2013 FORD FOCUS with 100000. miles
Starting february 2018 the car was jerking and it had turned off on me while on the highway 3 times. I have changed oxygen sensors and purge valve (i have receipts) and it had initially helped. As of june 2, 2018, it is jerking and turning off again and throwing check engine code P0805 and P080A. The system from car notified me that the transmission was hot and needed to be turned off. From june 2, 2018 i have not driven the car.

2012 FORD FOCUS with 79100.0 miles
While driving on the freeway around 6pm and taking an on ramp onto another freeway the Ford Focus stalled mid-drive and would not accelerate anymore or switch to higher gears when the accelerator was pressed. The Ford immediately could not go any faster than first gear and luckily we avoided an accident by pulling to the side of the freeway on ramp into the vegetation since there was no shoulder. There was no noise or indication that something had happened to the vehicle. The engine light came on and the vehicle just stopped driving in the middle of driving at around 50mph. It would not drive backwards when put into reverse and would rev up to extremely high rpm when the driver tried to move forwards or backwards. Towed the car to the mechanic the next day and they ran a diagnostic that came back with 5 error codes including: P0805, P087A, P2831, P2836, and P2861. A pin point test was performed and found that the voltage was at a consistent 5 volts, so they cleared the codes and took the vehicle for a test drive and it was fine again. The vehicle has about 79,000 miles. Attached will be the mechanics form along with what they said are several codes for related recalls that were supposedly already fixed.
