Early Focus models has some problems. The Focus seems to be marketed almost exclusily towards the younger crowd. see full Ford Focus review |

This is a very good car. However, people look down on Ford. It will take Ford years to regain the image of decent, reliable transport - which is what the Focus excels at. see full Ford Focus review |

Freestar has had a lot of electrical complaints. "TRAC off" lights coming on with no reliable fix from Ford. Repairs reported run from wheel sensors, PCM, ECM, Computer replacements. Ford gives no knowledgeable explanation of estimated repairs. see full Ford Freestar review |
