Ford Focus Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Sep | 2009 | 9000 | 0 | Car takes on damage from road debris on doors and dogleg. Paint strips away over time. A glaring oversight in windtunnel testing. Clear Bra material applied by Ford to prevent damage. |
| Feb | 2010 | 12000 | 0 | Drivers seat fabric separating from pad. Ordered new pad. Ignition switch stiff and hesitant to return. Asked for TSB for repair...said car does not fall under TSB but will fix anyway..ordered part. Fuel injectors ticking loudly. Ordered fuel rail insulator to quiet them down. New seat fabric replaced on bottom cushion. Was told that fabric will "tighten up" when outside temps stay above freezing. Will keep you posted on this one. Ignition switch replaced. There was a TSB out on it but dealer claimed my car was not included in the TSB. They did verify the concern however and replaced it anyway. Ticking injectors "fixed" by putting foam insulator on fuel rail. Much quieter now. So far, I'm impressed with Fords quick resolution of problems..not so impressed however with how many there are on such a basic, 10 year old platform. |
| Apr | 2010 | 14000 | 0 | Belt tensioner failure. Glazing belt. Ordered part. Belt tensioner and belt replaced. Just too many problems with this car with 17,000 miles on it. Does not inspire confidence. Selling car. |

| Feb | 2010 | 9500 | 0 | Hopeless. Problems are mounting with this car and Ford has no intention of fixing any of it. I'm selling it and am done with Ford after driving only Fords for 16 years. There is an accessory noise that sounds like a clunking coffee can rolling around. Dealer says there's no fix of course. Something in the door is swinging around loose and knocking against the inside of the door and the door itself. Dealer of course refuses to fix. Clutch position sensor switch has malfunctioned causing the idle to hang even with the clutch in. Switch squeaked since new, then started popping and the idle started hanging. Dealer doesn't have a clue what they're doing and replaced the spring. |
