• 12/31/2014· POWER TRAIN

  THE CAR STARTED JERKING FORWARD AT A STOP LIGHT - TURNED THE HEAT OFF AND IT STOPPED JERKING. PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT STARTED REVVING ITSELF AND JERKING FORWARD (MADE IT UP TO 2000RMP BEFORE I COULD TURN IT OFF). WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING FORWARD - BEFORE I COULD TURN THE HEAT OFF THE CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR JERKED FORWARD: IDLE, PARK AND OCCASIONALLY IN DRIVE. I KNOW THAT OTHER FORD MODELS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND I BELIEVE THAT FORD RECALLED AND FIXED THE OTHER MODELS. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THE FOCUS IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER MODELS DID. MAYBE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE FOCUS ALSO. *JS

  DOORS RANDOMLY FAIL TO OPEN FROM INSIDE. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS THE REAR DOORS AND CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED FROM THE MASTER (FRONT) RELEASE. IT ACTS AS IF THE CHILD LOCK IS ENGAGED, BUT HAVE VERIFIED IT IS NOT. I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM NUMEROUS OWNERS, SO WILL HAVE IT CHECKED AT THE NEXT SERVICE VISIT. JUST WANTED TO ADD MY CAR TO THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. *JS

  WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD SHIFT UP AND DOWN AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS SHUTTER THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT IT HAD TO BE OVERHAULED

• 12/30/2017· SERVICE BRAKES

  WHEN STOPPING OR DRIVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON SERVICE TRAC MESSAGE APPEARS ALARMS GO OFF AND THERE IS NO BRAKES AT ALL. A FEW TIMES YOU CAN TURN CAR OFF TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN AND THEN THE BRAKES WORK BUT RECENTLY THEY WOUKD WORK AT ALL HAD CAR TOWED TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WAS CHARGED 140.00 TO RESET THE PCM THEY SAID COMPUTER COMMUNICATION FAILER. TODAY 24 HOURS AFTER GETTING CAR BACK WENT TO STOO AT A STOP SIGN AND NO BRAKES AND ALL THE ALARMS CAME ON AGAIN I TURNED THE CAR OFF TURNED IT ON AND BRAKES WORKED BIT I DROVE IT STRAIGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THIS ISN'T NORMAL AND A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AS WELL. I CANT SEE HOW FORD CAN ALLOW THIS TO NOT BE A COVERED ISSUE AND HOW THEY ARE OK WITH COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL.

IT WAS AS IF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR HAD STALLED, BUT EVEN WORSE. AN ERROR LIGHT CAME ON THE LEFT PANEL SAYING "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" AND THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY PULL OVER. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY STARTED IT UP. ALL WAS FINE WITH NO LIGHTS OR BELLS. I CALLED FORD AND EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE TO THE FORD DEALER FOR SERVICING. THEY'VE, OF COURSE, NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED. IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A COMPUTER / ELECTRONIC PROBLEM. FORD KEPT THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS IN THEIR GARAGE AND THEY DROVE IT AROUND AND RUN THEY DIAGNOSTICS AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND OUT ANY CODE OR PROBLEM AND THEY CANNOT HELP. I TOOK THE CAR OUT AND DROVE FOR 3 DAYS AND IT WAS FINE BUT ON THE 4TH DAY THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. BREAK FAILED TO WORK AND COME UP WITH 'AN ERROR LIGHT CAME ON THE LEFT PANEL SAYING "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" AND THE PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON'. FORD ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP AND THEIR GARAGE CANNOT HELP EITHER BUT THERE IS KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL.

  TAKATA RECALL-DROPPED MY 2010 FUSION OFF ON WEDNESDAY AFTER 4 MONTHS WAITING FOR THE PART TO BE IN. ASKED TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE DONE WHILE IT WAS BEING WORKED ON. I GO TO PICK IT UP SATURDAY AND DROP OFF THE RENTAL ONLY TO FIND MY VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING FAULT, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC SYSTEM. I RECENTLY HERNIATED A DISC IN MY BACK AND DO NOT POSSESS THE STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL, RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. MY FUSION NEVER LEFT THE SERVICE BAY. I GET A CALL MONDAY FROM SHEEHY FORD SERVICE, TELLING ME THAT I NEED A NEW RACK AND PINION TO THE TUNE OF $2400, DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC STEERING BEING AN ENCLOSED UNSERVICEABLE SYSTEM. SHEEHY REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY CAUSED THIS FAILURE DURING THE COURSE OF MY OIL CHANGE AND RECALL REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THEY QUOTED ME $1049 FOR AN AFTER MARKET RACK AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR IT IF I COULD PROVE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THEY DID TO CAUSE THE FAILURE. AFTER HOURS OF SPEAKING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND ASSISTANT MANAGER THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY STOPPED PAYING FOR THE RENTAL WHEN I DID NOT DRIVE MY UNSAFE VEHICLE HOME. BY WEDNESDAY WAITING FOR A RETURN PHONE CALL ABOUT ANY OTHER OPTIONS AND CALLING FORD BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING ON 11S AND 12S, AS SUGGESTED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD AN ORDER THE AFTER MARKET RACK. THURSDAY THEY CALL TO TELL ME ITS READY. AS I RUN HOME TO GRAB THE KEYS FOR THE RENTAL, LEAVING IT IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WITH MY PHONE, COMPUTER, AND OTHER ITEMS STILL INSIDE, FORD HAD SENT A TOW TRUCK TO REPOSSESS THE RENTAL. COUNTY POLICE BEING CALLED, RENTAL TOWED, CAB TO THE DEALER, PAY THE $1049, AND END UP GETTING CHARGED OVER $300 BY THE RENTAL COMPANY SINCE FORD REFUSED TO PAY WHILE THE POWER STEERING ISSUE WAS BEING ARGUED. UNSAFE AND ABSOLUTELY APPALLING BY SHEEHY AND FORD.

• 12/21/2013· POWER TRAIN

  DRIVING UP TO FREEWAY ON RAMP WHEN ORANGE WRENCH INDICATING A POWERTRAIN PROBLEM APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. HAD JUST GOTTEN ONTO THE FREEWAY, THEN ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE FREEWAY, BEGAN HAVING A DRASTIC LOSS OF POWER UNTIL I WAS DOWN TO 20-25 MPH. TURNED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND MADE MY WAY TO THE RIGHT LANE AND MANAGED TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY WITHOUT GETTING STRUCK FROM BEHIND. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, AND THE CAR RAN WITHOUT A PROBLEM, FULL POWER BACK ONTO THE FREEWAY. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS INCIDENT REPEATED ITSELF MULTIPLE TIMES AGAIN, WITH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE ESSENTIALLY SHUTTING DOWN THE MOTOR AND FORCING ME TO DRIVE AT SPEEDS SO SLOW AS TO BE UNSAFE. PROBLEM IS REMEDIED TEMPORARILY BY SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION AND TURNING IT BACK ON, WITH THE ENGINE BEHAVING COMPLETELY NORMALLY UNTIL THE ORANGE WRENCH REAPPEARS WHICH GIVES ME SHORT NOTICE THAT THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WILL SOON SHUT DOWN THE POWER TO THE CAR CREATING A SUPREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN TRAFFIC. MADE IT TO THE DEALER TODAY, PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY OBD 2 CODE P2112 INDICATED A STUCK CLOSED THROTTLE BODY. REPAIRED NO CHARGE UNDER THE 5 YEAR/60,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE REPAIR CHARGES (FROM THE FORD DEALER) ARE ESTIMATED TO BE $2391. FOR A CAR THAT'S BARELY 6 YEARS OLD AND IN OTHERWISE GREAT CONDITION (~80,000 MILES) TO HAVE A SUDDEN FAILURE THAT WOULD LEAD TO EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS IS RIDICULOUS. I WORRY, BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ FROM OTHER USERS ONLINE, THAT IF WE HADN'T BEEN ABOUT 1 MINUTE FROM OUR DESTINATION THAT THE POWER STEERING WOULD HAVE JUST SHUT OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS ON SUCH A CURVY ROAD. *TR

THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THAT FORD WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO ORDER THE AIRBAGS FOR THE RECALL. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT FORD MADE ME WAIT MONTHS FOR AIRBAGS TO FIX MY UNSAFE CAR.

MEDIA REPORTS THE RECALL INCLUDES 2010 VEHICLES MADE IN HERMOSILLO, MEXICO. FORD DID TELL ME THAT MINE WAS MANUFACTURED THERE AT THE END OF FEBRUARY 2010 AND DID SAY THAT MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED, BUT WILL NOT TELL ME WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE VEHICLES BUILT THERE DURING FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2010 ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN CORRESPONDING WITH THEM VIA EMAIL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW AND THEY CONTINUALLY EVADE ANSWERING MY CONCERN. THE COMPANY'S LAST MESSAGE SAID THE INFORMATION I AM REQUESTING IS NOT AVAILABLE. IT IS SURPRISING TO BE TOLD BY A MODERN MANUFACTURING FACILITY LIKE FORD THAT IT DOES NOT KNOW HOW MANY UNITS IT MANUFACTURED DURING A GIVEN PERIOD OF TIME AT A SPECIFIC FACILITY. WHY WOULD THEY REFUSE TO PROVIDE SUCH INFORMATION UNLESS IT WOULD REVEAL THAT ALL THE VEHICLES BUILT AT HERMOSILLO IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2010 CONTAIN THE DEFECT? THIS IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLING TO ME BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A FUEL ISSUE AND PUTS ONE IN MIND OF THE CORVAIR SITUATION.
