I OWE A 2000 FORD FOCUS SE(WAGON ) AND HAVE INCURRED A PROBLEM WITH THE TRUNK LATCH AND DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH. HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO VIN EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS THE SAME AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL. ALSO, VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I AM SUPPOSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE $456.00 REPAIR FOR THE DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH, AND $148.00 FOR TRUNK LATCH REPAIRS. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 1 YEAR , THIS WAS THE 4TH FORD, AND THE LAST I WILL EVER PURCHASE. MY COMPLAINT STATED THAT IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON A PART IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AT DEALER'S EXPENSE . I SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM I DID NOT CAUSE. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND...

THESE PROBLEMS HAVE ALL HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND SEEM TO BE COMPLETELY UNRELATED. THE ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH THE BRAKES AT APPROXIMATELY 13K MILES. THE ENGINE JUST WENT INTO IDLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED THREE SEPARATE TIMES, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE MALFUNCTION. MY REAR WHEELS STARTED MAKING A VERY LOW NOISE AROUND 8/15/02. AFTER AN ACCIDENT AT THE END OF AUGUST. THE NOISE WAS MUCH WORSE AND THE REAR BEARINGS WERE REPLACED BY THE SHOP THAT FIXED MY CAR AFTER THE ACCIDENT. SOUTH FLORIDA IS A "HIGH-SALT/CORROSION" AREA BECAUSE OF OUR PROXIMITY TO THE SEA. THIS WAS NEVER INTRODUCED BEFORE. WHEN THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER IS PUSHED IN, IT DOES NOT MERELY POP OUT WHEN IT IS HOT. IT EJECTS AND IS THROWN ON THE FLOOR. HAVING IT LAND ON...

AND NOW WE RECEIVED ON DEC 12,1999 A LETTER STATING THAT THE CAR WAS RECALLED BECAUSE IT HAD PROBLEMS WITH FLUIDS LEAKING INTO THE CRUISE CONTROL PANEL, AND TO CONTACT THE DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO WE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND LET THEM KNOW OF THE RECALL, AND ASK WHEN IT WAS POSSIBLE TO BRING THE CAR IN.
