2000 Ford Focus SE from North America - Comments

Keyless remote stopped working.

Driver's side rear door will not open or unlock, either electronically or manually.

Power locks do not work.

I have only had this car for a few days. The keyless remote worked fine and so did the doors and power locks, until I washed the car. Now my driver's rear door will not unlock or open at all. The power lock button does nothing and neither does the keyless remote.

Manufacturers tend to save money by "margin enhancing" wiring looms. 2 will get you 10 that the door wiring is like a guitar string and either water has run down the cables into the solenoid or the plug has simply been dislodged.

I have several friends with Focus's. They are all well happy!!

I have had a 2000 Focus SE since last July, and I am very happy with it. I have never had any trouble with door locks icing up after a car wash etc.

Only once something very minor went wrong which has to do with my size: I am a little over 5'1", and when closing the

trunk I have to reach up very high in order to get proper leverage. Therefore the trunk was not closed completely and the warning light on the panel remained on which drove me nuts until I had the car checked by my dealer. We had a good laugh, and ever since then I make sure that that trunk

lid comes down with a good slam!

I have had my 2000 Ford Focus SE for about one month. I have come across the problem where the driver side rear door will not open and the alarm as well sometimes will not work. I would recommend this vehicle to someone who just wants to lug around. If you need to do some major driving this is not the car for you. The acceleration is horrible which you could expect from a 4 cylinder anyway. All in all it is not an expensive car and it is worth the money.
