SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHILE IN MOTION, WRENCH LIGHT COMING ON. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER HAS ALMOST BEEN INVOLVED IN A COUPLE OF SERIOUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS. I UNDERSTAND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, BUT WHILE FORD HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON EXPLORERS AND A FEW OTHER MODELS SO OWNERS CAN HAVE NEW PARTS INSTALLED, IT HAS NOT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO THE FOCUS ' THIS DESPITE THOUSANDS OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS FROM FOCUS OWNERS. THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME ABOUT $700, AND I CANNOT AFFORD IT. I WILL NEVER AGAIN PURCHASE A FORD.

ENGINE SURGED/FADED A FEW TIMES LATELY AND TWICE THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON, BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID NO CODES WERE REPORTED AND THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS. TODAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE SPEED SUDDENLY DECELERATED TO 0 SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID BEING HIT FROM BEHIND. THE WRENCH SYMBOL DISPLAYED AGAIN. AFTER TURNING THE KEY OFF/ON THE WRENCH WAS GONE AND THE CAR STARTED MOVING NORMALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEED. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE SAME ACTION REPEATED BIT WHILE SLEEPING ON THE SHOULDER I HIT A METAL OBSTRUCTION ON THE ROAD WHICH A CAUSED A FLAT TIRE.

WE OWN A 2010 FORD FOCUS AND FOR THE PAST 6 WEEKS WE HAVE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR DOES NOT SHUT OFF BUT ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE IS GONE. ONCE WE STOP THE CAR, TURN IT OFF AND RESTART IT, THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE IS RESTORED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST SIX WEEKS. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS ON A FOUR LANE ROAD WHEN THERE IS NO CHANCE TO COAST OVER TO THE SIDE AND YOU HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART IT. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN TURNING ONTO A BUSY FOUR LANE ROAD FROM A SHOPPING CENTER. WE WERE TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC WITH PLENTY OF ROOM AND TIME TO MAKE THE TURN UNTIL WE LOST ACCELERATION, PUTTING US IN HARMS WAY WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. FORTUNATELY THE ONCOMING DRIVERS WERE PAYING ATTENTION AND STOPPED WHILE WE WERE STOPPED, TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTARTING TO REGAIN ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. IN RESEARCHING ONLINE AND TALKING TO THE LOCAL FORD MECHANIC, IT LOOKS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FOCUS. THE PROBLEM CENTERS AROUND THE THROTTLE BODY AND SENSORS, CAUSING A DISENGAGEMENT WITH THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. SO FAR WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE AND HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BUT I CAN NO LONGER PUT MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. IT IS JUST TOO UNSAFE WITH THIS ISSUE.

WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE SPEED REACHES ABOUT 40 MPH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR REDUCES SPEED AND YOU CAN PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WILL GO NO FASTER THAN 30 MPH. THE ONLY FIX IS TO HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH ON THE DASH AND THIS TURNS THE TRACTION OFF AND ALLOWS YOU NOT TO GET KILLED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO SEE IF ANY TROUBLE CODES WOULD POP UP AND THE SCAN SAID THE CAR WAS FINE NO ISSUES. WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR IT TELLS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY .IT WILL NOT BE LONG UNTIL SOME ONE GETS TO AN INTERSECTION AND A TRUCK IS BARRING DOWN ON THEM AND THE CAR WILL NOT SAFELY ACCELERATE TO GET YOU OUT OF DANGER. I HAVE FOUND NOTHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I WILL TRY TO SELL IT BACK TO A DEALERSHIP. SAD THING IS WE STILL OWE $5000. ON IT BUT DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT. NEW CAR TIME, SKIPPING FORDS THIS TIME UNTIL THEY TAKE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR STARTED JERKING FORWARD AT A STOP LIGHT - TURNED THE HEAT OFF AND IT STOPPED JERKING. PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT STARTED REVVING ITSELF AND JERKING FORWARD (MADE IT UP TO 2000RMP BEFORE I COULD TURN IT OFF). WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING FORWARD - BEFORE I COULD TURN THE HEAT OFF THE CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR JERKED FORWARD: IDLE, PARK AND OCCASIONALLY IN DRIVE. I KNOW THAT OTHER FORD MODELS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND I BELIEVE THAT FORD RECALLED AND FIXED THE OTHER MODELS. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THE FOCUS IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER MODELS DID. MAYBE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE FOCUS ALSO. *JS

I DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR EACH WAY TO WORK AND BACK. DURING THIS TRIP I AM SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON TWO LANE MAJOR ACCESS ROADWAYS WITH SPEEDS OF 55 MPH. DRIVING AT A STEADY 60 MPH THROUGHOUT MOST OF MY TRIP, I HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE ORANGE WRENCH THAT SIGNIFIES "LIMP HOME MODE" CAME ON. SINCE HALF OF MY TRIP IS ON ROADS THAT ARE RURAL IN AMENITIES, I WAS UNABLE TO LIMP TO THE NEAREST FORD DEALERSHIP OR AUTO PARTS PLACE THE OFFER TESTING SERVICES. I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD BE DONE UNDER A ROLL AS IT IS A 5SPD. THE CAR RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AND RAN PERFECT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME (ABOUT 25 MILES). THIS VEHICLE RAN FINE FOR THREE MORE WEEKS AND THEN BEGAN DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED THE MOST IS THAT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO DO THIS OVER 60 MPH AS ONE DAY A WEEK I AM TRAVELING AT MORE HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70 ISH) AND IT HAS NEVER DONE THIS UNDER THAT TYPE OF LOAD. THIS HAD BEEN AN OFF AND ON OCCURRENCE SINCE APRIL, YET HAS BECOME MORE COMMON. I BORROWED A SCAN TOOL FROM MY NEIGHBOR, DROVE THE CAR WITH IT PLUGGED IN, AND TODAY CAME UP WITH TWO CODES IN LESS THAN 11 MILES OF DRIVING. P2135 AND P2111 WHICH WHEN I CONTACTED MY FORD SERVICE TECHNICIAN CAME OUT TO BE THROTTLE BODY CODES. TO DATE IT HAS HAPPENED 27 TIMES WHILE DRIVING, HAS NOT LEFT ME STRANDED, YET, BUT HAS CAUSED RAPID DECELERATION IN SOME HEAVY TRAFFIC. CAR DOES RESET ITSELF AND RUNS FINE FOR A WHILE RIGHT AFTER, HOWEVER I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BECOME MUCH MORE OF A HAZARD AS TIME GOES ON. CURRENTLY HAS 74,500 MILES ON CAR. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION/DRIVE TRAIN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. IT STAYED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE TURNING OFF. I BEGAN TO LOOK FOR THE NEXT EXIT TO GET OFF AND TAKE A LOOK. AFTER ANOTHER MILE, THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON, ONLY THIS TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH IT. THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF AND MY CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED. THE ENGINE ALSO STARTED TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY. I STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST FACILITY, THINKING THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AT THE SHOP, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAD BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL OTHER MODELS OF FORD VEHICLES AND CALLED THEM. THEY WERE TOLD THAT MINE WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL AND NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
