2003
SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
I HAD A FRONT RIGHT SUSPENSION SPRING BREAK WHILE THE CAR SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME IF IT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD AS A JAGGED POINT WAS ENGAGED WITH THE TREAD OF THE TIRE. DEALER ADMITS THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FOCUS AND THE TAURUS, BUT WOULD NOT COVER THE PART OR LABOR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WE PURCHASED THIS CAR ON 08/19/2011 AND THE NEXT DAY WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER, I DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS COLD BUT IN STOP AND GO DRIVING AND NORMAL CITY DRIVING AFTER IT HAS WARMED UP. ALSO WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL GO FOR A SECOND THEN HAVE A NICE SIZED FLAT SPOT SO EVEN THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR WILL GO FORWARD AS IF THE BRAKES WERE COMING ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE TECH DROVE IT AND VERIFIED THAT IT DID HAVE THIS ISSUE. THEY CONTACTED FORD AND FORD STATED THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND TOLD THEM TO DO NOTHING. I COMPLAINED TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALL THE LADY HAD TO SAY WAS THAT IT IS NORMAL. ALSO FORD HAD STATED THAT THESE ARE ISOLATED INCIDENTS, IF THEY ARE INDEED ISOLATED THEN THEY CANNOT BE CONSIDERED NORMAL BUT RATHER A DEFECT THAT FORD DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CLUTCHES REQUIRE A BREAK-IN BUT FORD DOES NOT STATE ANY BREAK-IN PROCEDURE THAT PERTAINS JUST TO THE CLUTCHES OTHER THEN THE NORMAL 1000 MILE BREAK-IN FOR THE VEHICLE IN GENERAL. I AND OTHERS I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH ALL HAVE THESE ISSUES AFTER THE 1000 MILE BREAK-IN AND FEEL IT IS BOTH A SAFETY ISSUE AND A MECHANICAL DEFECT FROM FORD THAT WOULD COST TO MUCH TO REPAIR SO THEY CLAIM IT IS NORMAL. *KB
