WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO START THE VEHICLE IT OFTEN WON'T START - IF I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL OR SOMETIMES SHIFT IT INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR (IT'S A STANDARD), IT MAY START. THERE IS NO DISTINCT PATTERN OF WHEN IT WILL AND WHEN IT WON'T START. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE LATELY AND I'M WORRIED I WILL GET STRANDED. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR NOW AS SHE IS CONCERNED ABOUT GETTING STRANDED. HELP. *TR
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 1, 2015
WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A STOP AND IS IDLING THE ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE, THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR HAS NO POWER. IF I TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED UNTIL I COME TO ANOTHER STOP. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THEY SAY THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL REPORTS NO CODES. *TR

THE DOORS, RANDOMLY, DO NOT UNLOCK. EVERY DOOR HAS HAD THIS ISSUE...RANDOMLY. THE WEATHER IS NOT THE ISSUE, THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ALL TYPES OF WEATHER. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS , VIA GOOGLE, AND I AM NOT THE FIRST TO REPORT THIS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FIX? THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR HAS NOT UNLOCKED FOR THREE WEEKS. TODAY THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO CLIMB OVER TO EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR...NOT SAFE. I CALLED THE DEALER, NO SURPRISE, THEY HAD HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, I EXPECT TO BE CHARGED, BETWEEN $400 & $1200 TO FIX A MANUFACTURES DEFECT...SO VERY WRONG! NOR WILL I BE PAYING FOR IT! AGAIN, WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO REPORT THIS THOUSANDS OF TIMES, WHEN THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS, AT A COST TO THE CONSUMERS? *JS

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR IT JERKS WHEN I DRIVE A CERTAIN MPH.. I WAS ON THE FREE WAY AND IT FELT LIKE I WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP OR DIDN'T NO IF MY CAR WOULD STOP... MY POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING WHEN I TURN A CORNER IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE AND WHEN I FOUND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WHICH WAS MY POWER STEERING PUMP I GOT IT FIXED AN NOW THE POWER STEERING LEAKS OUT AN STILL MAKES THE NOISE.. I FEEL REALLY UNSAFE IN MY CAR AN AM AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH MY SON IN IT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE SPEED REACHES ABOUT 40 MPH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR REDUCES SPEED AND YOU CAN PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND IT WILL GO NO FASTER THAN 30 MPH. THE ONLY FIX IS TO HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL SWITCH ON THE DASH AND THIS TURNS THE TRACTION OFF AND ALLOWS YOU NOT TO GET KILLED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO SEE IF ANY TROUBLE CODES WOULD POP UP AND THE SCAN SAID THE CAR WAS FINE NO ISSUES. WHEN YOU DRIVE THE CAR IT TELLS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY .IT WILL NOT BE LONG UNTIL SOME ONE GETS TO AN INTERSECTION AND A TRUCK IS BARRING DOWN ON THEM AND THE CAR WILL NOT SAFELY ACCELERATE TO GET YOU OUT OF DANGER. I HAVE FOUND NOTHING THAT WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I WILL TRY TO SELL IT BACK TO A DEALERSHIP. SAD THING IS WE STILL OWE $5000. ON IT BUT DON'T FEEL SAFE IN IT. NEW CAR TIME, SKIPPING FORDS THIS TIME UNTIL THEY TAKE SOME ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE 120K SERVICE. THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. A WEEK LATER I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND ASKED THEM THE CHECK A YELLOW CRUSTING UNDER THE DASHBOARD IN THE FRONT PASSENGER FOOTWELL. THEY DID AND SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS OR WHAT WOULD CAUSE IT. A WEEK LATER WE NOTICED A SMELL IN THE CABIN. THE CAR WAS NOW 3 YEARS OLD AND WE HAD A SIMILAR SMELL 18 MONTHS PRIOR THAT COST US $1800 TO REPLACE THE AC CORE. SURELY THIS COULD NOT BE ANOTHER AC CORE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THEM AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG...EVEN THE SMELL HAD GONE. I TOOK THE CAR AND ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED THE CAR WAS BEGINNING TO OVERHEAT...FORD WAS ALREADY CLOSED. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE RADIATOR. I TOPPED IT UP AND IT TOOK A GALLON OF WATER. I WATCHED THE LEVEL FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IT DIDN'T MOVE. I DROVE HOME OK AND RECHECKED THE RADIATOR...SAME LEVEL. IT DROVE THE FOLLOWING DAY OK TOO. THEN IN THE EVENING I NOTICED IT WAS GETTING HOT AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70MPH AND IT SUDDENLY CUT THE POWER ON THE ENGINE. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE AND HAD TO DODGE TRAFFIC TO COAST TO A HALT ON THE SHOULDER WITH THE ENGINE AT IDLE SPEED AND NO POWER. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT WAS FLOORED, BUT THE ENGINE PRODUCED NO POWER WHATSOEVER...DIDN'T EVEN REV HIGH. WHEN I CHECKED THE RADIATOR AGAIN IT WAS VERY LOW AND TOOK ANOTHER GALLON OF WATER. I MANAGED TO DRIVE HOME AGAIN BUT NEITHER THE AC NOR THE HEATER WOULD WORK. WE ALSO NOTICED THE CARPET IN THE PASSENGER FOOTWELL WAS NOW WET AND THE SMELL WAS BACK WITH A VENGEANCE. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THE HEATER CORE WAS THE PROBLEM AND HAD CUT THE POWER TO THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING AND TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. IT COST ME ANOTHER $1800 FOR THE HEATER CORE AND THE CARPET TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR ITS 60K SERVICE AT APPROX 62K. ALL WAS OK. ABOUT 2 DAYS LATER I NOTICED A FUNNY SMELL IN THE CABIN. I PUT IT DOWN TO WHATEVER CHEMICALS THEY USED ON THE 60K SERVICE. ABOUT 3 DAYS LATER THE SMELL WAS GETTING WORSE, BUT ALSO THE AC WASN'T COOLING LIKE IT USED TO AND MY THEN 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER PASSED OUT IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE SMELL. I TOOK IT TO FORD AS THE INCIDENT HAPPENED STRAIGHT AFTER THE SERVICE AND THEY SAID NOTHING THEY DID WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT, BUT IT LOOKED LIKE THE AC CORE AND THE SMELL WAS PAG OIL. I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER GARAGE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO FREON IN THE AC SYSTEM. THEY RECHARGED THE SYSTEM AFTER CHECKING FOR LEAKS AND NOT FINDING ANY. A WEEK LATER (TWO WEEKS AFTER THE INITIAL SERVICE) THE AC WAS NOT COOLING AGAIN. IT MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING FORD DID...AGAIN THERE WAS NO FREON IN THE SYSTEM. THEY GAVE ME THE SAME STORY AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME $1800 TO GET IT FIXED...WHY SHOULD I PAY $1800 ON A CAR THAT'S 18 MONTHS OLD? WELL, BECAUSE I NEEDED THE AC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER AND ITS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE. I COMPLAINED TO FORD DIRECTLY ASKED THEM TO PAY HALF THE COST AND THEY SAID I WAS "NOT USING THE AC CORRECTLY" AND AS SUCH WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FORD AND THEY SHOWED ME THE "CORRECT WAY TO USE THE AC"...THE SAME WAY I USE THE AC. *TR

DOORS RANDOMLY FAIL TO OPEN FROM INSIDE. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS THE REAR DOORS AND CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED FROM THE MASTER (FRONT) RELEASE. IT ACTS AS IF THE CHILD LOCK IS ENGAGED, BUT HAVE VERIFIED IT IS NOT. I SEE THIS IS A PROBLEM FROM NUMEROUS OWNERS, SO WILL HAVE IT CHECKED AT THE NEXT SERVICE VISIT. JUST WANTED TO ADD MY CAR TO THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. *JS
Power train, Dec 31, 2014
THE CAR STARTED JERKING FORWARD AT A STOP LIGHT - TURNED THE HEAT OFF AND IT STOPPED JERKING. PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT STARTED REVVING ITSELF AND JERKING FORWARD (MADE IT UP TO 2000RMP BEFORE I COULD TURN IT OFF). WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING FORWARD - BEFORE I COULD TURN THE HEAT OFF THE CAR STALLED OUT COMPLETELY. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CAR JERKED FORWARD: IDLE, PARK AND OCCASIONALLY IN DRIVE. I KNOW THAT OTHER FORD MODELS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE THROTTLE BODY AND I BELIEVE THAT FORD RECALLED AND FIXED THE OTHER MODELS. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THE FOCUS IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER MODELS DID. MAYBE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE FOCUS ALSO. *JS

THE BACK DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT UNLOCK; I HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE THE "CHILD PROOF LOCK" TO BE DISENGAGED, BUT HOW DO YOU GET THE DOOR OPEN TO EVEN CHANGE IT IF THE DOOR WON'T UNLOCK. THIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF; NOT ALL THE TIME; SOMETIMES THE DOOR WILL OPEN; SOMETIMES THEY WON'T. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. WAS THERE A RECALL ON THESE DOORS? THANK YOU. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FOCUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH THE REAR AND FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
Electrical system, Dec 3, 2014
THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY INCORRECTLY STATES THAT THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT ISN'T. THIS CAUSES THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY TO "LOCK" AND I CAN NO LONGER SEE THE ODOMETER OR THE MILEAGE. FURTHERMORE THE INTERIOR LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY STAY ON EVEN WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD (THIS RESULTS IN A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE THE ROAD AT NIGHT). ALSO, THE INCORRECT OPEN DOOR CONDITION DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO LOCK ANY OF THE DOORS (ANOTHER SAFETY DEFECT), AS SOON AS I LOCK THE DOOR THEY ALL AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK! OBVIOUSLY FORD HAS OVERSTATED THE INCORRECT OPEN DOOR CONDITION WHICH THEREBY CAUSES UNDUE SAFETY ISSUES THAT CAN NOT BE CORRECTED BY THE DRIVER/OPERATOR. I UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF HAVING A DASHBOARD DISPLAY MONITOR FOR A OPEN DOOR CONDITION, HOWEVER THIS SHOULD NOT FURTHER CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES THAT PREVENT THE IMMEDIATE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *JS

MY 2010 FORD FOCUS WILL FREQUENTLY EXPERIENCE A VERY ROUGH IDLE, AND WILL ALMOST STALL WHILE STATIONARY. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER SLOWING DOWN. MY LOCAL FORD DEALER SEEMS TO BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY CAN REPLACE MY THROTTLE BODY WITH AN "UPDATED VERSION THAT DOESN'T STICK". IF THIS IS A SYSTEMATIC SAFETY PROBLEM, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR
Air bags, Nov 15, 2014, crash
I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE SEAT AIR BAG WENT OFF AS WELL AS THE SIDE CURTAIN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IS WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED ON THE STEERING WHEEL IT BROKE IN THE MIDDLE. NOW I HAVE A V SHAPE CUT (HAD TO GET 16 STITCHES). I DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BROKEN THE WAY IT DID. NOW I HAVE A SCAR ON MY FOREHEAD. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE ACCIDENT. *TR
Engine, Nov 5, 2014
I STARTED FEELING A VIBRATION WHEN STOPPED AND WHEN DRIVING, ABOUT 1 MONTH BEFORE I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. THE VIBRATIONS STARTED GETTING WORSE AS TIME WENT BY. THE SERVICE TECH AT LITHIA FORD FRESNO, CA IMMEDIATELY SAID THAT IT WAS A MOTOR MOUNT. FORTUNATELY FOR ME IT WAS STILL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND NOT THE TIME ONE. STILL I HAD TO BUY 2 FRONT TIRES WHICH COST $270. *TR

IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND WRENCH WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART TO RESUME NORMAL FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.
Suspension, Sep 19, 2014
I PURCHASED THIS 2010 FORD FOCUS SEL BRAND NEW ON 12/31/09. SOMETIME IN 2012 (I ESTIMATE AROUND 12/13/12), I PURCHASED A NEW SET OF TIRES (APPROXIMATELY $600) AS I NOTICED THE CAR SLIDING AT STOPS AND SKIPPING ON ACCELERATION. I HAD THE CAR IN A FORD DEALERSHIP (JIM KEIM FORD, HILLIARD, OH) AND WAS SHOWN THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR AND HOW THE TIRES WERE WEARING UNEVENLY, WEARING ON THE INSIDE. INTO THE NEXT YEAR, I AGAIN STARTED NOTICING THE UNUSUAL WEAR PATTERN AND HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER SET OF TIRES ON 6/27/14 AT 56,000 MILES, $625. ON 6/24/14 I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE SWAY BAR LINKS REPLACED, $271. I CANNOT FIND THE RECEIPT FOR THE FIRST TIRE PURCHASE, BUT BOB SUMEREL TIRES (614)237-6325 WOULD HAVE PURCHASE RECORD OF BOTH TIRE SETS. MY CAR ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT NOW AND FOR IT TO BE ON ITS THIRD SET OF TIRES DEFINITELY SAYS EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR. THIS IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WITH THESE TIRES WEARING AND IS A CONSTANT WORRY WITH ALL THE CHECKING I DO TO MAKE SURE THE TIRES ARE OK TO DRIVE ON. I WOULD LIKE THIS MONEY REFUNDED (APPROXIMATELY $1500). I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR THE SECOND SET OF TIRES AND THE SWAY BAR LINKS IF YOU NEED TO SEE THEM. THANK YOU. *TR
