My 2002 ford focus has a plastic grommet that holds the base of the hood prop in place. This is a engineering defect, because our grommet broke and the hood fell on my husband and i. I ordered the part from the parts department at the dealer and was surprised it was a $5.00 part that i am sure will break again over time. In fact all new focuses have this cheap $5.00 part. I hope no child is ever near the hood when…

The radio only works for one minute and then it fades out, all you can hear is static. The most important of these problems is the leak. It has rained really hard three times in the past month, and all those times i have…

There is a line that went straight into the engine's intake that has been leaking fluid since 2,000 miles and was inspected by deler who told to me that it was nothing. But the engine case should not have a large leak of fluid that soon. Finally now, they have done something on this and replaced the hose, as it was seen once more and knows of all the times reported. I hope this is just not a easy fix or this now…
