Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2001 FORD FOCUS IN OCTOBER 2001. IN APRIL 2003, I HAD TO GET THE FRONT BRAKES, PADS, SHOES AND ROTORS REPLACED. THIS IS AFTER I HAD ALWAYS TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I WAS TOLD THAT NONE OF THIS WAS COVERED. I WAS OUT OF OVER $400. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AGAIN 13 MONTHS LATER. EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE MAJORITY OF MY DRIVING IS HIGHWAY AND I CAN'T GET AN EXPLANATION FROM FORD. I PURCHASED A LEMON. THE SWITCH ALSO BROKE ON MY TURN SIGNALS. IT WOULD NOT AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF. THIS HAPPEN IN FEB. 2003. AGAIN, A YEAR LATER, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. *MR
