Ford Focus in Florida, United States Jun 2012 - Jul 2012 | |||
Jul 201265000 miUS $20 | Replaced alternator that was shot. Very difficult to access alternator where it is located below engine. Not designed for repairs/replacement by Ford engineers it would appear. Door Ajar Warning Light kept coming on. Problem with electronic latch monitoring device in LH door. Mechanic turned bar on door trip latch with a pair of plyers where it was worn from use. Problem solved for time being Replaced burned out rear plate light bulbs on tail gate of car. Another design nightmare from Ford. Took about 45 minutes to get to bulbs to replace within body of tail gate. The sockets are poorly designed and prone to losing bulbs. |

Metal-on-metal squealing sound near alternator - mechanic removed alternator, sound was coming from a vibrating pulley underneath.

Ford Focus in New York, United States Apr 2009 - Jul 2009 | |||
May 200939000 miUS $230 | Front right spring broke, also cracked the strut. It turned out the spring was covered under a warranty extension for that one part, but Ford never notified us of any warranty extension, so we paid out of pocket not knowing of the coverage. Cheap plastic thermostat housing cracked and leaked out all the coolant causing the engine to overheat. The car only has 39K miles on it, things like that should never happen on a car with that low mileage. |
