NHTSA Complaint #10068117 — 2000 FORD FOCUS

2000 FORD FOCUS...PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2000.....PRESENTLY HAS 30,350 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THREE OF THE FOUR AUTOMATIC WINDOWS BREAK WITHIN THE PAST TEN MONTHS. THE FIRST ON BROKE IN JUNE, POSSIBLY JULY 2003 (BACK LEFT WINDOW), THE NEXT ONE TO BREAK WAS THE BACK RIGHT WINDOW, AND TODAY , APRIL 30, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IS BROKEN. MOTOR STARTS TO GRIND AND THEN STOPS RESPONDING TO THE ON/OFF BUTTON AND WILL NOT MOVE THE WINDOW...WHICH THEN SLIPS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL. SINCE MY CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY THE DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO THINK THAT HAVING THREE DIFFERENT WINDOWS MALFUNCTION ODD. I DO NOT HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN THAT ROLL THE WINDOWS UP AND DOWN AN UNUSEUAL NUMBER OF TIMES...IN FACT, I SELDOM ROLL DOWN THE BACK WINDOWS AND ONLY USE THE DRIVER'S WINDOW WHEN GOING TO THE BANK, OR SUCH THINGS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE WITH ALL OF THE RECALLS AND OTHER PROBLEMS THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THAT THIS IS NOT YET ANOTHER ONE. *LA
