Description of the problem	The 2014 ford focus s comes standard with traction control which uses both the abs module and the pcm torque control to control the vehicles motion relative to the intended course. This is done through two ways: 1) the abs module continuously monitors and compares the rotational speed of the drive wheels in relation to the non-driven wheels. At the same time, the abs module calculates how much engine torque reduction is required to eliminate the wheel slip. In snowy (+2-3?), icy or slippery surfaces where both front tires are equally in the same condition, the abs module modulates brake pressure to both brake caliper (s) to stop any wheel spin. 2) at the same time, the abs module sends a message to the pcm to reduce the engine torque to the requested level. With both brakes being applied and engine torque reduced to a near ? Idle? State with the accelerator at ? Full throttle?, the car immediately becomes stuck. Because the ford focus s does not have the ability to disable the traction control, my wife and kids have continuously been stranded in a car that will apply the brakes and reduce the engine rpm? S resulting in a car that will not move in extremely dangerous situations. As a consequence, the car has been required to be towed many times in below zero conditions because we are unable to disable the traction control. Death or severe injury is our concern because "by design", the car becomes disabled when snowy intersections and highways are encountered. Our disabled vehicle could result in any oncoming traffic to slam into our vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
