| 2008 | SUSPENSION | ON THIRD SET OF TIRES RATED FOR 75K TO 80K BECAUSE OF MANUFACTURE DEFECT. CAR IS IN SHOP HAVING ANOTHER FRONT & REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE AFTER PURCHASING NEW TIRES AGAIN. SHOP SAYS THEY RECOMMEND INSTALLING AFTER MARKET CAMBERS THAT WILL HOPEFULLY HELP THE DEFECT IN DESIGN AT A COST TO ME FOR $510.00. I'VE GONE ON-LINE AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SAFETY ISSUE. THE TIRES WEAR OUT REGARDLESS OF THE LENGTH OF WARRANTY USUALLY WITHIN 6K TO 30K MILES. THE TIRES WEAR OUT ON THE INSIDE CAUSING CUPPING EVEN WITH REGULAR TIRE ROTATIONS EVERY 6K MILES. I SPOKE WITH FORD AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR IS A PROBLEM. THE ON-LINE FORUMS REGARDING THIS ISSUE OTHER FORD OWNERS HAVE STATED THEY ALSO CONTACTED FORD AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. *TR |
| 2010 | POWER TRAIN | BOUGHT FOCUS NEW WITH 49 MILES ON IT ON DEC 1, 2010. I HAVE HAD PREMATURE TIRE WEAR, AND ISSUES WITH STALLING/ JUMPING. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM AN EVENT THIS PAST WEEKEND AND HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD 45 MINUTES WHEN THE CAR STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL, THEN STARTED MAKING A HIGH PITCHED SQUEAL NOISE. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME, AND AFTER ARRIVING HOME THE CAR KEPT WANTING TO JUMP WHILE PARKED. THE IDLE WOULD JUMP TO 3000RPM THEN BACK DOWN TO 1000RPM, THEN RISE SLOWLY HOLDING STEADY AT 2000RPM FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THEN RELAX. AFTER ALL OF THIS THE CAR HAD A STRONG COOLANT SMELL, AS WELL AS HIGH CONDENSATION DRIPPING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER, AND AFTER 3 DAYS THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. AFTER READING THE 105 COMPLAINTS ABOUT 2010 FOCUS I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE, AND NOW HAVE JUST DECIDED TO DITCH THE FOCUS. *TR |
