I purchased this vehicle 4 days ago. On the second day I noticed a shutter when accelerating, going uphill and often continuous. I have been told that it is the clutch. I am aware that the same issue on the 2017 focus has been recalled. I do not understand why it is just certain vehicles. Especially, since it is the same year and issue as the recalled ones. I am a police officer that has had some health issues with my heart. My parents gave me the money to buy this car. They do not have the money to repair it and neither do I. I called two Ford dealerships as well as the Ford manufacturer. Nobody was willing to help. I discovered that this is the place to file a complaint all on my own. Please try and help me.

January 2025 Vehicle experienced verified oil belt tensioner failure as the same in the recall #23564 My VIN is not in the recall list even though it is the same make model and year of the effected vehicles. The reason I believe it is not on the recall list is due to that they only included automatic transmissions and not the vin's of manual transmission. I have a manual transmission and so my VIN reflects a manual transmission. The transmission has nothing to do with the oil belt tensioner in this case as the motor/oil belt tensioners are the same design. I am requesting for an expedited review of this information to get all manual transmissions added onto the recall list which I've been told by Ford that only you can add vehicles to that list.

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2017 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the "Service Immediately" message was displayed, and the vehicle started losing motive power and stalled.

I was driving on I-90 at speed when the engine red warning light came on and the engine lost power and started making a lot of noise. I had to pull off on the shoulder of the interstate and shut down engine. Waited for 5 minutes and restarted engine but the warning light remained on. Fortunately, I was near an exit and limped to my maintenance provider. Their diagnosis was that the oil pump had failed and it was providing no oil pressure at all. They also said that there was an existing recall #23V905000 that pertained to this failure of the oil pump. I then contacted Ford and was told that my VIN number was not linked to the recall number because my car has a manual transmission. It is obvious that the recall is due to an engine oil pump failure and that has absolutely nothing to do with either a manual or automatic transmission.

Dear NHTSA Recall Division, I am writing to bring to your attention a safety and performance issue related to a potential defect in the EVAP canister purge valve of my 2017 ford focus, which may be linked to the previously issued recall for this component. The EVAP canister purge valve in my vehicle has become stuck in the open position, resulting in the engine burning an excessive amount of fuel. This has led to an overly rich fuel mixture, which has placed significant strain on the vehicle's catalytic converter. As a result, the converter is showing signs of damage, including clogging, rough idle, and potential stalling Given the severity of this issue, I am requesting that the NHTSA investigate the potential consequences of this defect and determine if the damage to the catalytic converter—stemming from the malfunctioning purge valve—should be addressed through an expanded recall. The defect appears to not only affect engine performance but could also present long-term risks to vehicle safety, including the possibility of unexpected stalling while driving. I respectfully ask for guidance on the appropriate steps to take in order to address this matter, including whether additional recalls or safety measures will be initiated to cover the catalytic converter damage caused by the faulty EVAP canister purge valve. Additionally, I would appreciate any further instructions on how to proceed with obtaining repairs or replacements for the defective parts. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and assistance in ensuring the safety and performance of affected vehicles.

The catalytic converter which is essential for the vehicle to pass smog going to be registered has failed at less than 100,000 miles for a component that should last potentially the life of the vehicle this is unacceptable tell us the approximate

not maintaining oil pressure, my ford is a 2017 1.0l ecoboost motor with a stick shift, i found a recall, Recall Reference Number: 23S64. for this motor but it only covers cars with automatic transmission, mine is a manual transmission, from my research they both have the exact same motor, 98500 ish miles. sitting almost 2 years because it wont hold oil pressure. what is the difference between the 2 motors. and why did you not recall all 1.0l ecoboost motors in this recall.

The oil pump in the 1.0L Ecoboost motor failed, causing the engine to stop working properly. This is the same motor that is already subject to recall, but mine has a manual transmission, so Ford has not included it in the recel (23S64). It is the exact same motor with the exact same problem, but they are not considering it part of the recall because of the manual transmission. They wont' act without being forced to do so. I don;t understand why I have the exact motor with the exact issue, but am not subject to the recall.

I haven't had the problem yet with the oil pump drive belt tensioner failing but would just like to say that Ford should be forced to buy back the effected vehicles with the 1.0 Ecoboost engine. As the owner of a 2017 Focus I'm stuck with a virtually worthless car that I'm afraid to drive or put my family in. Ford has had more that one year to date to come up with parts to fix this and still nothing. It's outrageous that owners are stuck with these vehicles. Ford's current update on the recall says to drive it and if it fails they'll replace the engine. What if it fails on the interstate doing 70 mph? Oh and the replacement engine still has the defective parts in it so it's a temporary repair.
