2006 Ford Focus review from Greece
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Before few days I bought a car, a Focus 4d on 30-11-2006.
This day was raining.. When I opened the boot to put my luggage in, I saw plenty of water down to the carpet floor area.. I could not believe it...
Next day I went to the Ford garage and they fixed it.. I took my car away..
After 2 days again, there was water in the boot. I went back to fix it again...
Re-tested by the guys there. Again they searched with particular attention as if the car was theirs.. and I thanked them.. They realized therefore that the water enters from behind the window glass... They say that in the factory they did not put glue all the necessary places.
They pulled it off, took out the window glass, put in new glue, and then put it again..
However, who can me convince that in the future I will not have such problems again ??
WHY DO I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR WITH REPOSITIONED BACK WINDOW GLASS?? I do not like this idea.. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND, NEW NOT USED…..
Another problem that exists is the following. Back left light it touches humidity..
Consequently, I've lost all the joy that I had for my new car..
Left for good!!
I paid 18500 Euros and feel sadness!!
And finally that sticker that says QUALITY CONTROL FORD OK.. Why do they stick it on without checking the car?? Why is it full of water in the back??
And finally; I paid to buy a german car and it was Spanish...
My friends laugh at my FORD FOCUS..
I would like to return this, to take a new car or to get my money back...
