My husband was driving our 2000 ford focus zts and the clutch pedal fell completely off. After doing research i see that there was a limited time recall for this item, however we are 2nd owners of this vehicle i am assuming the original owners did not have this fixed. However, we purchased the vehicle from a ford dealership in 2001 before the recall expired and they also did not have the faulty clutch replaced.…

Needed to have the clutch replaced with only 37,340 miles on the car. Noticed burning smell coming from car especially in the summer when stopping on hills. It seemed that having the air conditioner on, stopping on a hill, and then driving out of 1st gear for some reason burns out the clutch. So the clutch wore out and i had it replaced at a cost of $924.96. Was told by dealership that it was probably due to the way…

We purchased our 2000 ford focus in august of 2003 it had low miles and we figured i was a good car. In october it broke down on us and it was a clutch disk that went out. We said ok and they fixed it under warranty. The day after we got it back from the shop it started making a weird noise so we took it back and they said they need to make a adjustment. Then less than 3 weeks later we ended up having it break down…

I took it in to the dealer and they repaired it. 30,000 miles later( mostly highway miles) third gear started making the same sound again.the dealer said it would cost me 900 dollars to fix it since it was not under warranty anymore.

The car intermittently will not allow you to change gears once you leave a gear and go into neutral (manual transmissions). Twice i had the car stopped traffic, causing many disruptions and a dangerous situation. Even if you turn the car off, you can not change gears. No matter how many times i tried, i could not engage any gear (1-5 or reverse). If i wait about a half hour, then it will engage again. I had the…

I was downshifting to stop at a red light when i heard a pop and then something fell at my feet. I took the car to a local ford dealer. They said that it was the clutch tension spring that broke, and they have seen the same problem 2 times prior. I called ford and there is no recall for this problem.
