and gotten progressively worse recently. the car used to simply struggle to go form a stop or low speed. we had the transmission reprogrammed but that did not help. it continues to act in that manner but now has gotten dangerous to drive. we bought the car new and it is driven from georgetown, ky to cincinnati 5 days a week for work. it now has roughly 105,000 miles on it, though that may be just a little high. the car is now losing power, not shutting down but losing power. it is happening at slow speed and at highway speed. my wife has reported it has nearly caused her to have an accident on more than one occasion. we have spent over $1100 trying to fix it based on what the dealership is telling the "codes" say is wrong but the problem persists. i am afraid this car will cause an accident and hurt someone or worse it we continue to drive it. we cannot afford to put any more money into it, trade it in, or stop using it. i have seen countless complaints about this vehicle and i have to wonder why there has not been a mandatory recall to replace the transmission, not just reprogram it since that doesn't work. please put ford on notice that this issue must be corrected and all outstanding vehicles that have reported this problem must be fixed before the cars kill someone. thank you..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Feb 15, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . ongoing issue with the transmission, even after 3 "fixes" at a ford service center. transmission hesitates, jerks, and shudders in gears 1 through 3 primarily, sometimes hard enough to spill a drink. slow speeds and stop and go speeds result in horrible driving conditions as the jerks/shudders get worse. it feels unsafe to drive the vehicle. for example, i'll be preparing for a left turn across traffic (with more than enough time to take this turn), and the hesitation will be so bad that it's unclear if i'll make the left or get hit by oncoming traffic first. transmission has now moved on to a grinding sound, jerking motion, sounds as if something's getting stuck. each time i've taken the car into the shop, it runs well for a couple of weeks, and then starts the shaking and hesitating again. slowly the results come back, at first subtle so you don't think to rush to the shop to do something about it again (it costs money each time you have to take it), and come a couple months the car is back to heavy jerking and grinding. i feel extremely unsafe in the vehicle, it's unclear if i'll make it properly across traffic at times, or be able to make to destinations on log car rides..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP3J20CL.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 26, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE . had an issue with the vehicle suddenly shaking, shuddering violently, and being unable to accelerate beyond 40-35 mph. i would attempt to accelerate and it would operate as though in neutral. the vehicle would then kick in and rev up to 6-7000 rpm and still not accelerate. then it would finally feel as though it had downshifted but would not go above 40 mph. i took it in to the dealership to be looked at. they applied the latest computer updates and checked fluids. they told me the vehicle had a shifting fork code (dct), and that it would need to be replaced- yet the vehicle worked fine after the computer was updated. if there was a shifting fork issue, then it wouldn't magically disappear for a period of time after a computer update and come right back. the vehicle operated fine for several hours with no issues. then i felt the transmission 'hitch', and the check engine light again came on. i was literally 2 blocks from the same dealership i took it to earlier that day, so i took it back in. they said the same codes appeared, but that they would attempt the computer update again. the vehicle again seemed to work fine. then i was driving on a backroad highway due to my fear of the vehicle acting up while on the main highway and having my small children with me. the car again acted up and went from 65 to 35 rapidly and refusing to accelerate and acting as though it was in neutral. the transmission would occasionally catch, but would not go faster than 35 mph in a 65 mph area. this could cause a potentially fatal accident, and i cant help but wonder if there aren't any fatal accidents that can be attributed to this. i see that many others report the same exact issue i have..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 99059 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 10, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . i was driving on one of our first trips (400 miles) in the winter of 2012 in south dakota interstate 90. there was snow and ice patches on the highway and the steering was easy to slightly turn one direction, but harder to slightly turn the other direction. trucks and or wind always makes a car move and a person's steering makes a correction for this. this car's steering was easy one way and not as easy the other way. very difficult to drive this way. i have been driving vehicles for 60 years and never had this experience before. i took the car to the ford dealer and he said that ford did have some recalls on this steering behavior , but my car was not included. he did drive it and said it wasn't perfect, but okay as it was electronically made this way. i wrote a letter to ford motor company and they sent me back a letter telling me to work it out with the dealer. i guess they didn't understand my letter as i had already talked to the dealer and he couldn't do anything with it. i can only hope that we can trade it off before it causes an accident some day. probably not another ford! i also question why this steering behavior wasn't brought to the attention of the nhtsa? there were recalls before on this same problem. thanking you in advance for patience, i was driving .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 30, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . i was driving in a residential neighborhood when an error message displayed on the dash computer indicating that there was an issue with the power steering. i was in the middle of a turn onto another street when the power steering went out. this was not the first time that the power steering went out. i have experienced the same issue at least 5 times. on the most recent occasion noted here, the power steering control module (pscm) had just been replaced at my local ford dealership 4 or 5 days previous. i was told by the dealership that both the original pscm and the replacement pscm were part of the same batch that were apparently defective from the manufacturer. my car is currently having yet another pscm installed by the dealership. if ford is aware of a defective batch of pscms, a recall should be issued. i am also concerned that the first outage of the original pscm took roughly 2 years to manifest, while the second pscm went out in less than a week. i am not sure if that indicates a broader electrical problem with the car, or was simply a conincidence that the second pscm went out that soon after replacement..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 42500 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Nov 26, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . multiple instance have occurred starting in 2013 regarding shuddering with the car on acceleration. it happens when starting from a stopped position or even just trying to accelerate while driving. it has caused some dangerous situations, the latest occurrence was when i was trying to get on the freeway and the car wouldn't accelerate. the person behind me was really upset about it and started tailgating me. he was so close we could have reached out and touched his car. i could not go faster, as hard as i tried by pushing on the gas. when i was finally able to get up to speed, the car continued to follow me way too closely for several miles before finally turning off the freeway. the clutch assembly on my car has been replaced twice for two different issues. the last time i took the car in (in april 2014), i was told that the shuddering is occurring but does not fall in the parameters set out by ford, so there was nothing they could do. they said if it got worse, to bring it back. every time i have taken it in, it has been a hassle and very stressful for our family. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Ford Focus 2012 problem was reported in PUYALLUP, WA.

Ford Focus 2012 Power Train Review #10632412

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Aug 24, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . on august 24th, when driving on a major houston highway at 64mph, i lost all drive-train power. my check engine light and drive status indicator immediately started blinking, and i had no response from my throttle. i was simply coasting. thankfully, i was able to safely take an exit ramp and pull into a relatively safe location off the major highway. i waited some time with the car shut off, and after starting it back up, the cel cleared itself and car was functional again after leaving my car at tomball ford for a week, the dealership was unable to duplicate the issue, and found no record of the cel in the system. i was forced to pick the car back up from the dealership, and upon repeated inquiries from my wife as to whether or not the car was safe to drive, the service technicians would not tell her it was safe. on september 7th, only a few short days after picking the car back up, the same thing happened again during busy weekend traffic with my pregnant wife and baby daughter in the car. i had the car towed to my house, as the dealership was closed (it was a sunday). upon starting the car later that day in my driveway, the cel again, cleared itself. i dropped the vehicle off at the dealership again, and the service adviser informed me, that once again, they are unable to duplicate the failure. this car has now shut-down twice on me, with my family in the car, on very busy houston highways. i feel incredibly unsafe driving this vehicle, and question my dealership's ability to fix the issue after they willingly admitted they've "never seen this failure before." i managed to record the transmission failure on video, which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhxelgqmk1m.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 44000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Sept 22, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i purchased a used 2012 focus recently and a few days later on 9/22/14 i was driving around 50 mph when the rpms just shot up. i let off the gas and pressed down on it again and the engine revved up but again the car did not respond. i pulled over to the shoulder and tried to change the gear to neutral, then reverse, then back to drive and each gear did not respond to the gas. after shutting the car off i tried to start it up again and the car would not start. the traction control light and the the message "hill start assist not available" came on. after letting the car sit for a few minutes it started up and drove fine for the rest of the day. two days later the same thing happened on the freeway and i had to cross three lanes of highway traffic without being able to accelerate. after letting the car sit for a minute the car started back up and drove for about a minute and then the same thing happened again. the check engine light also came on this time and stayed on. i managed to get to school although a little late. on my way home the issue occurred multiple times. the first time the car was jerking forward and loosing the gear and then jerking forward again. the issue occurred a few miles from my house and this time the car would not start up on multiple attempts like it had previously. i disconnected the battery thinking that would help reset whatever was stuck but when the battery was connected back up the car still would not start. after looking over fuses and disconnecting and reconnecting the battery multiple times the car finally started back up and i was able to make the last few miles to my home. the car is very unsafe to drive and i was almost rear ended on the freeway when i had to pull off to the shoulder without power to the drive train. the car has also been making a grinding noise when shifting between gears since the first day..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 06, 2013.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . on-going issues with the transmission shudder, jerk, choking at lower speeds especially at about 15 mpg to 40 mpg. there has not been an accident yet but many close calls. during stop and go traffic, or making a turn from a stoplight, or in a construction zone where speeds are slower - driving this vehicle becomes an issue. there are time when the car will not move even with the gas pedal pushed, it jerks and chugs until the transmission kicks in causing a delay in acceleration, or it chokes as if it will die on the spot. these are all opportunities to cause an accident or to be hit because you cannot get your car to move. in detroit traffic is brutal - they do not stop for anything. i purchased the vehicle in may of 2012 - i only have 21,000 miles on the vehicle ( currently 10/15/14). i cannot trade it in since the vehicle valued so low. i cannot sell it since no one will buy a vehicle that drives the way it does. ford has provided a 7 yr. 100,000 mile warranty for the transmission but that is of no satisfaction to me. no one knows what the wear and tear will be as the car ages and someone dies because of it. these vehicles need to be seriously addressed. i don't drive the vehicle much because i do not feel safe - you cannot predict how much worse it is going to drive on any given day. dealer repairs do not fix the problem, it never goes ways and the car behaves badly every day - throw in a major meltdown for the really bad days..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP3M23CL.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Oct 13, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with STEERING . on the way home going along the interstate at the speed limit of 70 mph, the steering suddenly cut out without warning. we safely made it to the side of the interstate in which a light popped up in my dash which said steering loss stop safely. i turned the car off and then started it back again in hopes that it was just a glitch, but the error was still there. by the grace of god, we made it home safely. the following morning, i called the corporate customer relations number at the ford motor company and spoke to a customer representative who told me that yes there are recalls on focuses of the same year for steering loss, but my vin number did not fall under that recall because my car was not made at the same manufacturing location. he basically advised me that i need to call my local ford dealer and have my car sent there for repair. i then received the action plan from the supervisor at ford in which it discussed the results from the diagnostic test. all the results correlated with the other focus recalls which spoke of high steering resistance and the total estimated bill of $2,207.55. i then called the customer relations back at corporate ford motor company, gave them my case number, and expressed the issue that i was having, the diagnosis of the car, the correlation between my cars diagnosis and the recalled ford focus diagnosis; the representative that i spoke to then said she would draft up some more paperwork in my case and send it to her supervisor, but it wasn't likely that my car would be covered under recall. the incident on the interstate was one that was horrifying, could have caused death and has sent me into a spiral of non-stop panic attacks and i am unsure of what all i can do. i need your help to stop this from happening to someone else and to help us get the recall for safety concerns that we should have been afforded in the first place. updated 10/27/14. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 70000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i in june 2012 i took the car in to complain that it was stalling, jerking and shuddering. it appeared that the problem was fixed until several months later when it began to stall, jerk and shudder again. i have since taken the car in in 2013 and 2014 complaining that the car continued to act the same way. i received a letter from ford in may 2012 advising that we may experience rough or jerky automatic transmission shifts and that they had a "fix." i again received a letter in august 2014 advising that they are aware that it may be possible for the powershift 6-speed automatic transmission to exhibit excessive transmission clutch shudder during light acceleration and it may be caused by fluid contamination of the clutch due to leaking transmission seals. the letter states that if the vehicle's clutch, transmisison input shaft seals, or transmission software calibration require service or replacement they will service the transmission as necessary free of charge. when i took the vehicle to my local ford dealership i was advised that it may be a simple update to the computer software. this problem has been ongoing since a year after i bought the car and i feel very unsafe, as it tries to stall when parked at a light or when i'm driving at low speeds, such as when i am moving through a four way stop sign. i feel that one day i may have an accident because the car will not take off and the car behind me will rear end me; or, worse, it may accelerate too quickly causing me to hit the car in front of me or a barrier..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 15576 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Nov 18, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . to whom it may concern, i am a very unhappy customer with a car that i had purchased from your company. the car is not reliable what so ever and i can�t trust it with anything! i have always wanted the newer model focus and when i finally have the money to afford one i am extremely disappointed. i have never had this many issues with a car and this is one of the newest cars i have yet bought. i have missed 8 days of work this year just because the car has its own games to play.the car has almost cost me my life a few times due to the jerking on the engine that you guys feel is normal. when i go to make a turn the car jerks so much sometimes that it�s just makes it before i get smashed. this car is horrible and i think that it is so wrong that there is so much wrong with this car yet you still keep it on the market. one day this car is not going to go when i push the gas and i will get seriously injured. i have complained to service many times about this issue and they simply say� �well just push the gas a little harder� i�m sorry maybe the car should simply go considering its main function is to drive!!! this is one of the most disappointing, nonfunctional, and depreciative vehicle i have ever bought in my life. i will never buy a ford again if something cannot be done. so thank you so much, instead of me saving for college i now get to save up to buy another car because i was wrong about this car being dependable. thank you so much for all the hardship your poor manufacturing has caused me and my wallet. i really so hope someone can be of assistance and correct this issue because if not you will surely be losing a customer along with me posting this to social media in the months to come if something is not resolved. i figured if you guys don�t care enough about my well being then the world must know. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 65000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Nov 17, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i have been experiencing increasing hesitating and shuddering from my transmission when attempting to accelerate. at times, i have experienced high engine revs with very little power to the wheels. i can no longer rely on the transmission to deliver the engine power to the wheels when i need it. i have had several incidents where i've experienced loss of power when attempting to maneuver the vehicle into the flow of traffic. this presents a very real safety hazard to the driver. i went to my dealership in response to the letter from ford and was told that the parts are on national back-order. i was told that this was not a safety issue and would need to continue to drive my vehicle until parts were available. at this point, i have parked the car and have made other arrangements until i can get it serviced. ford must own up to the fact that this is a serious safety issue and issue a factory recall..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 17100 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 31, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . purchased this vehicle used from ford/nissan dealer. transmission makes grinding noise constantly. dealer says this is "normal and within specs" which is hard to believe. i can probably live with the noise factor but car shifting is also erratic and jerky. when merging into traffic and speeding up car will "bog down" before upshifting to faster gear and then makes high reving sound. purchased this vehicle to replace our families second vehicle and was also to be used by my daughter. don't feel safe having her drive this. driving safely in todays world is already a challenge but when you have to also adjust your driving and situational thinking to compensate for this vehicles abnormalities, it makes this ford focus an accident waiting to happen. very disappointed with this vehicle and very hard to believe that this was designed to perform this way and that ford has no fix or revision to correct this issue..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 18000 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Nov 14, 2012.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with SEAT BELTS . i purchased this vehicle in november of 2012 and was never forewarned about the issues they had. the transmission has been fixed numerous times but continues to clip, shudder, jerk, and shake. i had to go to durham a year and a half ago and was almost involved in a bad accident when the vehicle started to roll back on an incline while in drive. i have come close to many accidents though due to this car, mostly because the transmission hangs up so bad. i have to constantly pull into either a parking lot or the center turn lane when i am in heavy stop and go traffic because the transmission stops pulling. i normally have to turn the vehicle off and sit there for a few minutes before it resets itself and i can go on my way.recently i was in the mountains and the rpms kept hanging up at 4,000 rpm going up and down the pass. i had to keep hitting the brakes and hitting the gas in order to resolve this issue. with semi trucks behind you this is very disconcerting. i also was stuck in heavy stop and go traffic on the interstate in the middle lane and the transmission was trying to quit. last year the seat belt buckle broke and i could not get it to unlatch, this past summer the ac was not blowing out of the vents, had to take multiple trips to the shop to get it diagnosed, and eventually fixed both blend door actuators. the chrome plating started peeling off on the steering wheel this past year at only 40,000 miles and almost cut my hand multiple times. it took them two tries to fix that. my gas mileage is not even what is advertised for these vehicles. in town i get 22 to 25 and on the highway i get 26 to 29 mpg. this car is ridiculous! ford will not even acknowledge the issues that it has, instead the transmission is within normal operating parameters, the rest of it well as the customer service lady stated to me "all cars have issues". .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 200 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Dec 31, 2014.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . the car was operating fine up to the point after it was parked at a nearby strip mall. after returning to the car, the car would not start. the dash lights come on, radio works, etc but the starter acted like it was not even getting power. i thought the vehicle had a bad battery, after multiple attempts to jump start the car, it finally started. once the vehicle was running, i put it in reverse and it would not move as if it was in neutral. i checked the dash indicator to see if it was in reverse and the shift indicator had nothing highlighted. i put it back in park then it highlighted the "p", put it back in reverse and again it acted as if it was in neutral. i rolled back a bit and put it in drive and it still acted as if it was in neutral. it would not engage the transmission. i thought it could be due to a low power battery which also had acid leaking so i replaced the battery with a new battery. the car wouldn't start again but everything else worked (i.e. radio, dash, a/c blower, etc). i let it sit a day and tried again the following day and it started right off the bat. i put it in gear and it went into gear this time. a couple minutes later, an incline assist warning came up on the radio screen and the traction control and abs alerts were lighted on the dash. suddenly, the car would not go into gear again. i turned the car off and started it back up which it then went back into gear with no problem. i did research online and found others were experiencing the same issue. some even while driving, which makes me very uncomfortable to think of that happening on an interstate. i contacted my ford dealer about the issue and they denied ever hearing anything about that type of issue. extremely frustrating as this could be a potential safety hazard where someone could get killed and ford is playing coy to cover themselves. does ford care about human life?.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 38987 miles.

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 03, 2015.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . engine light came on exiting a parking garage on a busy evening in hilly san francisco. seconds later, the car lost momentum and wouldn't get into gear, even though the gear shift was in drive. alarming, for a 3-year old car with merely 43300 miles that has been cared for dutifully since it's purchase new in nov. 2011. my wife and i, with our kid and his friend in the backseat, decided to head home, foregoing plans for dinner, and continued to make our way to the highway homebound. the car seemed to run fine through the city streets for the next 10 mins., until we needed to cross 2 busy lanes to enter the freeway onramp. at that point, the car lost the power to safely cross the lanes, we missed our entrance, and were forced to circle city blocks to return to the onramp. the car seemed to regain normalcy, and accelerated to 55 mph, but then, approx. 2 miles later, lost power (even though the engine was revving), acting as if it were nearly in neutral. the car seemed to shift to a very low-powered drive. we were in the slow lane and took the first available exit, hazards blinking. once on city streets, we pulled over to the curb, and tried to re-engage the desired gear. we finally cut the ignition and restarted the car to try to limp it over to the gas station across the intersection and across oncoming traffic. we arrived at the gas station, and called the ford roadside assistant who was extremely polite but i won't go into the headache (and expense) of towing the car to a sensibly-located dealership and getting 2 adults and 2 kids back to our hometown some 80 miles away, at night. we feel extremely blessed that we experience these worrisome problems without injury (or worse) to ourselves, others or damage to property. we are not sure if our confidence to drive the car will be restored after reading many similar complaints below. we await for mon. for ford's answer..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43300 miles.

Ford Focus 2012 Power Train Review #10676474

FORD FOCUS 2012 car safety problem was reported on Jan 18, 2015.FORD FOCUS 2012, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with POWER TRAIN . shuddering while accelerating. grinding noise while the automatic transmission is shifting gears. vehicle has been into dealer multiple times for shuddering and shifting issues. the last time, at 49k miles, it was over an 8 week wait to get the car into the dealer - the transmission guys were backed up months at all surrounding dealers. ford's repair has been to reprogram the transmission. we purchased the car new and have been the only owners. the car did not shudder and grind when first purchased. and it performs better immediately after the reprogramming. but after a few thousand miles of travel, shuddering and grinding return. once it starts shuddering, i can duplicate this behavior within 2 miles of a ford dealership. there is a roundabout at livernois and hamlin roads that has a yield for incoming traffic. if the roundabout is clear, proceed into the roundabout between 5 and 10 mph and accelerate slowly while navigating the roundabout - and you get shuddering. personnel in the dealerships state that "drivers just don't know how to drive the car". i am a 50+ year old driver with experience in both manual and automatic transmissions. no tickets no accidents. this vehicle was purchased with the intent of passing to my children when they start driving. the inability to use slow acceleration without shuddering makes it too dangerous for inexperienced drivers. especially in michigan where winter conditions often require slow acceleration to maintain control of the vehicle. please act upon consumers behalf and force ford to provide a permanent resolution. either a fix that permanently stops the shuddering or replacement of the defective powertrain components. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 53000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1FAHP3F26CL. Ford Focus 2012 problem was reported in ROCESTER HILLS, MI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
