I got a letter later that month after my car had been to ford and checked out, saying the part was recalled in october. I was not notified prior and it is very…

Now that i'm reading all of these reviews that are very similar to mine i need answers. My car was shuddering when i first made the purchase, but i was told those types of cars just drive like that. Ford said that my…

The car randomly stalls and dies while i am driving it. It has died on the interstate and on rural roads and highways. This is very dangerous and there is currently a recall out on a part of the 2014 ford focus which causes this problem. It dies when i am driving and coasting, when i accelerate, and when i have my cruise set.

It is deafening and extremely startling to the driver as well as any passengers. My 2 year old cries and covers his ears, so much that he has to wear hearing protection on our 45 minute commute back home. It'll even make the sound after i have shut the car off. Once off, opening the…
