| 2000 | SUSPENSION:FRONT:WHEEL BEARING | GAS MILEAGE IS POOR ON THIS SIZE VEH--MOTOR KICKS INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THERE IS NO PROBLEM/CANNOT DUPLICATE, 4 INCIDENTS, THIS IS VERY FREIGHTING. ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC & CANNOT GET OFF THE ROAD FAST. BRAKES WEAR BETWEEN 16000 AND 18000 MILES WITH NORMAL DRIVING. THE MOTOR BELT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 22000 MILES. THIS NEVER HAPPENED SO SOON WITH ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. REPAIRS AND SERVICES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE, MANY SAFETY RECALLS AND PRODUCT WARNINGS THAT TAKE TIME TO REPAIR. THE DEALER HAS A PROBLEM MAKING SURE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE WHEN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE WHEEL BEARINGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND SOUND LIKE THEY MAY BE GOING BAD AGAIN! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE. WHAT IF SOMETHING FAILS WHILE MYSELF OR MY FAMILY ARE IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAS DEPRECIATED AT SUCH A DRASTIC RATE, THAT I WOULD BE WISE TO TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I FEEL IT IS IN DIRECT RELATION TO ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. *PH **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**763169 |
| 2013 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | CAR: FORD FOCUS EV (ALL ELECTRIC) - SECOND REPORT ON NHTSA WEBSITE ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE FAILURE: INCIDENT: WHILE BACKING OUT OF PACKING SPACE IN COSTCO PARKING, I STARTED TO SHIFT FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE. ALL OF SUDDEN, THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I COULD NOT MOVE THE AUTO TRANSMISSION SHIFTER OUT OF THE (N) NEUTRAL POSITION. THE WEIRD THING WAS THAT AS YOU LOOKED AT THE DASH BOARD PANEL, IT SAID THE CAR WAS IN (P) BUT THE SHIFTER WAS PHYSICALLY IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR ACTED AS IF IN PARK (WHEELS IN GEAR - CAN'T PUSH IT). THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND I WAS STRANDED IN THE PARKING LOT LANE BETWEEN PARKING STALLS. I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND FRITZ FORD IN RIVERSIDE, CA (WHERE I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE). FRITZ CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO GET THE CAR AND MY HUSBAND CAME TO PICK ME UP. BEING THAT THE FOCUS EV IS NEW, THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED ON HOW TO GET IT ON THE TRUCK AS THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS LOCKED IN NEUTRAL. FRITZ STILL HAS THE CAR AFTER 5 DAYS CLAIMING THERE IS NO ISSUE WITH IT. HMM? *TR |
