2000 Ford Focus review from North America
"Junkyard on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
(1) Water leaks into this brand new car from the dash. The water filled the area where the front passenger would put his or her feet. The dealership would do nothing, offered to look at it in 8 days at the earliest, has heard of this problem before.
(2) Also the brakes shreek and I have been to have them fixed 4 times, each time they screech as I am driving out of the parking lot.
(3) Also today I decided to drive the vehicle and put the AC on the floor only function to dry out the right front passenger area. Not only does the AC not work at all, but the fan will not blow air if set on 1 2 or 3, it blows hot air only on 4! And I live in the south, I don't need any hot air!
General comments?
I want the company to purchase this heap back from me. I advise anyone considering owning a Focus to think again, they will have a great number of problems, and the Ford customer service is some of the rudest around. They don't care about you, or anything for that matter.
