2005 Ford Focus ZX4 review from North America

I purchased a 2005 Ford Focus in October of 2005.

After a rainstorm in November of 2005, a major leak occurred, leaving over 2 inches of water on the front, passenger floor. The dealership fixed the car.

In July of 2006, I found water in the same location. After the dealership looked at the car, they stated that it is coming from a different location (not where they originally sealed it). They went on to tell me that they would have to remove my dashboard, requiring extensive labor, to locate the new cause of the leak.

Unfortunately, my warranty is up because I drive far to work. I have only gone 700 miles over my limit. After speaking with many agents at the Ford Motor company, I find I am out of luck. A service representative said that if there were enough complaints they would have to file a recall, but he has not had any yet (I am the first... I find that hard to believe).

I went on-line to search for others in my situation. I found numerous websites with complaints of Ford Focuses leaking on the passenger floor. I need to find others with this problem. We must demand that Ford take action for this problem. Please reply if you have the same problem and/or a solution or suggestion.
