TRANSMISSION ISSUE FOR 2012 FORD FOCUS IS CODE PO7A3 A RECALL ITEM? TRANSMISSION ISSUE MAKES IT UNABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP STATES NOT A RECALL ITEM. BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE FROM THEM REGARDING ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND I JUST WANT TO VERIFY IT IS NOT A COVERED RECALL REPAIR AS IT WILL BE COSTLY.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING HARD AND JERKING THE CAR AFTER IT WAS REBUILT LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON THE REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE REBUILD WAS DONE THROUGH THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM AND NOW THEY ARE REFUSING TO FIX IT. IT HAS BEEN SLIPPING LIKE THIS AND GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS.

AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IT STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING DOWN MY DRIVE WAY AND IT STALLED. IT WOULD NOT START AND IT SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. I FINALLY GOT IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

WHILE ROUNDING A TURN GOING UP HILL MY CAR STARTED SHIMMYING, AND STUDDERING. AT THAT POINT I AM LOSING POWER. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IT IS ALSO DOING IT. I AM AFRAID IT'S GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

MY HORN DOESNT WORK NOR DOES RADIO. DOOR LOCKS. OPERATE BY THEM SELFS, LOCK UNLOCK WHEN DRIVING. THE RACK AND PINION POWER STEERING WENT OUT.THEN COME BACK ON. AND ANTI THEFT IS OUT. BEEN ON GOING FOR 3 YEARS NOW

I AM NOT TECH SAAVY FOR THE IMAGE OR DOCUMENT UPLOAD THIS IS OKAYING CHECK AND OKAY BY AN INDIVIDUAL RECALL20V-331 COMPLETE

THE DOOR LATCH WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE UNLOCKED POSITION AND WILL LEAVE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPEN WITH NO WAY OF CLOSING

WHEN I GET IN MY CAR TO CRANK IT, THE KEY SWITCH SEEMS TO KILL THE BATTERY BUT WHEN YOU PUT THE KEY IN, THE BELL DINGS SO I KNOW THE BATTERY ISN'T DEAD. IF YOU WIGGLE THE KEY IN THE KEY SWITCH, IT SOMETIME WILL CRANK AND OTHERS IT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING - LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IT WAS SAID THAT THE CATAYLIC CONVERTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

IT DIED WHILE DRIVING 3 TIMES RIGHT AFTER AND THE CAR IDLES STRANGE

THE HORN WON'T WORK.

THE DOOR LATCH SUDDENLY STOPED WORKING, PRIOR INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT THE SPRING INSIDE WENT BUSTED SINCE THE CABLE WAS ATTACHED TO THE MECHANISM AND IT DIDN'T RESPOND AS IT WOULD NORMALLY DO. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY APARTMENT AFTER WORKING JUST FINE DURING THE TRIP FROM MY HOMETOWN.

I LITTLE WHILE AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2012, IT BEGAN SHUTTERING UPON ACCELERATION. I'VE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY RAN THEIR COMPUTER TEST WHICH CONFIRMS THERE IS A SHUDDER. HOWEVER, "IT IS NOT OCCURRING FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY FIXING IT" ACCORDING TO THE FORD CORPORATE OFFICE, WHO I SPOKE WITH LAST YEAR SOME TIME. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND I WOULD LIKE THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE KNOWN IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FOCUS 2012. OR I WOULD ACCEPT FINANCIAL COMPENSATION TO BE PUT TOWARDS A SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE.

I WAS IN A LANE BEGINNING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR WAS TO MY LEFT AND DID NOT SEE ME IN THEIR BLIND SPOT TRYING TO MERGE RIGHT TOO EARLY. THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS FOLLOWING TOO CLOSE NOT ALLOWING ME TO BE ABLE TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS. IF MY HORN WORKED I COULD HAVE ALERTED THE DRIVER THAT A CAR WAS IN THEIR BLIND SPOT. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED, BUT I'D RATHER ONE NOT HAPPEN PERIOD. MY HORN HAS BEEN GOING IN AND OUT FOR QUITE A WHILE. I HAVE CHANGED THE FUSE A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF TIMES AND GOT THE PLUGS CHECKED. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG. THIS CAR ALMOST HIT ME DUE TO THIS HORN ISSUE. ALSO, I CAN NOT PASS VEHICLE INSPECTION DUE TO MY HORN NOT WORKING AND THE SECURITY SOUND NOT SOUNDING WHEN IT IS BEING LOCKED.

RADIO RANDOMLY SCREECHES AT A VERY HIGH FREQUENCY. SOUNDS LIKE A GUN SHOT AT FIRST THEN EAR PIERCING SCREECHING. EVEN DOES IT WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. SEEMS TO MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THIS OCCURS AND IT DOES NOT DO IT EVERY DAY. MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS NOISE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE. WHEN YOU SHUT THE CAR OFF THE NOISE CONTINUES. EVEN CONTINUES AFTER REMOVING THE KEY AND LOCKING THE DOORS.

MY 2012 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO ACT UP IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. IT'S STUTTERING AND THE JERKING MOVING FROM A STOP. MY BROTHER WHO IS A MECHANIC SAYS IT'S PROBABLY THE CLUTCH AGAIN. IS IT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL. IT HAS 136500 MILES ON IT. I NEED THE CAR FOR BOTH MY JOBS. I'LL NOT PAYING $2000 FOR A NEW CLUTCH.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE TRAVELING.

CAR SHUTTERED MID TRAFFIC LIGHT SO I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT JERKED BACK INTO SPEED AND I WAS GOING UNDER A HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ANYMORE AND STARTED JERKING AGAIN SO I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND REALIZED THAT I COULD NOT REVERSE EITHER.

MY CAR IS A FORD FOCUS 2012 I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE . I LOST SPEED WHILE I WAS IN THE HIGHWAY .MY CAR WAS FINE ALL WEEK I RAN WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM NO LIGHT APPEAR AT THE DASHBOARD .WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELARATE IN THE HIGHWAY A MESSAGE APPEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME TRANSMISSION MALFUCTION.

THE TRANSMISSION RACES AND STAY THERE THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ONLY LASTED A YEAR AND THREE MONTHS NOW FORD DOES'NT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. THEY KNOWINGLY KNEW THERE TRANSMISSION WERE FAULTY. NOW THEY WANT ME TO COME OUT POCKET $611 TO PUT ANOTHER BAD TRANSMISSION IN.

WHILE DRIVING FORD FOCUS ELECTRIC, CAR ALERTED ME TO STOP SAFELY NOW, WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING. TYPICALLY THIS OCCURS WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND IT WAS UNEXPECTED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALER WHILE WORKING WITH FORD DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

'TAKATA RECALL' I WAS DRIVING AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON WATT AVE AND THE CAR WENT FROM 45MILES TO 0 IN SECONDS ON A GREEN LIGHT AND I GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME,WAS BARELY MOVING A LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR SAYING 'TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW'

MY CAR SHUTS OFF OR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, GAS INDICATOR IS NOT ACCURATE, I CAN SMELL FUEL FOR A LONG TIME AFTER I FILL UP, THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT SMOOTH AT ALL, IT JERKS AND SHAKES, WIPER FLUID IS FULL BUT IT WON'T RELEASE.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS KEEP ON OPENING WHILE IN MOTION SO I HAVE TO REALLY HOLD ON TIGHT WITH THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING. I THINK BECAUSE THE LATCHKEY/LOCK BROKE OR SOMETHING... I'VE ALREADY GO TO FORD FOR THIS ONE BUT THEY SAID IT'S NOT ON THEIR RECALL LIST...
