After having a recall done in december of 2018 for the canister purge valve, or know as recall 18s32 all that was performed was a reprogram and nothing else. A year later my vehicle is experiencing the same problems as before, the vehicle only has 65k miles on it. I contacted multiple ford dealerships as well as ford's corporate offices and was told that i would have to come out of my own pocket for any repairs that…

Had recall service done for fuel tank deformation issue or so the dealerships says. But after i the car back it seems to be running great but 5 miles down the road it stalls on me and fails to crank when it did it wouldnt continue to run or idle for long before stalling again. After 30 mo s or so of priming fuel pump and retrying and letting set. It cranks up and runs fine. Recall needs to be further researched or…

Recall notice was 'software' update to detect hardware issue. No issue detected. The hardware that had issued failed 2 weeks later. Ford states that the recall was completed and cannot open. The equipment (canister valve) that the recall was created for failed.

We have had a repeated code p090c that has ultimately led us to the clutch actuators which are controlled by the tcm. This has caused the transmission to jump into other gears while driving, preventing the movement of the car once parked/then engaged into reverse stops working. Within the 24 hour period, the codes disappear then the mechanics cannot diagnose or confirm the issue??? I purchased my own code tester and…

This complaint is in regards to the ford focus/fiesta dps6 transmission issue. Due to the dry dual clutch system issue, the vehicle engine would shake and rumble violently while moving. This mostly occurs when the supposedly automatic transmission shifting from the first and second gear. The first time i reported this to the dealer, they replaced the clutch which stopped the rumble issue until few months later, the…

Engine was stalling when i came to stops, check engline light came on. Code was for evap system. It was found the canister purge valve was faulty, causing the engine stalling. Keeping the gas tank filled above half tank alleviates the problem. We replaced the purge valve but the check engine light remains on as we cannot reprogram the pcm and i cant afford to let my car sit at ford for three days before they even…

Car constantly has issues stuttering when trying to accelerate. It causes shaking in the car and only lightly lessens when the gas tank is over halfway full and/or has a recent oil change. Already had a few parts replaced concerning the cpv because the gas pedal ceased functioning whilst driving on the interstate. I've gotten the recall notice letter but no full solution has been offered yet.

My 2015 ford focus has been having stalling issues. My vin# is on the recall list and the letter that i received from 12/2018 advised that i keep at least half a tank of gas in my car. However, my car stalls even when i keep a full tank. My car also shudders and sometimes even turns off after i fill my gas tank. When my car is about to stall, i see that the tachometer will suddenly fluctuate and then simply drop to…

The ford focus recall for the fuel tank deformation is not accurate. The recall letter we received said to maintain at least 1/2 tank of fuel, but my car has shut down multiple times while driving on the highway and at turnarounds despite having a full tank. The solution to this was previously announced for december 2018 and has been postponed until the first quarter of 2019. Ford needs to be further pressured to…
