2009 Ford Focus 4dr Sedan
140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 49800 mi US $436 |
One morning when I started my car, there was a creak coming from the dashboard, there is a very from strong smell coming from the air conditioner, and there is a vibration coming from the speaker. This car is falling apart after 49000 miles. |
| 3000 mi | Multiple thin areas, corrosion spots, and dust/hair in paint. Complete repaint. Rear passenger door hung too high. |
| 37000 mi | Emergency brake cable squeaking as vehicle encountered bumps; known problem area with a TSB fix that had been requested twice earlier but never performed. |
| 9000 mi | 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. |
| 12000 mi | Drivers seat fabric separating from pad. Ordered new pad. 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. |
| 29000 mi | Both headlights had spider cracks. Replaced. |
2009 Ford Focus 4dr Sedan
140-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD
| 47000 mi US $10 |
squeak from parking brake cable rubbing on body grommet |
| 14000 mi | There was a squeak in the rear of the car that was noticeable when going over large bumps. There was a TSB for a squeaky brake cable. The TSB called for a sleeve to be put over the cable in the problem area. This fixed the issue. |
| 10000 mi | During rain storms the drivers side front and rear floors got very wet, but they could not replicate it in the shop. |
| 15000 mi | Still leaking water during rainstorms. They said it is the front windshield leaking, but does not explain how it is getting to the back floorboards. We will see if this corrects the problem this time. They had to replace the windshield. The windshield shop put in their own brand, and Ford made them replace it with a CarLite windshield so that it maintains its warranty. |
| 60760 mi C $700 |
Window seals are defective |
| 24300 mi | Piece of trim near rear passenger warped and was replaced. |
2009 Ford Focus 2dr Coupe
143-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 9200 mi | 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. |
| 19000 mi | Various noises previously reported still present when car sold. |
