The main concern i have is that i have had this car in 4 times now for rear wheel bearings. My other issue is that when the actuator in the rear drivers door went out that all the locks and windows freeze up in the locked position it that is where they were at when it dies. Not the key, manually or remote will wor. This to me is a saftey issue, you could potentially be locked into your vehicle with no way out.

Takes off real hard like it wants to die but won't, then stops. When car is ran for a while it starts doing. We are not the only focus with this problem. There are others along with their reverse going out or first gear. Every one who takes it in doesn't get it fixed

I purchased my vehicle in february of 2002. Just 2 weeks after purchasing, car shut down and locked up. Had towed to dealership and found out that there were several recalls to be fixed. There was no cost for that work. Then in about april of 2002 the button that turns the air on and off messed up and the air would not work. We went to ford and since i had no warranty, i was going to have to pay for the repairs,…

But now that the car is 3 1/2 years old it's gotten much worse. (i completed incident…

Have had very discerning trouble with 2000 ford focus. Things previously fixed are still not working properly. I have had the car since late 2000, and it has been in the service dept. More than i have been able to enjoy it.

I bought the car in june of 2000 since this time the car has had a number of recalls on the car. I feel that the people that bought the 2000 model of this car should not be liable to pay the amount the contact was signed. Due to the fact that at the time the car was bought, the people that bought the car didn't know that most of the car's life would be in the shop being fixed. Also ford knew that the focus was prone…
