NHTSA Complaint #10069637 — 2002 FORD FOCUS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN SEPTEMBER. THE FIRST PROBLEM THE CAR HAD WAS THAT THE POLLEN FILTER BECAME BLOCKED AND IT HAD BEEN RAINING OUT SO ALL THE WATER FROM OUTSIDE CAME RIGHT INTO MY CAR AND I GOT ABOUT AN INCH OF WATER IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR ALL OVER THE FLOOR. THE ENXT THING THAT HAPPENED WAS MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE BLEW WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD, THERE WERE NO POTHOLES AND NO CURBS THAT I COULD HAVE HIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THIS I NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC HAD STARTED BUBBLING UP AND PEELING ON THE LOWER B PILLAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR, ALSO THE CARPET HAD COME UNGLUED (FROM WHEN MY CAR FLOODED) AND HAD NOW PULLED AWAY FROM THE SILL. ALSO, THE WETHERSTRIPPING HAD COME UNGLUED FROM THE WINDSHIEL AND YOU CAN NOW SEE THE SHARP EDGE OF THE WINDSHEILD. MY CAR IS IN SERVICE TODAY GETTING THAT FIXED. THERE IS ALSO, STILL A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM WHERE THE SPEEDOMETER IS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAS NOT STOPPED. HOWEVER, EVERY TIME I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT DOES NOT MAKE THIS NOISE, SO THEY CANNOT FIX IT.
