| 2002 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH | CONSUMER NOTICED THAT PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WAS OPEN. UPON LOCKING DOOR LATCH IT WILL NOT LOCK IN PLACE, CAUSING, CONSUMER TO SECURE VEHICLE. *AK |
| 2000 | WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS | MINE IS A FORD FOCUS 2000 SE. THE REAR WHEEL BEARING ON THE LEFT SIDE HAS GONE BAD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS CAUSING A LOUD RUMBLING NOISE AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 20 MILE/HR AND WOBBLE AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAN 50 MILE/HR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND CAN LEAD TO THE WHEEL COMING OFF DURING MOTION. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS A SERVICE CAMPAIGN BY THE FORD COMPANY (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 01I017000) TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I ALSO NOTED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE 02016 FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO BE TOLD THAT MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE (ACCORDING TO THE VIN NUMBER) WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND THUS NOT PART OF ANY SERVICE CAMPAIGN OR RECALL. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF A COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLE, JUST BECAUSE IN THEIR ASSESSMENT IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT. I WAS WONDERING IF I CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED SERVICE CAMPAIGN OR THE NHSTA ACTION NUMBER. *JB |
