NHTSA Complaint #10023871 — 2000 FORD FOCUS

AT 40,000 MILES ON MY 2000 FOCUS WAGON, DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE CLUNKING NOISE I HEAR FROM FRONT AND REAR WILL BE FIXED WITH A NEW FRONT TIE ROD AND REAR SHOCKS. VISITED DEALER 3 TIMES TO FIX A WINDSHIELD WASHER LEAK INTO TAILGATE, FILLING LIGHT FIXTURES AND SEEPING INTO REAR OF CAR. I HAVE HAD MY FAN MOTOR REPLACED AND MY REAR DOOR LATCHES ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. ALL OF MANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED, WE EVEN RECEIVED 4 NEW TIRES DUE TO TREAD WEARING. IT TOOK MANY TRIALS TO GET A CORRECT ALIGNMENT. MY STEREO OFTEN WILL CUT OUT FOR NO REASON. I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND FEAR THAT THIS MOST RECENT SUSPENSION REPAIR WILL BE COSTLY WHILE I STILL MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON MY VEHICLE. CAN YOU HELP? *JB
