2001 Ford Focus ZTS review from North America
"I love the car. Hate the maintenance issues"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water leaks into the passenger side of car, from behind the glove box.
The car makes lots of brake dust, and brake noise.
The struts are making noises.
The check engine light came on at 13,280 miles, and it started to stall at around 40 plus MPH.
General comments?
I love the car. But with all of the nuisance that it is arousing and dealer being difficult to deal with, I am considering not buying another Ford.
I like the performance of the car, and it is comfortable and welcoming on the inside.
