When I bought the car, the driver's side rear window didn't work. A couple of days ago while at school, I hit the button for the opposite rear window and the window slid down, and now it isn't functioning properly (I guess it may be off track) the car vibrates, sometimes to the point that I will turn up the radio to drown it out.
The great thing is the fuel economy. I drive over 400 miles a week, and the Crown Vic I had before would have bit my wallet.
Also I can only open my trunk with the key or the key fob.
It handles good, except in windy or wet weather.
The vibrations are extremely annoying.
Vibration, noise and poor handling in wet conditions point to the tires. Have them checked for belt separation, uneven wear, flat spots and balance.
The vibrations were due to a broken motor mount -- 132 to fix... The car has a pretty high center of gravity too, that is the wind part, wet weather -- probably the tires.
My 2002 Focus scares me when the road is wet, it has taken me places where I did not want to go, hydroplaning into the borrow pit.
I also have replaced the tires way too soon 80k tires at 50k. I started replacing tires so that I could stay on the road.
The car acts weird when the road is wet.
I have had 2 windows relays go bad.
2 front struts have been replaced. and 1 more has gone bad and is in need of a fix.
My Focus has 152k on it.
