1999 Ford Focus LX review from North America

The spring to the driver side window wiper blew off at 3500 miles.

Shortly after the gas tank cover broke off.

Before 10,000 miles I had already replaced the back brake pads and rotors.

At 25,000 miles I noticed the lining around the windows and head lights were badly worn and needed to be replaced.

Before 30,000 miles the center dome light went out.

The driver side parking light went out.

At 40,000 miles the ignition switch went out.

I began to experience sever shaking of the entire car when applying the brakes.

Now at 60,000 miles I have replaced the battery.

The starter went out.

I cannot operate the door locking control from the driver side. Each door must be manually locked and unlocked.

The air conditioner is blowing out warm air.

The latch to my trunk works when it wants to.

I sometimes cannot get the trunk to close at all.

The right headlight is much brighter then the left headlight.

The seats are extremely uncomfortable.

The small cabin makes it very hard to see the blind spot when attempting to make lane changes.

The back seat of the car is too small for a regular sized person.

You cannot comfortably fit an infant rear facing car seat in the middle.

This car is unreliable.

I would not recommend this car to anyone.
