Since very early on owning this vehicle, the engine hesitated and stuttered when trying to shift from first to second gear, and would lunge forward slightly. In December 2024, I received a letter from Ford Motor Company about a customer satisfaction program, Campaign 24N07. The letter addressed the symptoms my vehicle exhibited, including engine hesitation, engine running rough, and engine stalling at low speeds, though the check engine light was not on. The letter states that Ford Motor Company provides a one-time replacement of the canister purge valve, given these symptoms and the check engine light being on. When I called all the local Ford dealerships, they refused to do it because the check engine light was not on, and that Ford Motor Company issued this as a customer satisfaction program, rather than a safety recall.Everything that was listed in Campaign 24N07 is MOST DEFINITELY a safety issue, and should not be taken lightly. It is highly concerning that Ford Motor Company didn\u2019t think to consider ENGINE ISSUES a safety recall. The class action lawsuit Vargas et al v. Ford Motor Company had a deadline of November 4, 2020, which was 2 years and 3 months prior to us buying the vehicle, so any vehicles of the affected years and models should have been either repaired, or not allowed to be sold unless the repairs were done by an authorized Ford dealership. This information was not told to us when we bought the vehicle.On May 25, 2026, while driving, the engine fault and steering assist fault warnings came on, as well as the check engine light. When we were able to safely park the car, we discovered the entire power train is non operational. The engine no longer turns over, and we are now having to buy a new car.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11739372,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/09/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"05/21/2026","vin":"1FADP3E27GL","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"My car Transmission dual clutch went out in 2024.

After getting the car back, my check engine light came on but Ford advised that it didn't have anything to do with the engine replacement and associated parts.

In January 2026, my engine failed again with similar symptoms. It was towed to the same dealership where they informed me that I was out of warranty on the engine and my new issue had to do with coolant intrusion.

The transmission began slipping during acceleration, hesitating between gear engagement, and triggering a \u201cTransmission Overheat\u201d warning. Eventually, the vehicle lost the ability to reliably shift between Drive and Reverse and would not consistently engage gears. The vehicle can start and move forward but cannot reliably switch directions within the same ignition cycle. The vehicle is available for inspection.  The transmission malfunction created safety concerns due to delayed or failed acceleration when entering traffic. The vehicle hesitated and slipped under throttle input, which could prevent timely acceleration when merging or crossing intersections. Additionally, the inability to reliably shift between Drive and Reverse could create hazardous situations in parking lots or emergency maneuvering scenarios. The sudden transmission overheat warning and gear disengagement could result in loss of power in traffic.  The issue has been confirmed by an independent mechanic who diagnosed transmission failure. The vehicle has a known history of prior clutch replacement under similar symptoms. The transmission malfunction is consistent with documented DPS6 transmission failures in 2016 Ford Focus models.  The vehicle has been inspected by an independent service center. The manufacturer has not inspected the vehicle.  Prior to failure, the vehicle exhibited shuddering during acceleration from a stop, particularly at low speeds. This condition has been intermittently present for several years following a prior clutch replacement. In the days leading up to failure, the vehicle experienced difficulty accelerating and hesitation under throttle. A \u201cTransmission Overheat\u201d warning message appeared while driving.

The vehicle's Transmission Control Module (TCM) has failed twice, resulting in sudden, complete loss of power and dangerous stalling incidents at highway speeds.  In January 2023, at approximately 8,000 miles, the vehicle suddenly lost all propulsion while traveling on a highway. We were forced to execute a dangerous emergency maneuver across lanes of traffic to reach the shoulder. A Ford dealership diagnosed a failed TCM which had, in turn, caused the clutch to burn out.  In July 2025, after only 7,000 additional miles (total vehicle mileage ~15,000), the identical, catastrophic failure occurred again. The vehicle once more stalled without warning on a major highway, creating another life-threatening situation. The diagnostic codes confirmed the same TCM and clutch failure, proving the issue is a persistent, underlying defect and not a random occurrence.  This failure is entirely consistent with the widely-documented defect in Ford's Powershift (DPS6) transmission. This problem has been the subject of multiple national class-action lawsuits and is detailed in thousands of other consumer complaints filed. The repeated failure in our low-mileage vehicle underscores that this is a predictable and systemic design flaw that makes the vehicle inherently unsafe.  We attempted to address this critical safety failure directly with Ford Motor Company. Our concerns were met with dismissal, and despite being issued a case number, Ford has failed to respond to our calls registered letter.  This vehicle is unsafe to operate. We are filing this complaint to implore the NHTSA to launch a formal investigation into this defect. The repeated, sudden loss of power presents an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death to occupants and other motorists. We believe a mandatory recall is urgently required.

It has not completely failed yet, but the symptoms \u2014 including shuddering, slipping, jerking, and hesitation when accelerating or shifting \u2014 have worsened over time. It uses a dual-clutch transmission with no dipstick, making it difficult to properly monitor or service. The vehicle is in my possession and available for inspection upon request.  Due to the unpredictable and unsafe driving behavior, I have stopped driving the vehicle altogether and have not driven it in over a month. The car hesitates when shifting, especially at stop signs or when merging into traffic, creating serious safety concerns for myself and others.  The issue has been reproduced multiple times and addressed at the CarMax dealership in Tinley Park, IL, where I bought the car. However, their repairs were only temporary, and the problem returned. Because the car is now outside of their warranty period, they refuse to inspect it without charging a diagnostic fee. I also contacted Ford Customer Service, but was told that since there is no current recall, I would need to pay out of pocket and that no assistance could be offered.  There were no warning lights or messages at the start of the issue, which began within 60\u201390 days of ownership. The transmission symptoms have been present ever since, and have progressively worsened.  This is clearly part of a wider transmission issue with the 2016 Focus, as supported by numerous consumer complaints and lawsuits. I urge NHTSA to investigate and take appropriate action, including consideration of a recall.

However, my vehicle\u2019s VIN does not currently show an active recall, and Ford has not covered the repairs.  Canister Purge Valve (Error Code P1450): The canister purge valve in my vehicle is malfunctioning, leading to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and difficulties starting the engine. This issue also triggered the check engine light. My research shows that similar problems were included in a Ford recall for the 2016 Ford Focus, where a defective purge valve could cause stalling and inaccurate fuel readings. Despite these similarities, my VIN is not covered under this recall.  Transmission Control Module (TCM) Issues: My vehicle also has transmission performance problems linked to the Transmission Control Module (TCM), causing hard shifting, irregular transmission behavior, and occasional failure to engage properly. The TCM issues are well-documented among 2016 Ford Focus vehicles, some of which were included in recalls and extended warranty programs, but my vehicle is excluded from this coverage.  Given that these issues directly impact the vehicle's drivability and safety, I am requesting an investigation into why vehicles with similar symptoms are not covered by these recalls. These issues pose potential safety risks, including sudden stalling and compromised transmission performance.

The issue started on or about two days ago, on [XXX].  The car drives and as I'm driving it, it stalls and/or gets stuck momentarily and then begins to drive again as usual. I've been close to being hit from behind and causing an accident because the cars behind me don't expect to stop so suddenly.  I've been lucky so far to have not been crashed into.  It did the stalling without warning sensors alerting a problem for two days. The car now does show a yellow sensor on the right side of the dashboard which looks to me like a motor of some sort, I'm not sure. Additionally, during these two past days while the car has been having the stall/stop issue... the car does not start as it used to.  I put the key in the ignition and turn the key to start the car but it won't start or make any sound as if it's gonna start.  I have to turn the key two or three times for the car to start and then it finally does.  Since the issue started, I've had the necessity to use the car and have used it about three times but I've not had it checked yet because the weather has been very bad in my area with on and off thunderstorms which makes it not possible for me to drive.  I have very poor eyesight, I can barely see from my right eye due to the retina being detached and I don't feel safe driving  under these circumstances.  Additionally, the car started to make a noise; coming from under the hood the last time I started it which subsided once I drove it.  Please advise me of what is best for me to do. I'm [XXX] and I do for myself without help nor do I have relatives near me at the moment to drive myself as I do to get my groceries and meet my doctors appointments and such.  Thank you.

I received a recall notice from Ford on my Transmission Control Module.  I called Long-Lewis Ford in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in January 2024 and asked them when I could bring my car in for repair.  I was told that I couldn't just bring it in, that I needed an appointment.  Long-Lewis Ford called me on [XXX] and told me to bring my car in.  I took it to Long-Lewis Ford on [XXX].  Long-Lewis Ford then parked my car outside in their parking lot for 54 days without doing anything to it.  Long-Lewis Ford finally called me on [XXX] and told me to come and get my car.  When I arrived at Long-Lewis Ford, the Long-Lewis Ford employee said \"Here are your keys, but the car won't run.  I tried to start my car, but the battery was dead from sitting in their parking lot for 54 days.  I went to a parts store and bought a new battery.  I installed the battery and my car started.  On the way home I noticed that the transmission shift points were between 4,000 and 5,000 RPM's.  The transmission would only go into Drive, Neutral and Park.  It would not go into Reverse.  It appears that Long-Lewis Ford did not follow the Recall Letter that requires the battery to be fully charged with a battery charger connected to the battery when programming the Transmission Control Module.  Also, since Long-Lewis Ford  stated the \"car won't run\" they never did a road test to see if my car was roadworthy.  Long-Lewis Ford also told me that if I had transmission problems they would not fix it and I would have to pay for it, even though, Transmission Control Module failure can damage the Titanium disks in the transmission.  ford has bought back or repaired thousands of these vehicles, but they have refused to repair mine.  it is currently sitting in my yard and will not start.

After 3 weeks of driving the vehicle, the engine began to fail and the vehicle would stop driving/rpm would crash to 0 while driving. After seen by 3 auto shops, it resulted in the engine being destroyed due to the placement of a belt in oil within the engine and had to pay over 7000 out of pocket for a used engine and a new belt just for the car to run. Despite issues between the end of 2022 to now (March 2024) with starting the car or driving for a long amount of time, we were told the belt needed to be replaced after 50,000. The fix for the belt is over 2000 out of pocket which is absolutely ridiculous. It is March 28th today, on March 22nd my engine failed and the vehicle is liable to stop while driving, therefore unsafe to use. I have not driven the car 50,000 miles since the new belt was put in. It won\u2019t start right away, but when it starts the entire car shakes vigorously anywhere from 3-6 minutes and the rpm bounces from 0 to 1.5 the entirety of it shaking. The engine makes a terrible sound throughout this process. After it \u201cwarming up\u201d the rpm bobbles the whole drive time.

He advised me not to drive the vehicle until he could get my car in on November 7.  When I started the car to take it to the mechanic on the evening of November 6 for him to look at the next day, the oil light came on.  It was a 5 minute drive from my home to the auto shop. He immediately said Oh, Oh, that's the bad oil light not the low oil light. I have routinely kept up with the recommended maintenance schedule and the car was last serviced on June 7, 2023 with no problems. I was told on the morning of November 7 after he had looked at the car that the engine was shot and the car would need a brand new engine.  One of the employees at the shop is a former employee of a Ford dealership and was not at all surprised as he began running down a list of all the times that he had seen this problem.  \"It always happens right after the warranty expires' were his exact words. I now have to wait for a new engine, which is on back order for up to 2-3 months, which is an indication of how rampant this problem is with this Ford engine, and I will have to figure out how I'm going to get to work as we head into the winter months.  One of the last things that the mechanic said to me before I signed the $5400 work order, was how lucky I was that the car didn't die on the road leaving me stranded.  I can only attribute that to the short distances that I drive.

I can only assume it was associated with an elevation change, but I open my windows for short bursts regularly to cycle in fresh air so I don't think that's it. Differential heating between the glass and the solid object holding it perhaps? If the internal glass holding component is being cooled by the AC and the external glass is being heated by the sun/ambient air - I assume it can cause a compression force on the glass. It was a hot day in SAC, but not over 100 degrees. Perhaps a defect in the glass? Either way, major safety concern.

Nothing obvious wrong upon visual inspection but vehicle was undrivable except at slow speed.  Eventually check engine light came on while vehicle parked.  Made appointment at local dealership.  Check oil light also came on in route to dealership.  If this had happened on highway would have put me in an unsafe situation.  After some research turns out this is a known problem for the 1.0 Ecoboost engine.  The oil pump belt fails and shreds clogging up the internals of the engine.  In my conversations with Ford they admit it is a known problem but have not taken any steps to support vehicle owners as most failures have occurred outside the warranty.  In my case at about 61,000 miles.  Also learned direct from Ford that the engine replacement is currently on back order for over 500 customers.  Obviously there is a problem as this number does not even include orders they have fulfilled.  My car has been sitting at dealership now for 5 weeks waiting on an engine with no end in sight.  This was not a spare vehicle so I had no choice but to purchase another used vehicle which has added significant cost to me for Ford's failure.  Again, I was fortunate this did not happen on the highway but I bet others were not so fortunate.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11548186,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/20/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"10/04/2023","vin":"1FADP3F2XGL","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus.

We purchased the car in 2020 used with very low miles.  We didn't realize at the time these vehicles had issues with the clutches (but thought it would be OK because after research, we found out the vehicles in the Ford Class Action Lawsuit were model years 2014-2016) and then found out her vehicle build date was just outside of that window by 9 months.  But regardless, we had issues from the start with the vehicle shuttering when she accelerated.  So we took it in late fall 2020 after we had it a few months and it was a bad clutch.  Ford Service replaced the clutch in Dec. 2020 under the Powertrain Warranty coverage.   It was better, but within 6 months it started shuttering again, not horrible, but noticable.  We took it in for a Check Engine light in Aug. of 2021 and also mentioned to Ford Service that it is already shuttering again.  They said it was still safe to drive, but I didn't like that it was already happening when they just replaced the clutch.  And if they would've done somethign then, it would've still been within the 5 year powertrain warranty.  Then late in 2022 I contacted Ford again because I had driven my daughters car out of town, when it gets heated up from highway driving, it shutters extremely bad when you get back in town and accelerate from a stop.  So much so that the whole car shakes and doesn't just accelerate normally at all.  We called Ford and they opened a Case #, said we had to get it diagnosed first and yes they said bad clutch again, but now Ford is only offering to cover a portion of the clutch replacement?  I was pretty disappointed they wouldn't fully replace.  This is 2 years since the last replacement and I wasn't expecting to have any further clutch issues.  I honestly don't like my daughter driving it due to this issue.  The car is not a healthy running car and takes those extra seconds to get going while the car shakes upon accellerating at a stop light, etc.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11509589,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/27/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"02/28/2023","vin":"1FADP3E22GL","components":"STRUCTURE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"While driving on the highway my 2016 ford focus stalled without warning and would not start until after having it towed.

Idles very rough when stopped RPM jumps all over the place. No warning lights on dash whatsoever.

Took car to dealer last week and they replaced clutch assembly for $2925. This is extremely frustrating since the clutch was repaired at 26,100 miles. That didn't work, so now we have to pay that amount. Let's be honest, these cars are known for clutch/transmission issues, so replacing this again at 45,000 is not fair at all. Why isn't Ford doing the right thing and offering to replace this at their own cost?  I don't have current receipt for $2900 as I haven't picked up car yet, but work costs can be confirmed at Manning Ford in DeKalb, Illinois. I will upload original receipt when my dad took car in the first time for this issue.

The drive-ability of the 2016 Ford Focus SE HB I make payments on is at best a D level experience. I, too, am plagued by the regular occurrence of the shuddering between the 1st and 2nd gear along with the spiking RPMs that follow immediately after when the shuddering transpires. It seems almost as if the 2nd gear is coming in on the 1st a little too soon, which would factor in an obvious failed effort on transmission calibration. In general, the shifting performance is unnerving and quite embarrassing when you have passengers.  If you are like me and have one of these vehicles with this transmission type, good luck on getting a true fix in this Power-Shift setup. It is possible to improve the driving conditions with third party tuning if your strategy will pair with the tuning device (another issue of discussion for Ford); otherwise, one needs a complete, conventional transmission installed in hopes of getting rid of this issue in its entirety if an automatic transmission is your preferred preference.  In summary, the Ford Focus SE I have is the 2.0. liter, and it appears that Ford has discreetly excluded this liter from the recall, warranty work in general. In other words, you will likely have an incredible hard time getting a Ford dealership to acknowledge the problem or replace your clutches unless you pay for it. To fully remedy this situation, Ford should be required to buyback all of these poorly calibrated transmission cars from current owners and those still for sale on the American market.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11426161,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/23/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"07/23/2021","vin":"1fadp3f24gl","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"The contact owns a 2016 Ford Focus.

This would lead to rapid declaration, often times in moderate or greater traffic causing hazardous conditions to both myself and passengers and/or other vehicles and their passengers.  The hazard was of possible collision as the vehicle did not perform at the speed of traffic.  Additional hazard and safety issue, was during these events, the vehicle would enter a \"neutral\" gear position and although the accelerator was depressed, their was NO torque to the drive train, this would also either decelerate the vehicle rapidly or in the event of cornering, increase the speed instantly during the cornering turn (because of the lack of downshift torque to the drive train)...on one instance I was unable to control the turn speed quickly enough and the vehicle entered the shoulder of the turn before I was able to regain positive control of the vehicle.   Although Ford has a Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) extending the warranties for the transmission clutch and TCM, it appears that Ford Service Dealers are extremely hesitant to perform the warranty service.  To that end, I have taken my vehicle to local Ford dealer with the transmission shudder conditions complaint, and each time they claim their diagnostics were not able to replicate my issue.  All these service appts were while vehicle was under the warranty in miles and months. Then, this last week the vehicle had the same instances happen while on the freeway (all previous episodes had been on surface city streets), and it was a very dangerous situation with at least 2 vehicles taking evasive action to avoid rear-ending my vehicle as it decelerated rapidly.
