The engine is pinking when pulling away at low speed. Also, accelerating after lifting-off for a while is always jerky - never smooth. This is particularly bad in low gears and town driving is frustrating.
Two dealers approached, neither found a fault.
Various clunks and rattles from the suspension and tailgate.
I love the car despite these problems. But I doubt I'll ever buy another Ford because of their very, very poor dealers who do not appear to care about their customers.
Have to aggree with you there. My Focus Zetec had EXACTLY the same problems as yours, and the dealers were just as bad. If you want a decent car, buy Japanese, like I did with my Toyota Celica which I bought after ditching the Focus.
Surely cars should be judged on issues such as performance, safety, comfort etc and not what the people who sell them are like.
It's not about the people that sell the car, it's more to do with the service you get after the sale.
It is not just a Ford thing, ask most Audi owners here in the USA.

This issue for anyone interested can be a faulty coil pack, resulting in the engine misfiring.
