“On 10/07/15 I took my 2014 Ford Focus in to check air pressure on tires after the TPMS light turned on a couple days prior when I was driving on the way to work on normal pavement. They checked the tires and found leaks on right front and rear tires. Ford mechanic told me they were unrepairable. He tried getting me into new tires but why if I only had 12000 miles on them. I didn't understand. When I asked if the waranty covered he said they didn't but im sure it does.”

“Previously, due to the transmission shifting into reverse while the gear selector is in d drive, I backed into a female pedestrian hitting her and almost running her over. There are still scratches from her rings on my back bumper. Ford has performed numerous TSB's and recalls to fix the issue. Upon the most recent TSB and recall update, I was promised it would take care of any issues, including an issue where the vehicle would shudder and search for a gear before engaging and spinning out from a complete stop. …”

“Ford Focus is highly vulnerable to electric defects in which indicators appear for a long period of time after being attained to, brake tends to slip unexpectedly, bluetooth has stopped working, usb ports,brake lamp faults. My main concern for other drivers and my self is the vulnerability to sharp turn and the crucial acceleration delays. These problems were attained to and maintained by Ford multiple times, problems occur within 1-2weeks after maintenance. I'm concerned even more about the performance and shaking at high speed as well that hasn't been revised.”

“Low tire pressure light appears every two to three weeks. At least one tire needs to be inflated, sometimes more than one tire needs to be inflated. The Ford dealer inflates them usually. Tire pro has also inflated tires. Ford doesn't tell me what problem is, they just keep inflating the tires. Light appears when vehicle is being driven on a city street, highway, turning and stationary. Also, vehicle shudders on acceleration from the moment I purchased vehicle. Took vehicle to Ford service department. Vehicle doesn't shudder as bad as before but still has issue.”
