2017 Ford Focus UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I am reporting a safety-related defect in my 2017 Ford Focus equipped with the PowerShift dual-clutch (DPS6) transmission. The vehicle has experienced ongoing transmission and clutch-related issues, including shuddering, jerking, hesitation from a stop, delayed engagement, and unpredictable acceleration behavior. These issues are most noticeable in low-speed driving, stop-and-go traffic, and when accelerating from a complete stop. The clutch has previously required replacement/repair, yet the same drivability problems persist. The vehicle continues to jerk and hesitate in a way that makes it unsafe to enter intersections, merge into traffic, or drive in congested conditions. I have been informed that further repairs are not cost-effective and that the transmission/clutch issues are likely to continue despite repair attempts. Being advised that the vehicle is “not worth repairing” due to this known transmission design is concerning and suggests a systemic defect rather than normal wear. I am aware that Ford has faced widespread complaints, investigations, and class-action litigation related to similar PowerShift dual-clutch transmission failures in earlier model years. Although my 2017 model year was excluded from the settlement, the symptoms and behavior of my vehicle are consistent with the same known defect pattern. The condition appears to be worsening over time and presents a clear safety risk due to hesitation, sudden engagement, and loss of driver control during normal driving situations.

My 2017 Ford Focus is grounded due to the oil pump safety recall involving loss of oil pressure and engine stall. Ford is refusing to provide alternate transportation unless I pay out of pocket. As a result, I am unable to work and have no safe transportation while Ford repairs a known safety defect. I have already missed an entire week of work due to their negligence, and they are unwilling to help.

My rear view camera only works about 15% of the time. I get a little dust on it and it's useless. You recalled a bunch of older Ford models today but not on my vehicle despite it being the exact same camera as on the fusion model. I've been waiting for this recall for years and am greatly disappointed. Same thing happened with the bad transmission issue previously. The transmission skips just like all the other models that got recalled and you did nothing for the 2017 Ford focus. Extremely disappointed in this inaction

TCM transmission control module failed and im being told that my year isn't covered under a recall when other models are it left my family stranded untill I could limp my car home

Vehicles dual clutch transmission dry clutch overheats causing the transmission to stop shifting.

Good morning this is my ford focus car VIN 1FADP3K2XHL247975 i am in Iraq I checked my car recalls and it has one reacall, But when i went to the ford dealer named Alkasid in iraq locayed in Erbil it says we won't fix it because your car warranty cancelled and what i know is that even after warranty the recall is is still available.

Transmission stopped working at 63,777 miles. I was in a freeway when this occurred. Car had to be towed back home. Repair shop wants $8800 to put in a new transmission. Ford extended the warrantee up to 2016 models but refused to extend the 2017 model.

Shudder upon acceleration due to faulty clutch pack. even when replaced under warranty the faulty clutch presents the same problem. Causes all kinds of UNKNOWN problems when the car fails to accelerate and/or the clutch assembly fails. Problem has been confirmed multiple times by Ford Dealer. Been inspected by the manufacturer- FORD and deemed unsafe and needing immediate repair. No warning lamps, messages, etc. Car will just do that with no warning.

There is an app by Ford, its called Ford Pass. When I install the app, I have to provide the VIN of my vehicle. When I open the app, I am told that there is a recall on my vehicle. When I touch the Recall icon, there is text that says that I am to pay to have this recalled performed. This does not seem right to me.

Everytime i press on the gas from a slow speed or from a complete stop, the car shakes and shutters until it finally starts to go. I have brought this to multiple dealers who have told me it is the transmission and that we shouldn’t have the transmission replaced because it will just go bad right after because ford purposely made them this way. My safety is put at risk because as the car struggles to bring itself to speed, i am almost stuck where i am, leaving me vulnerable in intersections for seconds until it catches up. Cars behind me have gotten aggressive and honked before because of how long it takes my car to speed up. They have sped past me, scaring me half to death. I have brought this to individual mechanics and the ford dealer himself who confirmed it’s the transmission. There were never any warning messages ever. This happens everytime i press the gas from a complete stop or a very slow speed, it started aroudn when i got it.

I am requesting an investigation as to the matter at hand; this letter contains all specifics as related to the vehicle and from the time of purchase to now. The vehicle is currently not in operable conditions and it can be identified as a 2017 Ford Focus SE 4 Cylinders 2 2.0L DI DOHC 122 CID. There was a lawsuit for this car prior and there was a judgment rendered for issues with the vehicle, new issues have arisen since the lawsuit. On or about 9/19/2022 however on or about 10/9/2022 Plaintiff began experiencing issues with the car. On or about 10/16/2022 a mechanic diagnosed the car with having issues of P07A3 and P2872 and that labor would be about $600.00 not including parts. Subsequently, the vehicle is not currently running. If you request more information from me I can send it, however, please redact any sensitive information.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would independently downshift. The contact also stated that the vehicle would jerk and hesitate upon the depression of the accelerator pedal with the "transmission fault service now," warning message displayed on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that on two occasions, the vehicle had stalled while traveling at highway speeds. The first time, the contact had the vehicle towed to the dealer; the second failure, the contact was able to slowly drive the vehicle to the dealer. The dealer replaced the transmission fork on the first visit and updated the PCM software on the second; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V845000 (Power Train). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

Traveling 30-35 mph, car jerked 5-6 times. Approximately 1/8 mile further got in to the middle turn lane and started to turn when car stalled in the middle of the road. Was able to coast into driveway and then I was able to restart car. Check engine light came on and has stayed on. Auto on/off switch was engaged but did not turn off vehicle at stop sign, where I waited to pull out, directly preceding stalling incident. Mechanic pulled the code p1450 for 'unable to bleed up fuel tank vacuum' and also a purge valve issue. I believe both of these issues have been recall items on the Focus but for a 2.0 liter not the 1.0 liter that my vehicle is. I find this issue extremely dangerous & unacceptable that it is not a recall on my car too. I will fix asap as I am scared to drive it now especially on the freeway.

After a full stop at a high way exit, I turned left into a local road at about 10mph. Suddenly, my vehicle showed a message "Stop safely now", at this same time I found my vehicle completely lost its power. It did not even have the power for me pull over. I had to stop and block the traffic. I tried several times to restart the vehicle by turning off the power and then turning on again, but without success. I waited for another 5 minutes and tried again, suddenly, the engine light was on again and the vehicle gained its power. I resumed my trip. I searched internet, and found that "About 2,600 Focus Electrics built between Sept. 15th, 2011 to Aug. 8th, 2013 at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne have finally been recalled due to the 'Stop Safely Now' problem." My model is Focus Electrics 2017.

The contact owns a 2017 Ford Focus. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle jerked, shuddered, and stalled. The vehicle would not immediately accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Additionally, while operating the vehicle the check engine warning light would remain illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. The contact indicated that the transmission had been replaced on three separate occasions. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 46,000.

This vehicle has had 3 transmissions replaced within the 36,000/3 year warranty.It now has 46,000 miles on it,no warranty and is need of another transmission replacement,as it shudders violently,stalls or surges upon stopping.i have reached out to Ford Motor Co. And no one will offer any type of help for repairs,or in getting me out of this death trap and into a safer vehicle,as they are well aware of the known issues per class action lawsuits.My only other option at this point is to file bankruptcy on this vehicle unless you can help me.

My 2017 Ford Focus engine is stalling without warning. The engine will cut off totally without warning, anytime, anywhere. This is life threatening. So dangerous Also after putting gas in my tank, the car will not start at all And this problem is identical to the cars that are recalled #19S22. My 2017 Ford Focus apparently was build May 2, 2017, Less than a month after the recall cut off date of April 17, 2017. My Ford Focus has all the same problems as the recalled Ford Focus 2017. I could be killed driving my 2017 Ford Focus and I shutter to think about what could happen. My car dealership just keeps repeating that my 2017 Ford Focus is not recalled. Unable to get any serious attention about this problem by the Ford dealership or Ford Motor Company. The fact that my Ford Focus is not included in the really, no one is of any help. I'm reporting it now to you that my 2017 Ford Focus is a life threatening vehicle and needs to be reported as a serious safety hazard immediately

WHERE THE REAR TAIL-LIGHT ASSEMBLY MATE WITH THE CAR BODY THERE IS A RUBBER SEAL/GASKET IN BETWEEN THE SCREW OF THE ASSEMBLY AND THE HOLE ON THE CAR BODY, TO PREVENT WATER LEAKING INTO THE CAR. THE RUBBER SEAL GOES BAD QUICKLY, AND WATER LEAK INTO THE TRUNK WHILE PARKED AND CAUSE WATER DAMAGE TO ALL THE COMPONENTS AROUND AND IN THE SPARE WHEEL WELLS. THIS ALSO MEAN IT CAN CAUSE WATER DAMAGE TO CAR BODY PREMATURELY. FORD DOES NOT EVEN SELL THIS RUBBER SEAL TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND IF WATER LEAK INTO CAR AND CAUSE DAMAGE THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE IT IS TO BUY A WHOLE BRAND NEW TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY

HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH NO SOLUTION. SHUDDERING PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP.

BROKE DOWN WOULDN'T START OVERHEATING WOULD GO PAST 30 TOOK TO SHOP SAYING IT'S CLUTCH MOTORS FOR TRANSMISSION 1900.00$

THE BACK UP CAMERA STOPED WORKING. WHEN YOU BACK UP

BOTH OF MY CLUTCHES WENT OUT IN EARLY 2019, IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO PAY $3300 OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT. NOW THEY'RE BEING RECALLED IN AUGUST 2019 FOR THIS? I SHOULD GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS.

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING

MY 2017 FORD FOCUS IS HAVING ISSUES WITH JIDDERING AND JUMPING. IT IS ESPECIALLY WORSE WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND GOING, IT WILL SHAKE AND JUMP. MY CAR IS NOT DAMAGED I JUST KNOW THE 2015 YEARS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED. IT DOES THIS JUMPING LIKE THING REGARDLESS CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY IT'S JUST WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP AND GOES AGAIN. IF YOU EASE INTO IT OR FLOOR IT IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

WHEN ENGINE WARMS UP AND YOU ARE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ANYWHERE THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP AND YOU THEN PROCEED TO HIT THE GAS ONCE IT HITS AROUND 16-20 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FRONT END OF THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT STARTS STUTTERING AND JERKING HEAVILY. ONCE YOU GET OVER ABOUT 20-21MPH IT STOPS. THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE STREET, HIGHWAY, ANYWHERE THE CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP THEN GOES. HAPPENS EVERYDAY ONCE THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WARMS UP SOME.
