    The capless gas tank is trapping air, causing the car to "burp" and sometimes turning engine off even when driving. This has happened numerous times in the last 8 months. But more frequently lately. I was driving down the interstate and my engine cut off from it. Went to get it checked out and the service centers keep giving me the same response everywhere.

    I have had absolutely nothing but problems with this car. Haven't been able to drive it for two years because it's problem after problem. First the transmission went out and we spent 3000 to fix it just for it to get home and start knocking in the engine. Now the car won't even turn over or even turn on. I've heard of so many recalls on this car and it's extremely unsafe and i'm too scared to even take it back in to…

    For the past year, my focus has been having issues with the clutch, and in the past it has had a recall for this exact problem. However, i never got a letter or call for this recall.

When i contacted ford they said they can't help financially and therefore i have to pay the $3000 to fix…

    It all started one day after i purchased my 2014 focus car from a dealer. When i pull out from a stop sign or when accelerating as the light turns green, the car hesitates and sputters before finally kicking into gear. It seems to be fine once it settles into place but it's pretty scary until it does. I dread when i have to slow down or stop. It seemed to be close to breaking down or stalling on a few occasions. I'm…
