Consumer Description

FORD FOCUS: BACK DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS LATCH. MY SON ALMOST FELL OUT OF THE CAR, THANKFULLY HE WAS STRAPPED INTO HIS CAR SEAT. I SHUT THE DOOR AND WAS DRIVING AWAY WHEN THE DOOR FLEW OPEN. FOCUS IS WHITE,ONLY 1 1/2 OLD AND HAS RUST SPOTS ALL OVER THE CAR. THE TRUNK OF THE CAR HAS THE MOST RUST.THE RADIO DIAL HAS MELTED FEELS LIKE YOU ARE PLAYING WITH BUBBLE GUM. HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS KEEPING THE CAR ON THE ROAD IN RAIN AND SNOW. I TAKE THE TURNPIKE TO WORK AND FEEL THAT I AM GOING TO SLIDE INTO ANOTHER CAR IF I GO FASTER THEN 25 MILES AN HOUR IN THE RAIN OR SNOW.*AK
