NHTSA Complaint #11594254 — 2017 FORD FOCUS

The engine light came on and the car became hard to drive and steer. This was dangerous on the freeway; slowing and not operating properly in traffic. The car was then repaired and able to be driven for about 5 months and then it repeated with the oil pump belt shredded. The repair was done at a cost of approximately $2000. This didn’t fix the actual problem. The whole episode was repeated and the car became inoperable again. The car was towed to the Ford dealership and they are waiting for the parts from the Ford company to repair it. It has been sitting for almost three months inoperable. The recall came out in early January and it seems there should be parts to fix it by now. It is a huge financial burden.
