 Description of the problemI previously had a 2012 ford focus, which left me stranded in the middle of a bridge after a recall part broke. (ford in the letter sent on the recall stated they could not fix the part that broke until it broke). So i had to wait until that day happened. That was the second strike against them. I had already been in for diagnostic checks and reprogramming several times over the years i owned the car. Then they had to replace the clutch and tcm; kept my car for 3-4 days. So after all that was fixed i traded and got a 2014 ford focus hatchback. All that stuff was supposed to be behind me and no glitches in this year. After 15,000 miles was put on the car the clutch started acting up again and progressively got worse. The shuttering and stuttering become so bad i thought my car was going to fall apart. From a dead stop to a go (20-30 mph) it had such a hard time shifting gears that the rpm's would just take off. Grinding noises under the car upon acceleration. When in cruise control it would just lose speed on it's own, cruise set for 60mph and rpm"s would just drop outta no where like the car was about to stall. Took it in and sure enough new clutch and seals were already needed (this car was purchased in april 2015 and the clutch went out in january 2016). They kept the car a wk (at no time was i offered a rental) had to borrow my parents vehicles to get around; my husband needed his car. Had the car back a wk and have already taken it in to be reprogrammed b/c yet again we are having shuttering and stuttering issues as well as problems upon acceleration. When i check 2014 focus recalls there are some major recalls. I was issued a recall on my vin# for the tcm already. They have increased my warranty to 100,000 b/c they know i will be back for more repairs and the service guy stated replacing the clutch is only temporary, i will be back for a new one again and again.

  • 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.
