How many Ford Focus ecoboosts have clutch failure?
How many Ford Focus ecoboosts have clutch failure?
They interviewed “Honest John”. He said he knew of seven 1 litre Ecoboosts having the problem (ie clutch failure on new Focuses within the first 6,000 miles). He was shown the parts Ford had returned to one of their customers and he pointed out they had not returned the clutch slave cylinder (have I got that right? All mumbo-jumbo to me).
Why does the clutch stop working on my focus?
My girlfriends focus the clutch has stopped working. The clutch pedal goes up and down but it won’t go into gear. The brake/clutch fluid is very low however the brakes are OK. I’m surprised there is no level warning sensor on this car. Anyway I topped up the reservoir but it has not made any difference. What seems to be the problem?
Why does my Ford C-Max clutch keep failing?
A friend of mine recently had a similar issue on his 18,000 mile Ford C-Max, attributed to a failed hydraulic cylinder which then emptied fluid all over the clutch thus ruining it. I wonder if there is a hydraulic problem with these cars that Ford aren’t talking about.
What causes an early clutch failure in a Ford?
Leakage from the CSC would cause the gears to be increaseingly hard to engage. An abrupt and sudden failure to be able to engage gears would mean the CSC has failed totally. Fleet hire companies buy their vehicles with three year warranties. Ford have had trouble with their CSC’s and have changed their specifications several times.
Is there a recall on the Ford Focus clutch?
The clutch is a wear part. If any clutch burns out quickly then it would be easy to tell anybody that they were too hard on the clutch and they are on the hook for the replacement. But Ford issued a recall over the clutch. And that isn’t the language Ford used in said recall.

Why is my clutch slipping in my focus?
The clutch is not the problem, driver error is. The change to the PCM calibration will prevent excess throttle (or at least throw a check engine light) when it detects the clutch is slipping excessively to prevent the customer from continuing to burn it down.
