I need your assistance, dear brother. I'm facing a problem with my Ford Focus 2012, which is just under 5 months old. It began displaying the same warning, and I'm struggling to comprehend it fully. The complication is compounded by the fact that I purchased it through auctionexport.com in the USA, and I'm currently in Nigeria, far from any dealership support.

On occasion, when the car indicates an overheating issue with the message "Overheat, wait 10 minutes," I follow the instructions diligently. However, there are times when I disregard the warning and continue driving, especially when stuck in traffic.

About 1-2 months after the first overheating warning, I drove to a mall in Abuja without any such indication. However, upon returning to my car and starting it after a brief 10-minute stop, the transmission suddenly malfunctioned, causing significant damage to both the gear and the body of the gear.

I had to take the car to a mechanic and had to purchase a direct Belgium (second-hand) transmission to replace the damaged one. This endeavor cost me a substantial amount, including the cost of the transmission, repairs, and installation. Unfortunately, less than a month after installing the Belgium (second-hand) transmission, the same issue resurfaced. As I speak to you now, the transmission is not functioning properly. It struggles to engage gears, and even when it does, it fails to move smoothly and doesn't shift correctly. The transmission specialist suggests that the issue is with the Transmission Control Module (TCM) and recommends replacing it to resolve the problem. Due to these recurring issues, I've had to park the vehicle to prevent any further damage or accidents.

Some individuals have advised me to convert the car to a manual transmission. I'm feeling utterly perplexed and distressed by this situation, as I have yet to fully enjoy my car. I'm reaching out to you for urgent assistance. Based on your knowledge and expertise, what steps should I take to restore the functionality of my car?

Your help is greatly appreciated, and I value your insights. Please, I implore you, to guide me on the best course of action to rectify this issue and enjoy my vehicle once again.

I'm in desperate need of assistance. Thank you!
A lot factors could responsible for the overheating issue , check ur radiator and AC fans properly.faulty oil sensors inside automatic transmission too could cause it, oil sensor wiring from control module could also cause it. Tell ur auto electrician to check the wiring from gear box to the engine or transmission control unit connector for short circuit. Don't convert it to manual gear.

My 2008 toyota camry immobilizer was diagnosed damaged when my car wouldn't start. I was advised to do a bypass by converting my brainbox to freecode.

It actually worked. The car began to start but whenever it's hot, it will be misbehaving. It won't run slow in traffic and will eventually trigger off by itself.

if I remove the key, it will not start again until i leave the ignition on, remove the cap of the brainbox and slot it back, then crank it to start again. Very frustrating.

I have changed brain box 2times now and Its still same. I have a feeling its more than the brainbox.

Gurus in d house, kindly advise pls.

I am automatic transmission Engr, the issue is electrical wiring related, the oil temp sensors are either faulty or not receiving the needed signal voltage from transmission brain box. Call me on this xup no for solutions:08059652028
