Consumer Description

THE RUBBER GASKET ON THE TOP OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT HEADLAMPS IS DEFECTIVE ON THE 2000 FORD FOCUS. THE RUBBER DRIES OUT CAUSING THE GASKET BETWEEN THE HEADLAMP AND THE HOOD TO BREAK LOOSE AND POSSIBLY FLY OFF INTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THIS HAPPENED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT BOTH. I HAVE PERSONALLY CHECKED EVERY FORD FOCUS THAT I COULD, AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MOST OF THOSE CARS HAS SOME FORM OF CRACKING OF THAT RUBBER GASKET. *AK
