2000 FORD FOCUS Unknown Or Other Problems

AT 148 MILES TOLD FORD THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH TRANS, DID NOT BELIEVE ROAD TESTED FRO 2 MILES AND HAD CAR FOR DAY AND A HALF. SAID THEY DESIGNED TRANS TO SLIP. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT IN THAT CONDITION AND REPEATEDLY CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE BACK AND QUESTIONED DEALERS ABOUT SLIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. TO SAY THE LEAST TRANS REPLACED. TRIM AND OTHER ITEMS FALLING OFF CAR AND FROD WOULD NOT REPLACE. MORE BRAKE JOBS THAN YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT. JUST GOT DONE PUTTING 600.00 INTO IT WHEN ENGINE THREW ROD AND NOW HAS TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF 3,700.00. FORD MADE A BAD CAR ND THEY KNOW IT , BUT WILL LEAVE US FOCUS OWNERS OUT TO HANG.

THE FORD FOCUS WE PURCHASED HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NOW FOUR TIMES FOR THE SAME PART TO BE REPLACED. THE IGNITION/KEY PROBLEM HAS BECOME AN ISSUE AS THE LAST HEAD MECHANIC STATED TO MY HUSBAND FORD WOULD NO LONGER REPLACE THE PART BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER THE INITIAL WARRANTY. WE DISAGREE BECAUSE IT IS A FORD DEFECTIVE PART THAT THEY PUT IN NEW AND HAS FAILED NOW FOUR TIMES. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE REPAIR "ADVISOR" OF THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE HAD THE WORK DONE FOR THE PAST THREE REPAIRS. THE FOLLOWING REPAIRS HAVE OCCURRED: AUGUST 02 INSTALLED NEW LOCK CYLINDER AND REKEYED APRIL 03 INSTALLED NEW TUMBLER SEPTEMBER 03 REPLACE KEY SWITCH THE ABOVE DETAILS I HAVE TAKEN FROM THE INVOICE COPIES THAT I HAVE. HE EXPLAINED THE TOTAL COST INCLUDING TOWING AMOUNTS TO APPROXIMATELY $300.00. NOW LOOKING AT THESE REPAIRS, ALTHOUGH THE SAME...

FIRST ONE: IGNITION LOCKED. ONE NIGHT AFTER CLASSES, I WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE KEY WOULD NOT GO INTO OR TURN THE IGNITION LOCK. I CALLED MY FORD WARRANTY AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER INFORMED ME THAT HE IS FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM ON THE FORD FOCUS, AS HE HAD HAD MANY CALLS TO PICK UP CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SECOND ONE: AFTER RETURNING HOME FROM DRIVING TO THE STORE ONE SATURDAY, I PARKED AS USUAL AND TRIED TO PULL UP MY HAND BRAKE WHICH WOULD NOT GO UP OR LOCK INTO PLACE. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE LITTLE BUTTON YOU PUSH IN THE RELEASE THE HANDBRAKE WAS LOCATED ALL THE WAY INTO THE ASSEMBLY NOT ALLOW IT TO LOCK. I PLAN ON TAKING MY CAR IN NOVEMBER TO BE REPAIRED. MY FORD WARRANTY WILL COVER IT SINCE ITS A FEW THOUSAND...

WHEN DRIVING CAR AFTER SO LONG THE ENGINE GETS HOT AND SPEED REDUCES. WHEN PUSHING ON ACCELERATOR TO TRY TO PICK UP SPEED, IT CONTINUES TO LOSE MORE SPEED AND STARTS JERKING. AFTER IT CONTINUES TO KEEP JERKING AND SPEED KEEPS GOING DOWN ENGINE SHUTS OFF, LEAVING ME SIT IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN WITH TWO CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF TWO. WHEN CAR STALLS AND YOU TRY TO RESTART, IT TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT START. ONCE IT DOES START IT SHUTS BACK DOWN UNTIL IT SITS FOR A COUPLE HOURS. HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. FORD REFUSES TO FIX EVEN WHEN UNDER WARRANTY. IT SUPPOSED TO BE SUCH A RELIABLE CAR BUT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE WHEN IT ACTS UP. COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT I'M PAYING SO MUCH MONEY FOR TO KEEP BREAKING DOWN. I...

I HAVE NOTHING BUT GRIEF WITH MY 2000 FOCUS. 1) MOST RECENTLY I HAD WAS TRAVELING AT 50 KM/H WHEN MY FRONT RIGHT COIL SPRING DROPPED OUT OF THE FRONT END. I PHONED FORD REPEATEDLY AND EVEN THOUGH I DISCOVERED A PROGRAM COVERING MY THE COIL SPRINGS ON I WAS GIVEN THE RUN AROUND SAYING THAT I WAS OUTSIDE THE PROGRAM RECALL DATE BY A FEW MONTHS EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS MADE AT THE WAYNE ASSEMBLY PLANT; WHERE OTHER PROGRAM RECALLS WERE COMING FROM. I ENDED UP IN A FIELD WHEN THE COIL SPRING BROKE, NARROWING MISSING THE CAR NEXT TO ME. I WAS THANKFUL THAT I HAD ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE BUT NOT TO BE COVERED BY FORD WAS A SLAP TO THE FACE. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE WAY THEY HANDLED THIS SITUATION AND I AM DETERMINED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS SITUATION. MY ALIGNMENT...

I HAVE A 2000 FOCUS. I EXPERIANCE HESITATION WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS ABOUT 1/4TH FULL, IT DIED ONCE WHILE TURNING AROUND AN OFFRAMP CLOVERLEAF. ALSO WHEN COMING TO STOPS IT IDLES ROUGH. WHEN STARTING AND WAITING WHILE IN OR OUT OF GEAR, IDLING IS ROUGH. TURNING CORNERS I OCCASIONALY GET CREEKS FROM THE FRONT AND REAR. SOMETIMES I HEAR THUMPS FROM THE REAR WHEN RIDING OVER BUMPS ON OCCASION. I HEAR AND FEEL A GROWL WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING REGARDLESS OF BEING IN OR OUT OF GEAR OR IN OR OUT OF MOTION. IT FEELS MORE PROMINENT WHEN THE TEMP. IS BELOW 60 DEGREES.

MY PAINT IS PEELING ON THE HOOD OF MY 2000 FORD FOCUS.

CAR CONTINUES TO SHAKE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY

2000 FORD FOCUS, RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILURE

IN APRIL 2000, MY CAR DIED. FORD HAD TO GIVE ME A BRAND NEW ENGINE. NOW IN DECEMBER 2002, MORE CAR PROBLEMS AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR IS NOT EVEN THREE YEARS OLD AND HAS TOO MANY MAJOR PROBLEMS FOR A VEHICLE THIS NEW. DT

FIRST PURCHASE FOCUS IT HAD A LOUD ENGINE WE TOOK IT BACK AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THEN OTHER PARTS OF THE VEHICLE STARTED TO FALL APART. IN A 2 YEAR SPAN, MOSTLY THE OCCURANCES HAPPENED IN THE FIRST YR, MOLDING AROUND THE HEADLIGHTS CAME OFF ALONG WITH THE MOLDING AROUND THE WINDSHIELD BACK AND FRONT, TRUNK WILL NOT SHUT THE MOLDING AROUND THE KEY HOLE FELL OUT AND THE LOCK INSIDE WAS LOOSE(TAKEN IN TWICE ONLY THE LOCK WAS FIXED ONCE THE MOLDING WAS JUST REPLACE THE LAST TIME, STILL WON'T SHUT) IGNITION GOT STUCK KEY WOULD GO IN BUT WOULD NOT TURN, ENGINE IS STALLING ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN CAR STALLS IN PARK AND JUST STARTING TO MOVE. DT

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE E-MAIL THAT WAS SENT LAST WEEK ABOUT THE SUSPENSION/ TRANSMISSION ISSUES THAT I HAVE BEEN HAVING W/ PORTSMOUT FORD. DT

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...

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE JUST LAST MONTH THE CABLE AND MOTOR IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW BURNED UP AND NOW WILL COST OVER $600. TO FIX I CAN NOT GET THE FRONT RACK & PINION FIXED BECAUSE IT WILL COST $1800.00. THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT NOW IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. I JUST GOT THE BRAKES REPAIRED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN MAY AND THEY ARE AGAIN SQUEAKING. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECEIPTS FOR WORK DONE TO THIS CAR. I AM NOW HAVING TO PUT POWER STEERING FLUID IN ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS ON THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK ALL THE TIME, AND THE ELECTRIC INSTRUMENTS TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES. (RADIO) THE DRIVING LIGHTS GO OUT AT TIMES AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON. PLEASE HELP ME, I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND...

THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR DOES NOT SHOW WHEN THE ENGINE OVERHEATS. CURRENTLY WE ARE TAKING IT BACK INTO THE SHOP BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE THAT COME THROUGH THE HOOD. WE FEEL THE CAR COULD CATCH FIRE AT ANY MOMENT AND THAT IS IS UNDEPENDABLE. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TWICE. WE DO NOT FEEL WE CAN SELL IT BECAUSE OF ALL THE ON GOING DEFECTS AND YET WE STILL OWE $9,000 PLUS TO THE BANK ON IT. WE FEEL TRAPPED IN AN UNSAFE, UNDEPENDABLE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. DT

I SENT A FORM IN YESTERDAY BUT DID NOT HAVE THE VIN NUMBER. THIS CAR IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW. MR

NO SUMMARY.

CAR STALLED ALONG SIDE A ROAD SEEMED LIKE "VAPOR LOCK" WOULD NOT START, HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER, HE CHECKED IT OUT AND REPORTED FOUND NOTHING WRONG, CAR STARTED, COMPUTED CHECKED OUT OK. IT TOOK DEALER TWO DAYS TO CHECK OUT CAR DID NOT GET A WRITE UP FROM THE DEALER CONCERNING THIS CHECK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR HAS BEEN THROUGH 4 SETS OF REAR TIRES PLUS ONE SET OF SNOW TIRE IN LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ALL REAR TIRES SHOW THE SAME PATTERN CUPPED AND BALD WITHIN 5-8 THOUSAND MILES DEALER HAS PROVIDED 3 SETS OF TIRES WE HAVE PROVIDED 2 REAR END ALLIGNMENT HAS BEEN DONE TWICE. THIS CAR WAS ALSO PART OF REAR AXEL RECALL TIRES SLIDE SIDEWAYS. DT

WHEN I GET CLOSE TO 1/4 OF A TANK OF GASOLINE, MY CAR BEGINS TO DIE OR SPUTTER. IT HAS DIED SEVERAL TIMES AND WONT RESTART. THE OTHER DAY I WAS COMING OFF AN EXIT RAMP FROM THE HIGHWAY AND IT DIED COMING AROUND THE SHARP TURN. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY SEVERAL CARS WHILE TRYING TO GET THE CAR STARTED LONG ENOUGH TO MOVE IT OFF THE RAMP. AFTER ABOUT 20 OR SO TIMES OF TURNING THE IGNITION AND GUNNING THE PEDAL, I GOT IT MOVED INTO A SAFE AREA OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT TOOK ABOUT 45 MINUTES AND A LOT OF CONK OUTS TO GET IT MOVED. I WAS STRANDED AND VERY ANGRY. I WAS EVEN MORE ANGRY WHEN I GOT HOME AND DID A LITTLE RESEARCH TO FIND THAT THIS SAME COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE TO FORD/NHTSA AND NEVER REPORTED TO THE PUBLIC. I HAVE HAD 6...

LAST MONTH, I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING ON MY FORD FOCUS WHEN IT FAILED. I HAVE HEARD REPORTS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND I BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A FLAW IN DESIGN. MORE DANGEROUS THAN THAT, THOUGH, IS THE PROBLEM I HAD WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE CAR LOST POWER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER RIGHT-HAND TURNS OR GOING UPHILL. IT DID NOT STALL, SIMPLY SPUTTERED AND LOST POWER FOR BETWEEN 2-5 SECONDS. ONE OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING INCIDENTS HAPPENED WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I WERE MERGING ONTO THE CAPITAL BELTWAY ON OUR WAY TO VISIT FRIENDS, AND THE CAR LOST POWER, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM, AS FORD HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. THE REPAIRS COST OVER $425, AND INVOLVED REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP AND...
