NHTSA complaint: 2012 FORD FOCUS — POWER TRAIN
CANISTER PURGE VALVE RECALL (CPV) AND PRIOR POWERTRAIN AND PCM RECALL ISSUES. HISTORY INVOLVING POWERTRAIN, PCM AND CPV. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CEL) CAME ON A FEW YEARS AGO AND THE CAR COULD NOT RESTART. COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT. RECENTLY, IN THE SUMMER 2019, CEL ON AND GAVE A CODE ABOUT FAULTY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN I SPENT $106 AT GREEN FORD TO READ AND DIAGNOSIS THE CODE. THE LIGHT WENT ON AND OFF AND ON SEPTEMBER 8, 2019, THE CAR STALLED AND/OR WOULD NOT START BACK UP MANY TIMES WHEN THE CEL WAS ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK THE NEXT MORNING, TWICE, ON THE WAY TO GREEN FORD, AND WAITING ON RECALL TO BE PERFORMED. THE CAR HAS 151,000 MILES AND IS A ONE OWNER VEHICLE. THE POWERTRAIN, PCM AND THIS CURRENT ISSUE HAS BEEN THE ONLY ISSUES THAT SEEMS TO BE CONNECTED.
