2015 Ford Focus

What 2015 Ford Focus owners report most

The dominant pattern in owner complaints is sudden, unexpected loss of drive power, most often reported during low-speed maneuvers such as pulling away from a stop. A dashboard warning indicator — described as a wrench icon with a service message — commonly accompanies these power-loss events, and owners note that the situation creates a safety exposure when traffic is present. Steering and fuel/propulsion complaints round out the picture, with some incidents involving crashes or fires.
