The back wheels started wobbling shortly after buying the car. I thought it was going to fall off. It happened a second time a short time later. I was then told that there was a problem that was caused by road salt.
Fuel mileage was not even close to what I was told to expect.
Needed new brakes that to this day still squeal.
Wiring was changed because the car started stalling.
Fuel pump replaced for same reason a few days later.
Engine light came on. I was told that this was their fault as they forgot to put some gasket back on.
Same thing happened a few days later. No explanation for that.
I can't drive over 55 km because it shakes so bad. They say it's the tires that are bad.
I've had to replaced the tires at least 3 times since I've owned the car.
I am extremely upset with this car. I do not feel safe driving it and will never purchase another Ford again.
If I had the money it would be gone by now.
We are on our second Ford Focus SE. The first one had 16 (sixteen) miles on it when the headlights quit working. The headlights were repaired nine times before we filed a lemon law. We settled the lemon law by selecting a second Ford Focus. To date, this car has had problems, with the transmission, axles, brakes, and tires just to name a few. The car has less than 20k miles and it is headed to the shop again for the same problem with the axles. We are frustrated as well because we purchased a new car so we could avoid headaches and breakdowns. We do not feel safe in this vehicle. I feel that the bugs should have been worked out of the Focus before it was put on the market.
