- 2013 Ford Focus loss of power while driving. This was after Ford reprogrammed PCM/TCM. One day after the reprogram. I ended up returning this car. Very unsafe. Very scary, especially on the highway.
I have a 2013 Ford Focus and this exact thing was happening to me!! Through trial and error and replacing everything little I could, it all came down to the throttle body. Replaced it for $200 and my car is 100% back to normal!! Very common problem with these cars!
So the throttle body is the problem?
I also have a 2013 Ford Focus and I'm experiencing loss of power
I changed my fords transmission brain and it worked. "(2014 ford focus Robot transmission )"
New Car doesn't Mean Free of problems just means that someone else is fixing them problems!!! Thank you Jesus for that New Car Warranty!!!
Although an old post here's my two pence worth! Low coolant level or car thinking it's low is a common cause in petrol models. Engine fears overheating so rather than stopping dead on the road it halves combustion of fuel via the spark plugs. Therefore reducing power drastically but not fully so you can pull over. Oily plugs might confirm this, especially if a whiff of fuel from exhaust noted only when it plays up. Earth straps and smaller earth wires also very good candidate so just undue them, clean them and the area they fasten too, very well with sandpaper. Believe it or not you can also slap the dash over Speedo. No joke, it's well know that soldered contacts in circuit board lose conductivity and dry joint, as they say. Good look and take care.....
Older cars without many drama last years without having any issues modern new technology vehicles are a bunch of drama and hundreds of failures means citizens we are in serious threat by corporations and gasoline companies
purge valve also corrected my vapor lock issue every time I gased up. It was just over 100.00
I’ve got the same issue
. 2015 model problem goes when engine is turned off then back on but I’ve got it booked into the Garage this weekend.
I was also having this issue and found the problem Its a common issue. Change the Purge Valve and you will have no more issues
Can you please describe where this Purge Valve is located? Do you mean the Pirburg valve on the turbo? I changed it to aftermarket all aluminum one as the rubber disk was fractured. Or you mean something else?
@@pjak2000 there is a recall on it. Gas tank issue
My 2013 focus has power loss that starts out intermittent but it's only happening when it rains. I'll drive fine for a bit then it will happen and after about 10 min it clears itself or if I stop it will be gone. No check engine light either.
What was the fix?
Any updates? Were you able to fix it? What was your specific problem?
must be a software issue,,cause i have a 14 focus,,and got the recall letter,,,about stalling,, it started to stall cause i left in under a qtr tank,,and the stalling started,,got the recall done,,went to florida from new orleans,after i had it done,,drove fine,,then when i got back,, it did it again,,give it gas,,it revs but doesnt go,,then goes,,,but after driving awhile it started to run fine,,i realized that if i didnt drive everyday had the problem,,so it must be a software/computer issue,,
Did you ever found out what it was?
My father's Toyota Yaris 2008 stalling while on road
tomorrow I'll check it for him
for a start , new spark plugs , coils are working fine , fuel injectors are fine too, fuel pump also new + new filter
no catalytic converter , so no chance a clogged exhaust .
there still the throttle body to be checked on road , fuel pressure , evap system ( don't think it's ) .
My subaru did this to me, and it also dies when I put my clutch in but I get no lights or anything. I ordered a fuel pump, and I am hoping that it is the fix
Your catalytic converter is clogged
That happened to me in the middle of the interstate
What was the problem?
Did you manage to fix it ?? What was the issue ??
This is happening to my car right now, 2014 Ford Focus Stv.... Its almost dieing in steep climbs... want to just drive the car off a cliff.. Please let me know what was wrong with the car @Hugo , thansk for the vid :D

Mine doing this in 2023 what was your solve ?
Sorry. My sister in law had same problem this morning
What was the problem
I have a 2010 Ford focus, same thing happened. Brought it into the shop and it was my starter/ignition wearing out. I'd check that out!
Did you ever fix this? I’m having this issue with my fiesta st-2 15 reg
Almost same with my peugeot 206 that would start normal but would died after 2mins of driving once i release the pedal. and the same thing happen on idle - died after 2mins of start. i would managed to restart it after several attempts and would be good for the day untill i parked it for more than an hour, then the problem start again. What might that be please,.any ideal?
I have a 2016 1.6lt Focus ecoboost, same thing happening, coolant also getting lower without leaks
What did you do? Is it fixed now? What is the problem?
tryn to figure this problem with my escape now
Mass airflow sensor was causing this problem in my focus
I am having the same issue with the 2015 focus 1.0 Ecoboost. The scanner reads that the oxygen sensor is a problem. Did you replace the sensor and it went back to normal?
@@mordendayvillagefarmer2676 yes replace sensor. Its beside the air filter box on the air pipe
So what was the problem ?
My wife loss her job due to this problem! Her drive to work is 30 mins about 20 minutes into it the 2013 focus shuts off! Had it towed to the ford dealership and they said they would start at the battery and work they way back! they wanted $250 for a battery at Lakeland ford Florida. I bought one at orielys and it stalled on the way out parking lot! Car is in my driveway about to have them repo the piece of shit
Jay Newsome if you loose your job over a failing car your boss is a piece of shit.
Yea burn it bro
@@tirewacomI’m having the same issue. I could’ve gotten rear ended- my fusion stalled and wouldn’t accelerate in the middle of the road while going 60mph+
this is when u send it too hard, it has a defense and it cuts fuel to the engine thinkin it would roll. just off it and on it all good
how did you fix it and how much did it cost you
I have ford focus 2010 and same problem coming can anyone help me ?
I have the same problem right now can you help me out and tell me what wad the problem im currently in the freeway late at night
Hie. Having the same problem rn. How did you fix it?
@@tabtwm7125 did you fix it?
@@ThatBoyMichael1 yes I did. Driving perfect now. My mechanic asked me to buy speed sensors. We replaced them and it's all good now
@@tabtwm7125 did it really? I'm currently having the same problems with my 2012 Ford focus
Spark plug or coil pack
Or d plug wires
im sorry that happend it was on my birthday
from the dealer
It could be dpf or dpf sensor.
What is a dpf sensor ?
Great video there . Please my 2004 Ford focus usually dies out and loose power when I am driving for a long distance. When I switch it off it will start right away and everything will run fine for about 5 minutes and the scenario will repeat itself. I have replaced the fuel pump assembly, fuel filter and plugs but no changes . Please I need advice from experienced mechanics and ford owners. It has about 160.000kms on it. Thanks
check your catalytic converter..
@@rodelrico6011 that’s the code mine is throwing
Did you manage to fix it? What was the problem?
I love the car but the engine sucks not the style I mean
Could be the ECU Problem.
my car is doing the same thing
Pcv valve
hmm
B
need to change your throttle body 200 dollar fix
Ulises Orozco has this happened to you? My girlfriends car is doing this now and not sure what to do to it. No one this has happened to seems to have solved this issue.
@@mototime8975 that's probably misfires and causes to turn the engine light.
It was the TCM and ford replaced it under warranty, but it was a battle to get them to admit that’s what was wrong
@@mototime8975 Yeah true that, they want you to do this and that and try this first and later to see if there any changes while your vehicle is suffering and for me is just a waste of time. I mean, what's their problem anyway, they gonna get paid by Ford anyway because it's a faulty transmission by the manufacturer. As for the spark plugs, forget every 100k, for Ford is every 60k or less. And watch videos in how to clean your sensors and throttle body cause the dealers are so dependent of their machine for codes that they don't care doing manually. Overall, save up some money and trade in your vehicle for any Honda, Toyota, Mazda and KIA. Never buy any GM and Ford cars, they are crap. Those makes don't have the fancy stuff that Ford puts on their vehicles but they are quality. Cheers
Exactly! It wasn’t until it fully broke down on a county road with a blown tranny fuse that they listened. Of course it helped that I walked in demanding the service manager.
