NHTSA Complaint #11165762 — 2012 FORD FOCUS

RADIO MADE A VERY LOUD STATIC AND POPPING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE MY CAR WAS BEING SHOT AT AND THE WINDOWS WERE BREAKING WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 60MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK. I WAS LUCKY IT WAS VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING AND NOT MANY CARS WERE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE SUDDEN SOUND CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO THE NEXT 2 LANES. I TOOK THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT AUTO MECHANIC SHOPS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE FORD FOCUS FOR YEARS, AND THAT THE RADIO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED.
