My four brake pads and rotors were replaced at 12,000 miles.
Both trailing arms were replaced at 13,000 miles.
Alternator replaced at 14,000 miles.
Battery cable burned at 14,500 miles.
I purchased this car used. It is a so called certified used vehicle. When I bought it it had 10,000 miles. As soon as I drove it off the lot problems began to appear. The Ford dealer has been very good with fixing the various problems the vehicle has had. It currently has 15,000 miles and seems to be running good for now.
I drive a 2001 Ford Focus ZTS and it has been in the shop about 5 times since I bought it last march. The first week I had it, the cooling fan went out. That cost me $700, then 2 weeks after that my ignition coil went out. The same day I got my car out for the ignition coil, I put it back in the shop that night because my idle valve clogged up, then my alternator went out. Then just last week my front passenger tire blew out and made my passenger seat airbag deploy. Haven't had very much good luck with this car. I'll never buy another one.
