2013 Ford Focus Electric Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“So I was driving home last night in the rain and the speedometer was jumping around a little and the traction control flashed a couple times and I thought 'oh it's just cause the rain' well today the same thing was happening while I was driving. Then I got a warning light saying 'low brake fluid' and the brakes locked up while I was doing 30mph. It went away and drove fine but it will pop up every 4 miles or so saying low brake fluid”

“While exiting a parking lot in late afternoon, I coasted to a stop at the signal light before exiting onto the street. Car lost power, and I was unable to restart it for about 5 minutes. I tried the trick I'd read about of putting the car in park, opening the door and closing it, then trying to restart to no avail. Eventually restarted and I continued on my route.”

“Driving our electric Ford focus to work when left-most display screen flashes, stop safely now! Message at the same moment that all drive power is completely cut off. Coasted to a stop, turned the car off, waited a minute or so, and turned car back on. Fortunately this occurred at 5:30 am on a two lane road, shortly after leaving my home, and before entering the interstate.”

“Driving the vehicle home when warning lights began to flash on the dash saying to check owners manual and to pull over. The gas pedal became unresponsive and I coasted up to a red light at a left turn signal and stopped, put on my hazard lights. Eventually turned vehicle off then on again and was able to drive it home. Second incident was on 9/29/13, and had 2863 miles on it. While driving to dinner the same warning lights appeared on dash, and we lost power. …”

“The engine abruptly shuts down as I was driving on surface street. I was able to restart the car after numerous attempts to restart. I received the same message other Ford Focus Electric vehicle received, stop safely now .”
