2012 FORD FOCUS — Complaint #1069937

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS filed May 29, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1069937 (ODI reference 10594717) concerns a 2012 FORD FOCUS and was filed on May 29, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 28, 2014. The vehicle had 56,665 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:power window devices and controls, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD FOCUS cohort independently describe similar visibility:power window devices and controls failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2012 FORD FOCUS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING POORLY, THEN LIKE AN ENGINE MISS, POWER LOSS, STEP ON GAS IT SLOWED DOWN, TURNED CORNER AT INTERSECTION AND ALMOST DIDN'T MAKE IT THRU INTERSECTION. VERY LIGHT FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR WOULD ALLOW IT TO GAIN SPEED. MISSED 1ST GEAR ON STOP AT STOPSIGN, TOOK OFF IN 2ND OR 3RD (AUTOMATIC)/ CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON UNTIL I GOT HOME, SHUT IT OFF. STARTED BACK UP AND RAN FAIRLY WELL TO DEALERSHIP. THIS IS SECOND TIME IN A WEEK I'VE HAD TO DEALER. THEY DID A TSB ELECTRIC RESET OF SHIFT POINTS AND SAID IT WAS ALL RELATED. I WAS CHARGED FOR THAT EVEN THO THERE WAS A TSB PERFORMED. ALSO MY RF WINDOW MOTOR IS OUT. IT WAS RARELY USED AS I COMMUTE ABOUT 55 MILES A DAY SOLO. *TR
