The dealership subsequently denied recall coverage claiming \"bad maintenance history\". Under NHTSA Campaign 23V-905, Ford explicitly acknowledges that the wet belt and tensioner are defective by design and cause oil starvation. Denying a safety recall remedy for the exact failure mechanism detailed in the federal recall notice based on discretionary maintenance rules violates federal safety recall requirements. Furthermore, I attempted to escalate this denial to Ford Corporate. Ford Corporate refused to generate an official case number, promised a callback, and abandoned the request. I am requesting NHTSA intervention to compel Ford Motor Company to honor the remedy mandated under Safety Recall 23V-905.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11751096,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/01/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"07/17/2026","vin":"1FADP3F29HL","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"The contact owns a 2017 Ford Focus.

During the event, the engine shook noticeably and made abnormal noises. No check engine light appeared during this initial incident.  This problem occurred multiple times over several days, most often when the fuel tank was below approximately half full. Each time, I was able to temporarily restore normal operation by shutting the vehicle off, waiting about one minute, and restarting it. After restarting, the vehicle would drive completely normally until the problem occurred again.  A few days later, while sitting in my vehicle during a work break, I started the engine and it immediately entered limp mode without being driven. A check engine light then illuminated, and the engine stalled shortly afterward.  The diagnostic trouble codes retrieved were:  * P1674 (Stored, Pending, Permanent, and Enhanced) * U0100 (Enhanced ABS Code)  A mechanic familiar with Ford vehicles suggested the symptoms could be related to the EVAP canister purge valve issue that has been investigated on similar Ford Focus models. He recommended keeping the fuel tank above half full as a test. Since keeping the fuel tank full, the limp mode condition has not reoccurred.  I took the vehicle to a Ford dealership to have the purge valve issue evaluated. The dealership declined to perform any purge valve-related repairs because they believed the problem was transmission-related and stated the engine issue would need to be repaired first.

Shortly after this, the vehicle was still displaying symptoms of running out of gas, even though the gauge said it had 3/4 tank still. Continued to drive it for a few months, but continued to get worse and the car almost died a couple of times while driving at highway speeds. This could have caused an accident because the engine was stalling while still in gear, causing the vehicle to suddenly jerk and decrease speed rapidly. Brought the vehicle back to Kruse Motors, Ford Service dealership and they found that the fuel tank was collapsing. The technician stated that this was most likely caused by the canister purge valve malfunction that was part of the recall. Because of this, they submitted a request to Ford to replace the tank and any necessary parts and labor as a result of this damage. Ford responded saying that they will not cover this as it is not part of the recall. I appealed to Ford customer service explaining that the damage was caused by the recall but they still refused to do anything about it. The dealership gave me a quote for $2600 to repair the issue.

I took the vehicle to a certified Ford dealership, and after performing a diagnostic inspection, they confirmed the transmission had failed and needs to be completely replaced. The symptoms are consistent with widespread issues linked to the DPS6 PowerShift dual-clutch transmission used in Ford Focus models from 2012 to 2018. Ford is aware of these defects, as documented in multiple Technical Service Bulletins (including TSBs 16-0109, 17-0044, and 18-2358), and several class action lawsuits.  Despite this being a known and well-documented defect, Ford has refused to provide any assistance or coverage for the repair, citing the expiration of the basic warranty. I believe this is a manufacturing defect that should be covered regardless of mileage due to the nature and safety risk of the failure.

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\u2014stemming from the malfunctioning purge valve\u2014should 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.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11635973,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/06/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"01/14/2025","vin":"1FADP3E2XHL","components":"FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE","summary":"The contact owns a 2017 Ford Focus.

The dual-clutch transmission (DPS6) lost access to reverse, 2nd gear and 4th and 6th gear, but was still able to shift into 1st, 3rd and 5th. Under these conditions, there is the possibility that the sheared off piece of aluminum can enter the gear train and cause the transmission to seize, putting passengers life at risk.

The problem has been confirmed by the local Ford dealership, who took pictures of the damage, including the piece of aluminum.

Recently, I have encountered multiple occurrences of stalling while driving on the highway.

After the first incident, the check engine light appeared and was addressed by a mechanic who believed it was likely the result of a vapor lock. The issue later reoccurred and left me stranded on the interstate in a rural location where I had to wait for several hours before being transported to a nearby hotel. The vehicle started again the following morning, and I was able to finish the trip. After conducting some research, I discovered two separate recalls (identified by the NHTSA Campaign IDs 18V735000 and 19V515000) that had been issued for cars of this model and encompassing the year of my vehicle\u2019s construction. The malfunction, as issued by a mechanic, fit the exact specifications of the recall; that is, malfunction of the canister purge valve, causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management systems, that can result in an engine stall while driving and without warning.  I was surprised to learn that my vehicle\u2019s VIN was not associated with any such recall; however, I was informed by my mechanic that a software update (18s32) had occurred on June 6, 2019, possibly removing association of the recall statement with my vehicle\u2019s VIN. I am unsure at this time of the extent of damage to the carbon canister, fuel tank, and fuel delivery module. The only issue visible from the exterior is a slight depression of the fuel tank caused by excessive vacuum. The canister purge valve was replaced on September 10, at a cost of $270.03.

This was surprising as the vehicle was only 2 years old at the time. The vehicle has particularly intense shuddering when accelerating from a stop on any slope, sometimes seeming as it can't make it up steeper inclines at all.   I took the vehicle to a Ford dealership 3 times within the first year or so of ownership (while it was still under warranty) and they replaced the clutch each time, even though this only helped the suddering for a short period (a month or two) each time. It was after this time (after the warranty had lapsed), that I realised transmission issues with my make and model were very common and similar to what I was experiencing.  The shuddering has persisted over the last 5 years, and has worstened in the last couple of years. Lately, the transmission issues have also included Slipping. Frequently, when accelerating, the vehicle will often not respond (or respond very slowly). This is especially true when shifting into or out of reverse. These issues make the vehicle a safety issue and should be addressed by Ford.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11596230,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"04/15/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"06/24/2024","vin":"1FADP3FE8HL","components":"ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING","summary":"The contact owns a 2017 Ford Focus.

One minute I was going 70mph with normal feeling and then suddenly the gas/acceleration stopped working and the car went down to around 20 mph within a second, suddenly it felt like being in neutral and I had no control. It would not respond to pressing the gas pedal. It started to buck and shake. Braking felt really erratic and strange and it lunged as I tried to get off the highway. Red transmission failure light came on with red blinking message to stop car immediately. It was terrifying and I could have been killed.  I was thankfully able to get to the shoulder to let it stop. We let it sit for about 15 minutes and turned it on again but it was the same. Gas did not respond normally. It was unable to go over 8mph and Reverse no longer worked.  It was towed home. It is dead now, nothing improved after sitting. Not worth the repair. Ford claimed this issue was fixed on the 2017 but clearly not, and some are a ticking time bomb like mine was. There was no prior indication of any problem- no strange feeling, no noises, no warning lights, no acceleration problems, etc.  It was obvious that it was the transmission that completely failed.

This has put my safety at risk because the car will not want to pull out sometimes its very jumpy and hesitant.

I think it is ridiculous that this has been an ongoing issue with ford cars since 2012 and it seems they won't do anything to fix the problem besides slap another clutch in for the same thing to happen down the road this is a scam it costs around 4500 to have tranny and clutches replaced by a dealership and the car doesn't even have 80000 miles on it. There is no reason an AUTOMATIC  car should be chewing itself apart every 80k for it to be taken and have a new transmission installed thats a big ask for someone who bought their car and relies solely on that vehicle for daily travel. And then add the stress now trying to figure out and wonder when and where this vehicle will leave you stranded or sitting next which is also a safety issue because the car will actually not even start at times because the \"clutch\" in an automatic car is stuck engaged. The codes were read multiple times  all finding the same issue for clutch B stuck engaged/ clutch b friction element stuck on. The problem doesn't need reproduced it never left . The car is being taken to place of purchase feb 5, no other issues or warnings have been visible prior to 2 days ago when it started the issue. It now will  not go in reverse at all, just acts like it's in neutral . The warning lamp illuminated  right after putting into reverse and it just reved and wouldn't move.

In August 2023, the vehicle experienced an engine failure at 53,000 miles. Subsequently, the car was at the Ford dealership for an extended period until the engine replacement was completed by the end of October 2023. Upon retrieving the car on [XXX], 2023, I encountered various issues, including coolant leakage, problems with coolant pressure, braking issues (resulting in extensive vibrations), and the engine stalling in traffic. While the coolant problem was eventually resolved after four additional visits to the dealership, involving adjustments to pressure, replacement of thermostats, sensors, and the cooling reservoir, the persistent issues with the engine stalling and braking were not addressed, even after multiple extended visits to the dealership. Despite having the car for several weeks during each visit, the problems persisted. We retrieved the car before Christmas and reported the ongoing issues to the dealership, but due to international travel plans, I was unable to return the car for further inspection. We have returned from our travels on [XXX] 2024. On [XXX], 2024, my son was driving to the gym with friends when, while in a central left turn lane to enter the gym, the engine failed again. Unfortunately, another vehicle approaching from the right side collided with him, while he was stationary, resulting in the total loss of the car. In November 2023, I initiated a case with Ford, requesting them to repurchase the vehicle due to numerous safety concerns, and the case number is [XXX]. Despite reporting issues to both Ford and the dealership (which was able to reproduce them), resolution has been delayed, and Ford seems to be procrastinating in addressing the situation. It is crucial to note that the Ford Focus SE 2017 model appears to have inherent issues with gaskets, and it appears that Ford may be concealing these concerns.

Trying to accelerate from 0mph was hit or miss, and any time I went over 10 mph it would shift back and forth from neutral to a lower gear than it should have for the speed I was going, then back to neutral. It loses power or shifts into neutral driving down the interstate sometimes, or going up hills.

I am the owner of a Ford Focus [2017], and unfortunately, I have experienced a critical issue with the transmission. After conducting thorough research, it has come to my attention that a substantial number of Ford Focus owners are grappling with similar transmission failures. This widespread problem is causing distress among Ford customers and has the potential to pose serious safety hazards.  The transmission failures in Ford Focus vehicles have been well-documented, and the frequency of reported incidents indicates a systemic issue that warrants immediate attention. As a loyal customer of Ford, I believe it is crucial for the company to take responsibility for these recurring problems and take proactive measures to rectify them.  Several reasons support the urgent need for a recall:  Safety Concerns: The transmission failures in Ford Focus vehicles can result in sudden loss of power, delayed acceleration, and unpredictable shifts. These issues pose a significant safety risk, especially during highway driving or in emergency situations. The potential for accidents and injuries is alarming and demands swift action.  In light of these concerns, I urge Ford Motor Company to initiate a recall for Ford Focus vehicles affected by transmission failures. By taking proactive steps to address this issue, you will not only ensure the safety and satisfaction of your customers but also uphold the integrity of the Ford brand.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11560438,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"11/16/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"12/16/2023","vin":"1FADP3FE9HL","components":"ENGINE","summary":"While driving on interstate, an oil light came on and vehicle slowed rapidly causing a very unsafe situation with attempting to safely pull over.

The car is 6 years old, I am still making payments on it, has a little over 50,000 miles on it, has been maintained by Ford every year since I bought it, and the transmission and extended warranty had just expired about 2 months ago. A few weeks ago, I'm driving down the freeway around 1pm Pacific, traveling about 60mph when the engine seemed to 'seize up', the engine light came ON, the car jerked several times creating a severely dangerous driving hazard as I tried to keep it under control. It slowly began losing speed, so I made my way off the freeway and made my way to the Ford dealer who had been maintaining the car. It felt like the car was going to stall any minute so I'm lucky I got to the dealer. It took them a few days to get back to me, and they then told me the entire engine and 'boost system' needed to be replaced at a cost of approx. $7,000 (probably just to get another defective engine). They tried to work with Ford to get some financial assistance since this is obviously a defective car, but Ford refused.The dealer suggested I call Ford, so I did, and spoke with a rep and a supervisor on May 22, told them their car was defective and my life had been put in danger, and they both told me they wouldn't help in any way. As I write this, the dealer has ordered parts and am awaiting repairs. I will have been without a car for 3 weeks, paying for Lyft and borrowing cars to get to work. I understand there's a class action lawsuit (Barnes et al vs Ford, US District Court of Delaware Case 1:22-cv-00823).

The lights changed and traffic is moving across leaving me in an unsafe situation and the other drivers having cars traveling 55 nearly rear ending them. There is no warning of this failure they suddenly happen and can cause issues where you\u2019re stuck at a light or cannot get through an intersection. I tried to bring my car in and they told me they had 80,000 focus cars ahead of me and that they wouldn\u2019t be able to fix my car due to a chip shortage. 80,000 other ford focus with this same issue is clear to me they\u2019ve never resolved the matter and continued allowing these unsafe cars to be on the road. If this happens on a busy freeway, intersection, or anywhere on the road its a serious issue. There needs to be a full recall on the transmissions control module, the two clutch actuators, and the shift forks. Because of the design the TCM first fails causing the actuators to rotate and sheer of the pin from the castings, causing the shift forks to come loose. The only way to fix it because of all the diat created when this happens is to replace the dual clutch, TCM, both external actuators and shift fork A and shift fork B. Of course they sold two more years of the same model they\u2019ve previously recalled and were part in a class action settlement that requires they replace these unsafe components. I cannot be the only person to report this safety issue. It nearly caused me to get hit on the road and I\u2019m lucky to be alive. The next person may not be so lucky.

Once per year I find myself at a dealership because my Focus starts to shudder after acceleration from a full stop.  This phenomena shakes the vehicle, alerting everyone inside that something is wrong.  No warning lights appear on the dash from discovery of the problem until servicing.  Once the shuddering starts happening, it will happen more and more frequently until it cannot be ignored and the vehicle needs to be fixed.  I don't haul trailers.  There are not that many miles on the Focus (under 60,000).  I've even adjusted my driving habits to change speeds as gradually as possible so as to not put any undue strain on the transmission.  Nevertheless, the problem keeps reoccurring and I keep having to lean on the existing powertrain warranty to get rid of the problem... temporarily.  Within a year, it always comes back.  This year is no different.  I am currently trying to get the Focus serviced once more before my \"60,000 mile/5 year\" powertrain warranty expires on October 3rd, 2022.    This issue is forcing me to consider selling a car in wonderful condition because I can't afford to replace clutch arrays out of pocket every year.  The alternative is to forgo the servicing and roll the dice with a spotty transmission.  I dare say that can't last.  I've talked numerous times with people at the dealership.  Everyone I have spoken with acknowledges that this is a known issue with the 2017's.  Prior vehicle years have been recalled for transmission troubles.  How is the 2017 Focus any different?  How hasn't a recall been started already?  I'm attaching the service records from the dealerships.  Ford Customer Care directed me to the NHTSA, but nothing more.  I am hoping someone can help me to either extend this warranty with Ford (at no additional cost to me for a manufacturer defect) or get the need for a recall acknowledged by Ford.  Thank you and God bless.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11485737,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/16/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"09/21/2022","vin":"1FADP3N28HL","components":"FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM","summary":"Purge valve failure causing stalling","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FOCUS","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11485496,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/20/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"09/20/2022","vin":"1FADP3H23HL","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"2017 Ford Focus, continuous transmission problems.

I am a very cautious, defensive driver but had to really baby the car to try to avoid the shuddering and learned to shift around 9 mph for 1st gear and 19 mph for 2nd gear. However as the year progressed, the issue became worse and had to schedule a diagnostic test at Roush Ford in Hilliard Ohio in December which cost me $150, and place not only a financial burden upon me but also those who had to help me get to and from the dealership and appointments and church.  Then in January 2022, my car was in the shop for 8 days while Roush Ford repaired the transmission by replacing the clutch that Ford continues to use in the vehicles even knowing it is a problem, which cost me $778.51.  This has been going on since 2013 when there was a class action lawsuit for the Ford Focus between 2013 and 2016. Now there is another one for the same Ford Focus from 2017 to 2019. My car wasn't even 4 years old when the problem originated and had less than 59,000 miles on it.  I only made last year $1,032 per month so this was a huge burden as well as a huge inconvenience for mevand my friends. Its amazing this problem did not cause any accident as I expected to be rearended every time I had to drive it.

I thought I let the car get too low on E too, so I didn't think too much about it at the time as it didn't seem to happen for quite some time again. I filled my car all the way full at the first occurrence and mcurrently gets 29.8mpg. It started being consistently a problem when I started to refill on half a tank of gas or lower. The car starts to work harder and you can feel it wanting to die while I'm driving. The battery light does not stay on or come on the dash after the car starts so I know it wasn't the alternator at the time either.  I was parked on a slight incline at under a quarter tank and I had to put my car in neutral and roll start it. It wasn't drastic or anything but the car was being weird and idling hard, but my RPMs stayed at normal levels. It just was shaking after starting. That's when I realized that the gasoline tank was not only having issues after I pumped gas. My check engine finally came on and a valve sensor for the gas tank was signaled. The car seems to run harder after starting up and it finally died on me while I was parked and idling.

THE SOUND SEEMS TO COME DIRECTLY FROM THE TRANSMISSION AREA AND IS IN SYNC WITH THE CHANGING OF GEARS. UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL MAKE GRINDING SOUNDS AND STUTTER THE ENTIRE CAR IN A JERKING-TYPE MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE ENTIRE CAR FEELS AS IF THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER AND MAKES IT HARD TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY IN HIGH-SPEED/HIGH-TRAFFIC AREAS (SUCH AS FREEWAY ON-RAMPS OR STATE HIGHWAYS.) I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS THING BECAUSE IF I WERE TO PASS SOMEONE ON A DOTTED LINE, OR EVEN PULL OUT ONTO A ROADWAY, THE CAR MAY EITHER STALL OR STUTTER SO SLOWLY THAT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET UP TO SPEED CORRECTLY, RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE COLLISION.
