2014 ford focus has a defective horn and does not sound, only clicks and lights flash, when pressing the key fob or the steering wheel. A 2012 focus driven by a family member has the same problem. I could not warn another car that he was drifting into my lane and he almost hit my car. There should be a recall and ford should fix the defective focus horns that a lot of people are having problems with.

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…

I recently brought my 2014 focus in to the dealer, because the trunk would not open. According to the ford dealer, this is a known issue, and the wiring needed to be replaced. Although i paid the whopping $421.30 for the repair, including a $120 diagnostic fee, i feel that ford should take responsibility since this is a known issue unrelated to normal wear and tear on a vehicle and issue a recall.

Whenever i take off from stopping the car acts like it's trying to catch up with the engine and gears. This happens almost every time i accelerate after coming to a stop.

The 2014 ford focus only has one door lock/unlock button which is located on the front middle panel near the radio controls. There are no manual lock/unlock mechanisms on any of the doors - if a crash occured, how would anyone in the back seat be able to get out if the driver is unable to push the button for them? That seems like an unsafe decision for a vehicle made for multiple passengers. Second, occasionally…
