2000 Ford Focus Zetec review from North America

Ignition switch several times.

Battery cable several times.

Battery three times.

Thermostat housing O-ring several times.

First set of tires came apart approx. within 15,000 miles after purchase, and Ford did not stand behind them.

Door latches.

Is sitting under carport as I speak now, runs for a little and stalls out, and then acts like the battery is dead, but it's not, but yet you can jump it off and it will run for a while, and starts all over again. Piece of crap.

The only good point from the day we bought it was gas mileage. Other than that, this has to be the worst car ever made, and that's even including Pintos and Chevettes. This car has been broke down more than it's been on the road.

My daughter can't even use it to go back and forth to school with, because it's so undependable. And her school is less than 1/4 mile from the house.

I strayed away from Dodge because of price of the Fords was cheaper; well we know why now.

I bought a 2007 mega cab Dodge 1500, and it gets 21.6 miles per gal. and I will not ever buy a Ford or Ford product again.

I tried the lemon law and they claim that the problems were not a safety issue. BS.

We Americans can't threaten auto manufacturers, insurance companies, phone companies, businesses in general, etc with our business because they don't care anymore. Used be that we could threaten to discontinue our business and they would try and make you a satisfied customer. Now they don't care because one person's loyalty means nothing to them.
