2004 Ford Focus C-MAX Zetec review from UK and Ireland
"Deathtrap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sudden and unexplained power loss.
Flywheel had to be replaced at 18K miles.
Brakes wear out quickly.
General comments?
This car is an unreliable piece of machinery. It is also dangerous. I have had the car in the Ford garage on 5 occasions because of power loss. They finally told me it was a crack in the inter cooler causing the fault. A week later I lost power overtaking a lorry. As I said a death trap. Ford dealers are awful. Customer service is not in their vocabulary. I am getting rid of this heap of junk ASAP.
