2000 FORD FOCUS Service Brakes Hydraulicfoundation Components Problems

THIS CAR HAS MORE RECALLS THAN I EVER SEEN. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND GAVE ME SECOND DEGREE BURNS. THE BRAKES ARE SHOT AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH I ONLY HAVE 29,940 MILES. THE KEYLESS ENTRY DOES NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH ITS BEEN FIXED 2 TIMES THE IGNITION LOCKED UP AND THEY CHANGE IT THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKS BUT THEY SAY ITS FINE. MR

CONSUMER BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF APPLIED AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH OR OVER. VEHICLE WILL NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP UNLESS BRAKES ARE APPLIED WITH EXTREME FORCE. CONSUMER HAS HAD TO REPLACE PADS EVERY 3 MONTHS. MR

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING 45MPH HAD EXTENDED STOPPING AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. NLM

THE BRAKES SQUEAK, DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THIS IS NORMAL. *SCC

CONSUMER STATES BRAKES AND ROTORS WORE OUT, THIS HAPPENS EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. *SLC

THE VEHICLE NEEDED NEW BRAKE SHOES, PADS AND ROTORS. THE REAR BRAKE SHOES WERE CRACKED IN TWO. CONSUMER IS SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MONIES PAID OUT OF POCKET. *JG

SINCE PURCHASED. ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. HERE IS A BRIEF RUNDOWN OF ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL PROBLEMS IVE HAD WITH THE CAR, WHICH INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:3 MONTHS: THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WENT OUT. THE BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED (2 TIMES). THE GAS GAUGE STUCK ON EMPTY (TWICE). I FELT A CONSTANT PULSATING ON THE CLUTCH. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT ALL NEW CARS HAVE THAT FOR UP TO 3 MONTHS WHILE THEY GET USED TO NEW CHEMICALS RUNNING THROUGH THEIR SYSTEM. NEARLY 2 YEARS LATER, THE PULSATING IS STILL THERE. THE CAR EXPLODED. I PARKED MY CAR ON A HILL, WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE UP. THEN I HEARD SOME CLICKING AND A LARGE BOOM. I TURNED AROUND TO SEE SPARKS AND SMOKE POURING OUT OF MY HOOD, A HORRIBLE SMELL ENGULFED THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND MY CAR (WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE UP) WAS ROLLING...

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, DEALER FOUND THAT BRAKES AND ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TT

SIX WEEKS PREVIOUSLY, ENGINE STALLED ON FREEWAY. DEALER SAID COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM AND LET THEM KNOW IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN. 5/31/02 COULD NOT GET CAR TO GO; HAD TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THEY FINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE AIR INTAKE VALVE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. TODAY I HEAR ABOUT THE FOCUS STALLING PROBLEM POSSIBLY BEING CAUSED BY DEBRIS IN GAS TANK. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR FEAR IT WILL STALL AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS LUCKY THE LAST TIME THAT I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND DID NOT GET INTO A CRASH. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE CAR AND GET IT OFF THE FREEWAY. OTHER CONTINUING PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD THE DEALER FIX OVER 3 TIMES EACH: SQUEAKING BRAKES AND MOLDING AROUND THE DOORS FALLING OFF.

WHEN SLIPPERY OUT, THE BRAKES WILL NOT GRASP PROPERLY. THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WILL SLIDE. DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM.*AK CONSUMER ALSO EXPERIENCED THESE DIFFICULTIES AS FOLLOWED, POWER STEERING SYSTEM (EXPLODED, W/3-4 WEEK REPAIRS), TRUNK LOCK WAS BROKEN, KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM WORKS IMPROPERLY, THE TRUNK LOCK HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE, THE RADIO HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES & STILL OCCURS, THE WINSHIELD ARM RECENTLY BROKE, AND CONCLUDES THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO SLIDES IN DRY WEATHER. CONSUMER ADDS THAT SHE HAD FILED A COMPLAINT W/ BOARD OF FORD, THE CASE WAS LOST AFTER RECIEVING A LOANER CAR (DUE TO TAKING VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS) AND SAYS THAT SHE CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY OUT THE LEASE (WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL OCT 2002) *SCC

THE BRAKES MAKE NOISE EXERY TIME APPLIED, DEALER REPLACED REAR BRAKE SHOES BUT THE NOISE REAPPEARED. NLM

VEHICLE HAS BEEN GIVEN CONSUMER TROUBLE SINCE PURCHASING IT. 2ND DAY AFTER PURCHASE VEHICLE WAS IN DEALER'S SHOP FOR 2 WEEKS. WHEN PUTTING ON BRAKES VEHICLE SHAKES.

THE REAR WINDOW IS VERY HIGH AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO SEE VEHICLES FROM BEHIND. BRAKES FAILED MORE THAN THREE TIMES, HOWEVER THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX IT AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR THERE WERE 2 INJURIES, CONSUMER ALSO STATES THE AIRBAGS FAILED. *YH

AT ANY SPEED THERE'S A ROARING NOISE COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE. TOOK VEHICLE TO FORD, AND THEY STATED THAT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. CONSUMER FEELS IT IS THE WHEEL BEARING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN APPLIED. AFTER 4TH TRIP INTO DEALERSHIP, SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE FORD FOCUS BUT THAT FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ENGINE HAS FAILED ON ME 4 TIMES IN THE 18MONTHS THAT I HAVE HAD IT. THE DEALERSHIP JUST REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND SAID THAT IT "SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM." I DOUBT IT! IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, I WILL BE CHECKING WITH CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW. THIS WAS MY FIRST FORD AND DEFINITELY MY LAST!

THERE IS A VERY BAD SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING, AND WHEN CONSUMER LETS OFF THE BRAKE THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE. DRIVER STATES MORE THAN TWICE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.

I'VE HAD MY FOCUS FOR 1 1/2 YR. ALL I'VE HAD IS PROBLEMS WITH THE SQUEAKING BRAKES I'VE HAD TO GET MY ROTORS & BRAKES REPLACED @ 15000 MILES. IN THE PAST SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE I'VE TAKEN IT TO GET CK & SERVICES TO MY FORD DEALER NEAR BY I HAVE REQUESTED EACH TIME TO PLEASE CK THE BRAKES, THEY MAKES A NOISE AND EVERYTIME THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS OK WTHE VEHICLE. AT ONE POINT I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS JUST MADE THAT WAY. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE FORD SERVICE DEPT I WAS TOLD MY BRAKES & ROTORS WERE OUT & I NEEDED MAJOR REPAIRS THAT COST ME OVER $900.00. AT THIS POINT I DID CONTACT FORD I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPING TO ME, THEY DIDN'T CARE AT ALL. NOW AGAIN IN NOV/01I HAD THE ROTORS & BRAKES REPLACED AND NOW IT'S JAN/02,...

BRAKES FAILED. PROCEEDED TO STOP SIGN, PRESSED THE BRAKE TO STOP, GRINDING AND CLANKING NOISES HEARD, CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN AND CAR WENT COMPLETELY THROUGH STOP SIGN.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD, WHEN A CAR SUDDENLY SWERVED IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 25-28MPH, YET THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP, THOUGH I PRESSED DOWN ON THEM. LUCKILY, THE DRIVER WHO HAD SWERVED IN FRONT OF ME, NOTICED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO STOP, SO SHE SPED UP CONSIDERABLY. IF IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN FOR THAT, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY CRASHED INTO HER. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BRAKE PROBLEM TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEIR "ALL POINTS CHECK" INDICATES THAT EVERYTHING IS OKAY. TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY CAR, IT BEGAN MAKING EXTREMELY LOUD SQUEAKING NOISES WHEN THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. YET, NO ONE WANTS TO HELP ME. I TOLD THEM THAT I WANTED ANOTHER CAR, BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I'D HAVE TO PAY $3,000 TO BREAK MY LEASE....

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND WAS MORE THAN 10 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY MY BRAKES. I DEPRESSED THE PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.

CAR STALLS REPEATEDLY, AND BRAKES WHINE LOUDLY. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SERVICE CENTER A TOTAL OF 14 DAYS ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH NO RESOLUTION. FORD TELLS US THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO SERVICE THE CAR UNTILL FURTHER NOTICE. I AM VERY UPSET AT FORD AS A COMPANY, THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT, AND THEY ARE ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS. I AT NO TIME FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, IT SHAKES, SQUEAKS, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY STALLS AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE RECORDS FOR ALL SERVICE REPAIRS AND DOCUMENTED PROOF THAT THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE ALREADY TAKEN FURTHER LEGAL ACTION AGAINST FORD, BUT I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT WILL HELP ME IN MY LEGAL BATTLE. *AK
