What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ford focus. After pulling into her office parking lot, the contact shifted the gear into park and turned off the vehicle. Suddenly, the vehicle began to roll forward and struck a stone wall. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle sustained minor damage and did not need to be towed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 16,000.
Gas pedal gets stuck when moving forward. I have to get underneath the pedal and return it back to neutral spot with my toes. Engine jerks when fuel gets to 1/4 tank. Once after a trip to the grocery store, gas pedal stayed stuck after placing it in park. Rpm's were above 2000.
