5 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 08/06/2022

My 2014 Ford Focus titanium experiences bucks and jerking on a daily basis. I will be making turns crossing large streets and I will have a chance to go and when I do the car will stall and the power will come back almost getting me killed by oncoming traffic. Also at red lights or stop signs I will stop and then press the gas only to have the car go a little and then stall or jerk/buck in which the person behind me (especially at red lights) thinks I'm going and goes only to have me stop and then they almost hit my back (I actually had one person tap my back bumper but thank jesus I was ok). Also on the highway doing 55-70 mph and I press the gas to move a lane or go forward more the car will drop gears and stall causing the cars behind me to almost hit me and honk. This is not too mention the slips and bucks the transmission causes on the daily which are just annoying. This is extremely dangerous! I have given my wife my Nissan rogue and taken the Ford Focus as I don't feel safe letting her (or myself) drive it. And the transmission has been replaced as well as the clutch before and most recent the car wouldn't go in reverse and they fixed the tcm. It is now known that Ford knew about these issues and did nothing! I'm afraid one day I will die in an accident and it will be because of this transmission but we don't have the money to get rid of the car we already paid off. And no one wants to buy this junker as we've tried to sell it! I don't know what to do as this is unbelievable?!.

7 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2022

I purchased my 2014 Ford Focus in 2018. I drove it very little between 2020-2021 due to covid and being furloughed. Once back to regular driving the car was shuttering and in July 2022 the clutch and tcm failed. At first the dealer denied it had anything to do with the transmission or settlement from Ford. I had to file an intent to arbitrate just to get it fixed under the warranty. The tcm was on on indefinite back order and I was told it could be up to a year. I filed for arbitration trying to get a repurchase using the magnuson moss the federal emission and design defect, and the consumer fraud act. I was denied because of the class action lawsuit. Ford refuses to honor their own warranty and the federal warranty because of this lawsuit. The suit was filed prior to my purchasing the vehicle as was the opt out. I am not involved w that lawsuit and should not be held to its terms. It’s terms benefit Ford. The tcm warranty was extended to 10 years by Ford in 2015 2 years before the lawsuit. I filed a complaint w the epa and miraculously Ford found a tcm and repaired it in one day. My car sat for months. It still shutters and has lost power in the 3 weeks that I have had it back. Mooresville Ford where the car was repaired refuses to give me an invoice or any information on any additional warranty on the replacement parts. This car is a danger and threat! the fact that u allowed Ford to get away w this is disgusting. Ford claims that ur car has to fail 3 times before a repurchase. So your telling me that while driving, usually on the highway, at over 65 mph my car has to lose power and I have to navigate it to the right with my steering and brakes that should hopefully work before I can get a repurchase?! under magnuson moss and the epa warranty I’m eligible for a repurchase. The car is not safe and I could not resell it to anyone in good conscience knowing that it will fail again. The replacement parts are the same defective parts that u allow them to use.

8 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2022

After the engine light had been on for about a day and before I remembered to get it looked at, an alarm indicating "transmission fault" suddenly came on when I was in the middle of an intersection and the car completely stopped moving and wouldn't accelerate. Other cars went around me, but I was stuck there until I was able to restart the engine and try again and pull over. If another driver had not been paying attention, it could have caused an accident. This occurred at a four way stop, but on a busier street it might have been worse. We were able to get it driving again after restarting, and the independent mechanic diagnosed it with multiple error codes from the transmission control module. They reset the error codes to get it out of second gear and advised us that the tcm would need to be replaced soon. When reaching out to multiple Ford dealers and customer support representatives, we were told that though the tcm issues were under extended warrenty the replacement tcm part are backordered and we were offered no guidance on when parts would arrive and were told others had been waiting for months, so we have no recourse to fix the faulty system and were offered no compensation or assistance in the meantime. It has so far been about 6 weeks since the incident and have no updates. As a family with one car, this leaves us unable to trust that our only vehicle and we have needed to rent cars at great expense for longer trips.

9 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2022

Bought this car in may 2022. After about 2 weeks the car was slipping gears and would not reverse in some cases. Had it diagnosed by the Ford dealership and was told it needed a new tcm. After a few months we managed to get the part ourselves and replace it. Now the car is shifting roughly and says complete transmission failure but will still drive. I cannot believe Ford didn't recall the part, but rather issued an extended warranty on a part that is otherwise impossible to get ahold of.

10 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2022

I purchased this vehicle in March, 2022 knowing it had been bought back by Ford from the original owner under the lemon law because of repeated issues of balky transmission performance or no drive and time out of service. I purchased this car from the second owner in georgia. According to the Ford service documents obtained with the vehicle, several major repairs were performed. The vehicle performed well the time of purchase. I had confidence that Ford motor company had corrected the original defects. Now, 4 months after purchase, the transmission control module failed, resulting in a no drive/no start condition, two tow truck calls to remove the vehicle from precarious traffic situations adjacent to busy major highways. The Ford service writer indicates that while my vehicle is covered under Ford 's extended powertrain warranty as a result of the class action lawsuit concerning the dps6 transmission, the current tcm replacement parts backlog is 45,000, with vehicles out of service sitting at my dealer since February, 2022. There is no question that Ford dodged the bullet by skillfully avoid a full recall to replace these failed dps6 transmissions. What good is an extended warranty if no replacement parts are available??.

22 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2021

I went to oxford me to buy a part on the way back to augusta, me the shift module shifted itself from (d)drive to (n) and the car was rolling backwards as I was on a hill I pump the gas peddle until it shifted back into (d)drive this happened 3 times, I think it's the tcm also, the transmission began slipping after this problem and then the computer shut off the motor and I had to pull over to the side of the road and call a flatbed driver to pick me up at my house that's where I could use the phone 10 miles away! the tow was $127. 00 the tmc shift module is $298. 00 plus 5. 5% tax. This car is very dangerous to drive in traffic or anywhere!!!

23 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 08/18/2021

On 08/18/2021, the transmission control module (tcm) on our 2014 Ford Focus failed completely in a parking lot with no advance warning. This failure of the transmission could have happened while driving in a dangerous location such as an entrance ramp, a busy highway or other location where it would have been impossible to move out of the traffic lane. This lack of engagement or loss of power could have possibly endangered our lives or the lives of others. The car was towed to a nearby Ford dealer who diagnosed the problem as a failed tcm. Ford sent us a letter in August 2016 titled as “customer satisfaction program 14m02” for our specific 2014 Focus, with our specific VIN # that Ford was extending the warranty of the tcm, to a total of 10 years or 150,000 miles from the warranty start date, whichever occurs first. The Ford dealer ordered the tcm, but it is still on backorder with no estimated arrival time. The car has been unusable & sitting at the dealer’s lot waiting for the replacement tcm for 4-1/2+ months! according to the detroit free press article of 07/11/2019 (“Ford knew Focus, fiesta had flawed transmission, sold them anyway”), Ford was aware of the problem. The serious transmission reliability issues with my 2014 Ford Focus go beyond just the tcm. The original tcm was reprogrammed after 30,000 miles. In the 126,728 miles the car has been driven, I have had the clutch replaced five times due to shudder during shifting. In my opinion, it is a breach of consumer protection laws when Ford does not honor their warranty in a timely manner. That indicates to me that Ford hasn’t taken ownership of these transmission problems and has delayed/neglected its duty to repair & make the car safe & reliable. Nhtsa should launch an investigation and force Ford to fix this transmission design failure before we and/or others become seriously injured or die because of the inadequate performance of this car’s transmission.

26 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2020

While driving on a level four lane road (at 45mph), the car shook and transmission started slipping badly. Luckily I was close to home. Changed the transmission fluid and only got 4 miles down the road afterwards and it shook violently and the transmission completely went out. Had the car towed to the dealership and told us the tcm (transmission control module) was bad and replaced it since it was covered under Fords 150. 000 mile extended warranty but after replacing that they done more tests on the car when they said the whole tranny also had to be rebuilt. Ford extended the warranty to 100,000 miles on the parts in my tranny but mine had 13,000 miles too many to qualify for be covered. So now I'm stuck paying $2500 plus taxes!!!

Failure Date: 01/10/2020

1. Clutch slips in transmission causing vehicle to stall or reach dangerous rpm's before switching into another gear. 2. Repair was denied by Ford stating that it wasn't related to the current recall but was the clutches that needed to be replaced. Clutches are going out due to the tcm that was recalled on the vehicle. 3. Horn has decided to stop working along with controls on the steering wheel due to a wiring issue with the vehicle. Fuses have been changed ensuring that it is a wiring issue. 4. Hazard lights as well as half the buttons on the dash including radio, etc. Have also decided to stop working due to a wiring issue in the vehicle. No hazards making it a risk and unsafe to pull vehicle off of road in case of an emergency. 5. Ford dealership that car was taken to stated all recalls were completed but when VIN is entered through Fords website it states that all recalls are incomplete. Ford sent me a notice for repairs on transmission stating it will be almost $1400 to replace clutches in transmission. There would be no problems with the clutches if there was never anything wrong with the transmission control module to begin with. Repairing the transmission should not be on the owner of these vehicles and Ford should be liable for the repairs to an issue that was their responsibility to correct from the beginning and was not corrected in a timely manner.

34 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2019

I began having problems with the check engine light coming on. Before I could get it diagnosed I was on the road going about 35 miles per hour when I completely lost power. It felt as if the transmission had just switch to neutral and I was giving gas but going nowhere. I was able to pull off to the side of the road put the car in park and turn it off. When I turned it back on I was able to put the car in drive and carry on. A few days later I was on the highway going almost 70 miles per hour when I suddenly completely lost power again. I was able to pull off the side of the highway but it was fairly terrifying to be in the middle of traffic and all of a sudden not have power. It could have been disastrous. I finally got the car restarted and turned around and went back home. During this time I received a letter about a warranty extension all the transmission control module. I made an appointment with my local Ford dealer and they changed the module. I drove it to work after a few days and had the same issue again. I was told it must be a ba d module so they put in a new 1. Now have issues with the check engine light coming on that can't be resolved. That is how the transmission issues started originally. I don't trust to take this car on a trip. It only has about 68000 miles on it but I have lost faith in it. What if my daughter or my wife were driving it and this happened. I can't imagine.
