FORD DEALER HAD FIXED FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT WILL NOT FIX REAR WHEEL BEARINGS UNDER WARRANTY. CAR MAKES A ROARING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. I THINK THE REAR PARTS ON THE CAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $490 TO FIX. ALSO I PAID $25 FROM THE FORD DEALER FOR WIPERS THAT KEEP SCRAPING THE WINDSHIELD AND GIVE ME POOR VISIBILITY. *TT

Air bags, Nov 22, 2011, crash
I WAS TRAVELING ON INDUSTRIAL BLVD WHEN AN ELDERLY COUPLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. WITH NO TIME TO REACT I HIT THE FRONT END OF THEIR CAR WITH THE FRONT AND SIDE OF MY CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. AFTER MY HEAD HIT OFF THE WINDSHIELD MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HAVE A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND SOME INJURY TO MY RIGHT LEG. THE MAIN POINT TO THIS ACCIDENT IS THAT I WAS WEARING A SEATBELT AND MY HEAD STILL STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD. AND ONCE AGAIN THE AIRBAG WAS DELAYED ON DEPLOYMENT. *TR

BECAUSE "INCIDENT" DATE IS REQUIRED, I PUT TODAY'S DATE, BUT THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A CONTINUOUS CONDITION. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THE PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. THE PARKING BRAKE ALWAYS FREEZES (WILL NOT RELEASE) AT TEMPERATURES BELOW 20 DEGREES (SOMETIMES WARMER). USE OF THE PARKING BRAKE DURING WINTER MONTHS RESULTS IN DRIVING WITH BRAKE SET, WITH OBVIOUS DANGERS. NOT USING THE PARKING BRAKE DURING WINTER MONTHS SOMETIMES RESULTS IN VEHICLE LEFT IDLING WITH NO BRAKE SET (THERE ARE TIMES, IN ALASKA, WHEN IT IS NOT SAFE TO SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, BECAUSE OF THE NEED TO MAINTAIN LIGHTING) WITH OBVIOUS DANGERS. I HAVE HAD THE CABLE REPLACED, TO NO EFFECT. I AM 62 YEARS OLD, AND WHILE I HAVE HEARD OF PARKING BRAKES FREEZING, THIS IS THE FIRST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED (OR DRIVEN, FOR THAT MATTER) THAT EVER ACTUALLY EXHIBITED THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIRES CUPPING. HAD IT REALIGNED AROUND 20,000 MILES BECAUSE FORD ONLY COVERS WHEEL ALIGNMENT UP TO 12,000 MILES. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES AROUND 35,000 MILES, HAD IT REALIGNED AGAIN AROUND 36,000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO COSTCO WHERE I BOUGHT THE NEW BRIDGESTONE TIRES FOR TIRE ROTATION AND THEY SAID THE TIRES WERE CUPPING !! SAME PROBLEM, ALIGNMENT DON'T HELP. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FORD FOCUS. *TR

THE IGNITION KEY IS BINDING IN IGNITION CYLINDER WHEN TURNING TO START POSITION ONLY. TWICE IT HAS NOT STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. TWICE I HEARD A METAL SOUND WHEN STARTING. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH FORD FOCUS 2008, AND HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS SUGGESTED TO ME TO GO DIRECT TO A FORD DEALER SERVICE SHOP WHICH I DID. THE CAR WARRANTY EXPIRED 5/2011 SO I DON'T QUALIFY FOR FREE REPAIR ON THIS PROBLEM. AS FAR AS I CAN SEE IN RESEARCHING THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON IT. I THINK FORD SHOULD PAY. *KB

BOUGHT MY 2008 FORD FOCUS MARCH 14, 2009 WITH 15,000 MILES AS A FLEET RETURN. AT 36,000 MILES THE HANKOOK OPTIMO H725 ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES ARE WORN OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. JUST AVERAGE DRIVING ON THE TIRES. THESE TIRES ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 80,000 MILE TREAD LIFE GUARANTEE. HANKOOK'S WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT TIRES. TO SAY I AM DISAPPOINTED AND PERTURBED BY THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THESE TIRES IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE HALF WAY POINT OF THEIR TREAD LIFE. *KB
Engine and engine cooling, Electrical system, Sep 5, 2011
VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, ONLY CONTINUING TO RUN AT A ROUGH IDLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANY ACCELERATION. THE ONLY POSSIBLE RESPONSE WAS TO LIMP TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RAN AS NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. FOUR DAYS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALER AND HAVING THEM TELL ME TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT OCCURRED AGAIN AND THEN HAVE IT TOWED IN, I CONVINCED THEM TO LOOK FURTHER INTO IT. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON LINE OF THE SAME TYPE. THE NECESSARY REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CONTACTED ME AND SAID THE FORD HOTLINE STATED THEY HAD PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS AND ADVISED TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THIS WAS DONE AND THE VEHICLE HAS OPERATED CORRECTLY SINCE THE REPAIR. *TR

MY TIRES WILL NOT LAST OVER 1000 TO 2000 MILES WITHOUT STARTING TO WHINE FROM CUFFING ON THE EDGES. FORD DID NOT PROVIDE ANY CHAMBER ADJUSTMENT IN FRONT OR BACK AND THE CAR WEARS OUT TIRES VERY QUICKLY. I HAVE A LITTLE OVER 61,000 MILES ON MY 2008 AND AM ON MY FIFTH SET OF TIRES. I HAVE ADDED REPLACEMENT ARMS TO THE REAR FOR CAMBER ADJUSTMENT AND CAMBER PLATES TO THE FRONT. DEALER AT FIRST TOLD ME TO ROTATE MY TIRES MORE OFTEN AND THEN ADMITTED THAT THE FOCUS MODEL HAS A PROBLEM WITH EATING TIRES. CONTACTED FORD TO NO AVAIL. *KB

LOCKS FREEZE UP. THIS IS A 2008 FORD FOCUS 4 DOOR. 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASED BRAND NEW THE BACK DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. REPAIRED AT DEALER. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER STARTED FREEZING UP AGAIN AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT IN TO GET REPAIRED THE FRONT DOORS DID THIS AS WELL. I HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND LOCKED THE DOORS THEN NONE OF THE DOORS WOULD OPEN UP, HAD TO CLIMB THROUGH TRUNK. ALL FOUR DOORS REPAIRED. 6 MONTHS LATER DOORS LOCKED UP AGAIN. SOMETIMES THEY WOULD WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY WOULD NOT. EVENTUALLY THE BACK DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL. THIS HAPPENED WHEN I HAD A CHILD IN AN INFANT SEAT IN THE BACK SEAT AND HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS TO GET CHILD OUT OF THE BACK SEAT. THIS WAS FIXED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME THREE OF THE DOORS. THEY WHERE REPAIRED AND AT THIS TIME I NOW HAVE A BACK DOOR THAT WILL NO LONGER OPEN. I HAVE VOICED MY CONCERNS TO FORD BUT ALL THEY DO IS CONSTANTLY REPAIR THE SAME WAY AND EVEN TRIED TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO DUST BUILDING UP IN THE CAR DOORS, I HAVE LIVED IN THE COUNTRY AND HAD MULTIPLE VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE OF DUST. ALSO I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS IS HAPPENING TO WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT JUST MY VEHICLE. THE DOORS FREEZE UP RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING AND IF SOMEONE WHERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND NOT BE ABLE TO OPEN DOORS THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE HAD TO CLIMB IN AND OUT OF WINDOWS TO GET IN AND OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND PUT CHILDREN IN THE CAR THROUGH WINDOW. *TR
